Sampson Of old, can easily be overcome, even
by Philisline.
As an illustration Of this idea, we heard of a
little incident that occurred recently, OuI
West during political canvass.
ESQ. B. was a man, who thought his position
10 society, his good name and more Than all else,
his liberal education entitled him TO place in
the affections Of the people, and so, alter good
deal of managing, he succeed in getting the
nomination 10 the House Of Representatives
from the party to which he belonged.
Nominations are not elections in these days,
but Esq. B. thought himself safe enough, as his
party had large majority in the Borough, and
everything seemed TO promise him an easy VIC
tory BESIDES his antagonist had never been in.
side the walls Of an academy. What had he 10
fear nothing.
The day of the election came, and both can
didates were expected 10 make speeches, deh'
ming their positions, explaining their own views
Of public policy and mysIlying their anIogon'
lists as much as possible. Ii need hardly be
said, that ESQ. B. longed for the hour 10 arrive,
when, after having shown his great superiority
over Farmer A., the people would by acclma'
lion elect him 10 the place Of Distinctions which
he so much coveted.
The wished for hour arrived, and Esq. b. and
Farmer A. mounted the rosWum. ltwas agreed
that Esq. B should make the frst so, politely
bowling TO the large concourse, he commenced,
Friends and Fellow Citizens 7 and so, pro-
ceeded in The usual manner of political speech
making. He soon came to define his position,
and commenced with" The Tariff, genIemen-'

The Tariff Of louy.sx is a measure
which,
lis nothing but tariff, sir, it is scandal 10

the farmer, getting rather excited.
Esq. B. was. getting rather excited too, and
with look of defiance, he addressed the farm
er with peculiar emphasis:
'Am thus 10 be interrupted Z
DO you speak TO me, sir 2
Yes, sir
Well, sir, then shall correct you, sir, if

that sucked Two cows, and the observation

he grew.
Il is almost unnecessary to add that the ESQ

opponent of popular elections.
The polls were soon opened, the election pro-
ceeded, the ballots counted, and Farmer A. wa'
declared the Representative elect.
We hope he will be as good hand at Leg

DEFENDER OF WoMAN's RIGHTS. s.-The Rev
Otvle Dewey delivered lecture in New Yorl
City, on Monday night, on Reform and Prt
gress,' in which he alluded 10 the movement II
behalf Of Woman's Rights. He said
Il believe that woman has ben deeply wrong
ed by many customs of society. lis not only
among the Indians and Honentots that the sa
cred privileges of womanhood have been gross
ly outraged. Woman was not born 10 lose hel
own indemnity in the will Of another. l have
never felt willing, in performing the marriage
ceremony, 10 use the word obey, in reference &c
the wife. True, the Apostle Paul said, Wives
obey your husbands but that was in an iInper
feet state Of society and in the present age o.
light and refinement, we should not insist on the
command Of the Apostle. Wedlock is STATE
of entire reciprocity, and difference OF opinion
should be settled by mutual forbearance an(
love, not by arbitrary compulsion. Nor should
the earnings Of a wife be left in the power oi
dissipated husband to squander upon his vices
Let woman receive the benefit Of wise anC
competent education; let her pecuniary rights
be respected, although TWO independent proper
ty.holders in the same family may not be con
yenient; but let her not be taken out Of the DO
nestle sphere, to engage in masculine pursuits
