There is a species of humor peculiarly american which consists in grotesque hyperbole the caricature of some facts which expresses it bet ter than a faithful portrait would do. Some persons take the Snake and kill it when they wish to show it to us but the Lively Yankee humorist catches by the Tail As it passes and stretches it into such ludicrous pro portions As actors in pantomimes do the tails of those famous ductile dry Gons which so astonish and Delight the children. Instances of this wild and extravagant humor Are As common As prov erbs. Everybody has heard of the weather which was so cold that the Mercury went out of sight and which no doubt would have been colder if the thermometer had been Long enough. A similar exaggeration was a o that of a Young Man who took Calo Mel on a morning so cold that the Mercury ran right Down in boots. And speaking of boots reminds us of the stage Driver who wore so Large ones that he had to use Tho Fork of the roads for a Boot Jack. The following passages Are Illus Tradii is the Man whose legs Are so Long that he has to go Down eel j Lar to tie up shoes. The Man who was so Large that he had to go out of doors to turn Over. The Man who snores so loud that he has to sleep in j the next Street to keep from waking himself. The Man whose nose is so Long that he has to step Forward three paces to see the end of it. The Man who was so Large and heavy that Shadow killed a Little boy when it fell on . The Man who was soffit that Shadow left a Greasy Trail As he walked along and the Man who was so thin that he did not make any Shadow at All. Anil among these deserves to rank the horse that Rau so fast around the ring that the spectators could Only see one continual circular horse to Gether with that More famous racer that ran so swiftly around the Arena that he nearly caught up with self and could see own Tail just before . A fireman once related a adventure in which he found himself in a Rich Saloon surrounded by wealth and Hue company i did t know myself until i Felt in my pockets and found ecu some Oue inferred that he was customarily Short of funds. That s so it steamboats were Selling for two cents apiece i Haven t enough to buy a Gangway we once heard a person Tell of a fright he once received from a 4,i lost flesh at the rate of ten. Punds a minute till the owner came and called along with this we May place the i Story of the Man who in consequence of a fright Rau so fast and so far that when he stopped it was More Thau Twenty minutes before Sha Dow came up with . Lie was probably watched by the Man whose Dickey was so High that he had to climb a Feuce to see Over it. Support l our Home papers. The Cleveland Herald makes the following sensible remark in regard to local papers we know of nothing that is More dishearten ing to a publisher of a country newspaper than to be told. As he often is when soliciting sub scribers " f take the Herald or some other huge weekly and it costs due Only ?2 a Jear and contains twice the amount of Reading mat ter yours when the receipts of one week of the office named above would be double the yearly receipts of country paper and which if the foreign papers were published seventy years would not result in any More Benefit to himself and the county in which be lives a3 would a single edition of own paper. Be collect that if a Home paper is to be supported Home influence must do it. A county acquires prominence through its papers More than in any other Way its Home paper is a necessity. Never will such a Man take a paper printed away from Home until he is Able to take a second paper. His first will b. His Home paper and he will so identify own interests with that of county As to consider the payment of subscription a matter of every Day duty a3 the payment of Bis taxes. It is not easy to love those we do not esteem. Up pit he Richard o Gorman Esq. Delivered before the democratic Central club of Philadelphia. There is a legend Atn Oug the dwellers by the i Ali ice that on 011c right in each year when the Moon is at the full the great emperor Charlesj leaves Tomb and Clad in Royal purple a with Crown on head arid sceptre in baud stately and Majestic As in life walks the Earth again and revisits the scenes he loved. When the moonbeams fall of the Ruble River and fling from Bank to Bank a Bridge of Light across that Bridge the Monarch walks and from the Hill beyond with outstretched Arm scatters benedictions Over All the German land. Lie blesses Cornfield and Vineyard Hamlet and Castle City and Ford he blesses the flocks and the herds he blesses the sleeping people and then Loving Mission ended he returns softly As he came to resting place in la Chappelle. Who knows whether such things May not be. 1 would rather Trust the instincts and traditions of the people than the Wisest theories of philosophers. If love can i Decd exist on Earth so pure lofty and unselfish that not even death can sever its Bonds if communion May be be tween the living and the mighty dead then chide it not to a wild superstition. Bear with it at least As a harmless fancy and forgive the enthusiast if such there be who dreams that on the anniversary of the Day when the great foun Der of the Ortli american Republic first saw the Light hi.? spirit too May be permitted to re visit the glimpses of the Moon to retrace in Loving pilgrimage the scenes of ancient re Nown to breathe into the hearts of those to whom memory is dear some of the patriotism which fired ins of n heart and to bless again with benign presence All the bounteous land in whose service every thought Hope and Ell Ort of Noble life were spent. cheers along the Road 1 have travelled to Day through the Gallant Little state that stretches Between this City and my Home lie Battle Fields of that cheerless Lut persistent struggle in which steadfast soul staggering under the weight of own cares yet bore up the fainting Pieart of the american , Princeton Trenton the Delaware blocked with ice the dreary huts at Morristown and Valley forge in which amid the snows and famine of Winter courage and Hope seemed almost to freeze and die Over All the scenes of trials and perils. Still rests to the glory of great name. Applause but it is Here 1 think More than in any other place Here in this Good City of Philadelphia where the spirit of the chieftain would linger with the Niu to tender remembrance. Here it was he saw the great work of life completed. Here in your state House sat that convention of delegates from the original states who were charged with the solemn duty of determining As to whether on any and on what terms these Sov Eri Ign Statas could become United. Over this great Assembly Gcorge Washington presided. J Thev succeeded. By their Wisdom and moderation and discretion they attained to Weir object. T alter Lour months of Earnest deliberation nud toil was completed that great charter of Ameri can Noble Compromise of conflict ing prejudices jealousies and theories that just and rational Bond of Union by which alone these Sovereign states differing in climate productions interests habits and traditions could then have been United in one confederation could since then have been kept United or can now be re ii Nitro if such be god s will. I mean the Constitution of the United states. Loud and Long continued applause by arms the states had won their Independence from foreign Rule Liy Mutual Concession and rational Compromise they achieved a higher Triumph Over themselves. By Means of that Concession and Compromise they became United into the confederation which we Call the United Lule. And though ruin May be drawn Down of this confederacy Ere yet tie generation that stood by its Cradle shall All have passed away though that great charter be rent by fanaticism trampled on and violated by frenzy though the people misled by the Folly recklessness and selfishness of faction May with their own hands cast Down and shatter into mean and valueless fragments the great Diamond which their forefathers bequeathed to Thorn and fondly hoped they would trouard it As their own souls until age after age had gazed on its Luster with increasing Pride yet still the memory of that Wise the men who composed the men who presided Over their counsels of the work they achieved and the Gallant Era from which they sprung will be dear to every heart and in every Home All Over the Earth where still lingers the blessed Faith that in spite of failures defeats and disappointments ration Al Liberty is yet within the reach of rational men cheers Washington was steadfast Loyal valiant moderate. Wise and Good. There appear in history Many characters Bril Han and dazzling. I know of to More Sterling Well balanced and Complete. Lie was indeed the right Man in the right place. The True representative and embodiment of the Best qualities of people and age. For 1 Atu far from thinking that the prominent men of any country or time Are the producers of its greatness or Tho Cruse of its decay. They Are not creators but creatures. A heroic age will seek heroism and by a sure instinct find it and cherish it and set it at its head. A prudent age will find prudent men. An honest age will find honest men for its guides. An age of fickleness recklessness levity shells Ness and of eruption will set in its High places men after its own image and , self ish and then and cast them aside first elevate and flatter and then despise insult and destroy. This is the a deviating Law of history King or Kaiser doge or the people Are so will the ruler be for Good Orill. When therefore you Honor Washington As the chief of the armies of the states As head of that convention by whose Wisdom Lioy were United in one confederation As president of the states so United and pronounce to have been in each capacity Brave faithful chivalrous Wise and Good an Honor to the people and age in which he lived for of their character he was the highest Type and exemplar. Continued on the 4th of March 1794, Only sixty Niue years ago career of forty five years of Public life was brought to a close on that Day in your state House successor in the office of president was inaugurated. General washing ton assisted at thu ceremonies and when they were done leaning on the Arm of James Wilson a valued citizen of Pennsylvania and then judge of the supreme court he walked to dwelling. He was silent and wrapped in thought All the Way at least when he turned Arou Dat own door he became for the first time aware that Steps had been followed by a reverent and silent crowd who stood there uncovered to pay their last obeisance to the Man they had trusted and loved. This last tribute of respect was too much for . The Fountain of emotions Long controlled of crowed at last. Tears burst from Bis eyes every Effort to speak was unavailing and waving to the people a mute Benediction and hire Well he entered House and was seen As a pub lie Man no More. Could Washington take the game path to Day what a different sight would meet eyes. But sixty nine years gone by and yet How woefully All is changed. Then with the Young Republican was Well. Independence from foreign control had been obtained. The states had agreed to unite on terms which afforded a hopeful Prospect that they could for Ages live together in peace. Congress had assembled and deliberated with dignity and temper nay the Only question from which difficulty might be apprehended had been discussed and dealt with As became men conscious of their duty not to a Section or a party but to All the � United states. In the first Congress of the Chi Ted slates on february 12th, 1790, a memorial i signed by Benjamin Franklin on behalf of the pennsylvanian society for promoting the Abo lotion of slavery was presented to the House i of representatives and read. It prayed that the House would countenance the restoration to lib i erty of those in bondage and that they would step to the very verge of the Power vested i in tic in for discouraging every species of traffic in their fellow the subject of this memorial after repeated discussion was referred to a special committee. Their report was submitted to a committee of the whole and they striking out a considerable por Tion of the report co tined themselves at last to the simple declaration i that Congress had no authority to interfere with the emancipation of slaves or in the treatment of them within any of the states it remain aug with the sever. In states alone to provide any regulations therein which humanity and True policy May and so that question seemed then to have been wisely and definitely settled and set at rest for Ever. Lathe hearts of the people of the United states North and South peace and Good will seemed to , How strangely and Bow woefully All is changed. J America has drawn a sword against itself. By american hands american blood is shed Ameri can citie3 ruined american Fields Are ravaged and ibid avast. A a Refl War of magnitude and de3tructivcnesg scarce Ever equated in the annals of Barbaric ferocity rages throughout the land. American ports Are blockaded american com-1 Renerce is preyed upon by american ships Amer ican Money is lavished american lives Are spent in perfecting and applying the must efficient Means of spreading among americans death havoc and desolation. Christianity shuddering veils its head in woe. # a a there is no glory in civil War. There arc no laurels to be gathered there. It is a National disgrace and Only admin Sable when some Over ruling necessity runners it inevitable. The cause of quarrel in this instance is of old 1 standing and really and in fact in the beginning Only Between certain of the Southern and certain of the Eastern states. The Southern states complain that their Eastern Brethren were bad neighbors meddling troublesome inquisitive Ami interfering in the conduct of Domestic con terns Over which they could have no conceivable right or control and they gave repealed warning that unless that meddling was Discon tinned they Shui ild Pari company. The Eastern states on the other hand averred that their Southern neighbors were in fact in a vicious god forsaken condition that they managed their Domestic affairs in a highly disreputable manner. That they the Eastern would meddle just As much and whatever Way they pleased and that whether their Southern neigh Bors liked it or not they should mend their ways As instructed and stay in the Union to the end of time now if the quarrel had been left Between these two belligerents possibly nobody would have been much Hurt. Hut the Eastern people were determined not to let l lie matter rest there and so they set to work with admirable adroitness and by degrees led the North and weat into the quarrel and so it grew from bad to worse until it flamed out at last in civil War. Let me Stop Here to pay a Tri Bute to the extraordinary Energy of that same new England race. It Calls itself Anglo Saxon and perhaps is but however that May be it has put Forth in this affair a Force and Suh Tilty of intellect admirable in their Way. It is omnipresent. It thunders from the pulpit it prevails in the Senate it has the press under its control. It manufactures , arms shoddy and Public opinion. Cheers and laughter it gives its treasure for Public purposes wit i a prodigal liberality and reimburses itself by the shrewdness of its speculations or the immensity of its contracts. It bids the West and middles states go and Light its Battles and they go. It governs Tho Senate the army the Navy the Cabinet the president and keeps turning the whole danger Ous machinery of government round its pliant fingers with a quiet Cotini Deuce in its own infallibility which would be pleasant to look at were it not so exceedingly alarming. Loud and continued applause it has now the management of this civil War. What is to be the result of it As to its object we Are All agreed North East and West All parties say it is a War for the uni on. In order to preserve the Union we arc called on to prosecute the War vigorously and if we can Lureby preserve the Union by All Means let the War go on. Secession i consider a fatal mis great calamity to the South As Well Lis the would adopt All honorable and legitimate Means to prevent it. If this Union is divided into two confederacy is i very much fear further division will be found necessary. I Don t believe the principle of co Hesion exists either in the South or in the North or West we have no doubt by the severity of our measures done much to har Iwu and consolidate into one common sentiment of Strong aversion to ourselves the jarring elements in the Southern states. La the North and West on the other hand i the pressure of the War has not been of a kind j to produce any such invigorating effect. In a word i fear the great confederation would break into fragments both in the South and in the North. European intrigues would keep them 1 apart and utter exhaustion and disgrace be the a Soult. Whatever then can be legitimately done to Avert this mighty evil ought to be War the Way to stay it can you unite a 1 people by a War by War you can overpower subjugate devastate annihilate but ran you unit " War Jot a Union 60unds to me like nonsense. The Experiment has been often tried before now but 1 know of no Case in which it has completely succeed cd. Holland tried it in 1830, when Belgium revolted and Holland Russia is in a state of chronic War for Union with Poland. It tries the Bayonet the Gallows the i Knout and can t succeed. Austria plays the 1 same game with Venice and Hungary with what Success we All know. Even England and ire j land for six Hundred years have been vigorously prosecuting a War for Union and i verily be Lieve that they Are As far from any real cordial i reliable Union now As they were on the Day when they commenced. Loud cheers histor is against the revolts at it. By War you repel not attract or unite. Every i Battle fought every town destroyed every Fiel Laid waste is a drop More in the chalice of bit ter memories which make aversion instinctive and eternal. If this be by War we cannot restore the Union but rather reuder it what grounds can this War be defended ? but i May be told by successful War we May be Able to conquer the Southern land. We can then set the negroes to work for us and grow Cotton and Rice and sugar for ourselves. That � idea is intelligible enough. That however is not restoring the Union. To unite the Atid and not the people is what simple men Are in the habit of calling subjugation and subjugation of a most cruel Barba Rous. And inhuman kind. But even at the Best such subjugation never is Complete. Destroy Charleston destroy Vicksburg open the Mississippi break the Back of the Southern Power trample it under foot von will still have to keep it under toot and for this purpose an army of occupation and a Fleet will be a permanent necessity and a permanent army and a permanent Navy. Such As would be needed for such service would be As Washington warns you in fare Well address a permanent danger to the Republic. Great applause von see what inroads on Republican Liberty have been made thus far. But these find men to excuse them of Ibe ground of temporary passing exigency of the War. But think of a future when the Neces sity shall be continued the tear Power Perma nent. But some of my friends in the War for the Union let me say that i have friends in that party whom i esteem and love for i know them to be As sincere in their views As i am in say to me " if Yon think no Good result will come out of the War. What would you do you would not surely negotiate with Trai tors with arms in their hands i would assuredly if by that negotiation i could get them to Lay Down their arm3 and agree on some reasonable terms on which they and we could live for the future in peace. Continued applause i am sure that there Are numbers of moderate and honest men still in the Southern states who Are sick and tired of this War. The Southern states have fought a wonderful fight. Against numbers wealth manufacturing the heaviest Odds they have tended with a courage and fortitude scary Al led in the history of human endurance a i must know that they Are outnumbered weighted tired out and in spite Brave word3 it cannot be but that gladly accept any reasonable terms their lives their rights and their Hoij be quaran teed them. Cheers if Ever this Union i restored it by some Compromise. Renewed this War must end some time. Only legitimate end and purpose Oft on some terms must come at last. Day could there be to speak of Peac Day. Sacred to the memory of a what filter place than the City of 1 Kay there Are some reasons to from the Island in which i was to less fitted on that account to utter will Tell you Why in the year 1775, when tha great Britain and her revolted commencing a Hea Frimet. Of ran one cry of indignation their treason one voice even in the Bri ate was raised in their behalf. That voice was an irishman Burke. Others were hot for War subjugation and devastation. It counselled conciliation redress of grievances Concession forgiveness peace. His voice was then unheeded. Great Britain in her arrogance would listen to no Concession and Drew the sword. The colonies resisted. Perpetually Defeated broke up by the British onetime their whole army did not number eight men. Their final subjugation was promised from month to month and seemed Only a question of time. Yet they were not subdued. A Hundred opportunities for co in Inion were wasted. They be came free set ftps. Ami vre lost m by Tain forever. And could Edmund Gnirke under the must be spoken and it Mustbe heard for when the heart of the people i stirred it Speaks in Thunder. Their will must obeyed the desire to silence it on any pretexts liw Oai of incapacity or evil design on the who express it. These three states new pc Hwy Pennsylvania abound together by common interests tradition Sod Hopes by their geographical position marked out for peace makers Between the War ring elements that fret no Rains their larders. These in which Washington found trials reverses sul. Ings and triumphs these at least will be h be to ins teaching will respect what he respected love what he loved and be guided by spirit to the last Ami even if Tho worst should come on us if the tide of fanaticism and Folly should Rise still higher if the Pil Lars of Liberty should one by one he snapped and overwhelmed even amid Tho Waves of anarchy or despotism still Bre Asting the Hood the people will lift their eyes to the memory of Washington As the Bright particular Star of their Devotion and holding aloft the Constitution he revered cry to the last with unfailing Hope god save the Union Long live the Republic. The conclusion of the address was received with great applause. The on n a to dial districts of Ilic new mate. It May not be generally known to air readers that in the recent act of the legislature redistricting Tho state the three districts in a Csc Virginia were 60 formed that the exactly embrace the territory of the new state thus by n Happy adaptation providing for the congressional representation of the 4s counties whether As a new state or part of Tho old. The districts Aro As Well arranged As they coulis to out of the territory dealt with and Are very nearly equal in population. In the old state they Are the 9th, 10th and 11th, but in the new state they will be 1st, 2d and 3d, and so we will speak of them.

Stand by the Flag the following Noble words conjuring the american people to forget party strikes and bickering and rally around their country s written during the last War with eng land by Washington Irving will find a ready Echo in every Patriot heart whatever we May think of the expediency Ori expediency of the present War we can not fee indifferent to its operations. Whenever our arms rogue in Competition with those of the enemy jealousy for our country Honor will Swallow up every consideration our feelings will Ever accompany the hag of our country to Battle rejoicing in its glory lamenting Over it3 defeat. For there is no such thing As releasing ourselves from the consequences of the contest. He who fancies he can stand aloof in interest and by condemning the present War can Exon rate self from the shame of its disasters is woefully mistaken. Other nations will not trouble them selves about our internal wrangling and party Siw Stienb. They will not ask who among Naf ought or Why we fought but How we fought. The disgrace of defeat will not be confined to the contrives of the War or the party in Power or the conductors of the Battle but will extend to the whole nation and come Home to every individual.
