crowded and j6efled by brawny men, and
not living soul to talk withrbut some red
hot politician, aud when night came and the
polls were closed, have we joyfully sought
the sweet sound Of woman's voice so sick
and tired and disguised have we been with
hearing the grating Of the hoarse, bolster
Gus voices of rough men.
Let the ladies come to the polls say we.
1t will be delightful to have thsm'pIdB 10 the
crowd, and throwing their arms around our
necks aud soliciting our votes for favorite
candidate, as many loving politicians do,
and to have them sit down on a curbstone
with us, holding our hand and talking pa
triotc love. O!it will be delicious! then
we can truly say "the good time is come"
Bling on the darlings then. There is moth
thing like bright eyes and calico. Well
90 in for them for "thdt's" the ticket.

The AFFAIR AT SMYRKA.-AHstria and
hs United Statss.-The London Times re-
CARDS the action Of Captain Stringham, 1t
Smyrna as likely to lead to trouble be-
tween Austria and the United States. Af-
ter rrecapilulating the facts in the case, and
denouncing the conduct OF the Austrian Of
acers for attempting to kidnap Costa from
Turkish soil, when the authorities had assu-
red them that their demand for him to leave
the country would be enforced by the Gov
ernor, it says;
"Nevertheless, the coercion applied by
the captain Ofthe st. Louis to the captain
Of the Ussaro, was o! the most direct kind,
and will Pl obably be regarded by the court
Of Vienna az an act Of hostility, Tor which
they are entitled to demand reparation
from President Pierce. In the present
state of feeling in the United Suites to.
wards Europe generally, and Austria in par
ticular, il is certain that no such repara-
viii b given"
The Times adds that there is want OF
power and determination on the part of the
Turkish government, and says that "reso-
Lutte governor would have fred upon for
eign brig, the captain Of which had dared
TO kidnap person from the land; and he
wouHd also have punished two foreign ves-
sells ptesitning to threaten each other
with hostilities' In the port Of third pow
er."
1t appears the captain Of the st. Louis
gave the Austrnns four hours to make up
their minds to surrender Costa, and in the
meanwhile laid his vessel within a cables
length Of the Ussaro, the Austrian, and
cleared for action. The captains on both
sides. it is said, behaved with equal spirit,
and were quite ready to fghtit out in Smyr-
ma harborj to which, as may be supposed,
the Pasha andth public strongly objected
The counsuls. however, once more inter-
posed between these bellgeren;s, aud it
was agreed that Costa should be Handed
from the brig and placed in the custody oI
the Consul of France, until further orders
could be received respecting him.
