p65@ The Patriot has published but one half,
and the least important part of Mr.. Bells speech to
the boys in the Market House, but says:
I" The remainder of the speech was more esps-
cislly devoted to exposition of the of poll
ey, which has been from time to time pursued by
the leaders of the Democratic party; and was not
inferior to the first part in the matter of ability
and power. 1t was a prolific theme to the great
mind of the experienced speaker and its treatment
was in every way fully commensurate with the sub
ject. We cherish the hope at some future time Of be-
ing able to lay this part Of it, before the country"
We can inform the Patriot that the realization of
its "hOpe" depends altogether upon the complexion
of the Legislature. If it should be Democratic
as it will be if the people come out and vOte-it
will never have the pleasure of laying this part of
the speech before the country. If, by any chance,
the Know Nothings should carry the Legislature,
the distinguished Senator may consent to have it
published. Unfortunately for Mr.. Bell but fortu-
natcly for the State, every body understands him.

CONVICTION AND SENTENCE FOR POISONING IN YER
MoNT.-The Vermont Caledonian gives the particu-
lars of the conviction and sentence of Nathaniel H.
Stiles for attempt to poison Charles L. Fairbro-
Their. The evidence showed very extraordinary
state of facts. George Sulham, an accomplish, who
the principal witness, testified that Stiles put
drachm and half of strychnine into half pint OF
gin, the whole of which was drank by Fairbrother.
The dose was large enough to kill forty men 1t
seems, remarks the editor of the CGLedonidn, to
have affected Fairbrother quite unpleasantly-in
fact it ''set heavy" his stomach made him faint
and finally obliged him, at the expiration of four
hours and half, to take an emetie to relieve him
from the burden. Suham's testimony was so far
cOrrOborated by other evidence to insure the
viction of Stiles, but what kind of stomach man
has who can swallow a drachm and half of strych-
nine with impunity we not Psychologist enough
to guess Stiles was sentenced to the State prison
for seven years.

MR. HAKroN AS A LEGIsLATOR.

We think we have successfully shown, so far as
his official record can determine, that there was
never more impracticable, unsafe and dangerous
legislator in the State than the KnOwNothing can
didate for Governor. Wehave not cOntented Ourself
with bare assertion upon matters so grave, but have
subsaniated our charges with facts from the Jour-
nal of the House, which cannot be questioned.
To these charges but one defence has been made
that some unwary Democrats were occasionally
found with him in his votes upon these questions 1t
seems to be regarded as amply apology in Know
Notbing estimation that Mr.. Hatton should have
Democratic hackers 1t is certainly the best apology
that could be offered, and poor one at that. Mr..
Hatton, though a schOOl-bOy politician, is man in
wears. and must stand upon his own bottom. That
Democrats were found in his company in some Of
his numerous bad votes is to their discredt not to
his advantage. If Mr. Hatton had adhered to his
Democratic associates in all his votes he would have
had very different record and some things to have
been proud of; but.the misfortune is that Mr. Hat
ton only voted with Democrats who CHANGED to get
qrrong, and was always against Thorn when they
naturally got right
We desire to remind the public that those charges
against Mr. Hatton have no defence. They are the
simple truths of history and must, therefore, so
unanswered. And those who support him, must do
so knowing of his unftness for the position Of
Governor, and reckless of the consequences to the
public veal When the time comes that majority
of the people, in whose hands are the great rights
Of sovereignty, shall exercise it so careessy as to
disregard all fitness for the high Offices of the State
and follow the mere prejudoes of partiEan bias,
H. ill Ia M safety in the public welfare, and no
certainty in the continuance OF our institutions

COME OFT TO THE POLLS

The victory is certainly ours if our democratic
friends will only come out to the polls and measure
their full strength with their adversaries. No man
should stay at home, because he regards the contest
virtually decided by our majority last year. Con-
tinued exerton is necessary TO maintain ascend
ency. In cur republican Government, where cleo
tons are frequent, it is easy to fritter away the
strength of great and triumphant party by over
confidence or apathy. Let democrats remember that
the party opposed to them is the very same which
conspired in secret to break up their organization
and to destroy their prestige. Let them not forget
how nObly they aroused themselves to the glorious
work of crushing out the secret and oath bound
feature of this organization of Know Nothings and
that little success now would encourage them
longer to tamper with the intelligence of the peO-
pie and disseminate their odous heresies Let every
democrat then do his whole duty by going to the
polls md dispositing his vote and by inducing his
lukewarm neighbor to do ikewise.-Memphis Ap-

E&r There is an interesting canvass going on in
Rutherford for the Legislature, between Mr.. Woods
Democrat, and DR.. Richardson, KnOw-Nothing.
We notice that the only fault found by the Know
Nothings with Mr.. Woods, is that he does not make
speeches We have learnt to be surprised at no in
consistency of KnOw-NOthingism, or we might refer
to the fact that of the strongest considerations
urged in behalf of that faction when started was
that it was to do away with all electOneering for
ofice-"the Office to seek the man and not the man
the Office"
find DR.. Richardson's greatest merit to be- that he is
personally seeking office, and their only objection
to Mr. Woods is that he refuses to to eeetioneer for
office! What a wretched set of hypOcrites these
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS are

Mr.. MARCYs HABITS AND DEArH-The Boston
correspondent of the New York Evening Post, in
speaking of Mr.. Marcy's death, says:
Hence, during the last few weeks of his life when
he had a worldwide and honorable reputation
when his circumstances were such as to allow him
to rest upon the honors which he had acquired he
was in his happiest condition. His old books and
his old friends were his constant solace and when
he stopped at the antique, shaded hotel Ballson
where he died, it was noticed how he would take
his chair out under the wide spreading elms and
entertain his landlord and the plain old fashioned
people who gathered about him, delighted with the
pleasant stories which he told and the philosophc hu-
NOR, and shrewdness, and social feeling which
twinkled in his keen, bright eye.
At other times he would return to his room, his
custom was, and taking up some fayoraite old au-
thor-(he rarely read modern literature Milton,
Shakespeare, Hervey, among the poets South, Barry,
or Robert Hall among divines; his French edition
of Machiaveli, Ia favorte work, by the way, with
Senator Sewsrd) or Bacon among philosophic writ
ings-would read until he fell asleep. And this,
indeed, was the way in which he fell asleep on the
noon of Independence Day. He had retired to
his chamber, put his boots in the usual corner put
on his dressing-grown, and lying down with edi-
ton of BacOn's Essays small red quarto volume,
with illustrations. When he was found he was
still on his bed, his eyes quietly closed
side were his spectacles, the other the well-re
membered nuf-box, and open on his breast lay the
book he so much loved-that immortal epitome of
human wisdOm-the Essays of Bacon, and over it
were clasped his hands, hugging it to his heart.
Such was his final sleep-peaceful, serene, and
worthy so great life-in the midst of the thunders
which concentrated the birthday of the nation
whose fame and power he had done so much to up
hold and extend.

E9- The Patriot speaks of the ''inssne rawlings
of the immaculate Johnson-the hypocritical rho
domontade of the cideUant Whig the dpostGte Jones
and the cunning, crafty, Vaccinations of the
snsdking Nicholson" These are terms of reproach
and are applied not to party but to Individuals
to honorable gentlemen, high in the esteem of the
public. We know of no prominent citizen in the
State, of any party, to whom would be willing to
apply such epithets. Nor is it our purpose to
reprOVe others. We desire, however, to give the
Patriot full benefit of its language, and leave the
public to determine who is injured by it, the edi-
tors who it or the gentlemen to whom it is ap-
plied

LOVES LOGIC-Br HENRY T1NROD

Andif ask thee for kiss,
ask no more than this sweet breeze,
With far less title to the bliss,
Steals every minute at its ease;
And yet how placid is thy browi
1t seems to WOO the bold cBress,
While now he takes his kiss, and nov
All sorts offreedom with thy dress
Or, if dare thy hand to touch,
Hath nothing pressed its palm before
flower, I'm sure, hath done as much,
And ah! some senseless diamond more.
1t strikes me, love, the very rings
Now sparkling on this hand of thine,
Could tell some truly strathng things
If they had tongues or touch like mine.
Indeed, indeed, do not know,
Of all that thou hast power to grant,
A boon for which could not show
Some pretty precedent extant.
Suppose, for instance, should clasp
Thus, so, and thus, thy slender waist;
would not hold within my grasp
More than this loosened zone embraced.
Oh put the anger from thine eyes,
Or shut them if they still must frown,
Those lids, despite you garish skies,
Can bring timely darkness down.
Then if in that convenient night,
My lips should press thy dewy mouth,
The touch shall be so soft, so light,
ThOult fancy it-this gentle South.

BT- The last Lebanon Herald, Mr.. Hatton's
home organ, contains two paragraphs relative to
the close of the canvass between the candidates for
Governor, the general bearing of which is untrue
and was intended to do in justice to Gen. Harris -
II written by the concurrence of Mr.. Hatton or
approved by him, it will be lasting reprOach upon
his character We trust, therefore, that, in justice
to himself as well as his competitor, he will take
the pains to correct the impressions that these
paragraphs were intended to create with the people
of Wilson county.
