THE DRUNKARD,s LAST SLEEP.

A man Of confirmed habits OF intemperance,
who had been reduced to the degrading neces-
sity Of sleeping in cellar, the floor af which
was his bed, went into his subterranean dor
mitory, amply intoxicated, on Thursday after
noon, the 18th instant, and laid him TO repose
from the fa,igues Of the days travel with his
brother sot He soon sunk into deep sleep,
and snored away the hours for awhile; but ere
long he slept the last sleep Of life, and was
found, cold and dead, six hours afterwards.
Who would not shudder TO lie down, drunk,
and 10 wake up ia eternity. as this man and
many others have done

JUDGE GRIDLEY AND RUMsELLERs

1t is stated that case Of violation Of the
License law came before Judge Gridley, at the
late circuit in Oswego county. The jury,
without leaving their box, Immediately brought
in verdict of ofsguilty.' The Judge after hav-
ing il hlnled to him by sundry respectable in
dividuals in the village that $25 would be as
much as was usual to impose as penalty in
such cases, and would be quite satisfactory TO
allthe parties concerned--to which hints he
gave respectful and silent hearing-had the
prisoner brought into court, and imposed up
on him fine OF $3.50, and ordered that he
stand committed until lrit was paid. 4 tat

Ma. EDIroR:-

Ma. EDIroR:-
wish to direct the serious attention Of our friends
throughout the County TO an attempt now commence
ed TO divide and distract, and perhaps deceive them ia
the approaching Congressional and Senatorial Elec-
ton. Two sets of tickets have been printed in your
town, bat not presume at your office, for Senators
in one the name of E. Rice, the Democratic candidate
is substituted for one of the Wing nomners. and in
The other, the name of the SAME gentleman is replaced
with that of another, Wing undoubtedly, but not
nominated by our Convention on both Of the
tickets another is substituted for member Of Con-
gress. | am informed that great excrtions have been
made, and will probably be continued spread these
split tickets through the County. The danger is that,
us the first two these tickets are those Of
the regular Wing candidates, many of them may be
carelessy thrown into the box unexaminrd, by per-
sons ignorant Of the plot. Should this be the case in
any considerable degree, Loco Senator is ofcourse
elected. Now don't mean to say that the casual
election of Loco Spnat W. under ordinary ciTcumsisn-
ces is ANYTHING very alarming One or two members
of that party more or less in Senate perhaps
little consequence. But do view the principles up
on which this movement is founded with alarm
Whenever body of men unite for q common object,
individual preferences be yielded TO the judgment
Of the majority or else object requifing concert Of
action can be secured, and the whole purpose of an
organization is lost. More especially in political
party wherever the practice shall be encouraged, ioi
the friends Of disappointed aspiranis 10 direct all ihe
energies defeat the election Of the successful com
pettor for nominations that party must decline, ant
ultimately be entirely ovenhrown. No fair mindeS
can look upon such proceedings but with decide
reprobalion, and no intelligent man without mingnl
pity for their suicidal tendency with his Indignation
When the unsuccessful asplTanl himself, secretly, o
openly fomens, directs the opposition 10 the regu
lar nominee, it is utterly disgusting, for sel.ccncei
aud selfshness must be the foundation Of H. do no
suppose il possible that anything of the kind exists i
the present case. do not believe il. Bot certain oil
fcious friends by their Ijudged, and, doubtless unau
thorzed proceedings might give ground of suspicio
against those no ways deserving the rcproach. The
should look to II lo their own reputation, and iuluf
prospects, and all good Wings, seriously and disineI
estedIy attached 60 the cause, should look to il that
encouragement be given to any such fatal and ruinou

One OF the most specious arguments made use Of by
the Free Trade alias Lncooco party, against protec-
tive duties is that the price Of any given article is rails
ed jus; in proportion TO The Of duty imposed
or, in other words IL duty Of 90 80 per cent. be
taxed upon any article that article will cost the
sumer 90 so per than It would il no duty
were levied. "You cant tax an aricle--say they
without raising its price in corresponding ratio"-
Let how this argument will stand the test of
few facts.
The duty on calico by the tariff of 1912 is seven
cents the average running yard. According 10 the
doctrine Of Locofoco Free Traders every yard OF cali.
bought since the tariff went into operation has cost
the purchaser cents than il would il there
had been tariff Now every one knows that you
buy much American calico you please at the
manufactures for sir and screen cents yard. Just
peal the tariff and you would get your calico for moth
ing and have one or foo cents thrown in for every
yard you lookl This is reasoning with a vengeance
the only fault to be found with il is, that ii is almost
100 good 10 be true"
Coal is subject TO duty of Sl,75 per ton. The
price Of coal at The mines is about 1850 per onjus
repeal the tariff and the coal merchant will give you
