Gentlemen-It has been said, by wise
men, that the greatest sacrifice man
can make to any cause is to sacrifice up
on its altar his own prejudices and hisown
passions. This night | chcerfully sacri.

Mr.. EDITOR Sir, | overheard to-
day, two straight wings in conversation
upo n the present political canvass, when
one of them remarked, that the wings
could now do nothing. In this district
he said that they, (the wings had not
used Noah Smith Jr. right, and that now
they were trying to make amends, but
it was too late. His exact language,
was.-'Mey can't do thing Sir these
gents were influential men in the wing
party, and bound to stick !; and they
were at the same time aware that their
labor was vain. They can't do thing,
then hare not used their len,ier right.
Sir, this is frank acknowledgement
privately expressed, but it tells the truth
for the wing party. That They can't
do a thing they have not used their
leaders right, it is too late, sc, are their
own acknowledgements.
This was the ca sc with Webs ter, in the
National whig movement. They allow.
ed him to go over to slavery, and advo.
cate its cause, and then found that they
tonid'ni do a thing, that they mere too
late. They still sustain Fillmore, who
is pledged to the South, and they feel
that they can't do a thing, that thy are
too late. They are now trying to aid
the pro-slavery democrats but they feel.
the while, that they can't do a thing,
that they are too late.

snffer the mos st grievous wrongs and thu

It is in vain that American citize ms

[For the Ellsworth Americana

Never in this country has the public
mind been more fully cngro'scd, or &C.
cupied with a Presidential election that
has taken place since the formation of
our government, than now.
Every true citizen has been aroused
and is deeply mcditating upon certain
transactions that have taken place du-
RUG the present administration, which
are disgrace to our political character.
The monstrous inconsistency of Slave
ry in a free Republic might be passed
over having originated With the mother
country if there appeared the same de-
sire on the part of the people to remove
it, as was entertained by Washin gton
and Jefferson.
But when We see the institution eX-
tolled by the leading politicians of a par
ty, when every theory of social science.
and every text of Scripture is sous ht
after to support it, then it at once arous-
es our natural feelings of hight, and we
then see it as a stain upon the principles
Of our popular Government.
Look at Kansas and see where almost
every Northern man has deem expelled
from the Territory by an armed force,
and their doinys sanctioned and ratified
Ly tie highest dpthtriY---the .AdmiaiS-
tratiom IN poacer,
And when a Northern Senator S
stricken down at his post of duty by a
member of the House of Representatives,
and that action is appla b. nearly
one half ofthc States of the Uaion. and
gloreid in by the perpetlator, is this not
sufficient 20 arouse our energies when we
see that every such blow is aimed to ut
dermine the foundation Of morality:
Is this the boosted Democracy we are
called upon to support, followrd up by
bludgeon force
Their deeds in relation to Kansas need
not be rccounted here. They are now
fresh to the memory. Such acts would
disgrace the most despotic government
on earth. Why is it then that the class
who favor these measures, and with them
certain men claim to be Democrats pd'
excellence? What a hnmLug l love
true Democracy. believe it to be
founded on eqral rights, to the people
the fountain of power. Their acts
are libel upon its good name
they only consist in broken pledges and
violated compromises. True Democracy
will condemn and rcpudiate them all.
But the cloud of darkness which the!
have caused to hang over us is passing
away. The political horizon is bright
ening, and if the friends of freedom ano
the Union are true to themselves, W.
shall roll up such a majority for Ham III
on the sth of September, as will destro!
the last hope of this Sham Democracy
One thing is certain, as goes Name IL
September, so will majority OF thu
Union go on the 4th of November

We have received from Phillips, Sampson
& Co., " Vassal Norton" u Novel, by Fran
CHS 1arkman. This is a lively, interesting
and well written American story, much super
ior to the ordinary fiction of the day. We
chcerfully recommend its perusal to the rca-
ding public.
From the same firm comes the life and adj
ventures of Robert Dexter Romaine, written
by himself Who " himself can be we cam
not imagine. Every one, in reading this
book, will be strongly reminded of the closing
pa ges of Robinson Crusoe.' Like Crusoe,
the hero was cast on deserted island, but
unlike him, fair and beautiful girl of ff-
teen summers shared his seclusion from the
world. Romano, too, had his s. Friday"
but instead of his being a savage cannibal,
he was a grizzly bear from the Rocky Noun
tains, and his character, Is drawn by the au-
thor was quite equal, if not superior to that
savage. a side character is also introduced
by the name of Brevity Bill, who hailed from
Ellsworth, Maine. We would advise our
readers to purchase the book, and ascertain
if possible, which of our citizens has the
honor Of an introduction into the pages Of
one of the popular stories of the day. All
who love thrilling adventure, romance and u
little morbid sentiment, will be amply repaid
by its perusal.
The same enterprising publishers have also
forwarded to us two much more really valu-
able works than these, viz; " The Earnest
Man being the life and labors of DR.. Judson, :"
by Mrs. Conant, and " English Traits" by
Ralph Waldo Emerson Mrs Conant has
compiled her book in part from the larger
work of DIR. Wayland and has performed Il
valuable service for the reading public. 1t
is Il noble tribute to the memory of Il noble
Christian.
From the reputation Of Mr.. Emerson and
from a glance at the pages of English
traits - we hesitate not to say that this is a
valuable contribution to our Literature
Instead of the mysticism and transccndanta-
lsm which appear in his philosophical writ
ings, this book is written simply, plainly and
strongly and we doubt not to Il keen observer
like Emerson, of mon and manners, there
will be found much that is new interesting
and useful.
