The second kind of writing was the STLLAIIIC

The number of characters iu such a mode or

The Effect of Local Quarrels
among Republicans.
The Hon. William A. Howard, of Mich.
igan, one of the working Republicans of
the present Congress has been defeated
for reelection. The New York Ere. Pest,
speaking of this defeat, says :
* * * "The inclement'
weather of Tuesday last Mr. Howard 130.0-i
votes. Woist of all, a quarrel at the nom
'Mating con vection was perpetuated at the]
polls, ao Mr. Howard lost by local dis-
ie), trans' One district where he had always
had a majority." .
llc itajics are ours. Had this district
been as cloak as Mr. Howard's, it would
'mire been lost. in the same way—by thcH
local d;iisentf9i,4 caused by Republicans'
quarreling over he candidate for County
Treasurer. The hanker leaders of. this
borough haveloasted since the election,
that they had cut (lowa. Hale's majority
over 100 by dividjHig Republicans on
Treasurer. _We refer to this now s i m ply.
to ask our friends wheThtr it is worth

is the existence of this great fact that pl i rl or:

We rejoice that so ably a statesman
and orator as Senator Seward has the
courage to make this announcement.—
Compare this Issue with the Popular
Sinsielgnty humbug of Senator Douglas,
and who does not feel that the position of
the New York statesman is immeasurably
above that of the Illinois Dodger? But
our satisfaction at this announcement is
chiefly because it will hold the Republi

Our Turkey.
MR, EDITOR—Dyer Sir: I have no
turkey, but I have a goose, which 1 free.
ly give for a Thanksgiving. present—not
for any personal attractions for the Edit
or, the Etlitress or your "Bevil," but for
the cause of Freedom and Temperance,
so well defended in the POTTER JOUR
NAL. Yours Truly, 11. L. Biup.
SWEDEN, Nov. 18th, 1858.
By the above it will be seen that our
turkey turned out to be a goose—and
that after all the tribute was not so much
for our deserving as for the causes we ad
vocate. We accept it upon those terms
with better grace than we could possibly
have done had it been a tribute to the
"personal attractions of the Editor, the Edi
tress, or the Devil,"--for they and we are
exceedingly modest of those. Between
the late elections and the t-u-r--goose,
we ought to have good cause for our
thankalivlng—therefore many thanks to
thee, Bird for a bird without feathers.—
Our Thanksgiving dinner POMO off on the
21st, that "goose" forming one of the,
principal features.
Our neighbor of the Democrat, bratti
of a string of seven turkeys (1) which had
surreptitiously found a lodgement on his
office stairs, without his knowledge or
consent. Be charges them to the credit
of our young friend, S. D. Kelly; but
that gentleman informs tug that he did,
not send them, and that seven eilickens,
were mysteriously missing from his store
Thanksgiving morn. Further investiga.
tion establishes the fact that our
. neigh

chlokens into turkeys, awl that some
wags had taken them, appended liis.aotu:
pliments vary singularly, and planed
them there iu order to play a "practical

than we were as usual.

How the: People rutty- Choose

We heartily endorse the Mowing plan pro.
posed by the S. Y Tribune of the lath inst.,
by which the People may maks their own
choice of a President. It is not only, a good
plan, but reryjciaildt, only requiring agitation
(that great hug-bear which gives s*piriug poll
adults unrest) to make it the plan for the Re.:
publicans in ISO. We will refer to it aptiti
but for present give it to our readers for
their consideration with this brief - endorse
anent. We hope all Republican editors wilt
give it due consideration, and if it Meets their
views, pine& it. before ;heir readerS. The time
is at hand for its careful consideration, iu view
of the result of 1860:
The true mode of choosing - a President .is
this : Let the Republicans and the Democratic
voters of each Stale nominate andsupport an Elee
lariat Fait, pledged to .rote for that candidatejd
President and lice-President respectively whom
the largest number eg"Fotersfor that ticket through.

let each voter in vchatever State vote the Elec.
twist Ticket of hie party beaded by the names
the candidates of his choice fur-President

the strongest party in tub State will thus be
chosen, and the People will decide, in chooi
ing it, for whom the Slecturs of the respectire
parties shall vote. 'Ftir lust:we:, Let us sup

The result in each State (California probs.,

country within ten or twenty days after the

by telegraph that a pturality.of the Republi

Republican Rlietorial Voie'should be east, us
per agreement, for Fremont and Dayton—who'
would thus be chosen.

the good sense, and the quiet huttior which
characterize Goldsmith's writings; laird they I
are, moreover, written with, like clorrectnes,l
of-language. They treat, beside tha4 of coma
.ship and tnatrimopy,. or a variety of subjects
from scenes and experiences in social life, and ,
are partieularly.adapted for every day family I
reading. They are; indeed, such ni; will bear
to be "read aloud about the ceeningliamp, and
will please and instruct not onlyi the "old
folks at home," but also the "little Tulles."—
No one can read Mr. Morris's volute without i
being impressed by the toned, eatue4 thought- I
fulness that pervades it, and we believe this
work will be the means through wh ich an in
finity
of good will be accomplishe d. It is a i
hook fit for anybody to read, and Worthy of a I
plice in every family. It is chaste in style.
elevating in tone and sentiment, and contains'
many useful lessons whirls may contrioute to I
make a happy. home. No book before the ;
public contains. sounder morality, nr practical
lionsehold wisdom inure pleasantivlespressed,
and 'certainly there id no collectiotl of essays,
better adapted for general reading In the rant- i
ily. As the work has beets most etithusiasti- i
calls praised by such men as John Prin. it is .
needless to say we trust that all persons will
extend to it their hearty patronagl, by send- '
ing for it. - The publishers will send a copy
