"By the fifth day of that campaign I see that all there was left for me wa.s the honor, the other perrogatives beia' prev'ously more'n swallowed up ia the defense of my country. Howsumever, havin' once set out, I was not the man to flinch in my dooty; and as the Jedge hounded and anticerpated me, so there was no perlitical measure took by the Jedge but what I and iny constituents riz up to defeat it. 'Gentlemen, I wish the whole w>rld might pause to witness an election like that which I am about to relate to you as havin' took place in our little coun try town of Amity. 'From a night unbroken by any In . cordent, except for the continual sound of cannonadin', and a slight skirmish between the Boys in Blue, headed by Hec A spin wall, and the Boys iu White, led on by Marl Junior—in which some was oncapacttated, but no serious loan to life or limb—the day rose calm and bright. Ere Pho&bus bad yet fully rix to light the orb of day, teams might 'a been see a-wendin' their way from mountains and valleys toward the scene of interest. Tito wimming stop ped to the houses of more centrerly located sisters to spend the day in tbem pursoots dear to the femernine heart while the men congergated in and around the precincts of the Town-hall. 'By nine o'clook, gentlemen, I doa't believe there was an able-bodied voter in the town of Amity but what had arrove pumtual to the polls, while the lame and the halt aud the blind from fur and near was a-bein' escorted thither in teams dispatched for the pur pose by the reprersentatives of our re spective factions ; but I regard it as a stain upon our history, gentlemen, yes, as an infamous blot upon our history, that, in the ondue crowd and excite ment of the hour, Jedge Marlborough ' was even known to employ the Amity i town hearse. And I wish that I might j add, gentlemen, that his attentions was confined exclusively to the outside seat. 'Gentlemen, it is not the practice at our elections to cast a hurried and on premeditated vote, and then fly from the scene of action. Sech is not the brotherly feclin' which has always an ncrmated the voters of the town of Amity. Many was the friendly dis-' cussions held that mornin' in and around the hoss-sheds and the Town hall. Sech as had long been enermies was seen a-walkin' arm in arm, and sech as bad never known each other wa3 witnessed affectionertly reclinin' ag'inst the same fence rail. And I ventur' to say that not a vote had as 1 yet been cast when it was announced that iysters was now ready, and our I stomachs—which had only been sua-1 tained hitherto on a little weak cider, I do assure you, gentlemen—hastened ; to partake of them delicious varmints. 'Gentlemen, when I say that I am fond of iysters, I speak warmly, but with limertations. But the capacity displayed for iysters by some of my j constittuents that day, I do not heser tate to say, was thoroughly alarmin.' Gentlemen, I consider a quart bowl full of them delightful insects, well seasoued with a quantity of crackers, a most nourishin' compound, grateful aud satisfyin' to the needs of men. But | when it oomes to two, three, four, and, yes, gentlemen, in some insternces, six bowls full, devoured by a single indi-' vidooal, I am disposed to tremble for my country aud my cause. Ilowsum ever, I was determined not to flinch, and as often as a reprersentativo of my | own party was borne over to partake of that mis'able cider dispensed by the ; conßtittuents of Jedge Marl, so often was some weak and totterin' member of the Dimmocracy led triumphcrntly up to partake of Republican iysters. Everywhere ilec and Marl Junior was conspicuous a cullin' detachments from the ranks of their rerspective enemies, and leadin' their scattered cohorts on to victory. 'I have stood in the thick of battle in defense of my country's cause, but, gentlemen, never have I witnessed a more thrillin' contest than that which I am now relatiu' to you. Never, gentlemen, have I beheld sech an on paralleled display ot patterotism. Of the supply of the enemy's ammernition in the shape of sech cider as I have above mentioned there could be no doubt. Ihe only question was, would the supply of iysters prove equal to sech an onexpected and onparalleled capacity. lam grateful to say, gentle men, that it did; but I must not an ticerpate. 'Perhaps the most curious incerdent connected with this eventful day, or, indeed, as ever occurred in all my per litical experience, is what I shall reveal to you at the close of this narrative concerning the singerlar vote of Aut Tilbox. J*'or the present I will only say that Aut is the derscendant of an ancient race which assumes to have suffered much pecunerrary loss through the war, bein' now some sixty years old, of a tall and corperlant physike, and though a nomernal member of the Dimmocracy, has long, as to his prac tercal vote, be considered more'n waver in'. I had seen Aut on this eventful day led enticin'ly from iysters to cider, and from cider back ag'in to iysters, ontil, irrespective ol party issoo, I was about to interfere in the general cause of humanerty. But Hec assured me that he had known him to stand fur more on prev'ous elections, and I watched his perceedin's at last in silence with a solicertude which was only exceeded by my amazement and cur'osity. From iysters to cider, and from cider back ag'in to iysters, Aut was winnin'ly and engagin'ly meander ed by our rerspective factions, a prom mernant figger in the general confusion, and one to which I confess, gentlemen, my eyes had now become glued with aq unaccountable fascernatioa. 'ln certain stages of bia inebr'ancy Aut has a reppertation for elerquence onequalled by any one in our town. Yes, gentlemen, and I think there is not a platform in our land which would have been disgraced by his address de livered that day in the Town-hall of Amity. But though speakiu' most elerquently of pattarotism and dooty, Had deaouncin', with a voice of thunder, the rag'.n' sea of perlitical corruption in our laud, he give no hint as to which war lie was pussonally inclinin' to vote ou tbis pcrtickerlar occasion, ontil, jest as he was closin', Marl Janior was , seen to press sometbin' affectionertly j into bis hand. 'When my eyes has ; closed ou earthly scenes,' then says ; Aut, 'Rnd I bear the flusterin' of angels' wings, lot my last words be that I voted'—here Hue in pa?sin' was seen still more affectionertly to press some tbin' into the speaker's band—'let my last words be,' says Aut, pausin' for a moment, and rollin' bis eyes up'ards while a lingeriu' smile played over bis features, "iyaters, iysters, iysters.' 'Aut descended, and was now almost despairin'ly by Hec and Mart meander ed back and forth ag'ia, ontil I was compelled to observe that bis symp toms grew still more elerquent, aad be was only with great differcolty per ! veau-d from castiu' a prinimatoor aad inerfectooal rote for the deceased Horace Greeley. 'Stay me not!' cries Aut. 'He was the savior of his coun try, the institooter of a new order, a i martyr in the glor'ous cause of liberty, and, above all, the pussonal friend of Aut Tilbox!' And be endeavorvd ! wildly to reach the polls, but was restrained, and on bein' told that the illustrious canderdate was dead, be re tired into a corner, and for some mo ments was seen to weep onrestrainedly. Concluded in our next. The Republican Defeat. The severity of tbe rude shock which Republicans experienced on Tuesday is becoming toned down by sober reflection. Disappointed voters will follow tbe example of tbe mari ner in the prologue of Webstor's fa mous speech in reply to Haynu, "who tossed foi many days iu thidt weather, and on an unknown sea, arails himself of the first pause in the storm, the earliest glance of tbe Bun, to take bis latitude, and ascertain how far the elements hare drireu him from his true course." After this has been dune, an examination of tbe ship is ia order, and the discovery will be made that tbe ship is all right, sound in all her timbers, but like a certain ancient vessel on its way to an eastern seaport, a Jonah will be found to bare been the cause of this terrible fury of the deep seas. Profouud relief will take tbe place of fear when this dis turbing, obnoxious passenger is found to be stowed snugly away in tbe belly of the Democratic whale. The Republican defeats in Pennsyl vania, New York and all the rest of the States, bear this unmistakeable meaning; that a very large minority of Republicans will not put up with broken promises, with party misman agement, with selfish uses of official position or with autocratic dictation ot nominatians, no matter how honest, worthy or capably the candidates may be. The vigilent, untnunmeled minor ity cries a halt to political abuses be fore the disease becomes too deep for the surgeon's knife. The wouod that has been inflicted is happily a healthy one and will soon heal. The crushing blow dealt po litical bossism all over the Nation, lifted at the same time the Republican party back to its heroic foundations, built by Lincoln, Sumner, Wade, Qiddings, Garfield and the rest of the immortals who "coined tbeir heart's blood" to make it imperishable. It can not expect to exist if it become* untrue, disloyal to its creed, if it becomes the companion of political debauchery, and condoner of fraud. No party in tbe history of the world has accomplished as much or become as powerful as the Republican party of this Nation, and no party ever had within it, so suro and so relentless a monitor. It has sounded warning upon warning at the approach of un clean things, which if heedod, would hare prevented the castigation receiv ed on Tuesday. If this will not have the desired effect, a still more over whelming defeat may be looked for. There is nothing local about it, and the moral of it may better be swallow ed now, than to wait until later when the stomach will perhaps not be in a condition to digest it.— Oretnsburg Pre**. The Dead Alive, NBW YORK, NOT. 10. —An extraor dinary case of suspected animation £B exciting much interest at West Brigh ton, Staten Island. On Monday a young man named Michael Connelly, aged twenty-eight, died suddenly. The body was embalmed, placed in a coffin, and arrangements were made for the funeral to-day. When the undertaker reached the house; at the hour appoint ed for the funeral, he was thunder struck by the announcement th»t the supposed corpse was still alive. It wag found that tho body had leaned over on one side, and that the face was regain ing its natural color. The undertaker at first rejected the idea, and ascribed the color to the preservative quality of the embalming mixture, but finally recommended that a physician be seat for. Shortly after, I)rs. Nalzer and Ambrose arrived and held a consulta tion, and it was decided to defer the funeral and await the result. Tbe mother declares that she will keep her boy here for the next ten years, aye, forever, as long as he keeps his color as he does! The scene at the time defied description. Women screamed, men rushed to an fro and drove away the carriages. All day tbe crowdof curiosi ty seekers attempting to gain admis sion to the house has been enormous. The latest reports this erening state that the body continues to regain color and while the family are confident that life remains, the physicians admit that tbey are greatly perplexed.
