HOW TO PRESERVE.THE VnU;n r OF
The Knickerbocker, for December, a
capital number, by the, way, has, the
following capital Election story :
PRESERVING VIZ PURITY OF ELECTIONS.
"In the northwest ; portion of, the
State ! of Ohio, in the county of Au
glaize, there is a township, the citizens
of which ate principally Gerrhan, and
notwithstanding their ' sweet accent,'
they are all democrats of the regular
unterrified' stripe. -From the time
of the erection of the county up to the
-year eighteen hundred and fifty-two,
there had never been a whig vote cast
in the township spoken of, although
there were over six hundred voters ;
but at the fall election of that year,
upon counting the ballots,- it appeared
that there was one whig amongst them.
There was the proof, a regular straight
out whig ticket, and . they dare not . pass
it by. This caused great commotion;
their escutcheon was dimmed; there
was a aohig amongst them ; that blot
must be wiped out, and with their cour
age (Dutch of course) up to fever heat'
• in the shade, they want to work slyly
to find the man who had dared to vote
the' Vig Dicke ;' buttheirlabors were
u nsuccessful. In the meantime anoth
er year rolled round, and the geed
beeples' N y-cre again assembled at the
election precinct. It had not been
forgotten, however, that at the last
election come one had voted the ' Vig
Dicket ;' and it was now the subject
of open remark and Wonder.
"While they were having an out
door discussion of the subject, Sam
Starrett, slate emigrant from the east
ern shore of Maryland, came alimg,
and demanded the cause of the com
motion. •
- $2.00
"'Veil, ye vas a vondering who'it
vas voted the Vig dicket at de last
election,' said an old Dutchman. •
-
"'lt was me,' Sam said, and it wan't
no body else 1'
"'I disks not,' said the old Dutch
man, and the balance shook their heads
incredulously.
"'I tell you it was though,' laid Sam,
pulling out a whig ticket, and may I
be chawed up if I aint going to do it
again. lam going to vote that, (hold
ing out the ticket,) and vote it 'open,
too. let you know that I'm an In
dependent American Citizen, and I'll
vote just as - 1 please, and you .can't
help it, by Jemima
•" So in he went to deposit "his bal
lot. There, sat the three old Dutch
judges of election, calm as a summer
morning ;' and true to his Word, Sam
handed over his ticket, open. One of
the old judges took it, • and scanning it
a few seconds, handing it back toward
the - independent voter and said :
dat ish a Vig dicket,'
't 'Well, put it in the box,' said Sam.
• 'Vat you say 1' said the old Dutch
man, his eyes big with surprise ; put
him in de boil'
'4 'Yes-sir-es, put it in the box ! I
sin a goin' to
_vote it !'
"'Oh ! nol nix goot, nix , goot 1 aat
ish a Vig ticket,' said the old_ Dutch
man, shaking his head._
'Well, I reckon I know it's a whig
tittet, i saiclsace, and I want you to
put it in the box,: darnation , quick, too.'
'Nn, no ! dat ish not goot dat. ish

" Sam scratched his head; studied

do it. - • :
"Again Sam made his, appearance
before the judges,' and. tendered his
vote. The same old judge took it, and
looking it over quietly, turned to Sam
and said':. .
" 'Yaw, dat ish goot ; dat ish a
Dimergratic dicket !' and dropped it
into the box.
" It is only further necessary - to say
that Sam went back to the eastern
shore at the expense of the township ;

Col. McCrea, whose escape from.a -
Kansas jail has been a subject of re
cent congratulation among all the friends
of freedom*, is in Detroit, where he has
been telling the story of his wrongs by
invitation of a number of the pronii-
malt citizens of that city.
The Detroit Advertiser says
" Hopeless .of obtaining justice at
the hands of a court which had already
openly defied the layi for the pur
pose of ensuring his conviction, Mr.
McCrea effected his escape, intending
to join his fellow-citizens in Lawience,
to aid them in the struggle which seem
ed impending, and then, at a proper
time, to surrender himself for trial.
But conscious that his safety depended
upon his absence from the territory,
his friends advised him to abandon his
magnanimous intention for the present,
and to claim an asylum where the be
hests of law are paramount to the
ruffianism of the mob, and personal
rights are not adjudicated upon by
drunken bullies.' Ho hari arrived in
Detroit, on his way to seek his scatter
ed family, and at the request of his
friends here, will to-night' give a nai•-
rative of the simple facts which have
led to his bani3hpaent from a once peace
ful home.
"Let it be recollected that the cir
cumstances attending Mr. McCreay
escape, precluded'his providing him
self evim witlinocessaryrairdent. He
was obliged' to rely upon the kinin'etis
of his eou4rymen fir the' means of
travel and subsistence, and suffered the

for aid. He is still but meagerly pro

night will accrue to his benefit. : He

carry the tidings of his mission to the
East, and, there endeavor _, to . , obtain
succor of nen,and arms for the noble
men • whn are, doing the battle of, free

belief that the danger to • the cause is

THE BEGGAR-BOY ANR:3IIB. &MEL
A miserably-clad beggar-boy was
frozen to death on last iWednesday
night, (January s 21) He was found
by a butcher on his way to Market,
early on Tuesday morning, sitting on
the , steps at the entrance of the Cir
cle, a public reservation between "the
Six Buildings" and Georgetown, on
the Pennsylvania Avenue. His little
dog was licking his face and hands,
manifesting the most intense agony
for his dead muster.
The friend who told me this, said
the boy often came to her kitchen
door for alms. She one day asked
him his name and - residence, and of
his parents. 'He promptly told her,
his 'natio and residence, which' was
near the 'Convent Georgetown;
and when she said, " I will grime time
come out' - and iee your _mother," "lie
replied, " You can go, - lady, but you
will never wish to go but i ance.
haVe no father, but John Hengle lives
at my. mother's."- • -
'At'othef tithes; Whin filling his wal
let, my friend sought to know some-
thing of this boy's home, - btit he was
silent usually ; and; frorn•all- she could
gain from him, she inferred that this
home was made wretched: by the cru
elty of John Hengle and his mother's
unkindness ; that this boy was a beg
gar, to 'supply the wants of this tno
ilia - his miserable niirther. •
_ Last Wednesday night was intensely
cold. The stars shone like diamond
Fparks. This poor boy had been ma
king his rounds, and was returning
late at night, followed by his dog,
with an almost . empty - wallet.
As the beggar-b.oy came up the
Avenue, and passed Willard's Hotel
he sawits many guests /happy in the
warmth and comforts of wealth. He
stopped on the pavement, and begged
for money, for he dared not go home
without the means to buy at least a
pint of whisky, and he had only one
cent in his pocket. But it was freez
ing cold, and those alighting from car
riages hurried into the hotel, and
those coining taut could not be induce,'
. to unbutton their coats to get to their
pockets; and so the poor boy utterly
failed of success.
Sheltered by the Treasury, he ran
along; shivering; with Carlo, who, im
patient of delay, was always running
ahead ; but When the boy came round
the corner of the Preaident's square,
he crossetl . the Avenue. and; looking
up at:the wiridovis of the wealthy, 'he
said,' " O how cold it is 1 I have noth
ing in my packet, nothing ii'my bag,
and John Hengle will say I have spent
all I have begged to day, and will kick
me Out doors. 0, if I hid been.

The little boy hastened :onward.

the north side of the Street, until, gap
ing under the protection afforded 'by 4
the " Six Buildings," he becanitxex;
, • ..
posed to the sweepi n g Wind, p outin g
down from the heights of Georgetoers, -
and Kalorama. Benurnbed and be

The Guardian Angel wmspered hire:

To all these monitions and proMptingi, t
the boy murmured his eveningprayeri
"howl lay me .... down fo .... sleep, ' -
I pray the Lord ....My soul . ... to keep . ; '
And ifl die ....before I vrakey k . •
I pray the Lord .... my soul to take." .-- -
The Angel could do no more. ills
influences failed to move the ackul of
the boy. With earnest scrutiny, 'he
lookid in upon tho boy, whose thoughts
(like figures thrown upon a screen)
passed under the inspection - of`the
Angel. Already was the bey steicink
the sunny days of his childhood—birds
were singing in the trees; and butter
flies of inconceivable beauty were
, fluttering about ft-rim flower to flower ;
for he was in a beautiful garden, and
music filled , the air. The Angel well'
knew his boy's hour had - come, bti..
'there ivas no muinitir in his seriph •

Miseries of his charge with the intense .
