wear the ring given by sweetheart on the

is a nerve from thence which goes directly to

WESICHESTER, Ia. Nov. !.
One sunny morning, the week before the
election, handsome coach drove into our vii
lage, and stopped at the Washington hotel.
gcnteel young man, we'll dressed, handed
out lady, well clad, but moi quite to suit the
style OF the carriage, or the appearance Of her
beau. The manners of the gentleman were
easy, showing him to be accustomed to good
company, and his green spectacles gave him
an AIR OF gravity and sense, quite imposing.
They breakiasted-had their horses fed
Coachy got his bitters and breakfast: and the
coach was brought out for the travellers 10

eager look ana rapid haste, drove up in a gig
the horse white with foam. The first salu-
tation OF one OF the pursuers was, ssThat fell
low swinl'led me out of one hundred and fifty
dollars yestcrday!" Mr.. Spectacles looked
through his glasses quite composedly. picked
his teeth, and made no reply. 1t pretty soon
appeared that the gentleman in the coach was
sharper, gambler, sc. aad his lady, Miss No
r-thal-she-should-b
1t seems thatthe gentleman in pursuit was
a watch maker and jeweller of Philadelphia,
having constable along with him. The gem
tleman swindler came into his shop, and
bought an elegant gold repeating watch, chain
and ripg,+ desired the master to go to his Iods-
inSs at respectable hotel, and receive his pay.
They entered the house together, and the
sharper begged him to sit down while he went
to his chamber for the money. Half an hour
passed away, and the watch purchaser did not
come down; in truth how could he ? for he
had made mistake, and instead Of going no
stairs, had stepped out the back door and into
a hack, which, he had in waiting-drove rap
idly to his lady's and took her inland pushed
out of town with all possible speed. The hap.
py couple had staid one night on the road but
envious fortune had early nipped their joys
The constable entered the coach with the low
ers; the lady bcrating her sweetheart for a

seen in company with ;-ald back they drove

der ring oigold. Well it is a good old fashion;
one OF the oldest on record. Among the an

a CAUCUS.

The following remarks upon the sub
Ject OF "A Caucus, present the subject
In new and striking attitude, aud is
well worthy the attention of the peo-
pie:
I" The advocates for the caucus system
can have but one end in view, and that
is to cause some one, BY means Of the inJqu-
ence OF caucus mominatinn, to be elected,
cYho might not be 1pithontit Now can
Gus nomination will, or will not, have
the effect OF making the President if
this object be not effected by it, it is
then useless; if the object IS attained,
then Congress make the President. The
argument stands thus: the Congress in
1924, indirectly, and most unconsti-
tuiionaily, elect the President, TO pre-
vent the same Congress from doing the
same thing in 1824-5, directly and con-
slltntionally."
s 1t is manifest, that, if the Caucus at
tain its avowcd object, which is the pre-
vention of "A Congressional election, il
altalns another, not ayowed, that OF pre-
scrl6ing zoho shall be elected. The people.
according to thss theory, are the mere III
strnment IN the hands Of q caucus ; and,
an PLAIN truth, the election Of President is
TO be under tie control of the uery persons
1oho'" the Constitution has denounced as
unfit for The office Of clectors.''

We have received the first number of the
~ Free Press,"a paper, just established at
Taunton, by Pliny Merrick and Theophilus
Parsons Esq'rs. From the known character
Of the Editors, it will unquestionably be con-
Quoted with ability. In their Introductory
re marks, they say,
We have been called the advocates of Mr.
Crawford, for the high office of President of the
United States; and it has been said that to
promote his election, we are offering ourselves
AS partizans tothe community. This is an
error which we desire to correct. We are
willing that all should avail themselves of our
pages to expose error, or to communicate
their feelings, and opinions TO the public but
when we believe these feelings and opinions
contrary to reason and truth, we shall do what
we can TO correct them. If this course will
have tendency TO promote the advancement
OF any one of our fellow citizens, we are so
Tar, and no farther his partizane.'
We are glad to see this avowal, believing
at due to the reputation of the editors, to make
it; as such an opinion, if uncontradicted.
could not fail of being injurious to them.
Whatever qualifications VIM. II. Crawford
may have for the Presidency, the unatoned
blood of the murdered Van Allen yet cries
from the ground, and we most sincerely hope
that no person, for whom we entertain so high
personal respect, as we do for one Of the
Editors ofthe Press, will ever subject himself
to the reproach--the foul reproach, ofsupport-
ing this man, for that responsible Office.
Let ltbe once understood, that moral purity
isn recommendation for Office, and that de-
praFity and crime are no objections, and the
preservation Of our present free and happy
institutions, will be rendered doubtful indeed.
