The Vote Of Neao York.-Ncw York
hsss voted alternately for the Domo-

viz: For Van Buren in 1886, General
Harrison in 1910. Polk in 1874, Taylor
in lS4S, Pierce in 1852, Fremont in
1856.
1t will be observed that in tho list,
Fremont is the only candidate for
whonaNew York has voted, who was not
elected. In every other instance she
was in the majority, and in somc Of
them made the majority and decided
the election. There arc only two in

Clinton, who was run against Mr.. Mad
ison, in 1912, was another. Clinton
was native of New York, u very able
and very popular man, himself JAer-

position. New York east an united
vote for him, but howas defeated, Up
to and including the election of 1925,
the electors were appointed by the Leg
islature, Parties were so mixed that

Gen. Jackson obtained a majority and

14aEAA< sf@4~ R0+r ola songs they ring apon the brain, Like whispers from the far-of spheres, And with their thrilling spell revive
 The garnered love of by-gone years. What though beneath the sod they lie, That pale array of honored dead; In hues immortal round the heart,
 Still, still halIowed beam they shed. Old songsl never guessed how large
 A space was in this heart of mine, Till, one dull eve, by channe found
 A well-worn book, whose every line Come back to me as clear as though But yesterday I'd laid it down, And there found in the wished-for clue That spoke ef days forever flown. Oh, when amid the world of doubts, Of light and shade in which we stray, We seek some charm by which to drive Some temporary grief away, Let those who love such pleasures court The favorites who entrance the throng For me, I'll find homelier scene,
 And lull me with some dear old song.

Ills late speech reviewing aud crilicisine

without notes, and every word has its
power. The following Is a specimen:
Men always. charge the reformer with
tie guilt Of the institution he has found
out, as If Garrison was to blame for all the
trouble made b. the anfi-slavery enterprise.
When the Gfeenlandes want hot weather,

had d funny class-mate ia college WHO was
50 very anxious to hayea west wind that
he climbed up and nailed the vane in that
direction. And read Of a IIindoo, who,
when the missionary showed him iii a glass
Of water, that ii drinking it he deyoured
animal life as much as IL he had eaten a
sacred COW, took the microscope, put it on
the ground, and st .mped it to pieces, think
ing he 4 stfoyed she fact by destroying the
evidence Of it. So with men, if the} could
only strangle G. rison what a happy time
we should have
But truth his flashed further on the
shcutsof mob than the most eloquent
HIS ever carried It, and If Gallileo had been
answered, the people would never have put
him III Jail. So / think it is with Garrison.
Then there is another class ofnien who are
exceedingly afraid weare injuiing the cause
You viii find patent Democrat, and he

but by the artillery demanding them.
Peaceful error is never better than tempest

LAWS OF NEW MEXICO.

The Territorial laws.of New Mexico, hav,
Just come to light before CONGRESS. They
exhibit Popular Sovereignty in an dwfu
shape. AS one provision Of the organic
act Of New Mexico, provides that Congress
may repeal any act Of their legislature, mo
lions have accordingly been made in Con
IIgress to repeal several Of the acts among
them the one authorizing the whipping 0
Tailoring white men. The following art
among the Territorial laws regarding Slave
~ in New Mexico:
Any free colored person found in the
FTerritory, or any colored person found aoith-
on az ogner, shall be taken up AZ Ga es-
tray, lodged ii jail, advertised by the Shel-
Iifr for an owner, ana if none appears, shall
Be sold to the highest. bidder as a slayefoF
life and his posteTity after him Or her, and
1.-THE proceeds shall.!e paid into the county
Treasury. Another section iorbids the
emancipation OF. slaves under severe penal
ties. Other sections fine, ilnprison and con-
denim to the penitentiary any American
citizen who shall oppose slavery in New
Mexico, or write, speak Or print against the
internal institutions Another section
throws white men into the penitentiaTy who
Eshali advise or aid coIored man to escape
81 regain lis freedom. 10 believe IN The
Declaration Of independence, as RepubIi-
cans understand II, II 4 penitentiarv offence.
But there Is one section that caps the climax
Of this Democratic code. 1t progidgs that
any employer who hires wisite men to work
for him, shall have the legal and perfect
RIGHT to beat hhena as much as lie p1edses
except that be shall not take life or break
their limbs; and white free laborers so beat
en-, shulI hare no redress at lar Think
Of that Democratic law, We ''mud-silIs" who
work for wages. The democratic Leeisla-
turs Of a Democratic Territory has made it
legal for a boss to fog bis white wCrkmen.
Any white man who employs another white
man To labor for him, has 4 Lawful right to
Sicl, cuff, cane and cowhide the workman
at his pleasure. But all this is iii harnoni-
Gus conformity with the modern Democrat
ID idea that the capitalist has perfect right
to oma his laborers. a man that owJss
slaves has a right to horsewhip them when
he pleases; and this New Mexican Demo
cratic law merely extends the same Demo-
cratic privilege to the boss which j enjoy
ed by the slave-master. What an inesti-
mably precious privilege it is to bea Dem
oerat especially if the person be poor -
If he Is rich, he enjoys the luxury Of lick
irsg bis labo.er; ii he he poor he can expe-|
Renee the felicity Of being pounded. A
wonderful and benefcent institution is De-
moeracy, and how peculiarly adopted to a
