SELECTED TALES.
THE DEAF AND DUMB Roy.

One winter evening, rs the watchInun on
Point Ncuf at Paris was going his rounds,
he found a child, clad IN the very cxtremi-
ty Of tagged warchedness, standing alone in
u corner, and ultering low and scarcely ar
tlculate means, while the tcars fell fast
from the poor creatures eyes, aud his un-
protected body shiyered with the piercing
cold of night. As the boy seemed Of an
age to he able to tell so much, the guardian
Of the bridge demanded where his mother
where his hume was 7" The question
was repeated again and again, but con
tinuation Of the same low means was the
only reply. The interrogation began To
shake the body roughly, a,trlbu,ing his ST.
lence 10 peeyIshness or obslluncy, as tho
chlid's face, seen by the light of the lamp
IN the watchman's hand, disclosed no want
Of intelligence, or inability to comprehend
the queries put To him. While this scene
was passing, an elderly gentleman came
up to the spot, and listened to the watch
mans reiterated questions. The boy still
gave no reply, and the wa,chman was sbou,
to take him away to the guard house, when
the gentleman cried, "stop for an instan, !;
give me the lamp" lie then threw the
light full on the boys face, aud repeated in
o gentle tone the same enquiries that had
been already made. The expression Of the
child's face satisfied the 1uciioner. Turn
ing to the wntchman the gentleman SAID,
the boy is deaf und dumb ~
The person who gave this decision, and
whom the duties of long lifa had well
qualified to give 1t, was no other than the
! Able dc 'Epec a man not less distinguish
ed for genius than for beneyolencc. This
man had at an early period Of his life be-
come convinced of the possibility OF IN
struc,ing 10 certain extent the deaf and
dumb-a task previously regarded as ut
terly hopeless--nnd he had subsequently
APPLIED the whole energies Of his mind 10
the subject. Ills success had been great,
and had won ior ham an honoured name
among the benefactors of hts species.-for-
tunale, indeed, for the poor boy OF Point
/ Neuf, that accident had brought the Able to
the spot on the evening referred To. The
watchman readily surrendered the child IN
to- the Abbe's hands at the request Of the
latter, and on his promise to make all the
due enquiries for the parents, and to give
up the young unfortunate, should they np-

general Sullivan had, on the arrival Of re-
endorsements from New York, called on the
states for aids of militia yet the delays IN
separable from measures Ia bring husband
men into the field as soldiers, and the diff
cultes of drawing them from their farms,
were such, that operations of. the last i'm
poriunce, exposed inevitably 10 great haz-
ards by delay, were necessarily suspended.
To avoid this was the more TO be desired,
because the success of the enterprise essen
italy depended on maintaining the superi-
ority at sea, which there was much reason
to apprehend would be wrested from them,
snce intelligence had been received that
considerable re-eniorcements to the British
fleet might be expected. An additional
motive for urging the utmost dispatch was
that every day the works of the enemy were
strengthened, and additional impedments
were sunk in such places as might ohstrucI
the approaches by water to their most i'm
portant batteries.s
As the militia of Massachusetts and New
Hampshire. who were principally volunteers,
approached, general Sullivan joined gener-
al Greene at Tiyerton, and it was agreed
that the fleet should enter the main chan
mel immediately, and that the descen, should
he made the succeeding day.
In execution of this plan, the ships of
war entered the channel, and passed the
BRUSH batteries into the harbor, without re-
ceiving or doing any considerable damage.

The spirit Of the nation was at this time so
high, that a great body Of volunteers offered them
selves for the service, and thus there less de-
lay on this occasion, and less interruption given to
he labor Of the country than in almost any other,
where large body of militia is to be called out.

TIE HON. WILLIAM p. BRIGGS

TIE HUN. WILLIAM L. BRlGGS.
The gentleman, whose name stands at The head
oflhis article, having been unexpectedly presented
TO the Geemen of this District, rs a Candidate for
Congress, in opposition 10 the almost unanimous
expression of IA wing convention, convened for that
purpose, it has become our duty 10 enquire, by
what principle Of patriotism, this new instrument
Of discord, is thus cast among us: and at time
TOO when our beloved country is literally bleeding
at every pore, and when, never, during the days OF
the Republic, were we so eminenly called upon 10
surrender on the altar Of magnanimi,y, all private
and clional feelings, and TO endeavor. in one
generous effort Of disinteresled patriotism 10 bind
up her bleeding wounds.
Our present worthy representative, Mr.. Allen,
having fulfilled all the just expectations Of his con.
stituens, and been seeced in the usual form though
with greater unanimity, as candidate Tor re-elec.
ion and as the breath of Islander neither reach
his public or private character. why should we not,
one and all, unite at once in bis support! Even
Mr. Briggs himself, il true to his principles, will
pause in his career. In the language Of concillia.
ton we cordially invite him and his followers to
rejon their friends.
why does the loco foco or Van Buren press fee
so sensitive TO The pretended injuries Of Mr. Briggs
Is it because it feels any particular sympathy for
that gentleman, or that, by tanning The embers and
thus widening the breach. it may expect to elevate
a candidate in the person Of Mr. Smith, who is now
pressed upon the district with zeal worthy IA
better cause.

sonai g ,od aoiiI or a compensation for Jarors.
It is easy to see that without any oath we
should give our votes in such way as to
promote the interest Of the country. We
vote for A because he will do the most
good, not because he is our friend. We
should not vote for b, though he may be
our friend, If his political principles are in
our opinion dangerous. Voting is polit-
cal duty, for its political effect, and the
feelings Of friendship and gratitude, have
no place. II We consider Van Buren,
dangerous President, we cannot vote for
his political adherent, though he were q
brother. This would be making our vote
venal, and allowing motives that have no
connection with the subject TO bride US from
duty; and the moral guilt is the same as il
we gave our vote for money.
The freeman's oath, like any other oath,
precludes all notions and all considerations
except those connected with the subject.
The witness is bound TO tell the truth, tho
one Of the parties may be his friend and
the other his enemy and any coloring Of
bis testimony would be perjury. The duty
Of the voter is OF the same nature. and
re quires the same adherence to principle.
The obligations Of duty az imposed by oath
are alike upon the eiector and the elected.
1t will be granted that if the President
swerve fom duty by motives Of friendship,
it would be great misdemeanor, but the
duty is the same in kind that rests on the
voter The judge who is partial in his
decision would be set down as corrupt, and
so is the voter that acts from like motives.

TRUTH OMNIPOTENT.

No editor in this state was more camor,
Gus in favor of the pet bank system, than
Mr.. Stone, formerly of the Sentinel, now
of the Castleton Statesman. But from the
following, in late number of the States
man, it would seem that experience has
been to him a profitable schoolmaster.
"These banks discounted upon the de-
posites and made large profits by such such
use of the public money; and 90 one can
fail to perceive that the natural desire OF
all the banks to be made repositories must
inevitably operate as a temptation to sup
port the powers that be-"
This is just what we con,ended at the
time. Experience has proved it, and Mr..
Stone, one among many, has the honesty to
acknowledge it. Thus surely does truth
sooner or later prevail. Therefore, be OF
good cheer, and hold fast to the true faith.
