We have heard an amusing story OF our western
friend Judge -, inferior only to that which is told
upon him in one Of his western campaigns to which
we will make particular reference lest perchance
the keen edge of his wit should be turned upon our
selves. He is known to have been most Jealous
81 40 advocate, as well as formidable opponent Of
the bill of denominations of l542. 1t seems he was
engaged in conversation, Saturday perhaps, with
some of the ardent friends of the tariff law, who lis
tened very complaccntly to his griefs against some
Of his southern friends, and perhaps hoped his
resentments might end in retaliation Certain it $50
the story goes-they reminded him of the grasplng
disposition Of those southern friends-of their OBJ
tanning his efficient aid in the annexation of Texas
in fighting the battles Of the slaveho understanding
war on Mexico for the benefit of the South, which
was looking now even to California and yet opposed
the West in the claim to the ,ohoie of Oregon"We do
not see how you can stand it" 81 do not stand It
very patiently, assure YOU" said the judge, with
all the gravity of the ermine. "l may forgive these
southern gentlemen for this one offence about Ore
gon that is far az can goi but If they desert me
upon the tariff, you may hang me if ever trust
them again" OF course the conversation here end
ed and the gentlemen walked off and there, no doubt,
the story would have ended. But fortunately an un-
seen democrat overheard it, and felt himself under
no injunctions of silence.


or tho Judge we will say, that whether his oPin-
ions be right or wrong, (and sooth to say they are
generally much characterized by their correctness
as they are by the great ability with which he
supports them,) he is always as true as steel to
the principles he adopts.
