ballot box. The foreigner understands it; for
he too, must take tho oath Of allegiance be.
fore he can participate in the conduct of the
government We know that the writers on
Jurisprudence understand it; for they say there
is an oath implied in every ballot and we
hope that the entire people will ere long UNI
derstand that when they go to the polls they
virtually make a solemn vow to do what the
voters Of CT, and Vt. and the naturalized citi-
zen swear to do; and that is, to support our
national Constitution, blood-stained and ty-
ranical as it is; and to support it, not in such
parts as may suit them, but in its unbroken
oneness.
Remember that vote, that sacred vow? Have
you a right to take it, We answer No!

A YANKEE MATE.

Some time since the Yankee schooner Sal
ly Ann, under command Of Captain Spooner,
was beating up the Connecticut river. Mr..
Comstock, the mate, was at his station for
ward; according to his notion of things, the
schooner was getting rather too near certain
flats which lay along the larboard shore. So
aft he goes TO the captain, and with his hat
cooked on one side, says:
"Captain Spooner, You are getting rather
too close to them ARE fats; hadn't you better
go about"
To which Captain Spooner replied:
Nj Comstock, do you go forward and at
tend to your part of the skinner; I'll attend to
mine"
Mr.. Comstock "mizzled" forward in high
dudgeon.
"Boys," said he, "see that are mud-hook
all clear for letting go"
SAY, ay, sir; all clear"
"Let CO." said he.
Down went the anchor, out ratified the chain
and, like a fash, the Sally Ann came lufing
into the wind, and then brought up all stand
ing. Mr.. Comstock walked aft, and touch
ing his hat very cavalierly, "Captain Com
stock" said he, ''my part of the schooner is
at anchor"
We have enjoyed a hearty laugh at this
anecdote of Captain Spooner, and want our
readers to have an opportunity of doing the
same. Every one who reads it will see at a
single glance that the mate was a Yankee OF
the right sort, and was determined to do his
duty, whether the Captain did or not.
We think that the ship of State, is in about
as bad a fix as was the schooner Sally Ann.
The Captain is a Southerner, chivalrous and
hold, and therefore heeds not the warning Of
the Yankee mate that he is running the yes.
sci upon the shoals of destruction, but advi'
ses him 10 mind his own business, 10 attend

to his part Of the ship. We hope the nate
will follow the Captains advice; le, him
throw out the anchor of dissolution" and
she will be drought up all standing."-
Then, when tho best bower anchor has taken
fast hold of the solid earth, and the vessel
is checked in her course and out of danger,
he may walk aft to his Southern Captain and
inform him, that his part Of the ship is at an
Choir.

CONFESSION OF JOHN D. GouCu

SOliAN ~.
We publish on our fourth page the alledq-
ed confession Of this individual. Some of
the papers pronounce it a forgery. If it be
one, it is a fiction founded upon fact, and
true to nature; it is well worthy of perusal
and we commend il to the attention Of our
readers. 1t depicts in glowing colors the
unq%uenchable desire for Intoxicating drinks,
which lies like a s%mouldering fire in the bo-
som of him who has partaken deeply of the
bowl, and is ready to burst into a fierce
fame whenever the breath of indulgence
calls it forth. 1t faithfully portrays the deep
anguish Of the reformed inebriate who has
again turned to his old practices, and appeals
in words of thrilling pathos to our kindliest
~sympathies. 1t tells of his renewal of the
covenant, and in tints of glowing light pic
lures the glorious blessings which have been
conferred upon man by the instrumenhlity
OF the Temperance pledge. If this confess
sion be "a forgery, it is at least no forrery
upon human nature, but is a living reality.

are resorted TO, drafts are made upon those
who yearly ordaiu the Constitution. awe
the people" and every citizen of the U. S.
government who Is capable Of bearing arms
must act to suppress instructions if his SER
vices are needed and demanded by the prop
er authorities, for remember the peoples
Consultation must be sustained, or the peo-
Pies government falls, and the Union is dis
solved. They may not, many of them, be
called upon personally to fight in behalf Of
slavery, but by the act of voting, which is an
assertion of the rights of citizenship and an
acknowledgement of its duties, they solemn
ly promise to do soft their aid is needed;
and furthermore they are now individually
through their agents, the national soldiery,
armed and equipped and ready for this work
of death. And again, they may not often be
obliged to assist in the return of fugitivcs,
but when called upon by the U. s. Marshall,
their aid must not he witt h Id; and besides il
they sustain the law which requires the sur
render of fugitivcs, they are responsible for
its execution in every case.
Let every friend of the slave then refuse to
give his ballot-Promise to support the pro-sla-
very Constitution of the United States-to
surrender the trembling fugitive-to crush
the llbcrty-loving insurgent-to stamp eter-
nal disgrace upon the name of America, and
to nix the stain of slavery upon his own soul.
