CHRISTIANS sHOULDv VOTE

The Nelo- York Evangelist makes the fol-
lowing excellent and forcibe remarks on the
du,y of Christians to vote. We hope every
legal voter considers himself good enough
Christian to take them TO heart. They surely
should:
The supineDess Of men in re gard 10 this
duty is very surprising. A Christian who
will not vote is, so far forth, a traitor to his
country. lfmen will not carry Christianity
into their politics, how can they expect polit
ical affairs to go right! Scarce a question Of
try can come up, but what would be settled
aIi9ht, if all the Christians and Christian Min
Isters IN our country would invariably vote.
We fear the cOnsciences OF many need en-
tightening and quickening on this subject.
But Il a mans conscience will suffer him 10
neglect voting without cbasIisement, il will
be loose cGncience in other things besides
that.
Men ofGod must pray more for their coun-
Try. But II It he duty TO pray, i, is also Il
duty to vote. What consistency is there be-
tween asking OF God the gift of good men for
our rulers,and then leaving 10 bad men the
whole work Of electing theml Or what CON
sistency beiwe en praying for good men and
voting for none! We fear that Christian
Ministers do not set. rs they ought, the exam
pie OF Christian faithlulness in this DUTY Of
voting. Thousands vote in our country who
ought not, and thousands do not vote who
ought. Between them both our deIresr inter
esis may be sacrificed

the county. On the day PANIED The MOTION
was made and argued, and after Nv or three
DAYS ef consideration on the part ofthe Judge.
(Buckner.) he allowed the motion, aud deci-
ded that. instead of hanging, Bird should he
burnt in the hand, receive on his bare hack
thirty nine lashes, and be set at liberty. This
decision but added TO the excitement previ-
ously existing. About 10 O'Clock that night.
sixty or seventy men from the county pro-
ceeded TO town, intending, as il WAS reported
10 hang or burn the negro, and inflict sum
mary punishment on bis Counsel and this
Judge. The latter had few friends around
him, well armed. ready and willing 10 defend
him at all hazards. After while. the party
from the country wee rreva lie ufoI TO Dir

morning the negro was branded and bippeG. .
and sent off to Bowling Green. That nIght

but hearing by the way that he was not there f,
they abandoned their purpose. and quiet was

We are enabled by the pOirenrss Of Il. II.
Andrews and William Hickox, Esqrs., ASS
essors, 10 present our readers with a Stale

the town Of Waterbury,. The change which
has been wrought in the aspect and impor-
lance of the place. when cDnirasted with lis
poverty stricken coalition previous TO the it,
PRODUCTION Of its manufactures some thirty
years ago, is like the comparison Of
'HyI eIioD TO Saiyr.'
Waterbury IS true eXemplidcation Of what
the American System has done rot uuIv for
lis prosperity, but as a general rule for al sec
lions Olour country, where mar aciures have
been judiciously located. 1t will be seen that
our agricultural productions, in amount. form
but mere fraction in the grand aggregate,
and that after consuming the surplus produce
raised by our own farmers, we furnish a ready
marketiOr all the adjoining towns around US.
Is this no benefit 10 the farmer 70 the miner
TO Commerce, the mechanic. TO the merchant
are net all equally benefited Most certainly.
And the man who asserts the contrary is un-
worthy of credit. Withdraw the shield Of
Protection and this scene of prosperity will
be transformed TO state Of decline-and of
course the whole community suffers. We
hope the sticklers for free trade will read and
reflect on the facts disclosed ia these statistics
