Frankaess-Be frank with the world.- Frankness is the child of honesty and cou- rage. Say just what you mean to do on eve ry occasion, and take it for granted you mean to dc what is right. If a friend ask a favor, you should grant it, if it is reasonable; if not, tell him plainly why you cannot. You will wrong him and wrong yourself by equi- vocation of any kind. Never do wrong to make friend or keep one; the man who re- quires you to do so, is dearly puschased at sacrifice. Deal kindly but firmly with all men you will find it the policy which wears best. Above all, do not appear to others what you are not If you have any fault to find with any one, tell him, not others, of what you complain. There is no more dan gerous experiment than that of undertaking to be one thing to mans face, and another behind his back. We should live, act, and speak out of doors as the phrase is, and say and do what we are willing should be known and read by men. It is not only best as a matter of principle, but as a matter of policy.

The lesson cannot be too often ;rculcated, that nothing save sickness can excuse the O. mission to vote. Every body knows what i,l- portant results have hung upon even single vote in the history of our elections; and yet there are always those, in the hottest contestsy who act upon the absurd idea that their in- dividual votes cannot affect results. We take the occasion, in view of the coming impor- tant contest in this state-important not mere- ly in reference to the present time, but to the great contest of l844-to point to and press upon the democracy of the state, ths old lesson which these and thousand other results ipculeate--that maiorites are only rolled up by individual votes--and that a democratic vote withheld is tantamount to t vote for the whig ticket.
