:. DON'T Give Nh the Shin. }.

(says the ELECTS Mills Enterprise) has SO
often been blazoned before our eyes, when its
Significance was SO far above the subject to
whichfit was applied, that in placing at Che
head Of this article wecan scarcely expect its
import to be felt as it ought to be, But let
us put in connection with it another phrase,
and our readers may possibly realize its
meaning better as paraphrase:
Don't Give up the Vote!
In these perilous times we are not called
Immediately TO fight ship for our country,
though if we were, there are doubtless some
who woad do SO as well and as brayely as
Lawrence did. But what's the winning or
losing Of ship compared to themantenance
and perpetuity Of our institutions? And
how are these to be made secure but by every
man doing his dutya conscientiously, bravcy,
unflinchingiy, 50 far as it is possible for him
to do so?
Let every man, then, resolve to go to the
polls at the ensuing election and vote. Let
us make deliberate choice Of the men for
whom we will cast our suffrage, and then
suffer no obstacle whatsoever to prevent the
deposit of our votes. We make this subject
one of immediate application to the consid-
GRAFTON of our people, because it is at this
time of paramount importance--nay, mpera-
tive in its demands upon their attention. In
looking around us upon the history of events,
especially in the city of Baltimore, what as
surat,ca have Y,e that ant- &c tIa t.r;,+,ii ,,-
have been accustomed to regard as inaliena-
bic will remain in The possession of the peo-
pie for another year2 What military neces-
sty' may not arise to dispossess us even OF
the right to vote7-a right which, in the hands
of free and intelligent people, is sufficiently
potent to overthrow any despotism in the
world?
We say, then, to our friends, to the people
in all this region Of couatry, look well to the
circumstances which surround you; consider
the condition Of public affairs turn lovingly
to the rights and privileges which yet remain
to you; and, as true men, come forth upon
the day of election and deposit your votes
for the candidates of your choice
\ SELL. I'VE stated in our last, that an
attempt had been made to assassinate Colonel
Knipe, of the Forty-sixth Pennsy lvania re-
giment, and his son and done so upon the in
formation Of person representing himself &c
be Col. Knipe's son. 1t now turns out, how.
ever, that the Colonel has no son here-neithei
was his life attempted. The following, from
the correspondent Of the Baltimore ''Newi
Sheet, " may possibly explain tlle matter:
DARNEsTowN, Oct 5.-Your correspondent
frequently has his attention called to newspa.
per paragraphs, purportingto come from and
give information in regard to matters and
movements in this command, which wer,
never heard of until the papers reach here
4 The most serious misstatement, however, o
! this nature, is the reported attempt to assassi
nate Col. kaipe, Of the 10th Pennsylvani,
/ regiment, and his son. Col Knipe has NJ
knowledge of any such affair, nor is he bette
/ informed in regard 10 'his son" as he ha
none here.
