CURwENsvILLE Bono AND PIKE TP.-There
was considerable interest, in political point
OF view, taken in the election held on the Goth,
in these districts. A friend, in writing to us
says :-''In the borough we had little opposi-
tion, no regular ticket being formed againt us,
and the Democracy only voting for Inspector,
with some half dozen votes for other officers
Consequently Our majority is about forty, all
through. In the township the Democracy
went to considerable trouble to form ticket
having prior to the election, held three con-
ventions to make nominations, and boastcd
very loudly that they had every thing their
own way. The result shows that we beat them
for every office in the township, excepting
town clerk, for which office we did not run
candidate. The vote Of the township was
large one for township election, l3S votes
being polled, out Of which we pollcd 75. The
majority for our candidates in the township,
was from II to % en- the entire ticket. The
fact is our party feel glorious over the result
of this little election, and feel confident that
hereafter We can hold them lerel in Pike town

The fate of the gifted Haskell of Tennessee should be
warning to all young men. He passed through Louis
vile last week. in charge of friends on his way to the
Lunatc Asylum at lexington While on the Frank
fort he arose. in the most eloquent and pathetic
terms appealed to the gallant Kentuckans among whom
he was protect him from the relentless enemies he i'm
agined pursuing him became so excited and violent
that his friends forced to cOnfne him. The career
Of this gifted but unfortunate of genius should be
known for the lessons which it teaches From his ear
Hest bOyhood says the Nashville Banner he has shown
himself possessed of the highest order of talent While
at college he distinguished poet and an orator His
graduating speech is spoken of by those who heard
it worthy Of the immortal PrentsS in his pal
miest days He served his country on the battle
field and in the halls of Congress- 1t was his residence
at Washington that confirmed upon him those unf0rtu
nate habits which finally blasted his intellect He at one
time broke the fiery serpent from his hands, and dash
ed it to the EARTH TO make his own reformation COM
pete and aid lifting up others who had fallen, like HIM
self he went through the State lecturing Temperance
The hour was an eninently successful and brilliant
one his lectures being fully equal to those of Cough
whose eoquence has electrified thousands this country
and in England But his old habits gained the mastery
of him again, and his subsequent life has been but fearful
struggle between his appetites and his ambtion-a
struggle in which, it must be confessed his appetites
craving for artificial smuants that even while deliver
ing his temperance lectures, he made use of drugs su
cent in quantity and potency to burn out the vaI Of
an ordinary man. There was no subject, whether an
Gent or MODERN grave or gay, upon which he did not
converse with fuency and eloquence. He passed. with
the most careless ease from the prooundest disqustOn
upon the doctrines Of the Bibe the religion of Con-
cus the Baconian philosophy, to the ghtest itera
ture of the day.
