Theatricals in Connecticut.—The

with force atul arms at Manchester, did ex
hibit in tlie sight of sundry persons, certain
comedies, farces, &:c., with a view of gain ;
and charged in the second count that the

their hands on the floor and throw up their

A Smoking Anecdote.—At Frankfort
lately, a curious circumstance occurred, ll-
lustiative of the characters of the surly
English and the dull German. In a coffee-
room, an Englishman was standing too
close with 11is hack to the stove, and a Ger
man kept close to him. puffing the unsavo
ry fumes of his cigar into his face. The
Englishman remonstrated, hut the quiet
German kept puffing away as if lie had not
heard the Englishman’s voice. At length
the Englishman showed a fighting disposi
tion, and maintained that no man had a
right to puff smoke out of his mouth into
another man’s face, and that tlie smoking
ought to he confined to smoking places.—
Tlie heavy German, with all the slowness
and gravity of his nation, coldly replied, in
the worst of English—“Ya, ya, Sir Jone
Bull, what right have you to complain to
make of de stinks of my smoke, when your
own coat have bin burnt, and make d—d
stink for ten minute, and I nothing says to
you I” The Englishman, to his great dis
comfiture, found that his coat or rather
cloak, was shrivelled and burnt up to tlie
waist by the German stove.
When tlie present Sultan of Turkey
came to the throne, his aunt presented him
with thirty beautiful Georgians and Circas
sians, she had selected and educated ex
pressly for him.
Talking of Women and Dancing.—“ I
believe a woman would do any thing for a
dance,’ said Dr. Growling; ‘ they are im
mensely fond of salutary motion. 1 re
member once in my life I used to flirt with
one who was a great favorite in a provincial
town where I lived, and she was invited to
a ball there, and confided to me she had no
silk stockings to appear in, and without
them her presence at the ball was out ofthe
question.”
‘ That was a hint to you to buy the stock
ings,’ said Dick.
‘No—you’re out,’ said Gtowling.—‘ She
knew I was as poor as herself; but though
she could not rely on my purse, she had
eveiy confidence in my taste and judgment,
and consulted me on a plan she had formed
forgoing lo the ball in proper twig. Now
what do you think it was?’
‘ To go in cotton, 1 suppose,’ returned
Dick.
‘ Out again, sir—you’d never guess it, and
only a woman could have hit on the expe
dient. It was tlie fashion in those days for
ladies in full dress to wear pink stockings,
and she proposed painting her legs/’
‘Painting her legs!’they all exclaimed.
‘ Fact, sir,’ said the Doctor ‘and she re
lied on me for telling her if tlie client was
successful.’
‘And was it?’asked Durfy.
‘ Don’t be in a hurry, Tom. -I complied
on one condition—namely—that I should
be tbe painter.’
‘Oh, you old rascal !’ cried Dick.
‘ A capital bargain,’said Tom Durfy.
‘ But not a safe covenant,’ added the
attorney.
• Don’t interrupt me gentlemen,’ said the
Doctor, ‘1 got some lose pink accordingly,
and 1 defy all the hosiers in Nottingham to
make a lighter fit than 1 did on little Jinny;
and a prettier pair of stockings 1 never
saw.’
‘ And she went to the ball ?’
‘ She did.’
‘ And tbe trick succeeded.’ added Durfy.
‘So completely,’said the Doctor, ‘ that
several ladies asked her to recommend
her dyer to them—so you see what a wom
an will do to go to a dance. Poor little
Jinny !—she was a merry minx—by the by.
she boxed my ears that night for a joke I
made about the stockings. ‘Jinny,’ said I,
‘ for fear your stockings should fall down
when you are dancing, hadn t you better
let me paint a pair of garters on them.

The Dead.—There is, perhaps, no feel-
incr of our nature so complicated, so vague,
bo°mysterious, as that with which we look
upon the cold remains of our fellow mor
tals. The dignity with which death invests
even the meanest of victims, inspires us
wilh awe no living creature can create.
The monarch on his throne is less awful
than the beggar in his shroud. The marble
features, the powerless hand, the stiffened
limb, the eye closed and glazed—oh ! who
can contemplate these wilh feelings which
can be defined!—These are the mockery of
all our hopes and fears—of our fondest love,
and of our fellest hate.
Spfffli of the Hon. James A. Meriwether.
ON THE REPEAL OF THE BANHRUPj
Delivered in the House of Representatives, Jan. 3,1843.
I Mr. Meriwether said that he concurred
fully in opinion with the gentleman from
| New York, (Mr. Bowne,) that there would
: be no repeal of the bankrupt law at the
| present session. He had no doubt that ma-:
ny of those who professed to oppose the law
were at heart its friends, and that such .
would vote for all motions for commitment,!
for all instructions, to waste time and defeat
j action. They are opposed to repeal, but, j
I to save appearances, were compelled to 1
i make a show of resistance to the law. The I
measure had been made a theme for par- i
ty declamation throughout the Union. It 1
would be difficult to find in the vocabulary :
, of epithets one which had not been exhaus
ted upon both the measure and its advo- I
cates ; and now, after it had been made the !
stepping-stone to power, it would be too j
impudent for those who had so used it at i
once to vote against the repeal ; hence they |
have sought its defeat by indirect attacks,
and will no doubt succeed in their purpose. I
The whole country had been aroused against
tlie law ; its provisions had been declared ;
to be ruinous, dishonest, villanous; and
yet those very provisions, thus condemned, 1
had, every one of them, time and again,,
been commended to the people, by the!
votes of the leading members of the De- j
mocratic party in the Senate. All this the !
country had neglected to look at, and the
advocates of the law had not had time to ■
catch the first calm, in the storm which had
swept over them, to demonstrate it. The
law, just as it is, without change of a sylla-,
hie, word, or sentence, is acceptable, no i
doubt, to the majority of the democratic
party ; but they have told the people dif
ferently, and must now act with some show 1
of sincerity. But I predict this repeal bill
will be strangled just where it is, and next;
session the Democratic party, having the
power, will complain of their inability to
correct all of “ Whig misrule," and leave
the bankrupt law still in full operation.—
TheybcLsjust stated by the gentleman show I
that 1 am not very far wrong in my sus- 1
picions. He tells us that he voted against I
the passage ofthe bill originally, thattheie
is not a man in his district, save one, who i
dose support it ; that that one is an “ open ,
and avowed suppoiter” of the law; that;
the people demand the repeal, and, to insure
it, have left him (Mr. Bowne) at home, anil
elected in his stead tiiis very same “ open
and avowed suppuiici ,t of tl.o p.esent law.
This fact shows that the excitement in the !
gentleman’s district was not very alarming,
however unanimous it may have been.—
And it shows, further, that the gentleman
may have mistaken public sentiment ; and
in order to get into the current again, and j
to keep up appearances, it may be that liis
■ speech was intended to do what he censured
in others so much—to stave off’ the ques
tion of repeal ? That strange speech had
an “ awful squinting” that way.
This fact shows, furthermore, what confi
dence is to be placed in tlie complaints of
the Democratic party against their* oppo
nents and their acts. No exception to the
acts ofthe Whig patty was more prejudical
to them than that founded upon the bank-j
rupt law. It was daily denounced as the
means of destroying all confidence in socie
ty, and bringing bankruptcy and ruin upon ;
j the whole country. It was denounced as a
I system of robbery, and a palpable violation
j of ti.o Constitution. Tnese charges have
been believed, and the country in,., L y ; tc j
vote,evicted from power and place the party
| who held control when tlie law was passed. |
! Tlie gentleman was no silent spectator in
j the great struggle. He denounced the law ; j
liis constituents agreed with him, all but
one man; and now when the battle has
| been won, when the weapon of asault is yet |
reeking with the blood ofthe victim, when 1
; victory is certain, that very constituency i
hurl from their affections the man who had
faiilifully sustained their views, and have;
| elected in liis place one who had ’opposed i
1 him and them upon this very question.— j
[ For th e party's sake, they joined in the de-
1 riunciation, and now for their oum sakes, they
| have elected a representative who could
without change subserve their views. They
opposed a principle to get into power, and
; when in power they sustain it, to keep
there.
Mr. M. said that he was opposed to the
repeal of the bankrupt law. He stated that
now, as it was possible he should not again
touch the subject under consideration in
i tlie course of his remarks, (laughter,) he
! should follow very closely the example
j which had been set him. lie voted origi
nally for the passage of the bill. lie was
not satisfied at the time as to the wishes
, of his constituents upon the subject. He
had to rely upon tlie evidence before him,
in the shape of memorials addressed to this
House ; upon private letters received by
himself and others ; upon conversations
with gentlemen who wete at the seat of
i Government, from liis State, at the extra
'session. From all these sources the
overpowering evidence was, that the peo
ple of his State desired the passage ofthe
| law, and he voted for it. Before the law
; went into operation, however, he became
■ satisfied that the same people desired its
repeal; he therefore voted in accordance
j with their wishes. Recently, tlie subject
had not been agitated ; but he had seen
the good effects of the law ; it was a mea
sure of justice, sent in mercy to a whole
people, groaning beneath the iron rod of
! heartless power, and struggling, amidst the
deepest and most gloomy reverses of fortune
I to subsist those whom nature had made de-
I pendent upon their labor. Then, upon his
own responsibility, he should vote against
the repeal. Further, he should so vote up
on every incidental motion as would most cer
tainly tend to defeat that repeal. And if, as it
had been said, it was an object of great de-
1 sire to the Democratic party to reserve to
a Democratic Congress the honor of repeal
ing the law, he would by his votes help to
«ive them an opportunity. Then we should
! see whether they would repeal the la w or re
tain it ; whether they would modify it; and
whether, since they have declared it to be
unconstitutional, they would attempt by
their legislation to set up debts which they
now say have been unconstitutionally dis
charged. Let them have a fair sweep;
and let us see how far they will verify by
their acts what they have said to the peo-
: pie.
Mr. M. said that he had been very much
amused at the confession of sins which was
now going on with the Democracy.—
Mr. M. thought it was no great effort of i that if they are rejected for the sin oifeder-
ludgment to lead a votary of Federalism)o j alitm, measuring the same justice to others,
Jemocracy; the dividing line between the
two had never yet been defined. The gen-
off or repel a man from the Demociatic par
ty because he was a Federalist, maiiy who
were now in their ranks would have no
further place there. This was a candid and
they must force “thousands of other gentle
men” from their ranks. Does not this look

by his patronage, is omnipotent with that ,
party. He has done what no other man,
President now is such, that the Democracy
dare not treat with ueglect or contempt his
overtures. They dare not refuse him au
dience. They must respond when he cries,

But it may be asked if Mr. Tyler himself is.
either in or out of the party, could do. He j without difficulty, surrounded by so many new
lias not only carried his own strength into
the ranks of tlie Democracy, but he has
associates and friends? It appears not; from
indications, it seems that there are false teachers

carried with him and installed in s \ns treacher ou9; and while they bargain for their
command, Daniel Webster and John C.

they "formed a halo of glory around its prin
