In conclusion, Messrs. Editors: As five dollars

polls were kept open say 10 the Wing gentry OF

their Wing rain water which fell onlhe Isl Monday

and we give the following reasons: LIST. Because
their rain water would be useless 10 us five had

[Frqn. The Nep York Morning Ncar'


We find the following excellent remarks copied
into the National lnlelligencer, from The Gin.
cinnati Chronicle. Both are Wing papers, and
hold this language, before knowing The decision
of the great issue to which they refer We com
mend them 10 the Wing press and party OF these
ATTITUDES, as much more becoming to American
citizens, and men of common decency and COM
mon sense, than the violent and bitter inso!ence
against their successful opponents, which at every
corner of every street We hear them induiSinS IN:
Coon HrMoR iN PoLITlcs.
II was quite remarkable, that Notwithstanding
there has been great political excitement, and
MANY hard words uttered, yet, at the election yes
terday, there was perfect good humor manifested
among the people Of all parties. This is right.
Ii is manifestation OF both good sense and sound
principle. We are Republican people, and
the party that is up to-day may be down to-mor-
row Maiorilies fade into minorities new par
ties sec,s, and divisions In all this round OF
change each Individual should recollect that each
other has the same rights as himself. He should
recollect that his own fortunes may change above
all he should recollec that his character as man,
and a citizen, are more important than his char
acier as partizon.
As Republican, he should meet his fellow
citizens in the spirit of equal rights. AS man,
he should meet them in the spirit OF kindness, of
feeling. forbearance towards their faults, and
charity towards their motives. Had we thought
more OF this in times past and practised more on
the true principles of Christian Republic, our
political strites would be rather strife in gener-
osty and an emulation in public virtue, than the
brois of excited parlizans.
We say this, at the close OF an election, in re-
ference TO the manner in which victory or defeat,
(lct i, come 10 whom it may,) should be received.
No partisan of our countrymen can ever be re-
garded as enemies; and, therefore, no partisan
Should exut over another in the manner of enc
mics. We have right TO rejoice in the success
of our opinions and principles, but we have no
right TO embiiter the feelings OF our opponents
for they are our fellow-citizens, and we may need
their svmpathies and assistance in the common
concerns of our country. We know not who
may have occasion to rejoice over the general re-
suits OF the pending contest, but whoever il may
be we trust he will remember that all citizens
are members of common country and a COM
mon brotherhood of man. We are Wings, feel
ing the full sympathies Of Wings; but not on
that account we trust, less liberal and patriotic
in sentiment and purpose. We trust that if diff
ferences OF policy, or differences in the choice oil
men. continue the necessity for parties, we may
ACT as patriots, and walk together towards the
great objects which every Republican and Chris
liam should have in view-the welfare oil his
country, the progress OF Republican institutions,
and the elevation and happiness OF the human

Gentlemen: perceive in your paper OF No
vember the sth, 1914, that the polls Of Richmond
city were kept open for three days. | do not
wonder at this, because it might rain in Rich
mond. and not in the county OF Greenland high
waters might prevent voters from turning out 10
vote. in Richmond, whilst the sun may, at the
same time, lie shining IN his meridian splendor in
the county OF Greenland 50 ricc rcrsa. But,
whilst we attribute no bed faith 10 the citizens OF
Richmond for keeping the polls open there, We
well remember how the citizens OF the county Of
Greene were tainted BY many merchants of your
city, for keeping the polls open here on the 9Th
OF April, 1913, when the contest between the la
mented Gilmer and Mr.. Goggin was on hand
Citizens of Greene would frequently be asked if
il was raining in Greene yet? If the polls were
vet open If the crops were suffering? Ii it was
vet raining in Madison? &c, Sc. Do you not
see, that Dame Fortune has turned her WHEEL
And vel we do rot ask if il israning yet in your
city: We do not taunl those two Wing Commis-
sioners who kept the polls open, although there
is almost an infinite difference in the contest, as
to weight, though there was no difference as re-
CARDS the principles involved in either election;-
for, on the one side, we thoroughly believe that
we are carrying out the principles Of Jefferson
and Madison-lhose principles contained in the
resolutions of l7sS-'ss-against those of Alex

POLITICS AND STOCKS.

The reports Of the stock exchange are not ar
guments. They are not even evidences OF the
Permanent convictions of the class OF men BY
whom they are regulated Al the most they are
only weaiher-cocEs which show which way the
wind is blowing in particular locality, at Ger
tain hour of the day. In general, no doubt, the
prices Of stocks may be taken as sign OF the
prevailing opinion of merchants and others as to
the probable effect of political or social move
mems But the daily changes OF the stock mar
ket are the results OF uncertain causes, such as
the calculation Of brokers and the designs spec
uators.
Yet there are persons who seriously propose
the temporary fluctuations Of The Exchange Board
as evidences Of truth. They would decide the
goodness or badness of parties by the rise and
fall of FIVE per cent. A depression in the money
market is their proof of an all pervadins ADVERSE

MEETING or the MoRsloSs-Agreeably to All
announcement in The papers, Elder Winchester,
one of Sidney Risdons men, addressed meet
ing of the Mormons OF this city, last evening,
in their hall, corner of Hudson and Canal streets.
The attendance was very slim, only about thirty
persons being present, two-thirds of,whom were
females.
After long, rambling, and rather incoherent
narration descriptive of the early part OF Joe
Smiths career at Nauvoo, The Elder went on TO
speak of "vision" which Joe had ten days be-
fore his death. He and Hiram went out, he said,
10 the prairie TO call on the name Of the Lord, and
then Joe beheld in vision the tragical scene in
which he was soon 10 take part at Carthage Jail.
From that moment Joe was an altered man-he
los, all spirit and the elder said "his counienancc
fell" from that moment.
The Elder went on to argue that Joes death
was ordained Of the Lord, on account OF Joe's
lransgressions-t he did not apos,atize, but he
wrought denominations and was therefore DEEM
ed unfit 10 direct 1.-THE Kingdom" and share in
lis lriumphs. The lransgression was in intro
ducng the spiritual wife system" On this sub
ject it was expected that "the Elder would have
gone into The details and exposed il fully But he
coniented himself with general denunciation OF
it-said that it was universally prevalent al Nau-
VOC and that il was 10 free the church" from that
evil that Sidney Rigdon had taken a separate
Stand Elder Winchester called or all the faithful
TO come out and separate themselves al once from
their corrupt brethren at Nauvoo which was, he
said, doomed 10 destruction, and was fast falling
into decay on account of its iniqulies.
Altogether the Elders speech was rather tame
and did not present any point of novelty or espe-
cial interest. Ii quite evident that the death OF
Joe Smith has given fatal blow 10 this delnson.

POETRY.
From the Boston Courier.
THE FIRST DEAR THING.

From The Boston Couraer.]
THE FIRST DEAR THING.
The first dear thing ever loved,
Was mothers gentle eye,
That smiled as woke on the dreamy couch,
That Graded my infancy.
l never forget the joyous thrill
That smile in my spirit stirred,
Nor how il could charm me against my will,
Till laughed like joyous bird.
And the next fair thing that ever loved
Was bunch Of summer flowers,
With odors and bues and loneliness,
Fresh as from Eden's bowers;
never can find such hues again,
Nor smell such sweet perfume;
And if there be odors as sweet as these,
IT'S that have lost my bloom.
And the next fair thing was fond to love
Is tenderer far to tell
Twas voice, and a hand and gentle eye,
That daZzled me with its spell;
And The lovelicst things had loved before,
Were only the landscape now.
On the landscape bright, where pictured her
In the glow of my early vow.
And the next good thing was fain TO love
Was to sit in my cell alone,
| Musing DER all these lovely things
Forever, forever flown.
| Then out walked in the forest free,
Where wantond the autumn wind.
| And the covered bows hung shiveringly,
In harmony with my mind.
And spirit was on me that next / loved
That ruleth my spirit still,
And maketh me murmur these sinssong words,
Albeit agains, my will;
And walked the woods till the winter came,
And then did love the snow
And heard the gales through the wild wood aisles
Like the Lords own organ below.
And the bush had loved in my greenwood wall
Isaw it far away,
! Surpliced with snow like The bending priest
That knees in the church TO pray;
And though, on the vaulted fame on high,
Where stood when little child,
| Awed BY the lauds sung thrillingly,
And the anthems undeiled.
And again 10 the vaulled church went,
And heard the same sweet prayers,
And the same full organ peals upscnt
And the same soft soothing airs;
I And felt my spirit 50 drear and strange,
To think of the race ran,
That loved the sole thing, that knew no change
In the soul Of the boy and man.
