I was npprcnliced to n decorative pain ter, but beiug of a bold, daugor loving turn, I rau away to sea' beforu my time was out. After some years of knocking about, I y;ot tired of a maritime life, and having married and determined to stiek to the shore, I got work with a builder, whose peculiar lino lay in erecting tall chimneys. I had always a cool head, and could staud on elevations that made ir.ost men dizzy, and so was toon a favorite hand with my master. Wo had on ono oco.is-iou to fasten a ngiituing conductor, wiiiefi liau. sprung near the lop of a very high chimney, and .Mr. Staining chose myself and ono James Colly to do it, as the m t daring of his men About half a dozen of us went that morning with a handcart, containing the necessary ropes, blocks, the kite, aud a box or cradle. Having flown tho kite,and dropped in line across the top of the chimney, wo'ooudrow up a rope, at the end of which was a block, through which ran the lino whereby we were to be drawn up. Colly had only been married a fortnight and as we stepped into tho cradle the men 'banteringly asked him if ho "hadn't a last dying speech for his wife ; and then, Mr. Staming having shaken hands with us aud bid us bo cool and steady, we wore drawn slowly up. It was known all over town that the conductor was to bo iised, though a3 j1Q ,Jav Was nQt ,nmcd. I did not ex. " "'v aa "ul huiulu, a. uiu not t-i- icuuy iiruimuu wilu Siarers.

I had como up in the best heart, think - ing, indeed, nothiug about tho danger we incurred; but as we drew nearer and nearer to tho top, and had noihing, as it seemed, belonging to this world near to us but this straining rope, I began to see the peril of tho undertaking.

Tho color of his faco was of a tran sparent bluo; and it was distorted and twitching, as if ho was id a fit. His eyes wcro very wild, and drawn into a squint, and ho couldn't sit steady, but swayed his body backward and forward, so that I felt certain he must topple over. "Come, Jem, lad," 1 said, thinking to lake tho fright oiThim j "it's bad enough, but it oan li mended. Hitch up a bit and put your arm around tho rod may bo it will steady you." "Whoro arc you? and whoro is the rod ?" he asked, in a hollow voice, though ho was looking straight at me, and the rod was only a foot or two to his left. Uy this I knew that he had gono blind with fright, and self-prcasrvation said, don't go near him j but then I remembered his now wedded wife, and that taking him all through ho was always a decent fellow ; and 1 thought how I should havo liked him to havo done il I had been in" his case; so I determined to run a bit of risk in his favor. Of courso,! dare not get on my feet, but working myself on my hands, I got to him , and puttiug my arm round his waist, aud telling him as cheerily as 1 could to keep cool, I got him with his arm rouud the rod. It had, however, sprung tho stapling for five yards down, aud it was so loose that it swayed with him, and I expected any minute to see him falling head and heels down, and tho rod tearing away with him. Thcro was a groat bustlo down below ; people wero rushing round tho yard and pushing to got in, but as yet thero wero but some score of men at the foot of tho chimney, and by close looking I saw them put somebody on a board and carry him gently away towards thu engine house.

While I was watching them below, feel ing sorry for my poor master, I was start led by a wild laugh from Colly, who began making cat calls, and yelling as if he was possessed. Then I knew, of course, that he had gone mad. Even now I tremble when I think of that timo j it was horrible to peer down tho suatt, black and sooty and yawning, ana scarcely less so to look outside aud sco a tight ot pigeons, sweeping round at con- sidorably less height than we woro.

THE SPECIAL ELECTION IN DELAWARE. Troni tlio Dclawarcan. The facts connected with tho special olection held in this Statu on Thrusday, the 10th day of November, A. D. 1803 aro so significant in themselves as illus trative oi tho spirit, plans and purpose of tho Abolition party controlling tho Govern ment, and so fully justify tho action of tho Democracy of Delaware in refusing to participate in such an election, that wo deem it right aud proper to submit a can did statement of thoso facts to tho people, notonly of ourown Sttte,but of tho whole country. Thu death of tho late lion. Wjlliaui Temple, Representative from this State in the Congress of tho United States rendered a special election necessary to fill tho vacancy thus occasioned, and tho Governor of tho State was clothed with, authority, by law, to appoint tho day for such special election. In obedience to tho duty imposed by the provisions of Articlo II. of the Federal Constitution, William Cannon, Governor of tho State, issued writs of election t fill tho vacancy afore said and appointed Thursday, the 19th, of November, .as tho day for said election. Prior to the issuing of tho writs of election the Republicans of the Stato held a con vention of their party and placed in nomi- nation as their candidate) for Congress Na thanicl B. Smithors, Esq. Subsequently the Democracy of Delaware held a con- vcniion, and, with great unanimity norai- rt-itoil frti- i,ft c.mn imt-ttftn It... TTt.

Evorywhcro ho wa3 received Delaware, on Thursday last, toluntarilly with enthusiasm and approbation j hun-! rofused to exercise tho clcctivo franchise dreds upon hundreds turned out to meet him at every point. His canvass iu Sus sex was a success a triumph a demon stration of popular approval, encouraging to tho Dcmocraoy, but withering to tho hopes of Mr. Smithors and tho Abolition ists. Tho samo state of facts existed in Kent. White tho Uopublicans could scarcely muster enough men at many points to justify their speakers in attempting to address them, the Democratic meetings wcro largo and enthusiastic, showing, be- yondinistako,that Mr.Brown would bo dec ted by an overwhelming majority if thcro was no military interference. It had been given out by Mr. Smithors and his friends that tho election should bo jperfeotly fair and equal, and that no mili tary interference would be permitted and such wo have no doubt was their original intention; but tho oanvass of the State sat isfied Mr. Smithors and his party that Mr. Brown would be clocted, and that greenbacks, by means of which thoy at first hoped to succeed could not prevent it. Convinced that Smithers would be defeated by a large majority unless something could be done to prevent tho people from voting tho Abolition party of tho Stato invoked Federal interposition. This was done, and "General Orders, No. 59," was issued we believe, at the special instance and re quest of Mr. Smithers and the leading Abolitionists of tho State. Wo aro aware that they deny all complicity with the matter, and affect to regret the military in terference that was had with tho election, but wo do not believe them we cannot believe that General Schenck would have disrcgardetflho wishes of Mr. Smithors, whose election he was anxious to promoto, mul ten IrTinur tlilll Willinm (Inttnitn trnwlrl Lavc endorscd ,he ordor a3 h(j without the permission of Mr Smithers. ! In lUL'ir desperation they have trampled "Pn the most sacred rights of tho pcoplo ol" 11,0 State and now meanly attempt to transfer to Gen, Sohenck the odium which justly attaches to themselves. Schenck I has his own sharo of blame ; but not all the sin is his. 'Wo havo not timo now to examine critically this military order ful initialed against the Democracy of Dola j waro bnt we will say, in passing, that no 'such clss of ovil disposed persona exist in Delaware as is referred to in the preamble of ''General Oi'ders, No. 59," unless, in 1 deed, it bo the AbolitionUts themselves, I who a year ago did disturb the publio peace and prevent a fair cloction by bring- i ing military forco into the State to do feat the Democratic party, thereby proviug that they do not recognize allegiance to Constitution and laws of the country or of the Stato.

Tho Democracy of Dela- waro havo uot thus been taught, and al though without tho disposition or the power to maintain their constitutional .rights against tho military power of tho General Government, they nevertheless refuted to acknowledge the right of a mili tary commander to prescribe tho terms upon which they could exereiso the privil ege of voting. Tho qualification of an elector is specifically defined by tho Con stitution of the State, and every person qualified according to that instrument has the right to voto a right of which ho can not bo rightfully deprived by nny power on oartb aud any additional qualification prescribed by military authority is a super sedeas of tho Constitution of tlio State and a virtual disfranchisement of tho citizen. Tho laws of the"6tato prescribe tho man ner in which elections shall bo held, and guard by stringent provisions the right of ovcry qualified citizen to voto as ho pleases. This "Goneral Order No. 50" sets at defiance tho laws of State in this behalf, and compols officers, of election, under throats to bo executed by provost marshals and military dotachmcnts placed at tho do Is for that purpose, to d srenard tho statuc-laws of the Stato. and to yield .

Ancint Ruins in the United States. Dim and misterious is tho early history of man on this cont'iEent. It is enveloned in thick darkness, never, it may be pre sumed, to be penetrated by human research. And yet tho ruios of ancient cities arc fre quently discovered, that tell of a raco that has long sinco passed away probablo ex terminated by tho ancestors of our present Indians, who are also fast departing from tho human family fairly dying out, before the evor advancing infiuenco of tho ple facca. But these monumental cities indi cate great populations, and prove tho exis tence of mighty men of old. A new stim ulus is likely to be given to American ar chaeology, by a discovery recently made some ninety miles northeast of Fort Stan ton, a long account of which has appeared in the Fort Smith (Aakansas) Times. Tho plan upon which ho tho mussivo rolics of gorgeous temples and magnificicnt halls, slopes gradually eastward toward tho river Pecos, and is very fertile, cross ed by a gurgling stream of the purest wa ter, that not only sustains a rich vegetation, but perhaps furnished with this necessary clement tho thousands who onco inhabited this present wilderness. The city was probably built by a warlike race, as it is I encc uetw011 views of the two.

Several of the buildings aro of vast sizo, and built of massivo blocks of a dark grauito rook, which could onlyhavo becu wrought to their prescot condition by a vast amount of labor. Thcro are the ru ins of three noblo edifices, each presenting a front of thrco hundred feet, made of ponderous blocks of stono, and tho dilap idated walls aro cven now thirty-five feet high. There aro no portions in tho arear of tho middle (supposed) temple, so that the room must havo been vast; and thero arc also carvings in has relief and fresco work. Appearances justify tho conclu sion that theso silent ruins could once boast of hulls as gorgeously decorated by the artist's hand as thoso of Thebes and Palmyra. The buildings are all loopholcd in each side, much resembling those found in the old feudal castles of Europe.dcsinn- ed for tho use of arches. Tho blooks of which theso edifices aro composed aro ce mented together by a speoies of mortar of a bituminous character, which has such tenacity that vast masses of wall havofal Ion down without tho blocks being detach by tho shock. A Veudant Young Man in a Concert Saloon. A young man, son of a respec table farmer of Luzeinc county, recently visited Philadelphia, and in his rounds dropped into a concert saloon.

In the days of tho older Adams, when Federalism had tho control of tho Gov ernment, nets of despotism wcro commit ted having somo rcsemhlanco lo thoso which, distinguish tho Administration of Abra ham Lincoln. Ono caso will illustrate tho character of many others, which occurred during tho reign of terror uudor Federal ism. A Gorman Democratic paper (tho Adkr) was published at Reading, Pennsylvania, by Honry Snyder. That paper was sup pressed, and Mr. Snyder arrested by ardor of President Adams, for some criticism on his Administration. This act of tyranny aroused at onco tho Democratio spirit of that county ; and a small band, headed by John Fries and John Miller, held a meet ing, nnd passed resolutions disapproving of tho Federal Administration, and tho arbitrary arrest of Snyder, and tho sup pression of his paper, and asserting thoir constitutional right to tho freedom ol speech and of tho press. Government soldiers wcro at once for warded from Philadelphia, then the seat of tho Federal Government, to arrest Fries and his compatriots. Fries and eight other Domoorats wcro arrested, for ced to Easton, Pennsylvania, and thera locked up in a dark cellar, knec-deep in water and mud, lor forty-eight hours, and then, under a .strong guard of Federal soldiers, taken to Philadelphia and im prisoned. There they received a mock trial tho Judge of tho Court being a sub servient tool of the Administration, and the jury baoked by tho Federal Marshal. . Fries was condemned to he hung, and tho others sentenced to the penitentiary, somo for ono, some for five, and some for nino years. But, before Fries was hung, Jeff erson was elected President, whoso first official act was to pardon Fries and hU fellow victims of Federal persecution and tyranny. When Fries and hi6 fellow Democrat! wcro released from their long confinement, tho people met in a largo mass meeting beforo the jail, and constructed a platform on which they carried Fries high nbovo thoir heads throagh tho streets of Philad elphia, amid tho shouts and huzzas of thousands of Democratic freemen. Thus ended tho misrule and tyranny of tho Fed eralists, as well as the roign of terror thoy created. The present Republicans are tho legiti mate political descendants of tho Federal ist of 1799 and 1800. There is no differ- tho Kepubhcaus aro tho same. Thoy distrust tho people, and clamor for a strong central Government, The Federalists had their reign of terror, suppressing newspa pers, and arresting their proprietors and editors, incarcerating and otherwiso pun ishing cilizous for expressing their political opinions. Tho Republicans arc doing tho same thing, ouly on a more extended and malignant scale. Despotic power, to rulo and control the people, lies at tho foun dation of their political creed ; and all they want is tho opportunity to create a monarchy aud enslave the people. The Blessed Ones.
