A yVhig Voter Prescribed.

The Lexington Statesman relates
the following as one of the incidents
Of their late lively campaign:
A certain democratic young lady
res iding in Jessamine, who is a very
ardent friend of Breckenrid &c, got
the formal written consent Of a GER
tain young Letcherite, that she, the
said young lady, might prevent the
said Letcherite from voting, by any
means fair or foul. Pursuant to this
agreement, on Sunday night, after
tb e young gentleman had retired to
bed, she sent a servant to his room
and got all the clothes of which ne
had disrobed himself; going then to
his wardrobe she took all the rest OF
his clothing and placed them in a Sc
cure place beyond the reach OF the
young man. Ata very early hou'
on Monday morning, she, with anoth'
err young lady, placed herself on the
stairs down which the Letcherlte
must necessarily descend, if he de
scended at all, an! there the two la
dies sat all day, keeping their en-
Gagged bird secure until the closing o
the polls in the evening, when they
allowed him again to go at large
The consequence was that the youn:
Letcheritc didn't vote, and Brccken
ridges majority was increased on
vote.
