ANECDOTES OF BARON SREUBEN-Whep
the main body of the army of the revolution
was disbanded at Newburgh, and the veteran
soldiers were bidding parting farewell to
each other, Lieut.. Col. Cochran. an aged
soldier of the New Hampshire line, remarked
with tears in his eyes, as he shook hands with
the Baron, "For myself could stand it, but
my wife and daughters are in the garrett of a
wretched tavern, and have no means of re-
moving than"
"Come, come" said the Baron, "don't give
way thus. will pay my respects to Mrs.
Cochran and her daughters. When the good
old soldier left them, their CONTINGENCIES
were warm with gratitude--for he had left
their all he had.
In one cf the Rhode Island regiments
several companies of black troops who had
served through the whole war, and their
bravery and discipline were unsurpassed.
The Baron observed one Of these poor ne
groes on the wharf, at Newburgh, apparently
in great distress.
"What is the matter, brother soldierr'
"Why, master, Barron, | want a dollar to
get home with now that Congress has no for
lher use for me-"
The Baron was absent for few moment
and then returned with silver dollar which
he had borrowed. "There, it's all could
get. Take it,"
The negro received it with Joy, hailed
sloop which was passing down the river to
New York, and as he reached the deck. took
off his hat and said, "God bless you, Master
Baron"

regret to learn that some of the Doug
las speakers, at the meeting in Lamasco on
Saturday night, INDUCED in very infamatory
and improper language, such as would imply
the use of deadly weapons in order to secure
their rights at the polls to-day This we
deem one of the grossest outrages upon pub
lie decency and order the Dougasites have
stopped to in this campaign. We trust that
the good sense of the audience thus harau-
gued, will only incite them to increased Wig.
lance in preserving the peace. These ora
tors who have devoted all their time and tai.
ents, to gull the people into the support o.
their ticket, know full well that no illega
resistance of any kind will be attempted al
the polls by anybody to foreigners or any
body else, and should any difficulty arise, the
sin will lie at their door. We know that ar
extraordinary effort will be'mGde to preserve
good peace and order by..our citizens, who viii
frown with contempt upon any man who vii
counsel such extreme measures as we aer
informed were employed by the swindle adj
vocates at Lamasco Hall on Saturday night

NEW PARTY ORGANIZATIoN.-An attempt
has been made at Washington, under the
auspices of the Administration, to re-orga-
nize the so-called Democratic party. A
meeting was held, presided over by the city
Postmaster, which resolved shat the Dem.
ocratic party will wage unceasng war upon
the secret organization Of Know-N othings,
and for that purpose will form a National
Democratic Associations; that We will forget
political antecedents, and cordially invite
Wings and all others to join US in our efforts"
&c. So it seems the A administration desires
to break up old parties and commence on a
new basis. This we think an excellent idea
thought our ignorance of Known othngism
prevents us from judging of the merits ofthe
new platform proposed.

COUNTERFEIT BILLs.-Chemical processes
are now used by adroit rogues in changing
small bank bills to those of large demoni-
nation. These frauds are increasing alarm
ingly, and show that the perpetrators are
persons well skilled in chemical science.
So thoroughly is the work Of alteration
done in these instances, that those who make
money their business, and devoted years to a
critical examination of bank notes, are de-
ceived. Of course the people at large can.
not detect such frauds, and the community
is thus subject to innumerable impositions
OF the kind. The Northern papers mention
several instances of recent occurrence, in
which one dollar bills have been altered to
and 100 dollar notes, in a manner so jnge-
NOUS as to defy detection.

A New FEATURE.-Everything is turned
to edihcation and profit in these progressive
times. An ex-robber and burgler, named
Samuel Head, is announced, by the Roches-
ter Union, for lecture on his former "prc-
fession." The Union says of Mr.. Head:
In years gone by, he has been one of the
most notorious robbers and BURGERS in the
United States, and has broken out OF three
State prisons, and jails without number. He
says he shall devote the balance of his life to
leoturing on prison discipline, and such mat
tiers.

From the Wabash Express.
Popular Sovereignty.
DaHvILLE, Oct. 9, Is


Mr.. EDITOR: An incient occurred in this
country few days since Of sufficient interest
to redeem it from oblivion by transferring il
to the columns Of the Express.
Mr.. Hendricks, the sold line" candidate
for Congress, in one OF his speeches, having
expatia,ed largely upon the popular SOW
ereigniy" humbug, was at the close of his re-
marks, accosted by worthy Friend Quaker
somewhat after the following manner:
"Friend Hendricks, understand from thy
discourse thee is much in favor of popular
sovereignty Nov lift should happen that
thee should be beaten in this race for Con-
gress by Mr.. Barbour. thee would probably
regard it as an indication that the people OF
this district are opposed II the repeal of the
Missouri Compromise"
"Cer.ainy," said Mr.. Hendricks.
"Then, friend Hendricks would thee fee
bound, by the principle of popular sover-
eingnty 10 vote for restoration next winter!,'
Mr.. Hendricks, with some hesitation an
swer that he would.
"Well them" said Friend Quaker, tive will
try and elect Mr. Barbour, aud thus secure
thy vote for that very desirable measure"
Hendricks went home with a flee in his
ear. HENDRICKS.

SWEARING THEM IN. We learn from a
gentleman living at Petersburgh, Pike CO .
that the "Old Liners" have adopted a new
plan to enforce their party discipline. They
haul up all their weak and doubtful members
and require them to take an oath to supper,
Smith Miller. The leaders take the oath
first themselves, and then coax and coerce
all others, whom they can influence into the
arrangement.
This is the latest commentary out, on
"popular sovereignty"

az The special Washington correspon-
dent of the New York Times, writes that
there is not one word of truth in the story
about naval force going to Greytown TO
make demonstration against the British
Protectorate. The expedition is to be Of
another character. Mr.. Fabens is going to
the ashes of Greytown to discover the amount
Of damages, and take testimony relative to
the bambardment. Ridiculous If Pierce
would only let Capt. Geo. Hollins 90 with
a couple Of frigutes and a steamer, to the
scene of his former incompatible triumph,
he would have the glorious opportunity OF
meeting British squadron of double his own
force The fact is, Pierce is afraid to let
Ho!lins distinguish himself further for fear
of raising up formidable and overlapping
military regulating that in 1854 would blight
his own fair prospects for second term.

TUESDAYMORNING, :::::::::::::::::::::OCT. 10
Every voter to TN Polls!

This is the day for WORK, for unceasing
vigorous and united action of the people. -
In such crisis as this no voter should fail
to 90 to the polls, if he can possibly get
there. Remember that issues OF no ordi-
nary Importance are presented. 1t is not
simply question of who shall receive the
emoluments of office-Ir IS NOW A CONTEST
FOR PRINCIPLES.
In order that a successful blow be struck
today. by the Freemen of Vanderburgh, lor
national liberty and national faith, and
against treachery in high places, and inces'
SAINT slavery agitation, let every man go
to the polls, and fail not, as he loves his
country, and desires the perpetuity of its
free institutions. This is no time for discus
sion. The hour has arrived for action
Supporters of the anti Nebraska ticket, 90 to
work in good earnest. Don't stop to hear
ong-winded stories, or get into controversies
abont exciting local questions which may
arise during the day.
Let no private business keep you from the
polls ia this hour of your country's need,
and when she is calling loudly for your sup
port in the name of freedom; in the name
of the principles of our free institutions as
originated and planted upon our free soil by
the immortal CLAY. To national and patri-
otto Whigs-and ice knoto no Others in The par
fy-who have been insultingly conjured by a
hireling press to vote the Douglas ticket, we
,weuld say, "hurl back the foul insult in the
teeth of the treacherous clan of Douglas
croakers by an overwhelming vote for the
principles of CLAY AND THE COMPROMISE
MEASURES to-day.
Are national Wings, who cherish the me-
tmory of CLAY, DESTROYS of seeing the des-
TIMES and patronage of this great country
thrown into the hands of his ancient and
reckless defamers!
The proposition is as absurd as the impu-
tation of the Democratic press is impudent
and unfounded. But we ask our readers to
matk'th pitiiful appeal which the Douglas
ties are making to national Wings in the
name of him, whom of all other men, they
have the most delighted to Willy and de-
fame.
Out upon such hypocrtical mouthings as
these-and by your votes rebuke such beg
carly fattery and sycophantic insults. &c
to the polls and vote against the ticket, that
the Douglas mercenaries have forced and
packed into nomination.

Judge Hall.

The merits and dement's of our candidates
have been SO fully and thoroughly discussed
that every voter has already made up his
mind, for whom to cast his vote.
.Recollect that Judge Hall, the Peoples
candidate for Congress, is the emIodimen,
of the great national issues and principles
involved in this canvass. His position i:
known to be sound on every question, upon
which he will be called to act for the people
of the First District in Congress. His abili
ty,-and honesty, and devotion tc his coun.
'try's welfare, are undoubted and undisputed
Go to tse polls and rote for him, and allow him
him in no instance to be sacrificed, to favor
or promote the election of any petty loca
officer.
AS between Judge Hall and Smith Miller
there can be no choice to the untrammeleo
and independent Democrat but to vote fol-
Judge Hall. Smith Miller has once betraye,
the people of the First District, and we be
ilieve they will not again trust him witt
their interests nor their confidence.
Do your duty, fellow-citizens! to-day a
the polls, to yourselves and Judge Hall, an
the country will be the better for it, andyo,
will have no cause for regret. The signs o
OF the times are certainly cheering. Gu
friends who have watched the course o
events, are sanguine Of success. Let every
young man, who heard Judge III. say upon &c
'cephng his nomination at Petersburgh, tina
che soouH go to work, and that he ,couM bs
elect ed" take off their coats with the same
spirit, and he UiH be elected.

o. The following from the Madison
Courier contains STOOD for reflection" and
we expect to see the fruits of such sen,i-
mcnts on Tuesday next:
The true American is always politician
but never a partizan. AS part of the gov
erning power of the country, he is respon.
sibe for its policy, and is bound to exert his
political influence in behalf of what he con.
siders the right, and the true glory of the
nation. But he will act from his own con.
victions, not from the dictations of party
All political parties, from their very nsture
are liable to become corrupted; it is the Cit
liens duty to see that they do not corrupt
him. He will use parties as a means of en-.
forcing his political convictions, but he viii
be careful that they do not use him.

"points:"

banter: any man may bring two horses,
give me choice and ten feet, and then if he
overtakes me in one mile | am his; if not,
the horse is mine. Beware!
| am believer in hydropathy, and use no
