TO THE POiXSi
Remember, that Tuesday next, the 13th,
is the day of trial then comes the tug of
war -the battle is to be then, lost or won.
Although the democracy of iho county are
a lrrge majoriry, yet if wo al5uw ourselveu
to be divided by the whigs, or whnt is still
worse, by third candidates of our own par
ty, we may be defeated, yes, shamefully
defeated. Letevoiy democrat be at lhe
polls, and cast his vote for lhe regular nom
inated county ticket, and nil will be well.
Sfssa-soEEEBaH
If any democrat wishes to see a whig
sheriff elected, let him vole against
JOHN FRUIT
the regular nominated candidate. But if he
wants to see a democrat elected VOTE
FOR HIM. .
Treasurer.
- There are three candidates for Treasurer,
LEONARD B. RUPERT the regular
nominated democratic candidate, John C.
Grier.the whig candidate.and John Rhodes,
the federal, whig, deiuocratic.disorganizing
volunteer candidate. Democrats choose ye
between them.
Democrals turn out on Tuesday next.
Let no man stay away from the polls. Go
yourselves and urge your neighbors.
Your own vote may change the election.
Coma one come all.
A Young Loco Foco." Pa," said a
little white haird urchin as he was eyeing
some bank notes his father was counting,
" why do they put the picture of farmers,
mechanics, and woikingmen on bank
bills ?"
I don't know, my son."
" Well, I do, pa; I've just found out. It
is because they have to suffer tnoro than
other people when the bank fails 1"
MAINR ELECTION.
The Bay State Democrat of Tuesday
evening repeats lhe opinion expressed the
evening Detore, that 1' airfield has a majority
of 162 votes over Kent. It comnaros cars-
fully the returns published in tho British
Whig pnnls.tlic Boston Alius in narlicular.
with the returns in which it thinks there
are no mistakes, and shows that they have
erred materially in soveral counties.
"With all these corrections" it says "and
those too from 'whig' sources, the Atla3 ta
ble by couulire would stand, instead of 228
for Kent, 102 for Fairfield within ono of
whut wo made it vesicular. The Atlas
comes down hard, as it did last year in the
election of Morton; it would not then admit
that he was chcsnnj even when the official
canvass was made and accepted, because it
had pledged its reputation that there was no
choice." A Y. Era.
THE LOST BIBLE FOUND.

notices of the mifortuncs of lhe family of

of iho presbyterian church at EHzabethtown

at that time, was a zealous whig. His ac
tivity against the British, made him a mark
for their vengeance, and in ono of their fre
quent Incursions Into that neighborhood,
when he was ftom home, a comnanv of
soldiers surrounded his dwelling, and one
of them deliberately levelled his musket at
Mrs. Caldwell, while on her knees at pray-
r, mid tired, killing her instantly., 1 he
party then retreated, carrying off several ar-
Ies ol plunder, and ainonc them Air.
