THE UN0N WASHINGTON SATURDAY MORNING AUGUST a. 1852

in the day. at The close OF the annual meeting for the
choice OF all Stale and county officers but small vote
was taken-scaTcely third Of our citizens voting at
all-with the result.
There is bat little doubt that the vote In the conven-
ton on the religious expressed very nearly the SEN
menls of the people and had il not been for the other
extraneous questions submitted, and the high party and
local feeling elected at the time upon them this exceed
ingy obnoxious and unjust provision would have been
struck from the constitution. All parties far
have any Knowledge, now concur in this belief, and
there is doubt that the earliest possible opportunity
the question will be again. by common consent, present.
ed 10 the people with result consonan we trust,
to the enlightened tolerant spirit that becomes The ct
Zens OF the State.
Ii has been matter Of great surprise by Us TO learn,
by your line that individuals in any section OF the
try should attempt TO mrepresent the known and estab
shed views of General Pierce, and his acts in The
venon on This subject A denial OF them stated by
us is not only the assertion OF fasehooi, but the
on OF fasehooi point conceded TO be important,
where the truth can be asceraned with the perfect
ease and certainty, and where the unanimous testimony
of the two hundred and ninety members composing The
convention is one way. ..#
The course OF General Pierce in the convention. and
everywhere else, on this subject, has been uDiofm.
AT OF the democratic party OF Concord on the
evening previous TO The general election, he made an
eloquent appeal his political friends 10 vote Tor the
amendment abolishing the religious test. and on the day
OF the meeting again addressed the citizens, advocating
this amendment His remarks this occasion have
been reported by III. Hon N b. Baker, moderator OF the
meeting. in a letter 10 the Hon, John IL White, OF Wis
consin, copy Of which we herewith enclose 10 you as
containing statement this subject and OF other
important facts relative 10 the action Of the people upon it
Ii ia fact that admits OF contradiction here that Gen
eal Pierce has all occasions been the bold ani open
advocate OF the free right of election OF citizens to
any office within the gilt OF the people, without regard
10 their particular religious belief No honest individua
of any party in New Hampshire will deny this If the
contrary is asserted by persons in remote sections OF the
country il be accounted for only from the belle

SCRUBBS' MANEUVRE.
\ / + G. | 5 LATINE 5 ENE.
By L NCLE TOBY.

Mr. Scrubs was short t,thick-sit and phthis-
icky old chap, who had been sent to the leg
i>lature for five or six years. But Scrubbs
was some pumpkins, and if there was any
thing going on IN the house that required tact
and cunning to command success he was sure
to be engaged by the interested parties in
their bchalf,by some means or other Scrubs
had pair OF twinkling eyes, that seemed to
take turns in the visionary service they rem
,lcrcd. it being very rare circumstance to
find more than one of them open at a time
Scrubs could talk like book. and some
times when it was highly desirable to gain
time by delaying the taking of the question,
as to bill before the house. he could make 4
tremendous long one too-hrincinc in Bun
kcr Hill and Mrs kidder's Cordial. yorktown
and Lees Pills, Lexington and the Shanghai
breed offowls. In short he conld puzzle the
House and Speaker to such an extent. that
they scarcely knew what the question was be-
fore them, and certainly knew nothing of what
Scrubs was driving at in his heterogeneous
speech and COZ. .iomcratlon of talk.
Once Scrubs found himself in minority,
and very much interested in the passage of a
certain bill; he had carefully counted noses.
and found that four of his reliable voters were
away and could not return to their seats be-
fore the next day. What was to be done =
He had talked for an hour and a half. and
from sheer exhaustion was forced to Weld
the floor to the other side He heard his op-
ponents' argument, and saw its effect on the
House, and finally observed that the question
was about to be put by the Speaker. His
cunning was never at fault; just as the Speak
er's hammer ratified on the desk, preparatory
his going through the form,and he had already
commenced to speak, Scrubs jumped up and
said:
MIR Speaker
But that tunctionary would not hear him
indeed it was out of order for Scrubs to rise
at that moment
Mr. Speaker" reiterated Scrubbs, ,peeping
first out Of one eye and then the other.
Sit down, Mr. Scrubbs," at last said the
speaker, rather sharply.
'Bu. sir, Imust sreak, the fact Is

"Order. order :" shouted the house.

"Order order" shouted the house.
But, SIR - continued the inveterate
Scrubs.
The gentleman will take his seat" reiterat-
ed the speaker.
"Mr Speaker, there is danger
"Order. order ~ shouted the members.
Scrubs saw 1t was Of no use to attempt to
speak, and so raising his arm he calmly point
ed to one corner Of the ceilirg, and looked as
much as to say, you'd better hear me-" The
members were puzzled, the Speaker paused
in amazement. Seizing upon the opportuni-
ty, Scrubs said
Mr. Speaker, don't wish to speak to the
bill. but, sir. there is imminent danger hang
ing over us"
What Is it, what is it ?" cried fifty voters
following the still outstretched arm of Mr.
Scrubs with their eyes.
Il am told sir, that the roof has partially
given way. and YOU will see, sir, the big crack
yondcr."
Here was a sensible commotion among the
members, and several moved few steps to-
wards the door
Il propose, sir, that we adjourn, and that a
committee be appointed to inquire into the
state of the ceiling above, for am told that
it is not safe to remain here minute longer

nasa1 a,o., rg of those interested in the
District part of this ro~ = was heia at dorsey
Hotel, on Seventh street, las evening. Mr. a.
Rockwell acted as chairman, and " = - !. low
ers as secretary. Messrs. Brent, Towe.S Ill.,
and Lewis addressed the assemblage in discnsS-
sion of the merits and Importance of the proposed
road, and of the necessity of immediate measures
being taken to put the work under contract.
1t appears that large subscriptions have been
made by our citizens, but still it is deemed very
desirable, if not Indispensable that accessions be
made before beginning work of such magni-
tude; and it was thought that more of the nu-
merous property holders, on the line of the road
and its vicinity could be successfully appealed
to in aid of an enterprise of such public import
ance, and one that must make a liberal return
in a pecuniary point of view. The committee
appointed at former meeting were accordingly
requested to renew their applications for the ad-
ditional subscriptions deemed requisite. And as
the time has arrived when definite action must
be had, it is hoped this enterprise, SO important
TO the trade and convenience of the whole city,
will receive such substantial aid from our citi-
xens as will place it beyond any contingency.
The committee will report at a meeting shortly
again to be held.
