FREE SOIL MASS MEETING
On-Saturday a "froo soil" mass meeting came off at
the Court House in this city. It was attended by a re
i'peetable number of all parties who were attracted by the
novelty of the movement, and tho fact that Hon. J. R.-
Giddings, of Ohio, was announced to address the meet-
Tina latter attraction was undoubtedly a huntbmg,
s narl's announcement put forth for the solo liurposo of
attracting a crowd, as no Giddings appeared. This we
should say was a pretty fair- commencement in deception
for a party that claims so very much honesty. His place,
however, was very well supplied in the person of a Mr.
Preston, from Ohio, who has been perambulating the
country for somo time, as a lecturer on any and every
thing. particularly whigery and "free soil." To say that
he did not speak well, would not be true. His language
Ra s good, his delivery easy and graceful, and if he lack
ed eloquence, he made up for it in the earnest and forci
ble manner in which ho throw his shafts right and left—
first at Germ. Cass and the Democracy, and then 'at the
.availablo" candidate and his friends. Ile reviewed
Gen. Cass' famed Nicholson letter, and was forced to
ackuoAtigo that the General in that document occcpied
a legal ground, the effect of which would bo the pro
hibition of slavery in the Territories, but contended that
Free Sofirrmou were not willing to wait the slow pace of
constitutional prohibition—they must have a declaratory
stature, a kind of "guide board" put up to warn the
world that the magna charter of out liberties, the consti
tution, prohibited slavery in the territories. This, then, is
all this new party is contending for. Although what they
ask will not make the conrtitution ono iota stronger on
this point, and only servo to create'excitement and sec
tional jealon,y, to gratify an old woman propensity, and
have the last word, they aro raising all this tempest in a
lea-pot, and making themselves the laughing stock of
the country. Well, every one to his notion, but it ap
pears to mil that, as Greeley said of Taylor-whigery, it
won't beg,iii to pay expenses.
After our "free-soil" apostle had preaChed Gen. Cass
and the Democracy into "eternal night," ho turned his
batteries upon Gen. Taylor and the late whig party, and
if we were consigned to the lowest depths of political
damnation; our "avdilability" opponents wero pitched
to ay et lower- t llo commenced with the first demon
!Minot' of Taylori.in in the country, and traced its
COUTre, up to the capitulation. without terms, of tho whig
party Si the "National slaughter-house" in Philadelphia,
nth eoimtentlol that, as the only resolution passed there
was one to adjourn, themmuniversal whig party" then and
there did million', and therefore the members of it were
no longer bound to abide by the nomination of Taylor.—
In regard to the claim set np by the whigs that General
Taylor is in favor of the Wilmot Proviso, ho completely
demonstrated that such claim was fallacious, and could
neither be sustained by evidence or reason. no com
mented upon his voluminous correspondence, and partic
ularly upon his letter to the Calhoun mon of South Car
olina accepting their nominntion on the ticket with Gem
ButferLouid showed, we thought, conclusively that in ac
cepting such nomination lie had left the whig party,
_ay a party, without a candidate. But our limits will not
allow us to follow him through his various showings up
of the deplorable state the nomination of Taylor has left
the whig party. In closing he took occasion to cane
down upon our particular friend, Walker, in such a man
novas drew from the crowd repeated shouts of applause
and satisfaction. On the whole we think tho Democracy
(lid not stiffer much in this affair.
The following is the ticket nominated, viz: William
Beatty, of Erie, and Job Stafford, of M'Kean, for As-
AtITOII. Kellogg, of North East, for ProthonOtary:
Ira Sherwin, of Ilarborcreek, for Register and Record-
Pr: Henry Cadtvell, of Erie, for Treasurer; James M.
Moorhead, of Ilarborereek. for Commissioner; E. Per
t kine, of Wayne, Auditor, and Beebe, of Concord,
Director of the Poor.
110 T, HOTTER. HOTTEST.—The political thermometer
is up to boiling heat. The different aspirants and expect
ant+ fur "county pap," have been running their legs off
in (hurling up their friends for the grand scrabble to-mor-1
row. That there will be a "good time" then there can't)
Im a doubt. Let who wins, however, we shall be satisfied.
les a glorious thing to be in the minority, one can look
on with to much complacency and see the "bear fight.'
f'ra'y HELP IT.—The Toledo Mode does n't like au
article in the Observer, some time since, with the "sig.,
nificant caption" of "Can there be a party without a
Cudidate ?"- There is no accounting for tastes, hence
the marked dilTerence in this particular between us and
hint of the Blade, He says wo " might find it much
more profitable at this time, to enquire and solve - the'
~ ,pallor'" " whether there can be a party with a candi- 1
due,' and adds, " there is such a thing as insulting the
good sense of an entire people, by otTering thorn a ba
man for their suffrageg," and intimates that Con. Cos
is sucke, man. Whether the Editor of the Blfide moan
that Gin. Cass is a bad man morally, or has reterelac
to his politics, wo do not know, but have the charity t
believe the latter. Wo Bever heard the other seriousl)
charged against him. As to his political principles, w
cruttllinrn of the Blade that tho Democracy of the na,
lion, save and except a few, it rery few sore-heads, wh
are ready'to fall into the embrace of whigery, aro entire,
Ifeathfied, and will elect him President on the 7th or
November by en .ovetwholming majority. That the
Blade does not like this plain fact we do not wonder at—
that it does not like another equally plain fact, that its own
party is without a candidate, Gen. Taylor having declar
ed tho whig nomination, that ho is nov a
tarty Candidate, is also not to be wonderer' at. But we
can neither help the one nor the other—the people will
ndl support democratic men and measures, and General
Taylor will continuo to write letters. 1,
Hosonsins. SENTIME3TB.--The Editor of the Sandus
ky Mirror, although a 'when' Van Buren man,- has not
yet'sunk as low as some of his kidney. In speaking of
letter from Gen. Cass to R. S. Wilson, of Anu Arbor.
Michigan, which the latter has - made public, although
marked priratc and confidential, he says; ”The Detroit
Advertiser says 'the community owo Mr. Wiktin a debt
of gratitude fur making this letter public.' We cannot
ma regard it. Wo do not appreciate that morality which
commends the violation of tho confidence of a- former
friend. It is hard to ,imagine circumstances that will
Warrant the publication of a private letter to the injury•
of the author." Such sentiments do honor alike to "the
ht and heart of the Editor of the Mirror.

'MRS. JONES' VOW,
AN OLD STORY IN A NEW DRESS
BY A LADY
Fr m tke Louisville Courier
Mrs. Philip Jones was one of the prettiest wo
men in the little town whore she lived; beauty was
not however, the only attraction she possessed, she
was sensible, and prudent, amiable and industrious,
and Mrs. Jones loved her husband, she loved him fur
several reasons. in the first plac.2 he loved ; her, in
; the second place ho was good and honest, and in
the third place be was sober, and when he joined
the sons of temperance she loved him, if lapsible,
more than ever. In fact, Mrs. Jones was opposed
to every man who was in the habit of indulging in
spirituous liquors. And what women of sense, would
not be?
It was a merry christtims evening that a party of
'villagers, mostly ladies, were assembled around the
'snug fireplace in the comfortable parlor of Mr. and
Mrs. Jones. They were notes night be expected
talking scandal; but were - discussing. the subject of
intemperance.
'Mrs. Gray,' said Mrs. Jones, addressing the young
est of the group, 'what would you do if your hue : -
band were to get absolutely drunk?'
' dear,' replied Mrs. Gray, rolling tip her bright
eyes in horror—go •not speak of such a - thing--I
should faint!'
'Faint indeed!' taid pretty• Mrs. Allen—'l would
do like the woman in the east—tie him in a bag, and .
whip'him until he was sober.'
would not whip him,' said prim Mrs. Mansfield,
.hrt I would lock him up, and feed him on cold wa
ter and stale bread, until he came lo his senses.'
'lf my husband were to become inebriated,' chimed
the fastidious Mrs. Millbanks, 'he would not hear
the sound of my voice until he longed for it like the
birds do for spring.
'Well. if my old man should get drunk,' Baia old
Mrs. Martin, 'I believe I'd got drunk too, just to let
him see how disgusting it was.'
'lf John should come home drunk,' said Mrs.
Jenkins, the plainest of the party, would tuck
him comfortably in bed, and try to keep it a secret
from the world.
. 'Oh Mrs. Jenkins!' exclaimed Mrs. Jones, who
had not spoken before, 'how could you use'such de
ception r'
'Deception! You would not call that deception•
Think, Mrs. Jones, for the sake of my children.'
. 'Children or no children, if- I were to.„see Mr.
Jones drunk, I would not live with him another min=
ute.'
I 'Why, Jane!'said her husband, 'I am astonish
ed.'
Wel', you need not be, for if you were to—,
'You never had the trial yet,' interrupted Mrs.
Jenkins, 'so don't make any such rash vows.'
'Such a vow as that would not be rash, and,' she
continued, the blood mounting to her fair cheek; 'if
Mr. Jones ever does get•drunk, I yowl will notlive,
with him another day.'
'You only talk that way,' said old Mrs. Martin,
'because you know there is no danger of being tried,
for Philip Jones is noted for sobriety.'
'lf ever such thing should happen, you willsee,'
said Mrs Jones, stotitly.
Not long after the hdppy Circle disbanded, and a
week from that night we will look again into the
same apartment.'
Mrs. Jones is seated by the remains of a fire.—
She has put all the Children, to bed, in her warm
chamber, up stairs, and she is waiting below for the
well known, loved tread of her husband. Hour af
ter hour passed, and still he did not come. 'What
•can fie mean,, thought Mrs. Jones—'l never knew
Philip to stay out so Another half hour pass
ed, and she walked, for the twentieth time, with a
troubled step to the window. Just then 'her husband
appeared at the little gate and entered the yard; but
why did Airs. Jones start? It was not the regular,
manly tread of Mr. Jones that met her view, for the
moon shone full and bright, and she could see him
distinctly. He was actually staggering! With a
trembling hand Mrs. Jones flew to open the front
door to admit him. must be sick,' she thought.
The fumes of whiskey that met the olfactory of the
lady, made Her stand aghast as her husband enter
ed.. Ile did not seem to notice her agitation, but
walked into the parlor as 'headily as he could, under
the circumstances.
'Why Jenny,' he hiccupped, 'is this you? Why
flint you in bed, illy lovey?'
Mrs. Jones trembled in every limb, 'and was as
pale as he.
'You're not sick nor nothing, Jenny, are you, be

will do (hiccup) you some good,' and he fumbled
about awkwardly, until he dreti , from hiccoat pock

'Oh my gracious!' cried Mfg.. Jones; sinking on
a chair and clasping her hands, while tear after
tear coursed itself down her face, 'and is it come to
this?'

''l tell you to hush,' said Mrs: Jones, 'and do go up

Mrs. Jones could not say 'drunk,' the word stuck in
her throat.

'Damn the bed! Jenny' .

Again she was thlinder struck, but recovering her
self possession by 'dint of coaxing and scolding she
at last succeeded in getting Mr. Jones up stairs and

shall I do?' she co tinued aloud. 'Must I leave
him?' .At that moment her eyes rested on the faces
of her sleeping children and'she exclaimed—'No, I
cannot leave him, eg Mrs, Jenkins say's, for the sake
of the children. ' Yes, she was right, for their sakes
I'll stay; if I only knew if any body saw him. Oh,

of countenance at lis distressed wife. Mrs. Joliet;
looked at him again; there was no dullness in his
clear eye; and he still gazed upon her with mischiev

longer, he sprang fr-et the bed, and fell on a chair
almost convulsed w i th laughter. Mrs. Jones stood
by in silent astonishment, and when his mirth had
iu some degree subided, he said
'Mrs. Jones Jones al° yu the woman who vowed, just

All is happiness. The jeweled hand; the filleted
brow, the unexceptionable tournure of the high.
born beauty; the stied:ling wit of the orator; the
wi4om of the philosopher; the morality, suited to
the time, of the divine; the wealth of the banker:
the exquisite nothing of the minion of fashion;—
all, all are here with their dazzling display, to give
the canting hypocrite, who - talks to us of the deso
late and dying, the, lie. Let us laugh and be hap
py. "On with the dance!"
Round and routed in the voluptuous waltz glides
one of the fairest Of God's creatures, clasped by the
arms and itching angers of the roue—his hot breath
(better the breath of the lazar-house) upon her
cheek. Mothers are nodding aprroval; states-men
are phoning dark l i schemes among themselves in a
corner. in another a suitor is pouring ' his danger

whose husband is!perhaps upon a similar duty in

what of that? "On with the dance!"
The scheiningsl of ambition; the dark glance of
envy; the downctist eye of beauty, listening to a tale
of love; the flashing hate of rival lovers; the peal

sickening attempts at gayety •of the host, who
knows that sin is i upon him. The fate of Niobe to

spare him shame,, guilt, despair, suicide! Ha! Ha!
A rare tableau! 1
Wildly sweep. the fierce blast through the silent
streets, reveling ha its desolation—shrieking through
the night with a chorus of laughing fiends, keeping
their Wolpengis festival—blinding the way
farer, who yet nears up resolutely. It disputes
fiercely with him, step by step, his onward way .
" Stand!" A fivre wild and wan—half clothed--
bare-headed—the personification of misery and des

the traveler's 1 eart, terribly distinct—is Mercy!

cold and hunger.' Ha! Ha! "On with lt he dance:"
A rare tableau.
A narrow, aim st unfurnished room, in a mean
house, ina mean r alley; a straw pallet in the . cor

features sharp and pinched with cold and hunger;
her lips move. convulsively, but no sound. Hark!
her failing senses can yet. distinguish• through the
pauses of the germ, the rich man's revelry. A
wretched, weak, pining infant lies asleep, his head
pillowed on her heart—the living on the dying, its
flesh livid with cbld, the bones almost protruding
from the skin; yet there is life within it, and it
sleeps—the boon alike of all, The. storm howls
louder and louder through' the open crevices; it
comes full upon the scant clothed beings of want,
but the child sleeps on; thirlips of the mother still
twitch in her dyirig agony. "On with.thellancer
There is no misery!,- The door opens, a man springs
to the side of the dying woman; the wayfarer is also
there; the eyes of the wife open feebly, and slowly
close again as ifiuntvilling to shut out forever the
welcome 'bight of the loved one--a faint struggle.—
The man gazes vacantly into the face of the stran

GHN. CASS AND HIS SIANDRREftS.--.TIIO S
Reveille has the follo‘ting admirable article
number:
oi Cass, a Statesman and Soldier, who ha, reflec
ted honor upon the Republic, comes in for h s share
,of party detraction; and we see him abused ecause
he has been thought worthy of public con dance,
and been entrusted with office: because he h s been
paid for his services; because ho
,has, grow FAT!
which even in suspicious Caesar's eyes wou d have
been a recommendation; because he signed law in
Michigan to punish rogues; because he pposed
British influence in Europe, .and with dip omatic
cunning, the more effectbally to do so, that red the"
reigning monarch of France. But, the wor t char
ge made againq him, is a deliberate and vi lainous
fraud in land' speculation—cheating those with
whom lie was connected in the purchase of govern
ment lands. This charge is now entirely over
thrown by the agent of the company, who comes
out, over his own signature, and declares the whole
a vile falsehood :— that Gen ; Cass never had any of
the funds in his own hands—that he, the agent, dis
bureed the Money, and that Gen. Cass, together
with every member of the company, including,
among others, Denial Webster, lost about one half
of the amount they, invested. bass was in France
during the Whole period of the operation. The cir
culator of this malicious lie was ono F. O.J. Smith,
one of the parties engaged with Morse and Kendall
in the Telegraph. business, and the man , who pub
lished so many falsehoods about O'Reilly,. in order
'to break his contract. It is. a sad thing for the
people of the. United States that such men have the
management °flty portion of that. great medium
of intelligence,and it is no wonder that; under their
management, wherever they have had control, it has
been prostituted to private purposes at the expense
of the public." l • li
. - SINGULAR CASE AT WA LTIIA,iIt MASS.—There
has been and is now considerable excitement in Wal
tham, occasioned by the following facts:—A young
lady in that town was taken sick recently, and
during her' illneas dreamed, three nights in suc
cession; that she should go into a tracei, and that
her friends, thinking her dead, would undertake.to
bury her body, but that, as it was being placed in
the tomb, symptoms of returning life , would
induce them to desist, and that she would final
ly be restored. Last Monday morning. about
4 o'clock, she ceased to breath:—since which lime'
none of the appearance usualy seen upon fir dead
have occured. The limbs are not rigid, tint as-pli
able as in life. no sign of mortfication has a spear
ed, and the fle sh has not that cold and hard eeling
that follows denth. The attending physici:n has
pronounced her dead; but the faMily-resolv:d upon
not burying until decay commences. A onsul
tation of physiCians was to be held to-day, -
tempts made td restore life.—Chclean t Pion
