terfeiter was riding along the road with far mer, and knowing that the latter had about two dollars and a half in good gold, contrived a plan to get it from him. He took from his pocket a counterfeit five, and dropped it in the road. Stopping his horse suddenly, the coun- terfeiter told the farmer he saw five dollar bill on the ground. He got off his horse, picked up the bill, and generously offered to divide the prize. The farmer gave him his gold, and re- ceived the counterfeit bill in exchange, with many thanks to the liberal stranger.
 Mir. Dye had press on the platform, and struck off a number of bills from skeleton plates. They were from genuine dies, with out any title. These were passed to the audi ence for inspection.
 The panorama next exhibited fifty on the Providence Bank, Providence, R. l. It is what is termed raised bill. The bill is genuine in every particular except the denomination, which was altered from one to fifty. The counter feitcrs probably did this work with pen-knife and pen. It is important, to detect this class of bills, to look close at the letters in dollars to see if it has been added
 Another bill represented on the canvas was a twenty on the Manufacturers Bank, Ware, Massachusetts. It was an altered bill, and the entire end where the word "twenty" occurs, had been extracted by chemical process, and the paper was left almost as white at it was o1i- ginally. It can be easily detected by looking at the end piece. This was one. dollar bill The 7" one" had been scraped of, and "twenty'' printed in its place, leaving a whitish appear ance around the letters. It can be detected by a roughness all over the face.
 Mir. Dye said it was folly to think of pre- venting counterfeits by having the bills red on the back. He thought that was rather an as sistance to them.

Sam Know Nothing off to the North.

 The above true sketch is Sam Know Notb ing making tracks for Yankee land. lie finds no resting place at the South-he is going back to the land of his birth History teaches us that, at an early day, in the history of this republic, there was a party known as the "Federalist," which, from an un- envable act of some ofits votaries, received the nther tacetious prefix of "blue light" and which afterwards became odious to the people for its "alien and sediton laws" This same party, under the motto of hard cider and coon skins" made rapid strides to power in 184O, was afterwards defeated by Polk and Dallas, and then, in 1848, became the great "no-partv party ofthe country. This mo- party party, re- ally the same old coon, then lapsed into abolition ism under the cognomen of "Black Republi- cans" Since, 1t has been steadily growing. and aded by secret machinery and dark lanterns, carried the North. Sam is now the boy. His success being so signal at the North, he was disguised in honeyed words, and sent to the South. He made wonderful strides here for tme-sweeping all the cities of the South like an avalanche But, finally, he had to meet the mountain boys-the back woodsmen--the veo- nanry, who were incorruptable. His success, or rather, shameful defeat, is known-it is of record, and now part of the history of the country.
 Sam is sick of the South. He cannot endure southern exposure. He is now going back to those who sent him. The above excellent cut from our artist exhibits the rapid movement of the Knight of the Dark Lantern" towards his more conjenial cline. He came south mere boy. His friends represented him as mere stnpling. It will be seen by our cut that he looks quite aged. The load upon his back did the work-bowed him to the ground The following is the song he sings. As its mourn ful strain may excite some pity for his prema- ture fate we give it in full:
 In Mississippi's lubly cline,
 I've worked from night to night,
 rakn' up a motley crew,
 To aid me in the fight:
 But the Lokey Fokio's smet a rat
 And de debe Was to pay:
 And such slashing did get,
 On de election day.
 CHORUS.
 Den carry me back to my native State, My native State once more,
 carry me back-O carry me back
 To Massachusetts shore.
 fixed my tricks-my signs and grips;
 Both Wings and Lokies war dar;
 Sam was afraid dat some would break,
 And so he made dem swar
 But twant use--one night we met,
 By the light of the silver moon
 And the dratted Lokes away
 Dey swar dey smell de coon.
 Chorus.
 De Soufs no place for midnight clubs
 Nor Yankee colored folks De way de sometimes treat us dar-- I
 Old Sam can't stand such jokes.
 So give me here my lantern dark,
 I'll quit this mournful vale,'
 And spend de remnant ofmy days,

ed in different sections of the country. We should ever guard and protect freedom of the citizens in matters of religious opinion, and the purity of the ballot box as we would our honor. and resist every invasion of either as blow aimed at the very cornerstone of our political edifce. If on the one hand we permit brute force to control the ballot box, and violence to deter the quiet and peaceably disposed citizen from the exercise of his right of suffrage, or on the othor, allow citizen to be prescribed on account of his religious faith, we poison the very fountain of public security our constitu- tion becomes solemn mockery and ths repub- lie cheat and delusion, whose very essence is despotism.
