ATTEMPTED BANK RoBBERY.-Oae Of The
Robbers Shot by the Watchman A great ex-
citement has been caused in the quiet village
Of North Danvcrs, by an attempt which was made
this morning to rob the Village Bank, which is loca-
ted that place, wl,ch attempt resulted in the death
of one of the robbers, who was shot down by the
Waterman in the Bank. The particulars of this af-
fair are as follows:
Some time since the officers Of the bank received
information which led them TO believe that an at
tempt would be made to feloniousy enter and rob
that institution. They accordingly employed Aaron
Bateman, as private Waterman, and placed him,
well armed, in the bank, with Instructions to pre-
serve their property at all hazards. Between two
and three O'Clock this morning, Mr. Bateman heard
some persons at work at the door. He discovered
them to be fellow named j. c. Page, and three
others, whose names he could not ascertain. Mr..
Bateman hailed them, and ordered them off. They
replied that they were determined to come into the
bank at all hazards, and that if he opposed them his
| life must pay the forfeit
The robbers then began to press against the door,
which is partly of glass, and has no shutters. Mr.
Bateman again demonstrated with them, declaring
that he was armed and should shoot down the first
one who attempted to enter. They still continued
their efforts TO break down the door, when Mr. Bate
man discharged his pistol among them, and they i'm
mediately fed. One of them, however, had pro-
ceeded but few steps across the street, when he
staggered and fell to the ground. The others jump
ed into carriage and escaped.
The place where the wounded man fell was be-
meath apple-tree, directly in front of the dwelling
of Mr.. John Page, a very worthy and respectable
citizen of Danvers. Mr.. Page was awakened by the
report of the pistol, and came out to ascertain the
cause He returned to the house, and on coming
out the second time, discovered the body. On ex-
aiming it he found that it ,cas his olca son BY
the aid of his son-n-law, Mr.. Weston, the Cashier
othe Bank he carried the body into the house where
after lying few moments senseless, the wounded
man breathed--hi last.
The deceased was 43 years of age, and was un-
married. He VAS formerly ck-maker, but fol
the last few years has been irregular in his habits
OF late he has been steady and hopes were en-
tertalned that he had reformed.
Some time ago the keys of the Bank were stoler
from the Cashiers residence, and the bag in which
they were kept was filed with spikes The locks in
the Bank were Immediately changed, and the de-
sign of the thief was frustrated 1t is suspected thai
Page the thief
| 1t is rumored that Pages accomplices are known
and that the Police are i'll pursuit of them.

The Ballot Box.

As the day approaches which the people shall ut
ter their sovereign voice the polls, the presses of
the factions become more and more loud in their en-
deavors to influence the popular vote, and more and
more frantic in their representations and appeals for suf
fraSes All the old party tricks are brought into
QUESTION. Facts are distorted. Charges that have
been often contoverted and eued are again and again
resusltated, modified and renewed against men. Fears
interests prejudces,and passions all appealed to. in
their worst forms, and through the worst media. Fac
ton and party are struggling with all their vile energy
TO perver the nobet instincts and institutions of lber
ty to their own purposes and ends But the people,
though they may be sometimes wrong in their opinions.
are never long mistaken in their sentiments and these
appeals OF faction destined to utterly fail of their
aim and purpose. The question that now e1grosc the
popular mind, isnot question of party of faction,
but question of liberty, of JUSTICE of humanity. The
question that is 50 soon to be adudicated the
Ballot Box, is not mere proposition of politics, but it
is question of right Of TRUTH and of vital democracy.
The vote of republican freeman is the sceCtre of
his sovereignty. 1t is his will expressing itself in the
form and with the power of law. 1t is his honor and
truth, or is his treason nfsing itself into legislation
Men of New England Sons of the Pilgrim Fathers,
shall your votes endorse the treasons that have
been pepetrated against repubcanism by the legisa-
ture and executive? viii you consent to sustain par
ties and interests, at the expense of all our fathers low
ed, suffered and died for! The opinions of commerce
are too often influenced by her interests; it is the indie
pendent freeman who tls the SOIL that has through all
ages, maintained liberty. Let our ballot boxes speak
for the great holy principles of justice and freedom 1t

1t is thus that they should ever speak in dear r-
