ELECTION RHYMES.

1.-THE following impromptu by A. NJ. THOMPSON, of
the Se1tine late of the HON Liegue read by Mr.
SAVAGE, at the Union jollifcation in Milwaukee, on
the 14th inst and three cheers given for the writer
Did you hear the ringing slogan from the gallant
Buckeye State?
twas the doom of "poor unhappy yall,'' who still
must "watch and wait.''
Ohio loathes the copperhead, as honest people must
In Brough the loyal democrat the Buckeyes put their
trust
He "waits and watches" DER the line for Palmer
and the rest,
And by Novembers early days well send him there
unblest;
The ssculmination' that he wished will happen by
and by,
The Badger boys voting day will scoop him high
and dry!
The Ryan platform must go down it cannot longer
float,
Wisconsin, on Election day, will sink it by vote /;
Sraws cannot drowning man, tits better to get
Than venture out upon tho sea in such rotton trough
The Quakers voted yesterday without 'thou," or
'thee,'
No doubt they thought of Gettysburg, and rebel
hordes of Lee;
They corded up the copperheads intend to do,
All hail the voting broad-brims now, and gallant
Curtin too!
All hail the pyramid of States, SO loyal, true and
brave,
They stand like granite in the gap the Nations life
to save
Let traitors South and traitors North take warning
while they may,
And slink back to their loathsome dens seek the
face ofday
Vermont sent greeting from her hills-'twas echoed
back by Main,
And Califor ia, golden voiced, rung back the shout
again.
Ohio, and the keystone State, and young Iowa too,
Are shouting to the Badger boys,-'sTAND FAST, BE
FIRM AND TRUE"

"Once Free Always Free"

The following are the closing para
graphs of Senator SUMNER's great ar
ticle on State Rights and Congressional
Powers-one Of the ablest political pa
pers Of the day:
This is a rule oflaw, and an instinct
Of humanity It is aself-eyident axiom,
which only tyrants and Shareholders
have denied. The brutal pretension
thus famingly advanced, to re-enslave
those who have been set free, puts us
all on our guard There must be no
chance or loop-hole for such an intoler-
able, Heaven-defying iniquity. Alas |.
there have been crimes III human his
tory; but [ know of none blacker than
this. There have been acts ofbaseness;
but [ know of none. more utterly vile. =
Against the POSSIBILITY Of such sacri-
fee we must take bond which cannot
be set aside, and this can be found in
the powers of Congress.
Congress has already done much.
Besides its noble act Of emancipation.
it has provided that every person gull
ty Of treason, or melting or assisting
the rebellion, sshall be disqualified to
hold any Office under the United States"
And by another act, it has provided
that every person elected or appointed
to any office Of honor or profit under
the government of the United States,
shall before entering upon its duties,
take an oath, s'that he has not voluntar-
lily borne arms against the United States
or give aid, countenance, counsel or
encouragement, to persons engaged in
armed hostility thereto, or sought or ac-
cepted OF attempted to exercise the
! functions Of any office whatever under
/ any authority, or pretended authority,
in hostility to the United State :
This oath viii be bar against the re
turn to national Office Of any who have
taken part with the rebels. It shuts
out, in advance, the whole criminal
gang. But these same persons, reject
ed by the National Government, are
left free to hold Office in the States
And here is another motive to further
action by Congress The oath is well
as far as it goes, more must be done
in the same spirit

inridge wing Of the party had the real
leaders in it, and that ultimately the
Democratic orgdnizotioa aeougd faU into
their hands. 1t has done so, and they
are just as reckless, as fatuitous and un
patriotic as was Breckenridge himself.
In New York, you have sort of mixed
breed, piobald and speckled, which may
be called ,Seymourites But you will
not have them long. The times admit
Of no quibbling There can be but two
sides in the country and no public man
or party can live before the tribunal Of
the people who undertakes to setup Con-
stitutional bubbles and teehnicalities
against the fulfllment of his duty to
the National Government. Nor is any
party to live in opposition to the Presi-
dents Proclamation of Freedom. The
men who acquire their freedom under
the Proclamation will hold it, and the
| Nation aciU support them an 1t. While
you are talking about modes of "recon-
struction," Tennessee will be free, Mis-
souri, will be free, Maryland will be free,
and other States will soon follow, till
the banner Of Freedom floats unstained
upon every wall of the great Republic.
Esto .oerpetno-events shape the future.
The mind Of the Nation rises up to
meet them, and forms its policy upon the
necessity.
And what are the prospects Of the
Democratic party in its present hands :?
It had majority Of two to one in Cali
fornia, and the party has been almost
swept from existence by the breath of
the people Maine was once the strong
hold Of Democracy. Lost by it's Pro
Slavery proclivity, a revival was attempt
ed on the Anti War policy; and where
is the Democratic party? Overwhelmed
in its own ruins! It is now fighting in
Ohio under the banner of the convict
Vallandigham. Where it will be you
will soon hear. What it Will be in New
| York you can tell better than [, but this
| know, that if New York supports the
present Democratic party, she will be
the clone star," the spared monument
Of what was once the great Democ-
racy.
There is a great lesson in the events
which are SO rapidly passing by us, but
that lesson is chiefly for the young and
the aspiring. Let them read it well.
The country has been thrown into con-
vulsions and nearly destroyed by the
political demagogucs Of the South p
What do they get as their reward ;?
! Death, ruin, and infamy forever! 1t is
sought to be convulsed again by dema-
gogues Of the North What will they
have for their reward Political ruin,
defeat, disgrace, and the scorn Of pos
terity. Let young men read and profit
by this great lesson, vouchsafed for their
instruction.

Machinery Of Hard Labor.

Not such great whileago our thread
was spun between the finger and the
thumb, and all our cloth woven in the
clumsiest Of hand-rooms. Now, by
means Of spinning jenny, and weav-
ing machinery, one person will make as
much as two hundred yards of cloth in
day. Before the invention Of the cot
ton gin, one person could not prepare
one pound of cotton so easily as he can
now prepare one hundred pounds. Que
grandmothers could hardly knit onr
pair Of socks in a day-now, by means
of machine, one little girl can turn
out hundred dollars worth Of knitting
materials in a day. A few years ago
we were told it took seventeen men to
make good pin; now the machine is
fed with the raw material, which is not
touched again until rolled up in paper
pins. In Providence, r. l., there is to-
day machine that takes strip Of met
al from a coil, and makes two hundred
and thirty inches Of delicate chain out
of it in a day The metals are no
longer worked by hand-a slow, wear
ing process; they are shaved, sawed,
bored, and hammered, with the great
est ease and accuracy, as if they were
Of the softest pine.
An instrument has been contrived
and perfected Of exceedingly delicate
powers, which measures the operation
of mind itself-tells the exact time it
takes for a sesnation from the finger to
the brain-two -tenths Of a second Go

But enough. The case is clear. Be
hold the Rebel States in arms against
that paternal Government to which, as
the supreme condition Of their con-
stitutional existance, they owe duty and
love; and behold all legitimate powers,
executive, legislative and judicial, in
these States, abandoned and vacated.
It only remains that Congress should
enter and assume the proper jurisdic-
ton. If we are not ready to exelaim
with Burke, speaking of Revolutionary
France, "it is but an empty space up
on the political map" we may at least
adopt the response hurled back by Mir
abeau, that this empty space is a vol
cano red with fame and overAowing
with lava floods. But whether we deal
with it as ''empty space" OF, as ''volca-
nc" the jurisdiction, civil and military
centers in Congress, to be employed
for the happiness, welfare and renown
of the American people hanging
slavery into freedom, and present chaos
into Cosmos Of perpetual beauty and
power.

First American Shot in the Revolu-
ton.

The first American who discharged
his gun on the day of the battle of
Lexington, was Ebenezer Lock, who
died at Deering, N. H. about fifty
years ago He resided at Lexington
in 1775. The British regulars, at the
order of Major Pitcairn, having fired
at a few Americans on the green in
front of the meeting house, killing
some and wounding others, it was asig-
nal of war. ':The citizens, writes one,
''might be seen coming from all direc-
tions in the roads, over the fields and
through the woods, each with his rifle
in his hand, his powder-horn to his
side, and his pockets provided with
bullets" Among the number was
Ebenezer Lock. Us.
The British had posted a reserve of
infantry mile in the rear, in the di-
reetion of Boston. This was in the
neighborhood of Mr.. Lock, who, in
stead Of fastening to join the party at
the green, placed himself in an open
cellar at convient distance for doing
execution A portion Of the reserve
was standing on bridge, and Mr.. Lock
commenced firing at them. There was
no American in sight. lie worked val
liantly for some ten minutes, bringing
down one of the enemy at every shot.
Up to this time not gun had been fir
ed elsewhere by the Americans, The
British, greatly disturbed at losing so
many men by the random fire of an un-
seen foe, were not long in discovering
the man in the cellar, and discharged
volley Of balls, which lodged in the
wall opposite Mr.. Lock remained un-
hurt, continued to load and fire with
the precision ola distinguished marks
man. He was driven to such close
quarters, however, by the British on
his right and left, that he was compell-
ed to retreat. @
He had just one bullet left, and
there was but one way to escape, and
that was through an orchard, and not
one moment was to be lost; he leveled
his gun at the man near by, dropped
the weapon, and the man was shot
through the heart. The balls whistled
about him. Lock reached the brink of
steep hill, and throwing himself down
upon the ground, tumbled downwards,
rolling as if mortally wounded. In
this way he escaped unhurt. At the
close of the war he moved to New
Hampshire, where he resided until his
death, twenty years after. He lived in
seclusion and died in peace. a
