Riding ont thsNo.her day, | stopped a
moment at a tavern on the hill, kept by
Mrs. Bucket--and while smoking my
pipe with ny old friend who had been
hunting for an office this month past and
came home disappointed, Fttle boy
brought in spring trap ready set for
mouse the iandlady SAY him, and pat
ting him on the head cautioned him;
doa't put your finger in it Bob; 1t will
bite. The little fellow threw it down
in an instant. Look there SAID my
friend, how few are aswise as that little
fellow; he won't put his fingers into
the trap when it would be the easiest
thing in the world to do it; and yet
thousands hunt up the trap with infinite
labor and pains, and then stick whole
hand in it.
He had scarcely spoken--before in
came Tom Worthless with clothes as
ragged as begger, and threw down =
shilling for a gill; l told him the story;
and Tom, said ], you are putting your
fingers in the trap nicely; take care it
nil bits.-He swallowed the liquor and
allowed the advice was good, but the
whiskey better.
However, man who misses the nall
many a time may hit it on the head at
last and wish my neighbours, the Prln-
ters. if they see man in TOMS case to
tell him the story; Tell him he is med
ding with trap, and it will bite-it
will bite.
Ifthey see an idle fellow running to
the stores for credit, tell him, he is set
ting the trap for himself, and putting his
fingers in it too, andthat it will bite one
of these days most surely.
If they see an obstinate churl running
heedessly into the law, and expendng
dollar after dollar to cheat a neighbour,
instead of settling the matter peaceably
at home, tell him he is preparing trap
for himself that viii bite before he thinks
of it.
If they see young man about to get
married who has no means supporting
a wife and family; calculating to live on
love all the rest of his days, tell him too,
he's playing with trap, that will bite
sharper than he imasines, if he don't
take care.
If they see poor souls idling away
their time in Hopes of getting in Office,
or of being left legacy, or OF drawing
a prize in lottery, or OF making money
by speculation, or of times growing bet
Ter, or in hopes of any such things do
tell them its all nonsense, and that they'll
find themselves caught in trap ere they
expect IT.
if they hear man talk of going TO the
new countries, who is tolerah,e well fix
ed here. tell him TO keep his fingers out
of such a trap; for, there are hun
dred kind of traps that Kill bite besides
mouse traps.
have seen great many people sha-
king their fingers in late times, and dan
cing round to a sorry key, who had been,
caught in traps of one kind or another
and | lust scratch of these hints for the
heneft of tassa who most need them.

FOR THE sPEoTAToR

FOR THE sPECTAT0R
MR. WARREN,
Long have felt considerable pre-
!, judice against yourself and paper, in
consequence OF your beng SO very &C
tive in discovering our plans, detect
ing US, and publishing to the world, that
which has truly been he theme and main
object of US conven;iouisls and had n4t
some letters appeared in the Republican
from my native county, (Washinston}
respecting our late election, al which
time ] advocated convention, | might
until this time, and perhaps unit our
next general election, have smothered
the dictates OF conscience, and voted for
a convention. But happy, al that time,
and since, my parry has acted 50 outrage
ously, and Inconsistent with all princi-
pies OF honor, decency and humaHfy,
that conscience calls on me to forsake
them, and give you a true account Of
our election and the plans laid by US,
10 elect our cohH entiou candidate, ho-
nesily il hoSsible---it not to elect him al
all events.
BY the removal of our former sheriff
and two county commissioners, il be-
came the duty of our convention friend
(the c!erk) to order special election,
which he ordered to be held only in our
convention precinct as we call il, Co
vingion.) On aud before the day Of
election, we notified all our contention
friends to attend punctualy themselves,
and bring with them all legal voters they
cold obtain, and as many others as they
could get; we did not hesitate To furnish
some poor, honest anti-cone enJionlsts,
who were dependent upon US and under
obligations 10 us, with horses, saddles.
money, &c. Notwithstanding all this,
We thought we could gain our point ho-
morally IN consequence of our candidate
being an old resident of the county, an
honest, upright, respectable man, and a
man Of property; whist our opponent
was young. single, poor man, and a
man OF transient residence; and in fact,
we strove to make him no man at all,
not even lit for deputy constable and BY
this means we got between twenty ard
thirty anti-conveniion men to vote for
our convention candidate but knowing
the ti-ConVeDlionsts 10 be numerous,
we were Obliged to bring forth our ile-
gal voters. aad all Of my party who had
pledged their word and honor to vote for
The anli-conVention candidate, made no
hesitation in breaking promises, forfeit
ing honors, and returning to their own
party.
There were four candidates for coun-
ty commissioners, two on our side, aud
two opposed 10 a convention; one of the
apti-convention candidates got between
twenty i've and thirty votes over either
oil the coDe eutlon canIIdales by great
strife and intrigue we elected one con-
yenlion commissioner by a majority oil
two votes over their other ani-conven-
ton candidate. | rejoiced at tina; time
