~" We have heard enough of election news
from the State at large, to lead us to believe
that the democratic candidates are elected by
very decisive majorities. In our own County,
there has not been much of enthusiasm, the
election has passed over very quietly; many
of the wings and few of the democrats, have
yet to learn that an election has been held In
the County of Ottawa, not one half the num-
Der of votes were polled this fall, that were last
spring. The election of the Executive officers
of the State is matter Of minor import ance
to many of our people; the election Of two
township officers in each town, will call more
people to the polls, than can under any circum-
stances be induced to come up and vote for Gov
ernor and Lieutenant Governor We believe
and know, that this County is not alone in this
apathetic feeng-many of the counties in the
State are in the same predcament; the result is
that the successful candidates, will constitution
ally pass into the Executive Chairs by iaere
minority of the whole vote of the State In
our opinion, the Convention that revised the
Constitution, should have so arranged that in
strument, as to have others than the Execu tive
officers elected at the same time; if that Con.
vention had made the Offices Of Circuit Court
Commissioners and Notary Public elective, and
to have been elected this fall, and every two
years thereafter, the State would then have Civ
en- at least a third larger vote than they now
have, or ever will under the present arrange.

The ERIE.-The destruction by fire of the
steamer Erie, about nine years ago, is doubtless
well remembered. The immense loss of life on
that occasion, was calculated to impress the
event deep on the mind of the community We
learn from the Silver Creek Mail, that the wreck
of the Inflated vessel has again been discovered,
submerged at depth of sixty feet, about three
miles from shore, opposite the town of Brandt,
Erie Co. The hull has been visited in sub.ma-
rine armor, and was found in an upright posi-
ton, favorable for stripping operations, which
are to be commenced as soon as the weather
will permit. Buffalo Rep.

swered him; he looked around, but could see no one
lie spoke again, one replied, and again he tried
to lind out who it was that spoke to him; but in vain
lie called out once more very loudly, and the voice re-
pied in the same Tone 1t made him angry that he
could not find out who spoke whenever he spoke, and
always IN the same tone The little boy CRIED and the
voice cried; he shouted, that shouted he screamed
aloud with all his might and SO did the one hidden

MORAL. The treatment you receive IRON others,
will be only the echo-the return of your conduct
towards them. If you love others, they will love YOU
you speak kindly to them, they will speak kindly
Love is repaid with love, and hatred with hatred.-
Would you then, hear sweet and pleasing echo speak
sweetly and pleasantly yourself.
