For the Raftsman's Journal
The Importance of tqe Coming Election,
has impressed itself upon one, who has here
tofore stood aloof from exercising the elective
franchise in regard to the choice of a Presi
dent, with one exception, on the ground that
it seemed to conflict with ruy testimony against
war. But at that time, as well as the present,
there seemed to be a greater evil threatening
the people of these United States than even
that of war, and that is the extension of invol
untary servitude, not only of the Macks, but of
all classes of the community ; for although
those not of the African race may not undergo
as much bodily suffering, yet a sense of guilt
ij torturing both to body and mind ; and in my
view it is not ouly those that ar-i engaged in
the nef.tr!ei'.3 business, but those that give their
induence lor the extension of it, and to home
extent t!.e whole community." For any two
things so diametrically opposite as slavery and
freedom, never ca: harmonize under the same
government, because their interests conflict.
Hence all our broils and disorder at the head
cf government ; and when the head is so much
disordered, may we not reasonably expect it
to descend to every member of the body.
TTben governments, as well as men, take a
Tvrong directiou, one step su-ceds another
until they are involved in a labyrinth of ditli
cnlty, from which it ii hard to escape. So I
think in respect to the annulling of the Mis
souri Compromise line. Therefore, with these
things staring ma in the face, it teems to be
hoove jie quietly to give my voice against
"them at the ballot box, il spared to i so, and
I hope .that all may calmly and coolly reflect
and decide (3eperate and apart from the ex
citement) to cast their votes on the side ol
. mercy and justice. W
Clearfield, 10th mo. Sth, 'oy.
KtCE.MLT in Bourbon, Marshall county, Ken
tucky, a discussion took place between Hon.
Schuyler Colfax and Judge Stewart. A num
ber of Irishmen attacked a w;igon, containing
4 men and a number of ladies, and with clubs
knocked down the horses and commenced an
indiscriminate assault upon all in the wagon.
The consternation produced spread through
-the largo crowd present. In the waggon was
the wife of a Mr. Leffol, who rode back to pro
tect her. His horse was knocked down, and
finding too strong a force against him, he re
treated to the house of Rev. Mr. James, whith
er ho was pursued by the r.iob, who picked up
axes as they went, broke in the windows and
door and brutally murdered him, bis legs and
head being nearly cut to pieces. Mr. Colfax
at this time was returning from supper. lie
was stopped and his life threatened. All par
ties agree that there was no provocation for
this murderous assault. During the riot, one
of the mob was shot.
Maetland. The municipal election in Bal
timore on the 8th, resulted in the success of
Swan, American, by a large majority. Much
disorder and confusion attended the election,
unrl a Dumber of fights, in which pistols and
euns were freely used, took place. At a fight
in Lexington market, three persons were kil
led. Swan's majority will reach 1,500.
CosstCTiccr. The elections for town offi
cers took place on the Cth, in about half of the
.State. The Hartford Courant says that 12
towns have been heard from, the Republicans
carrying 73, and the Democrats 48 divided,
6. Fremont gains 23 towns and Buchanan 14.
The latest news relative to the election in
Connecticut, indicate plainly that the State
be carried for Fremont and Dayton by at
least 7,000 to 8,000 majority.

IMPORTANT TO E VERY-BOD V. For
the last three years, I have been engaged in a
business known ouly to myself, and. comparative
ly few others, whom I have instructed for the sum
of 200 each, which has averaged me at the rato
of $3,000 to S5.000 per annum; and having mado
arrangements to go to Europe ne.xt Spring, to en
gage in the same business, I am willing to give
full instructions in the art to any person in the U
nited States or Can ad as. who will remit me the sum
of SI. I am induced, from the success I have been
favored with, and the many thankful acknowledg
ments I have received from those whom I have in
structed, and who are making from $5 to S15 per
day at it. to give any person an opportunity to en
gage in this business, which is easy, pleasant, and
very profitable, at a small cost. There is positive
ly no humbug in the matter. References of the
best class can he given as regards its character, and
I can refer to persous whom I have instructed, who
will testify that they arc making from S5 to $15
per day at the same. It is a business at which ei
ther ladies or gentlemen can engage, and with per
fect case make a very handsome income. Several
Imlisi-a various parts of New York State, Pennsyl
vania, and Maryland, whom I have instructed, are
now making from S-'t to 53 per day at it. It is a
general business, and but a few shillings is requir
ed to start it. Upon receipt of SI, I will immedi
ately send to the applicant a printed circular con
taining full instructions in the art, which can be
perfectly understood at once. All letters must be
