Editors Wedding Intslligener:-
Politicians are printing their last cards, post
ing their last posters, and preparing generally
for the ccnsummation of the great idea that has
perplexed their minds and levied heavily on
their pockets for the last few months. The
stump speakers of the respective parties are re-
turning from the interior weary and jaded with
inccssant travel, and hoarse with speaking in
open air and badly ventilated houses. 1t does
seem in one sense bad feature that this coun-
try must have such political excitement every
four years, when business is neglected religion
subsidized, and even social intercourse with
friends we love severed by political differences.
But itlsa mental revolution, not physical one.

ished at the tremendous meetings and unparal-
leled political excitement that prevailed in that
city asked some one after his arrival whether the
election would transpire without bloodshed?-
This undoubtedly seems to be the consequence
occurring to a foreigner. But such we know is
not, and we hope never viii be the case Sec
tionalism has existed to far greater extent
during this campaign than any previous. We
are not jealous enough of our glorious country,
we do not fully appreciate the blessings we en-
joy. Liberty is a word without tangible mean
ing-Freedom and Free Press are connected
with Free Treason, and the Constitution is de-
clared to be tinkling cymbal by one party. and
the source of all our troubles since its forma-
ton, by the other party. My dear sirs, is this
as it should be?
Last night was Halloween, and was celebra-

iety to know who are to be their future hus-
bands, tried the various mystic projects which
may of right only be tried in the witching time
of Hollow Even. We have not yet heard of
the result of any of these experiments, but
trust they proved amply satisfactory to the ex-
perimenters.
To-day is "All Saints day" and has been com
memorated in the Roman Catholic Churches
