The Value of One Vote.

WELL, If my vote could do any good, and
If the election depended upon it, I'd go to
the polls; but one vote won't make any DIFF
ference" bow often we have heard that SEN
tence within the last few months The tact that
fifty thousand citizens in this city neglected to
exercise their right of suffrage, shows how
prevalent and convincing was the argument.
Yet often In the history of our country one
vote has been of mighty value. Some twenty
years since the Governorship of Massachu-
setts was decided by one vote, and within the
past month its value has been well illustrated.
The Legislature of New Jersey has the duty
Senator. It's political complexion was a
matter of doubt. Had the Republicans lost
Salem county, which was only carried by one
hundred majority, and failed to gain else
where, the state Senate would have been
against them, and the House have been almost
a tie. Such a condition OF affairs was antic-
pated throughout all the State. In Middlesex
county, on the success of whose member the
opinion of the Legislature was expected to
depend, Mr.. M. n. Tyrrell (Republican) was
elected to the Legislature by mgjority of
one UOtel
On that vote the sentiments of the United
States Senator almost depended, and on his
sentiments might rest the impeachment or
acquittal OF the President. Think of the
value of one vote! The whole political com
plexion of the country might have been
altered by one vote! An Importance belongs
to it which was denied to the voice of any
crowned head in Europe; and all this power is
not hypothetical-it is real. The contingency
almost arose, and may arise on any future
election. Yet the power aud value of that
vote were not increased. They were merely
brought odt. Every one OF our readers pos
sesses right which is equal to that we have
argued, and any contingency may raise it to
the height OF almost Omnipotence. When
this is borne in mind, let us hear no more Of
a vote being of no consequence, but let every
citizen exercise his dearest right as though
the future of his country depended on his
discharging his duty as his patriotism and
his intelligence shall direct

A Tale UnfOlded.

THE story of the origin, efforts failures, and
final success of the Atlantic Gable Company.
as told by Cyrus ". Field, ESQ.,, savors rather
of a romance than plain statement of facts.
Yet all it deals in are events which have actu-
ally occurred. 1t forms a most powerful
argument in favor of perseverance. and far
surpasses all the force of the trite proverbs
which are preached to us from infancy.
Determination and undying decision to win
in the end have at last succeeded. His mar
ratiye is tale of struggling against failure,
and almost in the tace of nature. Yet the
foIce of character, the indomitable will, has
at last conquered. 1t affords powerful les
son TO all who doubt ultimate success, and
calls to mind the lines OF Tupper:-
Never give up; it is wiser and better
Always to hope than once to despair.
Fling of the load OF doubts can6ering fetter,
And break the dark chains of tyIannical care.
Never give up, or the burden may sink you;
Providence wisely has mingled the cup.
And in all trials and troubles bethlnk you,
The watchWord of life must be, Never give
up!n
