A SCENE ON ELECTION DAY.

Mr.. HOLDEN: There occurred in our old town on
yesterday which we think ought to have a
place in your paper, which WILL we are sure, cause
many good Democrat TO nearly ''crack his sides .
laughing. And you, Mr. Editor, would appreciate
the joke much better if you only knew this emma
table Squire who acts prominent part In the scene.
For the last few days there has been a Captain of
one of small lighter boats at our town for the
purpose of having his boat repaired upon the railway
near this place. On Sunday last this Captain was
asked bv certain Squire of the town if he was a
Scott man, and if he was the Squire told him that he
would loan him horse to go to the nearest precinct
of the adjoining County, in which he lived to vote.
But that horse, he is awfuly poor, and the Captain
would have been in great danger while on his back
of being attacked by certain large bird common in
our County. To the question Propounded by the
Squire the Captain said that he did not know that he
could leave his work long enough TO go down.
There was nothing more said between the two I'M
Ill the afternoon yesterday, when the Squire saw
the CAPTAIN in the street and asked him If he Was
not roing to vote, to which the Caprin replied that
he did not think that they (neanlng the insPectors)
would.let him vote. The Squire said boot boot !!
boot! You have the right to vote, so come along with
NE. He took the Captain before the worthy lnspec-
tors and told them that this citizen of this,
the Eighth Congressional District, and he had a
right to in this County the inspectors, not
knowing the law, and knowing as they did, that the
Squire prded himself upon his knowledge OF law as
well as medicine did not wait 10 get the book, but
took his word for it, and at once decided that the
Captain was entitled to vote. But here comes the
aughaole part; the Captain, true to his couutrys In
terest called out for Pierce and King ticket, and
about this time the Squire vacated himself like a
streak of lightning, and the next we saw of him he
streaking down the street. his coattail stand
ing straight out behind him. In few moments the
mate of the boat come up to vote, having heard of
the success of the Captain, but 10, and behold when
he came the inspectors had the book sure enough,
and decided that he could not vote. The mate was
Wing, but he said that he would give five dollars
to vote for Pierce and King. This Squire is some
at swelling the of his friend and lessening that
of the opposite side, but in these tricks he is some
times caught The same trick was played here eight
years ago--some Democrats from the upper part of
the State were here business during the Presden-
al election, and they began to hollow out for Clay,
and they told TO come up and vote, but
when they did vote they remembered the interest of
their country and voted for James K. Polk.

The Pork TRADE AT THE WEST. AS we have

a decline in the price of hogs at the West. for the
packing season about commencing. In Cncin-

have been made for 900 hogs full prices. At
Madison, Indiana, about 5000 head have been

vicinity for several weeks. The Louisville Courier
says the packers in city have contracted for up

friends would not forget that, with hlgh-toned and
honorable men, the hour of triumph was always the
hour Of magnanlmty.
Such WAS the language of Franklin Pierce utter
ed to lis friends one evening last month, when
they called upon him at his residence in Concord
to congratulate him on the splendid Democratic
triumphs in the State elections in Indiana, Ohio,
Maryland and Florida The language worthy
of the hour and the man.
The hour of triumph Is or ought to be " the
hour Of magnanimity." The Wings have been
beaterl-badly, Overwhelmingly beaten They have
been annihiIated as party, and it would be al
most cruel to exult over their disjointed and
scattered fragments; but while we .forgice many
things, there are some which we ought not to for
gct. We ought not to forget their vile ISLANDERS
and fllsehoods against Franklin Pierce-their Sec
tional nomination, effected by the Seward influence
their devotion to party and the "spois at the
expense Of State rights and the Constitutional
rights of the South-their unworthy appeals to
the people in behalf of a mere military hero, who
was brought forward, not because he was consd-
cred qualified for the Presidency, but because he
was thought most avaiable-their unjust and al
most savage conduct towards Daniel Webster and

hope of success in the late canvass Let this con-

forever it is nevertheless our right and or duty tc
bear their misdeeds in remembrance so that in the
future we may know where to find them and how
to meet them.

ES~ We learn that there are several Counties
in this State from which full returns have not been
made by the Sheriffs Precincts have been omit
ted because, as alleged, they not returned in
time; and this too when, by the law, the Sherifs
themselves are charged with the duty of holding
tie election for President and Vice President, and
are responsible under penalties for dereliction of
duty. The vote returned from Halifax is, for ill
stance, 497 for Scott and 424 for Pierce, when the
actual vote was 526 for Scott and 1872 for Pierce
a loss to the Democrats of 20 votes. The pre-
cncts in Halifax which have not been returned, are
Webb's and Littleton, at which the Democrats got
So, and the Wings 20.
We learn, also, that at other precincts in the
State no election was held at all; and the people
were thus deprived of the opportunity to exercise
the right of suffrage. We hope that, in every in
stance where the neglect of a Sheriff shall be APP
parent, the law will be enforced; and that the As
sembly will take steps, if any legislation in the
premises should be necessary, to guard against such
results in the future
Under ordinary circumstances the omission Of
precincts would amount to but little in making up
the general result; but in so close contest as we
have just had in this State every vote is important
and ought to be counted. .
