CANCELLATION.

We love to persuade men to act for their own
and their countrys good. The last Presidential
election shows that over million of Voters cas
their ballots for Mr. Van Buren, while larger
number voted for W. H. Harrison Now it is
conceded on all sides that many Democrats voted
for General Harrison, through error, anger, NOR
tlficatlon and revenge. The battle ended in the
triumph Of the great Whig party, who stole our
notices and enticed away our rank and file. A
new era has now dawned upon the people of this
country. Gen Harrison and his party by their
acts have lost the affection and respect of the De-
mocracy that voted for them. The leader sleeps
in his grave and new leaders like the SUCCESSORS
of Alexander appear to divide the Republic I'm
der such circumstances does it become us to re-
pudiate those of our clan who have been led
away by error, and who now desire to return by
the pathway plainly shewn by the light of reason?
We think not.
When General Jackson was elected for the
first time, did he or his organs inquire into the
former standing of those who desired to be admit
ted into his political church? Or did they not
welcome the returning prodigals with joy-put
their best robes upon them: and slay the faued
calf for their feast
We call upon our erring brethren to return to
their flag and support the principles which they
always intended to support, but which they unfor-
tunately left when they believed the Demagogues
and Swindlers of the last campaign, Our latch
string is hung out to the misguided pilgrims oil
the party and our altar has vacant place for them
TO occupy in the hour of return.
s'Come as the waves come,
When navie> are stranded;
Come as the winds
When forests rended
Faster come, faster come,
Faster and faster:
Come every tenant, groom,
Servant and maSter.''

measures of REFORM which the interes: of the Country

JUDGE SMITH.


In late Journal we stated the fact of the mar
rage Of Judge Smith, ofOhio, to his wife, from
whom he had been divorced in consequence of
his intemperate habits. In the last number ofthc
Journl Of the American Temperance Union we
find some interesting particulars Of this event.
The Judge came to Ohio with good fortune,
strong constitution, and happy family became
an active and successful merchant, accumulated
$500, 600, obtained seat on the bench, and was
most highly respected. But he fell before the
power Of Alchohol The sparkling champaign
laid the foundation of his ruin. From being
genteel, he became a gutter Grunkard, and often
hid under his own hay stacks to avoid the rcproy
ing glances ofhis wife. Unable to endure her
degradation and suilerings, she procured di-
vorce, and he determined to die. He drank his
quart and three pints day, suffering all the hor-
rors of delirium tremens. Lin this state, he was
met by that Washingtonian hero, Captain Turn
Ell, who in less than three days, induced the
Judge to sign the pledge. He restored
man, and, at a meeting in Medina, in pres
ence of 5000 persons, he was most happily re-
united to his wife. From that moment he in turn
became agent of mercy to other poor inebri-
ates, and in long tour has been tie means ofre-

during the late war. By way of reply, the Anne
rican Sentinel says awe know something about
the early history OF distinguished Senator, as
we'll as his present high standing in the country
and we take leave to say of him, that in all the
stations he has held from the day he entered the
Legislature of Pennsylvania, up to the present
patriot of pure morals, and of the first order Of
talents. We have watched his course for the last
twenty five years. and hesitate not to say, that we
know of no public man in Pennsylvania who
has more thoroughly met the expectations of his
friends, than Mr.. B. AS Senator he stands in
the very front rank. No Pennsylvania vi
