AMERICAN MECHANICS. AND

Perhaps there 10 No par. of a popula-

But says some one, you say indus
try and trugality are common virtues
with mechanics. Why are not all me
chaoIcs rThi The reason is, that there
are very many who will not think for
themselves. In an affair If business, for
example. instead of sitting down and
making their own calcnlauous, they rust
others To 81, down and calculate for them.
Instead 81 employing their leisure hours

THE IMPORTANCE OF VOTING

The Chillicothc (Ohio) Gazette. in noticing a
political meeting lately held in that place, says:
Seen. Murphy, in his speech on Saturday, al
ludIng TO the ruin which msgov ernmcnt had bro't
upon the country and the comparative ease with
which the people might have avcr,ed it, said
"They staid at home that they might have the
profits of days labour, when by going to the
polls they could of have saved the hard earnings
of twenty years. sentiment worthy Of all ac-
ceptation and profitable to remember
The above remark is worthy of reflection How
important is it in this country where the people
rule through the ballot boxes that every qualified
voter should strictly attend his political duties!
And how many. for fear Of putting themselves to
a little inconvenience on the election dav-thro'
motives Of gain indolcnce--from a feeling Of
or timorous lest they should offend

ments! Thus the country is left in the hands of
demagogues or political mcrcenaries. How casilv
could the vote of Pennsylvania have been given
to Gen. Harrison last fall had the friends of sound
principles done their duty, and thus our country
might have been saved from all the disaster and
distress which now sweep over the land with the
bosom of destruction. Many an individual MIGHT
then have escaped losses which exceed in amount
The expenses Of numerous elections. We hone
that this consideration will weigh deeply with
'ur frenis this fall. and that they will remember
