HOUSE OK REPRESENTATIVES.
Moßruar, February 10, 1H37.
The reading of the journal of the. proceedings
of Saturday occupied more than an hour.
The proceedings in the trial of Reuben M.
Whitney, for an alleged contempt, were then ic
sumod and the respondent, accompanied by his
counsel, took bis place at the bar.
The Hon. Mr. Garland, of Va., was railed to
the stand, as a witness, and was examined at great
length, by Counsel for the accused.
Mr. Love, of New York, made an effort to res
trict lltc range and length of the examination,
and after some remarks from him in support of his
objections, ho was replied to by Mr, Key, and the
House directed the interrogatory in question to be
put.
Mr. Garland, of Va. was still under examination
at three o’clock, —at which lime a quorum was not
in the House.
TRIAL OF WHITNEY.
Wasiiivotov, Fob. 111, 1837.
The ease of Reuben M, Whitney continues to
occupy the attention of the House, or rather 1
ought to say, the dial of Messrs. Wise and Pey
ton,—for tlie investigation so far lias been exclu
sively confined to liter “sayings anil doings” of
those two gentlemen. The conduct of certain
managers of “the party” in this business ought to
cover them wilb lasting disgrace. In obedience
to the despicable impulses of their own minds, or
to the imperious commands of n passionate old
man, they have entered on a course utteily irre
concilcable with the principles of law or justice.
The march of insolent power has been so rapid
»t late, that ilia public mind bus hardly bad lime
to recover from the shock of one exercise of des
potic authority, befuro another, and another still
more daring and dangerous, anil detestable, have
been exhibited. 1 verily believe that if Andrew
-lackson’were in power si< months longer, and
Congress should conliiiu-.'m session, he would is
sue his order within that time to have some of the
/leading men in each House, Mi. Calhoun and
Air. Olay, Mr. Dell, Mr. Wise, and Mr. Peyton,
Mr. Pickens, and others nnoatod for speaking
lltoir free thoughts;—and that not one man of the
parly’would dare to raise his voice against the
atrocious set!
1 placed the present proceeding, of the House
in a proper point of view last evening. I showed
you that by party organization and discipline, a
tasolution was adopted which gave to Reuben M.
Whitney the privilege of now examining witnes
ses, changed the whole scope of lltc investigation,
and actually placed Mr. Peyton and Mr. Wise on
tUoir trial for a contempt of Whitney. Fortunate
ly fur truth and justice, we arc at last approaching
the true issue, viz :—How comes it that Messrs.
Peyton and Wise are arraigned! and that the pro-,
sedition of the charge against ,'L’b- f •*/ I howi
abandoned. , * cr "P *rAVuuey lias been
This is the - -- 0
that is now reached; and from
, ’ •nW cries that were set up when Mr. Peyton title lu
ted to probe it to-day, the inference is irresistible
that just here is the very heart of the sore. The
parly will not, if they can help it, allow this to he
touched.
Among the questions pul the Hon. T. 1.. Ha
mer, one of the witnesses called by the accused,
was one by Mr. Peyton, requiring him to state
whether he understood the chief object of those
whooriginated and supported the present course
of proceeding, wss to lay the circumstances of the
occurrence in the committee room before the
world; ami whether ho understood that this comae
was the result ofau arrangement between the ac
cused and certain members of this House; and re
questing him to slate nil the circumstances on
which that understanding was based !
I give you the substance of the inquiry only ;
you perceive it comes directly to the point. It was
objected to by Mr. McKoon.
1 entered the Hall just as Mr. Peyton was reply
ing to ilia objections. His speech was brief—hut
it is universally spoken of ns otto of the most
powerful bursts of indignant eloquence ever heard
in Congress. I never heard any tiling, any w here
in Europe or America more effective; except lliat
noblest display of impassioned oratory, the short
speech of Daniel Webster, during the midnight
session of the third of Match before lari, on the
Three Millions amendment.
Mr. Peyton boldly staled his object to be to find
out the author* of the contemptible farce now ex
hibited in the House. He believed lliero was an
odious and disgraceful combination and conspiracy
bet ween this pretended accused, but real prosecu
tor, and certain members es lire House.
Hero several sensitive gentlemen called out
“ordet! order!” Mr. Claiborne and Mr. Yell were
more forward than others, and called upon Mr.
Peyton to name the members. “ Name! name!”
was shouted from various quarters.
•‘Names!” echoed Mr. Peyton. “ They are
precisely what lam aiming at—l want the names,
and, sir, I mean to have thorn ! Gentlemen have
been clamorous for proof. I tell them 1 will go
with them hesit and soul in pursuit of the proof.
He declared that if there was now no shrink”
ing, they would have names and facts, not on
conjecture or suspicion, hut given by witnesses,
who, he doubted not, would prove that there
were secret conclave out of ibis House, where
lire present course of proceeding was resolved up
on, and whence by stealth and fraud it was can
vassed into and fastened open the House.
O. P. Q. Cushman here started up and called
Mr. Peyton to order! Jlul this interruption was
promptly put down; and the ardent and fearless
orator proceeded. He said ire expected to prove
that there was an arrangement made between
Whitney and certain individuals.
Here again he was interrupted by Mr. Yell,
of Arkansas, who wished to know whether Air.
Peyton alluded to him I!
Mr. Peyton replied, that he had never once
thought of the gentleman; and if ho had not risen
to interrupt, he would not have known ol his be
ing in the House, He hoped ho would now la?
quiet! What could Mr. Yell ho thinking about!
Mr. Peyton continued : There was an ar
rangement by which Whitney was not to be pun
ished—but to hove the celat, the triumph of bring
ing him (Mr. Peyton) and Mr. Wise to this bur.
They never had any design to punish, censure,
or molest in any way, this “accused.” This is
what he wished to prove. For lids, he wished to
examine every gentleman who might know any
thing of the transaction. Mr. Peyton dared them
to let him have an opportunity of getting proof.
Let him have it, and lie would perhaps make
those who now hold themselves so high, and use
so lofty a tone of exultaaon at anticipated tri
umph, stand brfore the house and the country in
the chatacter of accessories and allies of Reuben
H. Whitney. He said he eared not how sevete
was the ordeal to which he was to be sulijecled ;
hut then he demanded that lie also might show by
witnesses how the present course of proceeding
was brought about—lie wished to expose all the
dark and disgraceful circumstances connected
with it. 4
The party did shrink from the inquiry. A
call of the House was demanded for the purpose
douhtbt-s of gelling force enough to vote down
this question. But it was discovered there was
no end a motion to adjourn prevailed.
We will arc whether the patty's manager* wll
dare to let this question be put tomorrow. If they
do not, tlie country will la-lb ve that Iherejbavt
I hern disgraceful e.n-plracy and combination with
Whitney to put down Messrs. Wise and Peyton

To the Editor I
c _ Black Ciikkk, 14ih Feb. 1837.
s Sir—l he steamboat John Stoney arrived at
'• this place ibis morning, in which Lieut. Col.
t Fanning and Capl. I’icrcy, of the V. 8. Navy
i. came passengers. They report that a battle took
d place on the morning of the Bth at Encampment
Monroe, at the head of Lake Monroe. This port
was attacked at fl o'clock in the morning, and a
brisk firing kept up by both parties until 8 o’clock
* when the Indians retired. Col. Fanning was in
command of about 2.30 regulars and Capt. Pier
* ey in command of 311 friendly Indians. Capl,
- Mellon, U. S. Army was killed. J.t. J. T. Me
’ Lauglllin and 14 plivnteM were wounded. The
hoslilcs were estimated at 3 or 400 strong. When
' the Indians retired, the friendly Indians yelled at
t and taunted thorn all they could In make them
renew the attack—hut tint a syllable or gun was
- heard from them. This account, as far as it goes
, you may rely upon. 1 had it from Capl. Picrcy.
* In haste, yours, dee.
e The above intelligence is confirmed by the ar
s rival ut this place on Tuesday night last, of the
steamer Cincinnati, Capt. Curry. Tito attack on
t Fort Mellon (Encampment Monroe's at Lake
t Monroe,) was made, it-is supposed, by Phillip
and his gang, •The battle was furiously contest,
erl. The loss on the side as the hostilcs is not
ktK v.n.
The Santee was lying off on the I,tike not
i far from lltc Fort, in wait for the eml atkalion ol
the Troops to transport them to Volusia, in obe
dience to an order of Gen. Jesup. Lieut. Thom
as left the Post during the engagement, and suc
ceeding in getting on hoard the Santee, played
Upon the hostilcs the six pounder from the boat
with great effect.
This action must have, taken place before the
information of the truce could have been received
by those Indians who made the attack. Infor
mation of it had not been then received by Col.
Fanning.
The forces at Fort Mellon returned to Volusia
on the llth. No Indians having been seen
about the Fort from the Silt up to the I 1 h.
It is the general opinion that the above affair
will not break up the truce now existing nor
have any effect on the course the Indians will
pursue in relation to closing the war by yielding
themselves tip for removal.

IMPORTAN T FROM JAMAICA.
By this opportunity I send you the official con.
respottdence between Lino do Pombo, Minister
ol Foreign Affairs, and M. T. Turner, Minister
of his Britannic Majesty at Bogota. Although
Granadians wish to make it appeal that Mr. Bus- \
sell was in the wrong, yet the plain truth is tilt*. |
j Mr. R. was walking one evening, in the streets of;
Tannins, when lie met with one Juslo Parades, j
with whom he was not on good terms. Justoi
began by insulting him with words, and with the I
intention of after words boating him with a stick.
Russell had a swordcane, and in self-defence inflic
ted a slight wound on Paredes. He was immediate
surrounded by a great number of Paredes' friends
and relations, and after being disarmed, was shame
fully beaten und one Uisz, while the others were
holding him. struck him on tits head with a club,
that nearly killed him. Russell was pul ill a
dungeon, and his horse and papers left to the
mercy of these cowardly rascals. Such is the
account given me by an American gentleman
who was at the time in Panama.
Now it appears that the English Government
insists on satisfaction, and the Granadians refuse
to give any. Orders in consequence were given
by the commander ol 11. .M. Naval forces for a
, general blockade of the |>orl of New Granada.
, Already seven or eight vessels es war arc before
t Sa! >' Martha, Carthagena and Cltagrcs, and one
, sailed this morning for Bio Hacltc. The ports in
. the Pacific 0/ ( also blockaded, ( Guayaquil and
' I'anamaJ
, Orders were sent to all the men of tear on the
. windwardetaUon to t ome down, and the
I ral is t .rpvcted ex'ery viomemt, and 1 can assure
these followers they will find it a had juke to play
with John Dull. Phis is not the first instance
where they have done wrong ; in many other in*
stances they had insulted the French,’American j
and other diplomatic ogrnu.
After giving you no o*agt account of wKrt ;* 1

Mu. Jones :—I have recently seen in some of
’ tho leading Journals of this Slate, the names o*
’ various distinguished citizens proposed as suitable
candidates to ho run by the Republican parly of
Georgia, for Governor, at the approaching elec
tion. The right of the people to canvass the
claims of the rospoelivc aspirants to such a dis.
llnguished station, and to confer their suffrages
upon him whose past course adonis the surest in
dication that ho will preserve the Constitution,
and shield their rights from violation, is as little
to bo questioned, ns its importance to the preser
vation of our liberties is to be doubted. Conced
ing to tho different individuals whose names have
been mentioned, lhat admiration for their talents,
am' respect for their worth, which they bo fully
merit; and without intending to derogate from
either their services or their claims, I beg leave to
suggest, through your valuable paper, to the peo
ple of Georeia, the name of a man, whose devo
tion to her into ristg lias never faltered, and whose
character and past services to tho country arc as.
soc'ialed with unwavering adherence to principle,
and title republican sovereignly. That man is
George jl. Gilmer, of Oglethorpe. His services
I in the Executive Chair of the Wtala, and on tho
| lloor of Congress, .arc fresh in tho recollections of
■ ids fellow citizens- Time has developed the cor
j redness of his views in relation to a subject, up
! on which, when Governor of the State, no selfish
I motive or view to private interest, could induce
1 him to withhold (he conviction of his mind, and
j (o the undisguised expression of \vhich lie fell a

It is hoped llist Georgia will dgain coll into

i all of our population who have witnessed his in

Stale will reward ids merit.
ANTI-FEDERALIST.
Washjxrtox. Feb. 17, 1837.
Case of It. .If. Uhitney. —The question pen
ding when tho House adjourned last evening,
was on allowing Mr. Peyton to propound an in
quiry to the witness, (Mr. Hamer, of Ohio,) re
lative to tho combination and conspiracy which
Mr. P, said he had good reason to bciicve did ex
ist between K. M. Whitney and certain members
of the House. The train-bands mustered lull
and strong lids morning, to prevent this question
from being put. It was too searching. Mr. Pey
ton, with a view ofallbrdiiig no room for cavil or
objection, altered in some measure the form of
tlio interrogatory, and requested tho witness sim
ply to state whether he had heard any member of
tlio House declare that some proceeding should
be adopted in order to bring the occurrences in
lire committee room (which have been so often
referred lo) under the notice of tho House; and
it yea, then to slate whether such an opinion was
expressed by many members of the House; and
whether any member had suggested that the pro
ccodings against Whitney for a contempt would
lie a proper mode of effecting lhat object
This question was manifestly so fair, that not
a man of tho party had the front, at first, to take
exception lo it. It was handed lo the wilnrss.
Ho prepared Ins answer, and returned both to
the Chair. Now began the fluttering among the
| Royalists and just as the clerk was about to j
j read aloud tho answer, one of tlio Regency men \
I screwed up Ids boldness, and objected, on the -
j ground that it implied an imputation on the mo
tives of members.
Mr. Peyton raised a question whether it j
j was in order lo object lo a question after tho ■
| answer to it had been leturned !
The Sja’akcr decided it was in order.
Mr. Peyton then refuted the objections taken
by Mr. Turrill, of New York. He wished to 1
I know whether the real object of gentlemen was ■
j not to eflcct certain members of tho House. He ]
1 believed hs could prove that Whitney, and those'
j connected with him, are practising a gross deccf*
I tion on tins body and the country. He demanded
1 !in opportunity to adduce evidence to establish
; ‘ Ibis fact.
II Such was the force and impressiveness of Mr.
i Peyton's appeal, that the House refused to obey
’, the mandates of tho Regency ; and agreed lhat
; 1 the question should lie put, by a vote of 89 to 85.
1 Well done for once !
Mr. Hamer’s answer was most important. He
j had heard some members say tha' tile proceedings
i in the committee room, which had been referred
j to, ought to be brought under tho notice of the
. | House.
~ Mr. Wise (hen put a question in order to elicit
. i the tact, lhat the object of the present course of
, proceeding was to affect him and Mr. Peyton, and
| requested Mr. Hamer to state all the circumstances
, and objects connected with the conversations,
f I meetings, and remarks of members and Reuben
. j M. Whitney lhat go to show such was the ob
. 1 j pct - .
, j This question was objected to.
1 1 Mr. Wish referred to the remarks of Mr. Pcy
’ : lon yesterday, and said they expressed Ins reasons
. I for wishing lo put thisquestion. He was on trial
he said, and not Rculicn Whitney ! The issue
had been made by lie House, whether he was
such a character that a peaceful man dared not
appear before him. He had not the remotest
doubt of the contrivance by which the present
course of proceeding was brought about—ami
lie proposed lids as ai inducing question to bring
before, the House the country the truth. But
Im meant to go father, and show whether the
Executive Power fras not to be brought to bear
against two humhWrnembers of that House. He
denounced the coifluct of the parties who had
clustered around A'hitm-y, under the pretence of
sheltering him frqfh injustice. While they thrust
themselves forwird as the champions of justice,
they are openly *id flagrantly violating every prin
ciple of law asd right, and trying him without
notice—wilhautaecusatinn --without arraignment
—without even asking him whether he is guilty
or not guilty. Ho demanded an opportunity lo
unmask his accusers.
TUsquestion was rejected! Ayes 73, nocs9s.
File young Virginian then put another query,
framed with exceeding precision and pertinency,
to ascirtain if the witness knew whether the Phe
sinr.nr had not advised and recommended the
prcseiit course of proceeding, and whether lhat
functionary did not directly or indirectly assign
as a season for it, that this would try tho conduct
of Messrs, Wise ami Peyton in the committee
room, urging lhat it was necessary to condemn
. that conduct.
Mr. Vanderpool, of Kindcrhook, objected to
this iaqniry. The President, he said, was not at
the bar; and ho did not sec what light this ques
tion would throw on tho point at is«ue.
Mr. Wise met this objection with great force
and directness, and made a moat vigorous and
effcclivc speech in reply. “I know Bir,” said he,
“that ihc President is not at the bar—neither am
1!-—yet I am on trial as much, and for a more
heinous offence, than this pretended accused. I
am to he tried for the most atrocious and detesta
ble designs—and all I ar-k is to let me know my
accuser! I caee for him—be he, high or low
base or honored the loo! and minion of power
—or Ihc Ttbawt himseil! Is this a land of civil
liberty ’—and do you seek to try a man without
allowing him tho poor privilege of confronting
his accuser V’
“ I am told tlio President is not on his trial.
No Sir! But let me ascertain whether he has
put tis on our trial. Has he called certain gen
tlemen to his palace, and there by appeals to their
sympathies and complaints of injuries and perse
cution wrought upon their feelings—and then
pointed to two troublesome fellows in the Xiaastt.

-.1-: ill *-'* • irtned off. “Yes Sir,” rx
'V 'muiu .ui. Wise, “that is the word”—“killed
off!”—“ Let thorn ho indirectly tried and con
demned as assassins !”—was the command.
The ardent young orator here seemed strug
gling to express tlio emotions that filled his breast.
He could not speak as he felt. His form assumed
its perfect height—his expressive features were
animated by the hold and indignant spirit within
—liis eye glanced scornfully towards tlio mana
gers in ‘.his prosecution—and in tones of energy
and defiance that pierced every nerve of every
ear, ho exclaimed—
“ I stand here alone I—and I wish to know
how many base-horn tools of power tho Tyrant
has in this House lo do his bidding—Lot the serfs
of this Turkish Despotism stand out and show
themselves!”
This ques ion shared the file of Ihc preceding.
It was rejected of course.
Mr. Peyton then put a question, in order to eli
cit the truth us to members of Congress counsel
ling Whitney respecting the course he should
puisne in the Committee and in tlio House ; and
also as to their expressing tho wish that lie would
refuse to appearand testify.
This question was rejected also.
Mr. Peyton put another query for tho purpose
of ascertaining whether certain members had not
declared that they would vote for the present pro
ceeding, for the reason lhat tho conduct and de
clarations of Messrs. Wise and Peyton would lie
brought under tho review of tho House, and that
these gentlemen would be thereby disgraced.
This was objected to likewise.
Mr. Peyton, in maintaining the relavancy and
importance of the question, said, ho only wished
lo silence tho member or members who had al
ready made declarations of this kind ngainst him,
and prevent those from silting in judgment on
him, who bad thus disqualified and disgraced
themselves. Tho question was rejected.
I trust your readers will ponder well on those
questions which were thus summarily thrown out
by an organized and disciplined majority. These
are refusals pregnant.
Tire next query brought something more satis
factory still. Mr. Hamer was asked when he had
first seen the written testimony of Mr. Fairfield.
He answered that lie had seen it several days be
fore he was examined in the House !
So ; —tho matter was all arranged before hand.
The suggesting of questions was continued for
some lima by other gentlemen; but they were not
permitted to be put.
The Counsel for the accused then put a few
questions, and they wore fidlowed by Mr. Wise.
The testimony of Mr. Hamer corroborates the
statements made by Messrs. Wise and Peyton in
the House, as to the provocation given by Whit
ney, and the entirely pacific interposition of Mr.
Wise.
Mr. Martin and Mr. Gillet wore then railed up
on successively, to give in their written answers
to (lie questions put by Ihc Counsel of the accu
sed to tlio other witnesses. But owing to the
lateness of tho hour of adjournment, I must defer
any notice of their testimony till my next.
[From ibe Savannah Georgian, Feb. 83.]
FROM FLORIDA.
We have been favored with the following ex
tract of a letter, received by yesterday’s mail, and
dated Black Creek, Feb. 15th, 1837.
“ I have hut a few hours since had the pleasure
of conversing with Faddy Carr, the Chief of the
friendly Creeks, who assured me that nothing
could he more certain than a speedy termination
ofthc dilficultics originating out of the hostilities
of the Scniinoles. as no doubt could be entertained
(hat they are already handsomely beaten, and arc
willing to sign a treaty which will he lasting.
They had a battle on the Blh hist, at Lake Mon
roe, where no doubt there must have been a vast
number killed, as the friendly Indians under the
guide of their indefatigable aud heroic Chief, dis
covered in the sand the trail where they had
drawn 73 dead from the battle ground, ami it is
the belief of all who were in Ihc skirmish, that
the number of wounded must be great.”
Later From Texas—By the New Orleans
Bulletin of Monday we loam that dates to the
10th instant from Columbia had boon received
theic.whicli bring little news of importance, except
tile resignation of Gen. Rusk, of the Stats Secret
ary ship. (Isa. J. P. Henderson had lieen appoin
ted in his place. The ill health of Gen. Rusk is
said to have rendered this step neccssaty on his
part. Col. Peter W. Grayson lias been appoin
ted Attorney General.
In reference to the Mexican forces and the
prospect of another campaign in Texas, we make
tho following extract from the Texas Tele
graph. '
Wc leant from a gentleman who liasjust arriv
ed from Bexar, than Mr- Navatrn hail reached
■ that place a few days before he left. Mr. Navarro
I is represented as being decidedly fiiendly to our
i cause, and one whose statements are entitled to
credit. He stales that the Mexican forces destined
• for Texas, consisted of one thousand troops at
' Monterey; two thousand at Saltillo; two thousand
t at Matamoras; and about one hundred at Laredo;
• —that they are in a state of insubordination, bad
ly clothed and worse led, many of whom are in
■ irons, and the remainder say they will stay there
• and fight the Texians if they invade Mexico; but
I that they will not nor connot be forced into Texas.
■ He further stales lhat Bravo had reached Salliilo
to take the command, but finding the army in
i such a disorganized condition, and no money pro
f vided for their pay, he had returned to Mexico in
1 disgust. Mr. Ncvarro thinks there is no danger
i of an invasion this year.

The Trial of Dr. Williams, Oculist, has term’r
nalcd. The worthy faculty went out for wool, hut
came home shorn. They commenced prosccu
tions against Dr. Williams, which ended in the
'• death of the pretended society which constituted
I them. Dr. VV. was acquitted of all the charges
! alleged against him. bo has this matter ended.
1 It appears to be the opinion of an independent
! American Jury, that the people nan take care of
their own health and 6f their own pockets; and
that, even if they cannot, they at least, are of opi
nion, that the learned medical fraternity, already
' sufficiently overburdened by the vast weight of
■ thcir.own science and multiplied duties, shall not
■ have the additional load imposed upon them of
taking care of the health and the money of the
1 community.

THE PEDLAR AND THE QUAKER. !
1 'Cuming jajjjf sqin $ account 1 - J
Wc were somewhat ammseTmo other day ]
at the moans employed by a Jittlo Connect!- (
cut pcdler, to get a bag of corn into his pos
session, without paying the cash therefor.—
‘ Dreadful crilturs to barter and swop—those
pedlers !’ said an old gentleman who witness
ed the operation. Sharp or Grindstone Sharp
as the podler is called, drove into the v.l age
in one of those little parti-colored wagons, so
. common to the tribe, and announced that ho
had furgotlcn to take his pocket book with
him. ‘1 must have some corn, and as I have
none of tho riiino, I must have a swap one
’ way or 'tothcr with some of my nicilics—
I for I must not go home without a bag of corn
i —I say, mister, what do you ax for Hint corn
’ in your wagon !’ The person addressed was
a quiet quakcr, who was going to mill, and
• who had brought his horse up one side of the
bridge to let tho pedler pass by without cap
' sizing his wagon. ‘ I say, misteh, what do you
' ax for a bag of that corn V repeated the sailer
of notions. ‘Friend, will thee please to pass
on V quoth the qnaker, without replying to
the interrogatory— ‘ First tell me what you ax
for a bag of your corn]’— ‘ Nine shillings a
, bushel.’—‘Ah, I know’d you’d answer the
t question—Well’sposo you ain’t no way par
ticular ahou!—n—a—the ready money]’— ‘ I
don’t know thee, friend—thee may be a rogue.’
3 —‘Oh ns to that, every body hereabouts knows
t Sharp, Grindstone Sharp. Yer see, mister,
I’m a leetle hard on’t for change, just now—.
and I have a nicety of articles hero, and if
| wo could just swap, you know, and you’d
1 take articles in my way.’—Why, friend Grind
- stone, if the articles he in thy way, I’m afraid
, they’d he in my way too.’— ‘ Oh no—just
i look hero !'—As the qunker’s eye rested on
1 lots of essences, buttons, razors, cabbage leaf
cigars, pewter watches, &c., which the ac
> commoilating pcdler exposed to Ins view, ho
t made a motion to drive on. ‘So you won’t
! trade no how, mister]’ said the podler.—
‘ Come, you look ton good na I tired to go off
■ in that fashion—l took you for one, who
• cared about some oilier tiling than mere filthy
• lucre.’— ‘ Why I tell thee what, friend, Ido
not want thy essences, but to show thee I do
not seek thy money, 1 tell thee what I’il do,
’ Thee may have a bag of corn for any thing in
t thy cart which 1 can turn to the same account
—is thee satisfied V ‘A bargain! a bargain !
, hear that, gentlemen ! exclaimed the pedler
to a couple of fellows who came up ami were
J watching the progress of the trade.— ‘ He
, agrees to take any thing in ray cart which he
. can turn to the same account with his corn—
. mark that]’ The pedler apparently consi
dered the bargain at an end’ Jfor he jumped
. from his cart, took a bag of corn which the
s qnaker not without sonic reluctance, handed
• him, and emptied into his box. Having lock
-1 ed it up, and pocketed tho key, he proceeded
r to fumble among his ‘ notions’ in Iho body
of Ins wagon. ‘Something lhat he can turn
to the same account with the corn !' he mum
hied lo himself-—and his corn going to mill—
oli, I have it]’ Ho finally tools out half a
' dozen pen knives, marked at twenty-five cents 1
a piece, and giving a wink or two to the spec
tators, tossed them to the qunker and was
about whipping his horse to be off. ‘ Good
day, mister fanner?’— ‘ Slop, friend, thee must
keep thy word with me.’— * Well, liavn’t. I ?
— 1 Nay, 1 can't surely turn these pen knives
to the same account as I could ray corn.'—
In faith you can.’ ‘ How dost then mean,
friend ?' —‘ Why look you here !’ said the ped
lor—‘ what was you going to do with Ihe corn ?’
—‘ Why to grind it, tirco may he sure !’—
‘Well, so was I going lo grind the knives,
thee may he sure — aim lhat turning them to
the same account with the corn — good day
mister Farmer.’ The pedler was off. ‘ The
d i grind thee. Grindstone, though really
thou art sharper than tiiy knives, —said the
honest qnaker, ns he trudged on with his six
pen knives and the rcsidutn of his corn to
have them all ground together.
