Why thus leave me madly doubling,

Stree election, as to the cause Of the Demo
cratic defeat in that State. Itsays:
The election of Lincoln is the natural
consequence of the conduct of those who
have managed to secure the control of and
give shape to the canvass. The conceited
block heads Of New York City, who have
vastly more of wealth than of brains, un-
dertOok to impart their own craven fears
to the whole country and through that in
strumentality to drive the voters en- nausse
into the support of mongrel ticket Of
their own concoction. They have assumed
to shake the Southern fist under every
mans nose and to say, vote against Lin
coin or we will destroy the Union and i'm
pair the value of your property" That
standing and offensive menace has cost us
more votes in this State alone than the
whole majority of New York City. We
have over and over again demonstrated
against the use of such 6 arguments " and
protested that they were decimating our
ranks every where outside of that circle
which confounds political principles with
real and personal property and makes all
alike articles of traffic Sc but our protests
were of no avail and we here in the country
have been obliged to wait with patience for Or

which it required precious little sagacity to
foresee the character of.

A Romantic Young Lady and a Fast

From the Indianapolis Sentinel, Oct. 20. go" '
Moonlight, since the world began, has
beeP the food of love. Cupid dances in her
silvery rays, and his most antic tricks are
perpetrated under her mellowing influence.
1t will be 50, philosophers say, and it al.
ways should be so, poets and lovers respond.
A romantic young lady of our city, one of
the wild, rattle-brained sort, but entirely
above suspicion, made the acquaintance of a
young gentleman on the State Fair ground,
and be was smitten. He asked to visit her,
but some strange freak got into the young
lady's head, and she declined his visits at
her home, but so arranged as to meet him
in the evenings, and rambled with him by
moonlight, often until the small hours ap-
preached. A What he said or how he said it,
we don't know, but we presume be asked to
accompany her to her apartment, for on
Sunday night she took him to her room,
stepped out and turned the key in the door
behind her. ',r.L .. 500 '..a u.
Having performed this exploit she awoke
her father and mother, complained of insults
offered and told them how She had the liber.
tine under lock and key. Armed with
canes and toDgs the paternal and fra
ternal burst into the room, furious and in
eager haste to chastise the intruder. The
young stranger, although fast, is youth Of
GOODNESS and courage. He started back an
instant, under the glare of the light from
the lamp and the fire from the two pair of
eyes, and drew revolver, telling them that
if they advanced step he would fire every
barrel at them. He let them rave on, and
the old man began to see the absurdity of
his position. Then the young lover told
them to reflect. He was in the young lady's
bed chamber, brought there by herself.
Was she not more in his power than he was
in hers? His love, he said, was cooled
indeed it was below freezing point and he
was willing to let the affair rest just where
it was, and that each party should return to
their own quarters, with their arms in their
hands. 1t was agreed that nothing should
be said about it, but, some hints having
leaked out, we have the substance Of the
above from one of the actors and believe it
20 be true. Young ladies should not get
quite so romantic. s...
