VOTEl VOTEll VOTEl,l

Voting in all elections, state, national, or
local, is Il privilege the exercise of which no
citizen canneglect without violating his duty.
1t is a privilege incident only to free institu-
tons, and to be enjoyed only by free peo-
pie. In all other countries where they have
approached to any thing like free suffrage,
the right of the citizen TO a choice in the Sc
lection of persons to fill the offices, make
laws, and administer them, is surrounded
with restrictions and qualifications. But in
our own happy land every freeman, twen-
ty-oue years Of age, is entitled to its free
aud unrestricted exercise and the voice of
the poorest man in the nation is just as poten-
tial at the balotboX as that of the millionaire.
There at least they all meet on terms of
equality. Free Suffrage! 1t is glorious
priviIege-secured by the wisdom, toll and
blood of our fathers, and no citizen can avoid
its exercise without proving recreant to their
memories.

c5Y" We cannot for the life Of us con-
ccivc what is the matter with the editor Of
the Chattanooga Advertiser. Knowing that
persons Of his peculiar temperament were
liable to violent attacks about this time of
the year, we have been trying our very best
to keep him in good humor that he might
cllcyosco with as little injury to himself as
possible But all our good intentions have
failed, and instead of approaching the kind
forbcarancc with which he has been treated
and improving under wholesome admoni-
tons and gentle castigations, he has been get
ting worse and worse until he has reached
II dcplorablc, and, we are afraid, hopeless con-
ditiun, For four dreadful" weeks now he
has been blazing away at Van Dyke, the
loudon Free Press" and "Athens Post"
without exciting any particular notice, other
than gentle pat upon the head; but the less
he is noticed the madden he seems TO get,
and in his last he isquite frantic Just because
no one will get ont ortemper with him or treat
his vapid and sensclcss articles about Smith
and Van Dyke with any degree of serious.
ness Such spleen, pcevishncss and pueriiity
is almost objectionable in one who has his
name hung up at the head of paper as
its editor and as the canvass is now about
over we would suggest to him TO make
mn eiior; to ease off little. like the mon
key or the pole, he has succeeded in exhibit
itng his more prominent parts to tho COM
munity, and the best thing he can now do for
himsclis to slide down, take to the shade and
remain there until the weather changes. or
he gets into more pleasant state of mind.

~ The Spiritualists Con the Rochester
PLATFORM of Illinois, are invited to meet in
Convention at Pennington, Fulton Co., on
the Goth Of August.
Mr.. J. Everett writes to The Spiritual Telo-
graph that spirits make themselves visible to
the bodily eye [of believers only, we infer in
Dover, Athens Co. Ohio, in addition to play
ing music, curing disease, and giving divers
communications, sometimes with the audible
human voice. He continues
SIN conversation with the spirits upon the
subject Of theology, they instruct us that the
first and the last, the fundamental doctrine.
is the belief in the existence, the worship, and
love of God; and of love to one another, and
to all mankind, without restriction; and that
salvation is the total remuneration of error
and wrong, and the reception of truth, love,
justice and wisdom; that to be righteous, we
must think and do righteously; that the Bible
is not precisely the book that many have
supposed it to be, but that from the beginning
to the end it is mostly compendium or his
tory Of the ministration of angels, or those
who were once inhabitants of this EARTH"

IMPOSING UPON THE Next WoRLD-A con-
temporary profers the following original sug-
gestiOn, in relation to sending mortals to
heaven, or any other part of the unseen world,
by way Of the gallows :-"What business has
this world to rid itself of nusances at the ex-
pense of some other world! We complain
of other countries for sending the scum of
their population here, and make it law that
every town shall support its own paupers;
and is it not then scurvey transaction, to
ship bad men to foreign shores in the I'M
known world! If hanging were humiliation,
it might be justifablc, on the principle of sacri.
fcing the less to the greater; but if it only
turns the man loose somewhere else we must
find out first whether he is wanted where he
is sent 1t is possible at least that he is
forced on society that have no more relish
for him than those who see fit to expel him.
We should have too much regard for this
possibility, to vote for capital punishment"

JUST RIGHT.-In Jamestown, Chautauque
Co., N. T., last week, the wife of a man weak
on the point of liquor, but otherwise of good
character, went TO a groggery at which he
was accustomed to spend the time and money
which by natural right belonged to herself
and commenced an onslaught on the decan-
tiers, glasses, &c, demoIshing large amount
of property. She was ably seconded in her
good work by female friend, one Miss
Gertrude Salisbury. This young lady was
subsequently arrested by the groggery keeper
and discharged by a jury. The jamestown
Journal says, "Gertrude is an intelligent look.

r1y" When the British fleet arrived of
New Orleans, in December, 1914, previous to
POckenham landing his army, the admiral of
the fleet sent his compliments to Gen. Jack

Christmas dinner in New Orleans.

~ As this is the last paper we can pub
fish before the election, we must urge upon
our friends, not only in McNlinn county, but
throughout the entire congressional district,
the Importance of having full turn out on
Thursday next. 1t is presumable that the
larger number feel interest enough in all
elections to 90 to the polls and vote; yet it
frequently happens that 4 good many neglect
This very important duty. One man wishes
well to a candidate and believes he ought to
be elected; he thinks he is well qualified for
the post to which he is aspiring, that his
views are nearer right than those of his COM
pctitoT and even desires his election; yet
this same man will stay away from the polls
on the most trivial excuse, justifying himself
with the reflection that one rote will not make
much difference, and if his favorite cannot
he elected without his vote she's gone any
how" overlooking the important fact that
another man may be thinking and acting the
same way, and another, and another, until
they amount to very respectable number.
And thus many important elections, involving
great interests are lost, just because of the
mistaken notion that one uOte front make anu
difference. Now, we insist that it is the duty
Of every man TO vote-an imperative duty,
which, as good citizen, he will not neglect,
and for failing to discharge which there is
no sort Of excuse in nine cases out of ten.-
It consumes 4 very small amount of time to
60 the polls and vote, and he is n very poor
patriot who cannot afford an hour or two
from his ordinary pursuits to attend to such
an important public interest; and n poorer
citizen who will lightly neglect the exercise
of his highest privilege. There is many n
man careless and Indifferent about voting,
who, if an attempt was made to take the
right from him, would fight to the last
gasp in its defence. Yet of what advantage
is it to man to have privileges that he ne
elects to exercised We repeat, that it is the
duty of every man to attend the polls and
vote. And we hope our friends throughout
the district, each and every one of them,
will bear its importance in mind, and be at
the ballot box on Thursday next.

NEwsPAPERs.-There is no printed matter
which can be introduced into a family that is
so likely to beget in children and youth love
of reading and study, as that of n newspaper
published in the immediate noighborhood.-
The passion for reading, like all others,
grows from that upon which it is fed The
young mind requires familiar objects in order
to call its functions into exercise, and give to
it those tastes for reading which prove so
beneficial through life. And he who can, and
does not furnish the means for satisfying an
appetite so salutary, is guilty of great injus-
tice to himself and offspring.

The BANQUET.-They had a great dinner
at Niblo's Saloon, New York, on Friday the
18th instant. The President and his Cabinet
were present. The dinner is said to have
been splendid affair. The Tribune says:
The President his Cabinet and suite, and
the other invited guests, entered the room
between SIX and seven o'clock, Dodworth's
Band playing the National HYMN. Mr.. Theo-
dore Sedgwick, head of the Committee, pre-
sided on the occasion. There were fifteen
regular toasts. If ali the speeches had been
as short as Mr.. Perce's the Dinner would
have been Of reasonable length, but rs the
eloqucnce was prOfuse, and not n little of it
of the stump-pOlitica order as TO topics-
there being much ofthe Union, of Free Trade,
and little Of arts or asthetics-it lasted till
hall-past twelve. Some of the speaking was
good, some bad, some Indifferent General
Davis treated us to Il Free Trade haranuue.
forgetting that the reason why we have any,
thing to show at the Exhibition is owing to
Protection.
We sat close by the two most eminent
men in the room, the occasion considered
We mean Messrs. Christensen and Gildemeis
ter, the Architects of the CRYSTAL Palace-the
men whose genius planned and supervised it
from floor to dome. AS nearly everything
under heaven was introduced into the politi-
cal harangues of the evening, we thought that
by some stray chance the names of these
eminent and splendid artists might be men,
toned, but no more notice was taken of them
than if they had been two hod-carriers. The
reason was, they were neither Generals,
Colonies, Captains, Lieutenants, Judges, Con-
gressmen, oiiice-hunters, or quacks-but sim
ply creative artists.
Such is the taste and enlightenment of New
York in the nineteenth century. We have
heard of the play of Hamlet, with the part of
Hamlet omitted--it was paralleled last night.
