The game played by the wings at
the Hast ElectiOn..ssPrivate and
COMl1deMtial, Circular.

We have frequently heard it asserted
that short time before the last election a
secra circular was issued and extensively
circulated amcng the wings Of this coun-
ty, detailing the particulars Of q plan
artfully concocted for tie overthrow Of the
democracy of Des Moines; but until with
in the present week have never been able
to get possession Of one of these precious
documents. 1t comes to us now, hoWev-
er, in good time, and we lay it in ertensO
before our readers, and ask that our demo-
cratic friends will give it careful perusal.
The circular is printed; and the copy sent
US is directed to a gentleman in the coun-
try, in the wellknown hand writing Of
one of the most oficious and rabid of the
coon party in our town.
We call upon the democratic electors to
mark well the language Of this circular,
and adopt such course as will prevent
them from being entrapped at the coming
election in the manner recommended. ssIr
is OUR POLICY TO GET ALL THE VOTES We
CAN FROM OUR OPPONENTS ron OUR CAN
DIDArEs, BUT ON NO CONSIDERATION TO
VOTE FOR THEIR CANDIDATES." says the
circular. No doubt of it, gentlemen; this
was your policy year ago, and will be
so in the present campaign; but now that
your schemes are discovered, we think
you may calculate on being less successful
in carrying it into execution than you an
ticipated. Those who are forewarned are
said to be forearmed, and the democrats
are now in this position. They are APP
prised Of the fact that at the last election
there was secra understanding among the |
wings to get all the democratic votes they
could for their candidates, ssba on no con-
sideration to cote for any Of the democrat {
candidates" and they know that their OPP
ponents now are far more active than they
ever were before, and doubtless intend to
adopt the policy recommended by the cir
cular Of last year. This is enough.
Whenever any one Of them is asked to
vote for one or more Of the wing nominees,
let him recollect this secra wing circular,
and his answer will be such as becomes

o. CuxrrMrTIRLE HoAx.--The Danvlle De

ment of great fire that occurred in this place on
the dav previous in which it was said that the
whole block of buildings, from the State House
corner to the store of II. .. Masser, was con-
sumed The fire, it was said orig mated in the
kitchen of Mr. Wharton's Hotel. 1t is needless
to say that the whole was base fabrication and
that there was no grounds, whatever, for such a
report. The editor of the democrat has since
informed us that Washington Gcarhart, boy of
about H. from this place. brought the report TO
Danvlle, and after repeated questions by num-
Der of persons, and with knowledge that il
would be published, insisted upon the truth of the
story. The editor was of course, very indig.

himself and the public, and felt determined, il
the law would reach the case, to have it enforced

A SHREwD YASKEE.-The New York Sun
relates the following auecdote of "a shrewd Yam
kec
"Some time ago the steamboats, running be-
tween this city and Hartford carried passengers
for $3.50, and charged nothing extra for berths,
excepting on Saturday nights, when an addl-
tonal half dollar was demanded for this accom-
modation. A live Yankee took passage at
Hartford on Saturday afternoon, paying the u
sua sum oftwo and half dollars for his ticket ;
and at an early hour in the evening he was OBJ
served sitting in the cabin, with his back against
post, fast asleep. He continued in this posi-
tion until tcctpe O'Clock, when he awoke, stretch
ed himself, gave yawn, pulled off his boots
and "turned in" to the best berth he could find.
As he had not taken possession of it until Sun
day morning he OF course, had no "extras' to
pay and as he had been "broken Of his rest
in the early part ofthe night, he was, OF course,
justifable in making up for lost time in the
morning. So he snoozed away until ten O'clock
much TO the dissatisfaction of the chambermaId
aud then took his departure, telling the cap
tain he had ''nevcr made halt dollar 50 easy
afore IN all his born days"

HERMITAGE ToMD.-4The editor Of the De-
troit Free Press, who recently made an excur.
sion to the residence al Gen. Jackson, thus
describes the family vault
"One Of the most interesting scenes about
the Hermitage, and one eminently characters.
tic of its distinguished occupant, is the monu-
ment erected by Gen. Jackson in his garden
to the memory of his deceased wife. The
whole, from top to base, is built of marble.
First, there is vault of circular form, twelve
or fifteen feet in diameter In the centre stands
pedestal Of square hewn marble, six or eight
feet high. and the whole is surmounted and
sheltered by marble roof In the vault, on
ono side of the pedestal, are the remains of
his wife, covered with marble slab, on which
is engraved a sublime description of her worth
and virtues. On the otEer side is place pre-
pared for his own remains, which is also cover
ed with marble slab, and on which there is
yet no inscription"

BettinK on Elections.

Betting on Elections.
One Of the most dangerous end dep'orable
evils with which this republic is afflicted, is the
general practice of betting on elections; and,
perhaps, it has never ragged more extensively
than during the present political campaign.
Asan evidence Of this, we subjon an extract
from the N. Y. Sun -
1--WE learn" says that journal "that at one
Of our first hotels, sums were deposited with
the proprietors in various amounts to $40, 900
on the general issue Of the election, and mcr-
chant Of responsibility, on hearing that person
had expressed willingness to be, large sum
on the result, leh word that if he was respon-
sible person, and entered into bonds not to cvade
payment by law should it 90 against him, he
was ready to sign the bet for S2O,Un. for.
tunc an amount which few can earn in twenty
years hard labor, hazarded on single game of
chance ! No, say the parties, it is not chance
1t is not hazard; we knop how it will 90.
But how can it be fully known, until the bal.
lot boxes are opened We speak within bounds
when we say that S5OO,OOO have been sakcd
on Pennsylvania and in subscriptions of mo-
ney, voluntary gifts, assessments, loss of time,
which is money, and bets on the Presidential G.
lection, it will cost the people of this country,
within bounds, seuen millions Of dollars
when the legitimate outlay should only be a few
thousand dollars for contingent expenses. If
gentlemen bet hat, or a coat, or pair Of
gloves on the issue, although wrong in ITSELF it
will njurc neither party; but to see citizens
with memorandum looks in hand, taking up
bets like jockeys on n race course, we feel that
great indignity is being offered to the purity
OF our elections. The danger is obviously ap.
parent to the safety of the elective franchise.
When men bet large amounts on the result of
an election, they are very much inclined to ex.
pend another sum, not in an honorable way,
to carry their point and secure their bets Then
comes bribery and corruption-,hen fraud and
violence and finally an overthrow Of our lbcr.
ties"
1t appears to US that every thinking man, as
the moment of excitement passes away, will be
rendy to admit the justice of the remarks above
dHu IL WOuIu Ue n InatteT OF rejoicing
it, from this time forth, all such would sternly
set their faces against a practice so fraueht
with evil. Never make bet and least of all
never suffer yourselves to risk SUMS of money
upon the result ofa political contest, as if it
were on par with horse race or cock fight
