The Coming Election.

The candidates FOR State Officers, fol
TWO Congressional Districts, and for Rut.
land and Addison Counties, are now pre-
sented for the support of the freemen in
the sections allotted them. So far as my
personal knowledge extends, 20 candidate
is presented who has not the ability 10 do
honor to himself and his constituents; and
those with whom | an not acquainted are
reported to be men of high Standing in
intellectual altainmenls and practical
knowledge OF men and their wants. The
freemen of This State have recently seen
the sympathy of the Democratic party in
Congress, for the"Working class" DEM
onstratsd in regard to The frllteriug awayof
most ofthe important features Of the pres,
ent Tariff laws. Will those who depend
on growing wool for subsistence, or those
who manufacture it into cloths, be any
longer duped by such sympathetic cries
Will you thus sell your Birthright for a
mess Of pottage, and be cheated of tina,

10 take such course as not directly or
Indirectly TO play into the hands Of those
who cry "Briish Whigsl Blue light

three years past, than almost any other
man, Of becoming acquainted with the
true principles of leading men ofthe three
parties, and think hazard nothing in
saying AS corrupt men are to be found
10 the Liberty Party;-men who would as
soon enslave their fellow men, as any
that can be found in either of the other
parties. And as soon as they can 10 duce
enough to give them the power, they
will transfer you to the highest mar
ket. II you desire protection 10 your
honest industry, and if you desire the sup
port Of the political party that will do all
that you could do. had you the power in
the Legislature Of this State, or in the Ex~
ecutive, tor the removal of slavery from
this country, your ultimate objects will
more surely be promoted by supporting
the Wing nominees, than by voting
ticket which you know cannot succeed
TO those who have observed the recent
Democratic Developments, and who desire
steady protective policy Of government,
a word is sufficient.

RAILROAD RIOT. The last Burlington
Free Press gives the particulars of serious
riot which occurred on the Central Railroad
near that place week before last. Itappears
from this account that the riot occurred be-
cause the subcontractors did not pay ac-
cording TO agreement. The disturbance
was not qlelled until the military force went
on 10 the ground and secured some of the
leaders, who had one Of the Contractors in
their lovely embrace.

An Elephants DOinys.

We loarn by gentleman who left Lock.
port on Saturday, that at noon of that day
an ELEPHANT b. longing to a menagerie eX,
bibiting there, walked ont of his tent to
wards n span of horses attached to wag-
gon. some twenty rods of. The horses took
fright us the huge beast approached them,
broke loose and ran a few rods to the angle
of f nee, the elephant followed, capsized
the wagon and threw the horses some two
rods over the fence. One of the horses
rose with several broken ribs, and managed
to escape his assailant, who fell upon the
other with his tusks, tore out his cntrails
and continued to toss him along the fence
some ten rods or more.
At this time the keeper, who was at din
ner when the elephant escaped from tho
tent, came up and called the animal by
name. The elephant Immediately obeyc'
the word, and followed the keeper to an or
chard about hundred rods off, where
was secured bv strong chains made fast t,
the trunk ola { Ill grown tree. Just as ou'
informant left in the afternoon, he heart
that the elephant had uproot, d the tree t.
which he was fastened, and injured man
but learned no particulars. The rage O
the elephant, it is said, was caused by som'
tobacco concealed in the food which SOM
ofthe by. Islanders offered him. People can
not be too cautious how they trihe in sucl
a way with an elephant.-BuGalo CONNER

Contempt Of Court.

An amusing incident occurred in court
room. some years ago, in one of the back
counties in Missouri. do not now recol-
lcct whether | heard it related, or read it ;
but any way it is too good to be lost. If it
has ever been published, beg pardon Of
the author of the original for using my own
words in giving a version of the matter, but
think it has not.
The court on the occasion alluded to was
seated, and a case about to be tried Now
his honor, the judge, was man stricken in
years, yet he could ride race, shoot ri.
fe, "shuf1le and deal" as we'll as the "ncxt
man," and when not engaged in his official
duties, was exceedingly affable with every
body. Indeed such were his manners, that
if he had lived in the vicinity OF Manhattan
without stepping over the strictest bounds
Of propriety, think can safely say he
would have been termed zone ofthe bhovs''
yet with all his playfuncss, when fairly
seated on the "rooi sack" he was like Mo.
ses of old, "an austere man :" and he who
presumed to trfle with the dignity Of "the
court" on these occasions generally stuff red
some.
Well, as was sayng-"his HONOR was
seated. and case about TO be comm"nc d,
when in voice of thunder the she riff pro-
claimed "silencc.' There was pausc--
the Judge looked up and saw an elderly
man near the lawyers table, who had not
yet uncovered his head. The court could
not brook such disrcspcct to the crminc its
dignity was asSaied, and his honor called
out i'm an authoritative tonc:>
"Mr Sheriff, remove that mans hat. -
That functionary, who had until now stood
in n corner leaning upon his rifle, stepped
up and politely knocked otfthc hat with the
nuzzle of his murdcrous weapon, whereup-
ON Mr. Badger-Badgcr was the offender
name-seizcd, not the Sheriff. but the hat,
and clapping it upon his head exclaimed,
"Judge, am bald I"
! "Mr Sheriff." said the court, "we in.
struct you again to remove Mr.. Badgers
hat from his head
| The order was instantly executed, and
no sooner done than Mr.. B. replaced the hat
on his head the second time, again insist.
/ ing that he was bald!
The offended Judge now waxed warm
and rising in his seat, ordered the clerk to
enter fine of fire dollars for contempt Of
court.
| Mr.. b. was thunderstruck He delbcr
atcly walked up to the bench, and laying
down half dollar before his honor, in n sol
emn tone thus gave his views of the case to

And diamonds all the sta OF night.

Then hear him with his graspng breath
For one poor moment crave,
Fool woulJ'st thou stay the arm OF Death
Ask Of thy gold to save
No, no the soul ne'er found relief
In gltt,ring boards of wealth,
Gems dazzle not the eye OF grief,
Gold cannot purchase health
But here blessed balm appears,
To heal the deepest woe
And he who seeks this book in tears,
HIS tears shall cease to flow.
Here He who died on Calvary's tree,
Hath made the promise hlest;
Ie heavy laden come to me
And will give you rest.
A bruised reed will not break,
A contrite heart despise
Ny burdens ght and all who take
Ny yoke, will reach the skies"
Yes, yes. this little book is worth
