A New Paper.

A new paper called "rhe Day Book" has
lately been established in the city of New York,
the ayowed purpose of which is to defend
southern interests and institutions The edito-
rial corps is highly spoken of as possessing
both talent and an intimate knowledge of the
subjects to be discussed
Such paper, located in such portion of
our country, cannot fail to do much good in
removing those erroneous impressions enter
tanned by the nortberner in regard to slavery
in the South.
Long may the Day Book flourish in the land
--edifying and entertaining the reople of both
sections ofour Union. We pred ct for it long
subscription list in the southern States.

old judge, turning to receive "goot dickets
fom scme of his German friends.
Sam went out and cursed till all WAS blue,
said hc had come thar to vote, and he'd he
fanb2rcastcd if lie want eoin to vote in spite
of al The Dutch in the township. So after
coo'ing of a little, he again went IN, and ten
drr"d his ticket, very neatly rolled up the
Old indge took it again, and notwithstanding
Sans dcmurrinr nnro1led it and looked it over
then turning to Sam, in manner and tone not
to be misunderstood, said;
81 tell you dat ish Wig dicket dat ish nix
goot; and dat we not take 'em any morel"
Sam again retired, cursing all Democrats
generally, and the Dutch particularly, and
assigning them the hottest corners Of the
birthstone region; and was going on to curse
every body that didn't curse them, when he
was interrupted by an old Dutchman in the
crowd, with:
"Sam Sdarrett, tells you vat it ish, ifyou
will vote der Dimcrgratic dicket, and leaf der
country, we gife you so much monish as take
you we're you cum vrom."
Sam scratched his head, studied awhile and
then said that as he had come thar to vote
and want goin' away without votin,' he gues-
scd he'd do it."
Again Sam made his appearance before the
judges and rendered his vote. The same old
judge took it, and looked it over quietly tnrned
to Sam and sad
"Iaw, dat ish goot; dat ish Dimergratic
dicket! 7" and dropped in into the box.
1t is only further necessary to say that Sam
went back to the Eastern shore at the expense
of the towship; and that election, and ever
since, that German township has been 0. X.
That is what l call "preserviug the purity
of elections. y Pcayune

IN its wane; and at this present moment, the
,igns Of the times ore largely in favor Of the
| american candidate. succeeding Mr. Pierce in
he White House. This party has one great
.dvantage which the Democratic party dogs
! not possess it has no Treesoil clement con-
nectcd with it for which it wishes to make sac
rifces, or enter into comp onls'es, ior the sake
of ing. This was a fatal error whiah
the Democratic party made at Baltimore, wh,n
the present inefficient Chief Magistrate recci-
we'd his nomination, and that error it will
again be forced into. The South, with all It's
Democratic fealty and love for organization,
viii not, We think, be so easily kept in the
traces second time, if another bred brother
Of the Frdesoilers is nominated for the highest
Office in the gift Of the people.
| The American party at the present time is
the only party which stands upon true nation
al grounds and upon which the whole South,
to a man, should unite. 1t is ridiculous-it is
in fact contemplate to insult ones intelligence
by ringing it in the ears Of the people of this
section that the American party, as PARTY,
is in any manner allied to the principle of Free
soilism-or anti-slavery, ifit sounds clearer
The letter of Hon. WM. W. Walk, in another
solumn, elected from the first New York Con-
stitutonal District, at the election which SCUM
ded the political death knell of that arch-on c.
may of the South, WM. H. SEWARD, not only
fully sustains the above assertion, but it shows
how outrageous is the declaration of Democra-
tic papers in this quarter, that the party which
recently elected their Governor in New York,
was immical to the interests of the South
The sentiments of Mr. Walk are the sentiments
also of his colleagues of his American party.
We say to the Americans of our parish and
of the State-"Be of good cheer!" The Ad-
ministration party being in the minority in
Copgress-the Intellectual attemps of the Dem
ocratic party to elect Speaker taken in con-
junction, is and event which brightens the sun
Of American destiny shadowing from the most
glowing and enlivening hopes for the future.
While we hear our Northern friends inveigh-
ing against "the plausible political villain and
Jesuitical philanthop,st whose hopes are built
upon high-sounding words about freedom, free
soil freemen and free States?" let us be not
the less magnanmous, patriotic and just, in
treaiing with iron heel upon the Southern sec
tionalist, agitator and dsunionists; and thus
joining hand with the tiue-heartcd men at the
North of elevated National feelings, wave in
every section the pronnd folds of our Amer
ican' banner, while the life blood of our hearts
is beating time ''to the music eff the UNION ~

Preserving the Purity Of Elections.

The Knickerbocker, for December, has the
annexed election story, which is us good for
joke as if it were true: =
In the Northwest portion of the State of
Ohio, in the country of Anglaisc, there is
township, the citizens of which are principally
German, and notwithstanding their sweet
accent" they are all Democrats of the regular
unterrified" stripe. From the time of the
creation of the country up to the year eighteen
hundred and tiity-two, there had never been a
Wing vote cast in the township spoken of, al
though there were over six hundred voters !;
but at the fall election 10 that year, upon count
ing the ballots, it appeared that there was one
Wing amongst them. There was the proof,
aregular stfaight-Out Wing ticket, and they
dare not pass it by. This caused great conf
motion their escutcheon was dimmed; there
was W.tg amongs, them; that blot must be
wiped out, aud with their courage dutch, of
courscD up TO fever heat in the shade, they
went 10 work s!yly to lind out the man who
had to vote the" VIZ dichet,' but.their labor,
were unsuccessful. In the m,antue another
year las rolled round, and the good " becplcs'
were again assembled around the election pre-
cluct |. had not b en- forgotten, however, that
AT the last election some one had voted the
WV dicket,' and it was now the subject Il
open remark and wonder.
While they were having an outdoor discus
sion Of tue subject, Sam Starrett, an immigrant
from the eastern shore of Maryland, came
along and demanded the cause of the commo-
tion.
"Vell, We vos wondering who it vos voted
the Wig dicket at the last election said an old
Dutchman.
at was me," Sam said, land it want no
body else"
al dinks not" said the old Dutchman, and
the balance shook their hea is ncrcdulously.
Itell yoa i, was, though said San, pull

to vote that (holding out the tickeD and vote

dependent American citizen, and I'll vote Just
So in he went TO deposit his ballot. There
sat the three old Dutch judges of election,
"calm as summer morning. and true to his
word Sam handed over his ticket, open. One
of the old judges took it, and scanning it
few seconds, handed it back toward the inde-
pendent voter, aud said
"law, dat ish Wig dicket'
swell, put it in the box" said Sam
"Vat you say" said the old Dutchman,
his eyes big With surprise; "put him in dc
