HARRISON AND REFORM.

THIS common, but extremely indefinite, and I'M
satisfactory term, is fully explained by the following
article from the albany Argns.
eve know of several instances in which wor-
thy citizens have been discharged from employment
because, in the independent exercise Of a right
common to every Americon eector, they have
dared to vote the democratic ticket.
Mr. John Gould is one of the most experienced
pilots that have loi long period ofyears success
fully navigated the Hudson. He is known aud re-
speced for his strict performance of duty his fdel-
ity 10 the Interests of his employers, his sobriey
and correct habits Il man, aud his worthiness as a
citizen. lie has been for many years resident of
this city, and the character we give him will not be
denied to him. He has always been decided
democratic, quietly but firmly discharged his duty
at the polls. Immediately after the recent election,
he wus discharged from his employment as pilot of
the steamboat Swallow, not, we are assured, for
an alleged neglect of duty, or for any imputed in
capacity, but because he had ventured TO vote the
democratic or 'Oco ioco" ticket-in other words
as he was told, because he had fulfilled the injunc-
ton to vote at the dclum Of his employers.
| These are the circumstances as stated TO us: and
we gave them as an act of Justice to the individual,
and as an exhibition The new predominant spirit
of federalism.
The vague term is now, we are happy TO an
nounce, distinctly understood, and the people can
all know, its meaning Let them remember it
well

have used royF in this advertisement for wood, Is

uouii in the way we have used 'roUid, but that
WOULD, took notion that rouid, woWId sound so
much like root, that nobody could tell the differ

taken of the same notion, to wit, that woH'j and

could tell the difference between lrouM and rood,
they both together, !, e. "o"Id and mood 'eoai3

PASSING NVIsANGEl

A man called at our ohac, the other day, and
compaincd bitterly that he had losta fine two year
old by the black leg, since Gcn. Harrison was e.
lcctcd President. The good man was greatly per-
picked to understand how such a loss could be al
lowed to fall upon one Of the ia5oriag class, after
= old Tip" was chosen.
We suggested that, in all probability, hi, " crit
ter" had not heard of the success Of the old Cen
crul--aud advised him,at any rate, to keep dark,
not let the rng get out, aud send on his bin I'M
mcdmtely to Mrs l!orrison's " konid,nlial Kom-

NEW HAMPSHIRE,

II is amusing 10 see with what bitterness Of ma
lightly and ebulnon Of hatred, the federal papers
attack the GiJrG7icr If Democrocy. The result
of the election in that State, they say, is owing to
the ignorance Of the people So far from thi. be-
ing The case, however, it is fact, ,ha, there is not
a State in the whole Union, in which the common
people are 50 well informed upon the subject of
politics, as III New Hampshire Every man is a
politician. Look at the delegation Of the State in
Congress As far before the delegation Of YER

were enabled to carry liarrison's own State.
lfsuch Developments as these, do not open the
eyes of the people to the coruplions of the federal
party, then, indeed, are they blind. There cannot
be the least question, hut that the most slupcndous

and dannug frauds, would be only declaring that
