ed to the al ual0rcm standard, according the price
they usually bear in our city markets. The facts
hero presented defy the Patriot to inyaIida,e in

EVERY VOTE GIVEN FOR POLK CANDI-

ton Of American Slorery. Let every man with
conscience remember this when he approaches the
ballot boxep Irmcn who style themselves demo-
Gratis willing to falsfy every profession they make
and vote for the enslavng Of unborn millions, let
hear nothing from them, for the next generation at
least, Of their democratic regard for the masses As
for the Wings they have another way Of mnnifesting
their desire for the welfurc oCmen.

THE CoUNrRY AND THE ADMINISTRATION
Occasionally we hear the Locofoco press tatazingy
excain, "What has become Of all the predictions Of
ruin to tho country which the Wings Prophesiod
woud belaI her if Mr. Polk was eected?' TO this
ready answer can be given. The great Wing meas
ure--the Tariff of 1s42-is still in operation, dlu-
sing health and impartng energy to tho Government.
The balance Of trade, through its inAaence, is kept
in our favor, and, instead of being the debtor to Eng
land and British nterests,we largely her creditor
Instead Ofhaving empty trcasury,we have through
tho Tariff, Treasury containing eight millions five
hundred thousand dollars; hat,as far as this meas
of policy is concerned the Government is conduct
cd on Wing principles.

fore, that you begin early 10 consider and
enqure, wha; is the proper course of hu.
man conduct, and TO form some plan o
your future lives The want Of such con.
sideralion is manifest in the conduct o. mul
titudes, The are governed by the impulse
of tAe moment, reckless of the consequence
rhev have fixed no steady aim, and havt
ladopted no certain principle of action. L0v.
ing thus at random,it would be miracle i
they went uniformly right. 10 order to you,
pursuing rgh! path, you must know wha
Is right, and TO acquire this knowledge, ,ysl
must dives. yourself Of thoughlless gidd
ness, you must take time for serious retlec
ton. 1t will not answer 10 aGopt wllhou
consideration, the opinions of those whC
may be about, for they may have SOM
sinister Design in regard TO you, or the,
may themselves be misled by error or pre-
judlce. Persons already involved in dis
,ipalon, or entangled in error, na,urall,
design 10 keep themselves in counenanc
ny the number OF followers they can seduc
into the path of wee. AS reasonable crea
ures, therefore, judge for yourselve
what course is righ, and fitting for you Il
pursue. Exercise your own reason inde
oendan,ly and inparlially, and give not o.
yourself 10 be governed By mere caprice 4
fashion, or by The opinions of others.

H.7VING ONES OWN WAY. IND
DOING AS ONE PLEASES.

Most people would be inclined 10 as.
'ert, unthinkingly, that no difference
existed between 'having ones own
way and doing as one peases, that
IN the two phrases there is Distinction
without ditlerence--yeI Psulding clear
ly proves The contrary, as The following
extract will show, to the entire compre
hension and perfect conviction, we
doubt MOI, of every Benedict that shall
read it,.
'WelI, but I suppose you have your
own way Cor all thal!'
slave my own way! what, dye take
me for stranger? Wasn't born, no.
oot born bu, raised in Old Kenluck; aud
dye think wouldn't have my way and
my say, if an earthquake stood on one
side OF a flash o! tightening on the other
and crossed their arms right before me
as much as to say, stand where you are!
Bot man may have his own way, and
yet somehow or other not do just as he
pleases, after ALL
Il don't see exactly how
No? we'll then, Pll split the for you
See here now, what ! call having my
own way is doing thing in ,pl'e of
what other people may say or do to pre-
vent me; and what | call doing as
please, is TO have nobody - come about
me aud put on their wise airs, and tell
me I'd better not, OF shall repent, or
I'D wish some day or other Ia took
their advice; and worry and fIe, Iei'
Ier's soul into kno, hole, so that when
he does take his own way al last, he
wabbles about like broad horn 10 su
eddy, instead Of shooting Iigh, strait a.
head, like all nature, and stler all, as l
said before, oas no pleasure in having
his own way

WILL YOU ANSWER?

The following questions deserve an
answer from ,he classes Of persons aIlu.
ded TO below. They are OF character
not to be passed BY without serious re-
Election:
WHAT ARE YOU DOING ?-What are
YOU doing, young man, you are daessed
20 neat and trim? Your hands appear
oever 10 have been soiled, and your bo-
som is without a speck or wrinkle.
| You never work, and have time TO de-
vote TO any amusement. Did you ever
ak Yourself what would be the conse-
quences Of an idle life? Do you wish us
to lell you? Go to the state prison or
to he work house, and see for yourself.
You will come away better man, We'll
e bound 10 say.
And y0u, SIR. what are you doing?
| You are often seen at The door of a gtog-
gerry. Know you not the thoughts of
many who see you? There is a young
man making fool OF himself. His
check, his eye, his words, his general
appearance, indicate it Then Why
not turn about and become a man re.
spec,ed2 Just turn over a new leaf to-
day, and it will be the saving o. you.
Persist in your drinking and loshng pro-
penslies, and they viii lead you down,
down, down 10 destruction. This you
know or at least you ought TO know it,
for 20 have examples enough before you
70 confirm the fact.
Wha, are you doing, you man, with a
cigar in your mou'h and whip in your
hand? On an excursion of pleasure,
hey You had better take The money?
you pay 70 horse hr and cancel your
shoe makers or your ailoI'S bill. Your
extravagant habhs will make a pauper
Of you, or something worse. Reform
TO day. Throw away your cigar, and
ride no more you are able.
What are you doing Miss Follyl No
wonder you are considered walking dry
good dealers sign, with such an abundance
If fRe clothing on your back. But who
lkes you the better for il! Would it not
1e as well 10 keep at home, and learn 10
sew and knit to sweep the 1oor and rinse
The clothes, as 10 dash about the strees!
Ask your mother, and is she has common
sense she will tell you so. Your neigh
bors will, we know. Who do you sup
pose will be able to support you'll you con.
'inue TO cut such figure! Scarcely man
IN Chrlslendom. BE wise then: dress neat
'yn but moi gautly. Spend less Time in
he sneels than you do IN the kitchen, and
you will never regret it.
TO all, we say, go suaight forward in the
path OF duty-turnIng neither to the rglt
nor the left. and you will be such person
as high Heaven looks down upon with a. =.
probation.

OF Trinity College, Dublin, though a We

a man standing in the court, with let

walked op 10 him gravely, and inquired
what he wanted. The man answered:

A BEAUTIFUL THOUGHT

How few seems TO have formed con
ceplon of the original dignity OF their ma
,ure, or the exalted design of 'heir creation
Regarding themselves only as creatures o
lime, endowed merely with passions am
intellectual faculties, their projects, aims
and exp ecia,ions are circumscrlbed to ID,
narrow outline of human life. They forget
that instability and decay are written az will
a sunbeam, upon all earthly ohjec.s-'ha
This world, with all its pageanny and pomp
and power, is crumbhug into dus,-,ha
life scarcely deserves single thought
excepting as i, forms the introduction to
another, and tha, he alone acts prudent OF
rational part, who frames his plans with
direc, reference TO that future and endless
state of being. Sin has so blinded the un
derslanGing, tnd debased The affection thai
men never fail to inves. some temporal good
with fancied perfection, and idly imagine
that The at'alnment of it would satisfy the
desires aud ill the capacities ofan immor
tai spirit! How liule do they know Of
themselves! The soul is not of The earth,
and they will strive in vain TO chain il 10
dusI.-Though its native strength has been
impaired, and its purity .arnished and its
glory changed it will not always be pri

and like the dove dismissed from the ark;iu
