same remarks, and reply in the same words to the same questions. They are about 21 years of age, and so much alike, that it is difficult to distinguish one from the other. When one is sick the other is-what one dislikes the other dislikes what pleases one, pleases the other —an injury done to one is received in the same way by the other. Each has had three teeth extracted for the tooth-ache, and all the same teeth. Each has now one decayed tooth, and it is the same with each. The parents had six children at three births; one died in infancy, and its twin is now living, a dwarf, at 30 years of age.

Specimen of Western Rhetoric.Every now and then we meet in the western papers with an address from some illiterate. would-be statesman, offering himself to the people as a candidate for office. Sometimes the candidate is accused of having his address written for him; but in this instance, we are confident no such suspicion will be entertained, for it beats all hollow any thing of the kind we ever came across we will not except the "unimaginable speech of Mr. Channing in the Connecticut legislature, or the sublime and beautiful performance of 'squire M Bane of Indiana, published a few days since. The following is copied from the Kentucky Luminary. N.Y. Ev. Post. "Permit me, fellow citizens of Madison county, to thank you for the honour you have bestowed upon me formerly, and at the same time to let you know that my principle and sentiment upon our government are as they then were; of which you were then acquainted. Therefore (big fool as I am) it emboldens me to say, that if you will make me your senator, at our next election, I will represent you or resign; for was you to elect me, it would become my duty to ascertain, and your duty to give me all matter you will'd me to do, and whatever matter I obtained from you, if I did not

do it, when in my power, surely I would not represent you, for we all know that the people have the power of governing by their representatives; therefore the people are the sovereign, and the representative the serving man, and in my view ought to be as desirous to know and to do his constituents' will, as to be elected; for a majority ought to rule. For how heavenly our constitution doth "declare that all power is inherent in the people, and all free governments are founded on their authority, and instituted for their safety and happiness; for the advancement of these ends, they have at all times an unalienable and indefeasible right to alter, reform, or abolish their government in such a manner as they may think proper." And may the people for ever exercise their authority, and never lose one jot of their power of governing, is the sincere prayer of Your friend and very humble servant,

DANIEL MILLER."
