- Voting Undsr DiSieultics.
A corrsspondont of the Knlc kerlock;r furnish
es to the Editor of that journal the following
amusing sketch of the purity of the elective
franchise in the state of Ohio. We should like
to have grasped the hand of the patriotic fel
low who was so anxious to vote the tigwhick
et," if it were not for the fact, that ho finally
backed out.
'In the north west portion of the State of
Chio, in tho county of Auglaize, there is a
township, the citizens of which are principally
German, and notwithstanding their 'sweet
accent,' they are all Democrats of the regular
unterriaed stripe. From the time of the erec
tion ot the county up to- 1S32, there never
bid been a whig vote cast in the township spy
ken of, although there were over six hundred
voters; but at the fall election of that year,
upon or.nting the ballots, it appeared that
(he. e was out regular s'r.iight-oul whig ticket,
and they dara not pass it by. This caused
great commotion'; their escutcheon wns djm-iii.-cl:
there was a tc.'.g amongst them; that
bio' must he wiped out, and with their cour
age (Dutch of cours) up to fever heat in the
sha le. thy went to work slyly to find the man
who i:au .i trea to vote tue ; sg
Dkksi
but
their lahors ware unsuccessful.
Iu the mean
time another year rolled ro;d, and the good
'beeples' were again assembled at the. election
precinct. It bad not been forgotten, however,
that f.t the last election wnio one had voted
the-Vig Dieket; and it was now the subject
of open remark and wonder.
'.While they were having an out-door dis
cussion of the subject, Sarn Starrett, a late
immigrant from the eastern shore of Maryland,
came alonz and demanded tho cause of the
commotion. '
Veil, ve vas vondering who it vas wat vo
ted vig dieket at the last election, said an old
Dutchman.
"Ii was me, Sam said, and it 'wa'nt no bo
dy else."
"I dinks not," said the old Dutchman, and
the balance shook their heads incredulously.
I, tell von, it was, though," said Sam,
pul!g out a Whig ticket, f and may I be chaw
ed n: . if I aint going to do it again. I am go
ing to vots't'itf.', (holding out the ticket,) and
voiv;t open. too. I'll let you know that I am
an cric,i Citizen, and I'll vote just as I
please, Hii.l you can't help it by Jemima !"
So in he went to deposit his ballot. There
sat the three old Dutch judges of election,
cairn aa a summer morning ; and true to his
word, Sam hnnded over his ticket, open. One
( f the old judges, took it a few seconds, band
ed ii back toward the independent voter, and
said :
"Yaw, dat ish a Vig dickct."
"Weil, put it in the box," said Sara.
"V;.t you sty " said tho old Dutchman,
his eyes big with surprise ; "put him in do
box ?" . '
"Yes, sirVe, put it in the box ! I am goin'
to vote it !"
. -0h ! nix goof, nix goot ! dr.t ish a Tig dick
ct," said the old Dutchman shaking his head.
'Well, I reckon I know it is a Whig ticket,
and I wan" t you to put it ia the box, darnation
quick."
"Xo, no, dat ish not goot ; dat ish a Vig
dieket ; we not take him any more," said the
old judge, turning to receive goot dickets'
from some of his German friends.
'Sam w ent out and cursed till all was blue
said ho had come thar to vote, he'd be flam
bergasted if be wa'nt goin' to vote in spite cf
alb the Dutch in the township. So, after cool
ing oll'a little, he again went in and tendered
his ticket, very neatly rolled up. The old judge
took it again, and notwithstanding Sam's de
demurring, unrolled it and looked it over ;
then turning to Sam in a manner and tone not
to be misunderstood, said :
"1 tells you dat ish a Fig dickct ; dat it ink
lAx goot ; and dat tee not lake hint any uiose .'"
' ;Sam again retired, cursing all democrats
generally, and the Dutch in particular, and as
signing, the. hottest corners of tho brim
stone region ; and was going on to curse eve
ry body that didn't curse them, when he was
interrupted by an old Dutchman in the crowd,
wiih : ' ; , :: :'a . ,
' "Sam Starrett, I tells. -you vat" it Ish, if you
vill vote Dimercrat dieket, and lcef der goun
tv we gifi you so much mouish as dakes you
vere you cum'd vrom."
Sam scratched bis head, studied awhile,
and then said that as he had come thar to vote
and wan t goin' away without votin', he gues
sed he'd 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 Sant aud said :
"Yaw, dat isli goot; dat ish a Dimeicratic
dieket !" 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; and that, at that election
and ever since, that German township has
been 0. K.
That is what I call preserving the purity of
elections. '

wise conclusion and after wishing all sorts of
bad luck to politicians, that class of men whose
patriotism and integrity lie in their pocket,
they ordered all their mugs to be again refill

Ths Eorth Cape..
We cut the following description of the North
Cape of Lapland, from an exchage paper ; i
presents a striking picture of a subhme vicw
of one of nature's wildest scenes:
'Lord Silverton approached the Cape, aud
looked steadily -downward, ne drew a long
breath, and in hushed accents, said:
-This reminds me of Shaksjieare's descrip
tion of the chalk cliffs of Dover, in King Lear.
But vhat are the cliiTs of Dover? But what
are the cliffs of Dover to this North Cape of
Lapland ! This is awful tremendous sub
lime! The whole world has not its equal.
What would not S'uakspeare have written, had
he stood on this North Cape! A sight like
this would make even a common man a poet-:
but tile poet-born would be ttherealizsd
transported beyond himself inspired!' .
-Give me your band, my lord,' 6.aid Herr
Kline.uager, -for I think you have iron nerves
like myself, u:id we may venture to approach
nearer the brink of tiie precipice.'
They did so; and Lord Sih erion, accustoai
ed as he had been to ascend to the rcyal yarda
of a thr?-decker, involuntarily shrank and
shuldered, as he gazed down the blue gulf of
air, .and the saw apparently, miniature waves
break at the foot of the mighty Capa, and
heard the f int echo of their roar.
'T; terrible astounding almost horrible:'
raurmi.red he.
' 'From r.r.r sian liag-pciut to the surface of
the sea below U sheer one thousand feet,' cool-

the ocean, driven in Luge waves' from tho isy
Arctic regions, burst r.gi'mst this sentinel of
nature this defiant Capo and casts up solid
masses of water in tens of thousands of tons,
hundreds of feet high, against the rock, and
the foamy spray flies a hundred feet above th
summit where we stand!
' 'Listen a moment,' he continued; you feel
the cutting wind, and you hear its shrill whis
tle as it rushes against us; but do you alio
bear a different and most peculiar sound?
'5Tis the loom of the ocean at our feet, is it
not V ' 'Yes; we hear the sound cf the waves

the base cf the Cape; and the sound is so faint
at this immense elevation, that one might fan

the sea. But it is net the echo of tho waves
that I wish you to notice. Bend your hoad

'Lord Silverton did so; and now he distinct
ly heard a sound, or A variety of sounds,blen
ded together, so as to produce a species of
wild,' unearthly symphony. There were wail
ing sounds, vibratory sounds, hissing sounds,
moaning sound;, rumbling sounds, sighing
sv.-.uds, rushing sounds, quivering sounds,
sharp, Ro't, end mingled sounds all heard
faintly yet clearly, and impressing, tho hearr
with a pleasing sensation, but unlike the inu
gin iry distant concerts we sometimes listen
to in a dream.
' 'What fresh marvel and mystery is this V
' 'It is no mystery, my Lord, but a very na
tural and simple phenomenon. The singular
and undescribable sounds are produced by the
very same wind that blow s against us, and they
are caused by the resistance offered by tba
wind, on its passage, by the head or front of
the Cape beneatL our feet ; and it is, as you
would observe when sailing around it, not a
plain surface like a wall or bastion, built by
tiands, as it at first sight seems, but grooved,
and rifted, and full of hollows and protuberan
ces, of all sizes and shapes ; hence the singu
lar variety ot sounds, all of which reach tu
here in an undertone ; but were we suspended
half-way down the front of the Cape, we should
doubtless be astonished at their loudness !'
