"A clever book has been published under
the above title; but we do not see what
necessity there was to publish such book
at all. A gentleman only has to attend a
tea-tabie, and he is sure, before the first cup
of Bohea has gone round, to hear what a
woman's thoughts are about women. Gen
orally speaking, the "thOughts' expressed
are not of the most friendly nature; for
woman, as judged by her own sex, is by no
means the beautiful, divine creature that
poets delight in imagining her. However
the book we have honOred by mentioning
is perfectly free from scandal and ill-nature
and is so sensible in most of its observations,
and at the same time SO gentle in its re-
proofs, that really man might have writ
ten ii. There isn'ta squeeze OF satire in it.

the hopes Of finding something spitecul. will
be grievously disappointed. The work

Below we present to the consideration oi
our readers the platform upon which the
Democracy of this Congressional Distric.

man dare deny the authenticity Of these
dogmas, nor that they are the acknowledged
creeds of the modern Democratic party
We " i'll fret introduce an extract from
BucnAKAk's memorable letter TO Professor

0TThe Democracy OF this district ask
US to vote for BENZ. F SFRIGGs, man they
are ashamed Of. Why, we might ask. does
not Mr. SPRIGGs canvass Belmont county!
There is but one reply. He as atraid His
peers thought best to send him down to
"Old Monroe"-and keep him there. Demo
Gratis of Belmont, beware.j You are asked
TO vote for Congressman whom YOU have
never seen, and who is kept out of sight
lest you might vote against him. So far as
Belmont Democracy is concerned their can
didate is myth. They are told to vo.e for a
mere Sprigg of man who is represented
as working bard somewhere away down in
"Old Monrue," but who is not bold enough
to bear the scrutiny of the Belmont voters.

REMEMBER, voters of Belmont county
that the man whom the Democracy of this
I.'Deestrick" are begging you to elect to
represent free people in Congress, sup.
ported the Administration in its attempt tc
force the Lccompton Constitution upon 9
protesting people.
REMEMBER that he afterwards sup.
ported the English Conference Bill, with
its Infamous land bribes.
REMEMBER that the candidate of this
piebald Democracy supports the odious
Dred Scott decision.
REMEMBER, free voters of aOld Bel.
mont" that this imbecile Genus whom
aye Democracie" are asking you to vote
for believes $4,000 sufficient population
for Territory TO have in order to form a
Slave State, but that she must have 90, 100
before she can become Free State.
REMEMBER, Free Laborers, that BEN
JAMIN FRANKLIN SPRIecs believes In the
divine righ.s of Shareholders, and that
he will be always found array ed on the side
Of slaveho 'ders, and against the Free La
boring Interests of this great country.
REMEMBER, if you vote for him you
say, by your indosenent of him and his
principles, which are cdious to nineteen
twentieths of the voters of the District,
that the Constitution of the Union, that
which was intended by its trainers to be a
chart of freedom and light to guide and
protect the weary and the enslave that
are fleeing from the expressions of the Old
World, carries nothing but slavery in its
folds. sf ~-
REMEMBER that B. F. SPRIGGs, whom
party under the abused name of Demo
cracy, is attempting to fOist upon the peo-
pie of this Congressional District contends
that Slavery is National and Freedom Sec
tional; and that THOMAS C. THEAKER, the
Man of the People, who comes fresh from
The dingy machine shops of Bridgeport,
nobly contends that FREEDOM Is Ma
TIONAL AND SLAVERY SECTION
AL; contends that this country was not
made for the negro, and that our great
fertile Territories should rot be thrown
open o slavery. TO crush out Free Labor.
REMEMBER that Thomas C. THEAKER
will always be found, BY his acts and vote,
arrayed On the side of the Free Laboring
interest of this great county.

upon US. Are you ready! Have you CAIN
ly weighed the questions at issue, and
formed your conclusions as men. as patri-
OTIS who have at heTft the good of their
country. Lock around you. These silent
furnaces, ruined commerce, and PROSTATE
trade, and the thousands of men thrown out
Of Unemployment all around US, appea stronge
to you. voters, than can words. This is the
last opportunity we shall have to speak to
our rea !ers before the election, and e would
conjure them, as men who have the good ofI
country and mankind at heart, to divest
themselves OF all prejudice, and on next
Tuesday rally to the polls and cast their
suffrage for THOMAS C. THEAKER, the Man

Still another plank in Mr.. SPRIGGS
platform may be found in the following bar
barous dogma of partizan court:

of the South to do their dirty work. But
if you DO not believe that "Siavery exists

you will goto the polls on next Tuesday

spirit of party, and cast his vote to exclude
Slavery from our great Territories, and

The Heroine of Tampico.

Mrs. Chase, the heroine of brilliant ex-
plot in the Mexican war, is in Washington,
and the States thus describes her adven-
ture -
The scene was at Tampieo during the
Mexican war. Our fleet, under Commodore
Conner, was waiting for favorable oppor-
tunity to take the town, when boat, sent.
by our heroine, came off, bearing plans Of
the fortifcations, and message that the
American flag would be hoisted at the mo-
ment Tampieo could be easily taken. Our
heroine was, must say, in very perilous
situation. Tampico was full of the enemys
and her house in charge of treacherous SER
wants, who watched her every movement.
The Mexican forces were Withdrawing from
the city. Mounting quickly to the roof,
she uufurled the American flag. The ma
neuvre was discovered by the enemy in the
streets and a party was sent to pull down
the flag. They approached the staff, but
our heroine defed them to tear that banner
from its place until she had died in its de-
fence. Pistols and swords were pointed at
her breast; faces full of deadly hatred
scowled upon her; but the courage of a wo[
man conquered The Mexicans were cow
ards, and the flag continued floating in the
breeze. The signal was seen by Commo-
dore Conner; the feet stood in for the towing
and Tampico was taken.
