Election Anecdote.

The following story is told of a revolu-
tionary soldier who was running for Con-
gress : 1t appears that our hero was op-
posed By much younger man, who had
never " been to the wars and it was the
wont Of the old Revolutionary" to tell
the people Of the bariships he endured.
Says he:
"Fellow Citizens, | have fought and
bled for my country. 1 helped to whip
the British and the Indians | have
walked the frozen ground until every foot
step was marked with blood ~
Just about this time, one Of the "sover-
eigns' who had been very much affected
by this tale of woe, walked up in front of
the speaker, wipins the tears from his
eyes with the extremity of his coat tai, and
interrupted him, saying:
"Did you say you fought the British
and the IDgins p
AYES" responded the revolutionary.
"Did you say that you had slept on the
ground, while serving your country, with.
out any kiver?"
"Yes, sir, I did ~
"Did you say that you had followed
the enemy of your country over frozen
ground till every fOotstcp was marked with
blood p
ayes, sir, l did"
well then," said the fearful 'sovcr.

ton, "Tll be whipped if l don't think
you've done enough for your country, and

in the Texan Army, but, being afterwards
converted, was sent as a missionary into
the far interior of Africa, by the Southern
baptist HJard. lie hos published a book
showing very high state of civilization,
and a comparatively happy state of society,
in rcgious where the contaminating inHu-
ence of the Slave Trade has never reached
He has also delivered lectures in New
York, upon the condition of things in that
part Of the world, which, at this time, is
exciting more than ordinary attention.
From report, in the New York papers,
We extract the following
"The peculiar characteristics of the
African nature, its kindness, child-like
simplicity in the reception of religious
truth, docility, and teachableness, furnish
ground for high hope and encouragement.
The retentive quality in this nature was
most surprising. The literature planted
by the Saracens; seven hundred years ago,
and the arts and sciences which they pos.
sessed at remote age, have not at any
time been forgotten, but have been re-
tained to the present time as perfect as
when first received. They have reached
such state of civilization that it would
be impossible for them to retrograde; they
must, BY necessity, progress. The Niger
is the Mississippi of Africa. From its
delta to its source, more than three thou
sand miles in length; in no place is it
less than half mile in width, ,and, through
out its entire length, it would be naviga-
bic to our Mississippi steamers. Its prin-
cipal tributaries, are navigablc, for more
than fifteen hundred miles. The immense
district, drained by the Niger and its
branches, was rich in undeveloped resour-
ces The palm tree grows in luxuriant
profuson, and, from its nut, oil for the
supply of the worlds trade could be man
ufac.ured. Cotton, of a long and firm
staple, could be easily produced and an
immense trade in indigo, African silk,
ivory, and skins, could be established with
facility. The great reason why the Eng
lish have not succeeded better in their
attempts to establish trade, was because
they confined their operations simply
to ports along the banks of the Niger, and
left the great interior country unexplOred.
Trading posts should be established in the
interior, in order to break up the vast
trafick which finds its way across the
deserts. Around these stations, large
towns would spring up which would soon
become the nuclcuses of civilization. The
present African trade was estimated at
thirty millions of dollars. II not for the |
sake of Christian truth, and through mo-
tives Of philanthropy, certainly BY re-
gard for our self interests, we should feel
impelled, as individuals and as nation, to
encourage every proper scheme to civilize
Africa, aud thus appropriate to ourselves
the vast wealth of its trade and commerce |
The labors of the Missionaries, have
resulted in iucalculable good results, thus
early. The power of Idolatry and No
