The New York Tribune uttcrs gushing
and unstinted thanks that the last Presiden-
tial veto has contributed TO hasten the era
Of negro suffrage. Its argument is that the
Executive disapproval of the so-called Civil
Rights bill is so sweeping and thorough, that
the negrophilists, being thereby utterly
thwarted in their purpose of negro equality,
will be induced TO enter upon systematic agi-
tation in behalf Of negro suflrage-that the
negro being deprived of his rights at the
hands of the Government through the mvet-
crate prejudice of those who cannot yet see
that he is the equal of the white man, and
who do not think it in the power or the pro-
per sphere of duty Of this Government Ia
attempt to make him so, can only enjoy
them when he has become a political power
In the State This truculent fanatic rehearses
the part he has borne in the agitation which
eliminated in the late civil war and with a
flourish Of trumpets announces that the work
is not yet done.
Mr.. JOHNSON can have no better evil
dence that he is acting well and faithfully
than the railing and revilings of monoma-
MACS like the Tribune people.

The ELECTION IN WARREN COUNTY
That sterling old patriot ASA FALKNER,
was elected on Saturday last to the Legisla-
ture to supply his own vacancy, by m al
most unanimous vote Of his people The
Radicals thought they would close him out
by running two against him. The wisdom
Of this msn@uvre very well illustrates their
ability in other respects. We are happy to
announce that one Of them received thirty
votes and the other fifteen. There are just
forty-fve votes in Warren county against
the President and the Constitution. The
rest are all right.

THE ELECTION IN CANNoN.-We are in
formed by persons from Cannon county, who
arrived in the city yesterday, that their
people were grossly outraged in the election
on Saturday. The Clerk of the County
Court made a false pretense, two days be-
fore, that he was compelled to make certain
official sales. He accordingly appointed
few chosen Radical deputies, who had their
own way. The people were ostracised, and
comparatively few voted The Clerk
skulked away and failed to perform his
duties, and the election is said TO have gone
by default Under these circumstances, a
Radical by the name of MORRIS, will claim
the seat by small majority. The people of
Cannon will not submit TO be thus cheated
out Of their birth-right and will assert their
rights at proper time and in a proper way.

Studying Politics under Diff
entities.

An old farmer in the interior of Ohio
writes to the Cincinnati Commercial, among
other readable matters, the following, which
is too good to be lost, and too true to be
forgotten:
One day, some time ago, John had been
to the station for me and brought home a
paper that was filled with great MANY
speeches, that had been made about bill
that our President had seen fit to disapprove
of. Wen, l took the paper to my corner,
and, although 1t was all In very small print
and tired my eyes very much, | read it ev-
cry bit. My good wife got tired of my for
ever sitting there, pouring over those long
'borations, as she termed them, and said
that l would do well to be reading my Bible
more, and such productions less ''Wife, :"
said /, the kingdom of heaven ism t in any
particular danger just now, but my country
is. +" After that she said nothing more
about it to me.
But the more Tread in that paper the more
bothered l became. / read a long speech
by Mr.. Henry Beecher, who seems to know
so much about everything but divinity, and
/ liked it because he supported our Presi-
dent, and our President, | thought, must
be IN very trying position nowadays.
Then L was upset by Mr.. Phillips, who
went into Mr. b. like L have seen little boys
attack hornets nests in the winter time
If such men differ, said [, ''who will de-
cideY' | had always before thought these
two would agree though the earth split.
Then | turned over the leaf wrong and
commenced on the latter part of somebody
else's speech. | liked it so much that I
read on and on until | finished it. Surely"
said | to myself, surely we have got one
good and true man in the land" The tone
of the speech reminded me of the good old
fashioned farewell address" of General
Washington, and | thanked God and took
courage
Then hunted up the beginning of the
speech, and could not believe my eyes when
] saw Alex. Ii. Stephens name to it. l
thought it must be Thaddeus Stevens, as he
was "Union, though the composition was
very much unlike the style of the gentle
man from Pennsylvania.
"Wife, said ], ''look here my glasses
are little dim; is that Alex. II. %
Alex. H." said she.
Not Thaddeus, said |.
Not Thaddeus, said she.
SIS the last name spelt with ", or with
'ph'?''
ing rebel speeches for, I'd like to know
He's the Slice President of the Confedera-
cy, and ought to be hanged in sour apple
tree instead of being loose and making bo-
rations.'
My wife is a little nebulous about names
and titles, but she is thorough going I'm
ion woman, and hates rebels with perfect
hatred. She was chairman of an aid society
during the war, and many time I've walked
up in the night and found her still sitting by
the dying fire, knitting socks for the poor
soldiers who were "a lying out on the cold
ground with nothing but their knapscats
and pontoons to cover them" ~
Then found that the speech was adj
dressed to the Georgia Legislature, and |
knew that 'Thad" would never take the
trouble to tell erring people how to go right,
though he is great on abusing them when
they go wrong.

EVERY third Republican you meet pro-
fesses to be opposed to Negro Suffrage So
far so good. Now, who is the representative
ofthe Negro Suffrage party in Pennsylvania ?
Who will be supported by Thaddeus Stevens,
VIM. ID. Kelley, John NJ. Broomal and the
balance of the Negro Suffrage Congressmen,
for Governor of Pennsylvania The answer
is, without the shadow of doubt, John W.
Geary. How, then, can Republicans
who are opposed to Negro Suffrage, vote
for Geary for Governor.

A SPONGE BATH.-Kendall, of the New
Orleans P;cayune, relates the following
which occurred In his presence recently at
Baden, in Germany:
At this juncture we were joined by an
English party, when the subject matter
brought under discussion was bathing. Il

at home said John Bull. SO do ], !" re-
torted Brother Jonathan. Winter and
Summer" continued the Englishman. My

Bull ''Rather chilly continued Jona-
than. "How cold?'' inquired John. so
cold that the water all freezes as it pours
down my back and rattles upon the floor in
the shape of hail l'' responded the Yankee
with the same cunning twinkle of the eye.
ssWere you in the next room to me IN Amer
lea, " he continued, ''and could hear me as
/ am taking my shower bath of morning,
you would think | was pouring dry beans
upon my back" The Englishman shrug-
ged his shoulders as with chill and mar
yelled.

CAMPAIGN SONG.-No. 1.
BY RAVEN.
Atr-,Jeferson and Liberty.

Ye Democrats be wide awake,
And of the times advantage take;
On this Campaign there's much at stake
Your country's Liberty.
We've stood together in many a storm,
And often felt the Tyrant' arm,
But now we need not feel alarm,
For we shall soon be free.
CHORUS:
Hurrah, Columbia's sons, Hurrah,
One effort more and we are free,
Well vote for Clymer and the law,
For Constitutional Liberty.
We've battled for each freeman's right,
Though sometimes worsted in the fight,
We never yet have lost the sight
OF white mems Liberty.
The Constitution and the laws,
Have been the objects of our cause,
And we're determined ne 'er to pause
Until success we see.
CHORUS: Hurrah, Columbia's s sons, &c.
To no false issue turn aside,
But on the rock of Truth abide,
Although Conservatives deride,
And Radicals may rave
For principles and not for men,
For Liberty and not for gain,
For freedom old and wide domain
We labor now to save.
CHORUS: Hurrah, Columbia sons, &c.
Give credit for each manly act,
Acknowledge every noble fact,
Defend the right whene'er attacked,
No matter done by whom.
But to none ELL turn around,
We say to all, wherever found,
That on this old, -honored ground
We welcome all that come.
CHORUS: Hurrah, Columbia sons, &c.
We'll join the true with heart and hand,
To drive the tyrant' from the land,
To oust the Abolition band
This niger loving crew.
All things are working for the State,
The RAIDS do Andy johnson hate,
Well have the Governor, sure as fate
And the next President too.
CHORUS Hurrah, Columbia sons, &c.

Z. DONNIE BR0wN's FIRST KISS had
reached the age of FIVE and forty without
having taken part In this hbial exercise.
One of his deacons had a very charming
daughter, and for a year or two the Dominic
found it very pleasant to call upon her three
or four times week, In fact, the neighbors
said that he was courting her, and very
likely he was, though he had not the re-
motest suspicion of It himself On Monday
evening, he was sitting as usual by her side,
when sudden idea popped into his head.
Miss Mary, said he, I've known you a
long time, and never thought of such a
thing before, but now would like you to
give me kissl VIII you?" ''Well, Mr..
Brown, replied she, arching her lips in a
tempting way IF you think it would not be
wrong, would have no objections
Let us ask blessing first, said the good
man, closing his eyes and folding his hands.
For what we are about to receive, the Lord
make us thankful. = The ehaste salute was
then given, and warmly returned. ssOh,
Mary, that was good u cried the Dominic,
electrified by new sensation, let us have
another and then return thanks.
Mary did not refuse, and when the opera
ton had been repeated, the Dominic ejacu-
lated IN a transport of ioy: For the crea-
ture comforts which we have now enjoyed,
the Lord be praised, and may they be sancti-
fed to our temporal and eternal good r.
History says that the fervent petitions of
the honest Dominic was duly answered, for,
in less than q month Mary became Mrs
Brown.

AWKWARD LEGIsLATIoN.-An number of

subjected to fines The Legislature passed
a new law changing the penalty for the of
fence, and the new act is contended to be an
e1 post focto law as to persons previously con-
victed, and as the old law is repealed, they
have escaped all punishment. In Boston
and its neighborhood it is stated that over
I,500 persons escaped, whose fines would per-
