On the 9Th of March, Mr.. Coyode asked

the President or any other officer of the
government has with money, patronage or
any other improper means sought to inffss-
ence Congress, or any Committee thereof,
to any act refeiling to the rights Of the
States or Territories; whether any officers,
by combination or otherwise, have sought
to defeat the execution Of any laws, and
whether the President has refused to com

other navy yards and public works; and
taking the Presidents letter of November,

April Town Elections How tc
Mike Candidates.


The annual town meetings for elacting
town officers and transacting town business
viii be held this year on Tuesday, the Sd
Of April. AT the same time Chief JUS
tice of the Supreme Court is to be voted
for and elected.
We notice various methods are resorted
to in towns for bringing out regular and
irregular candidates; in some of the towns
party conventions are held and party can
didates are made; in others, conventions Of
all parties are held and but single sets Of
candidates agreed on; in others those in at
tendance around the polls the earliest on
election day put their heads togetl { and
start up candidates, who are votedtor as the
electors gather in. In some towns there is
an ANNUAL tumble for the Offices, half the
voters being iTepressible candidates. OF
the several methods we prefer this one,
having noticed that It works well almost
invariably: On the Saturday before cleo
ton, say at two o'clock, let there be held a
town caucus at the usual place Of holding
elections, and let there be efforts made to
get all to attend of all parties be particular
to not regard party nor sect nor nationality
-ol rathe think not Of any Of these things
whereby prejudice may be engendered. On
your way to the caucus, think of your best
man for supervisor, then your best for
clerk, treasurer. assessor, susuperintendent,
justice, &C. By the time you arrive at the
caucus, you viii be prepared to vote right,
and in nine chances in ten, majority will
be found on the first ballot to have thought
and voted just like yourself Then you
will be pleased with the method Of making
candidates, and resolve to try it again.

SpUNKr. - Old Deacon Spooner, Of
Waukesha, Wis, one Of the old line aboli-
tionists, has letterin the Waukesha Dem
ocrat, announcing that the Republican par
ty is TOO moderate, conservative and M
tional for him. He endorses the Buchanan
policy Of sectioI.lism-only that Spooner
is for Northern sectionalism while Buchan-
an favors the South and along with Doug
las hates the North. It is curious how
extremes meet in these old lines. Deacon
Spooner thus announces his position:
Il have nailed my colors to the mast
with wrought nails, and clinched them on
the opposite side. | have inscribed on my
banner, John Brown at Harper's Ferry,
and John Brown in Glory. Right in Kan
sas, right in Virginia and right forever
| will not vote for any man, for any import
ant office, who is not an old line abolition
ist, and dyed in the wool at that"
From the above nothing is palmer than
that the Republican is the only truly na-
tional, conservative and constitutional par
ty, and the only party of the country oc-
cupying no extreme. This will yet be
seen and acknowledged, South as well as
North.

Low VIZ. High Rates of Interest.
It is no easy thing for people having
money on hand to make up their minds
what to invest in. High rate Of interest
and perfect safety is very pleasant com
binaton. This question we have argued
with thousands of men, and we may say
women, too, whose bumps both of greed
and caution, were well developed. The
past few years have given us a very good
solution, which, when put into table form,
shows about the following results:
Those who strove for IL y cl. and more lost all
Those whc strove for 10 v lost y,
Thosesvirs strove for 0 vet, lost s.5ths.
Those who strove for Ct. lost =
These who strove for v Ct, lost 4
Those who satisfied with p ct, lost little.
Those who satisfied With p Ct, saved ALL
If any one is curious to prove this table
by any test within their circle Of acquain-
tances, they viii please go back to invest
ments made in 1s48 to 1856, inclusive.
This much is certain those who have adj
