THE RAFTsMAN's JOURNAL,
HOW THEY VOTE.

The N. Y. Tribune says: "Every single vote
at and about the Jesuit College at Fordham,
from the chief priests to the boot-biacks, was
dragged out and polled for Buchanan"
The Pittsburgh Gazette says of the Catholic
vote, generally, ssit is of no use to look for it.
1t belongs of right TO the pro-slavery Democ-
racy, and there letit remain. There is sym
paihy between Jesuitism and Slavery which
draws them together inevitably. Like clings
unto like. Oppression over the mind, heart
and soul is close of kin to oppression over the
body. The Jesuits and the Shareholders are
of the same ki;b, and il is meet that they
should play into each others hands. Each
wants favors of the other and each looks TO the
other for help. The Stakeholder wants north
ern votes TO secure the permsnency of the
constitutions" and the Jesuit Looks with a keen
eye forward to the supremacy of his church,
both religiously and politically. In the late
contest the whole power and influence of the
Catholic church were cast into the scale for
the benefit of the Democracy. 1t not only
rallied its adherents into compact mass
for the aid of that party, yielding them, un-
der shield OF its peculiar religious tenets, to
the frauds and general dirty work of the cam
paign, but it contributed all that it could to
give color to the story that Col. Fremont was
a Catholic, in order that the odium OF that al
legation might work his defeat, thus making
merchandise of its own bad reputation. From
such church and from such a body of voters
the holy cause of freedom has nothing +,
nope. There is high wall and deep ditch
between us. Let the conservators OF wrong.
IN religion and politics, cling to each others
skirts and herd by themselves; the hope of
liberty and the nation is in the free, intelli
gent, freedOm-loying masses, who are neither
priest-ridden nor par:y-ridden.

TIE wHEELgARRoW WAGER.

Some time since, Maj. Ben. Perley Poore.
Of Newburyport, Massachusetts,, made a bet of
a barrel of apples with Col. r. l. Burbank, one
of the Fremont Senatorial electors of that
State, who resides in Boston, that Fillmore
would have more votes in Massachusetts than
Fremont-the apples to be wheeled from the
residence Of the loser TO the residence of the
winner. Mr.. Pcore having lost the wager.
paid 1t in the manner stated, namely, placed a
barrel OF the fruit named on 4 wheelbarrow.
and wheeled it to the fremont House. Boston.
a distance, we believe, Of about Sc miles
The exploit caused considerable sensation a.
nong the Bostonians. 1t has given them some
thing 10 make a fuss over. to call out he emil
iingtary" on, to make speeches, and perbans
to s'indulge" in, even more extensively. if we
are to suppose that Mr.. Poore's significant
hint, that he expected to be very dry when he
reached the fremont House, meant any tbipp.
What sight it must have been to see the old
stager pushing his barrow along amid the
cheers of ten thor rsao7 vi ---------
music, all the town digniSaries on hand, and
good time generally speaking, looming up in
the distance, Remarkable people, those Bos-
tonians In conclusion, we would remark TO
those among onr contemporaries who comment
on this as silly exploit, that we trust that
none of them have, during the past campaign,
been guilty of any thing sillier. Besides, if
all the bets which have been made and paid of
late, involved nothing worse than wheeling
apples, or no greater suffering or modification
than Mr.. Poore's exploit has cost him, there
would have been,we imagine, much less grum-
bling, and, perhaps, much plcasanter state
of feeling
