HImOrs OF the POLITICAL Campaign.
The nomination in Maine of Philander J.
Carlton as o democratic candidate for Con-
press has provoked the revival of an ancient
Down East camp meeting hymn as sort of
electioneering dodge. The verses beginneth
thus (twanging metre):-
Rise, Philander, let's be marchin',
Ev'ry one his true love sarchin',
and so on. There are one hundred and nine
verses in the hymn originally, and when they
are sung with good resonant chorus of twang-
ing Yankee voices the effect is absolutely
astounding. There is no time for stump
speaking when that hymn is around.
The campaign in Kentucky has also been
initiated in manner that betokens the infu-
sion into it Of an unusual amount of fun and
drollery, as will be seen by brief sketch
given in another column. This reminds us of
those good old times when the lines were
drawn between whig and democrat, and when,
In Western electioneering campaign especi-
ally, the possessor of the greatest amount of
wit and repartee was sure to be the greatest
favorite with the voters.
We trust the spirit Of the political campaign
thus begun so cheerily will continue until the
victory is lost or won by either side. How
much happier it is for us to be thus indulging
in the humors Of pleasant political campaign
in republic than in the horrible campaigns
| of blood aud carnage which now mark tho
once fairest fields OF monarcbical Europel

scenes of military collision we have given
the most diversified, exact, complete and COM
prehensive letters and details, obtained with
out regard to risk or expense, and yet have
found no cause to make any particular pother
on the subject. The rules OF the Associated
Press require us to place all telegraphic news
received at the disposal of the other papers,
which, nevertheless, seem willing to claim the
entire credit. What we have done, are doing,
and intend to do, is In our ordinary everyday
habit of newspaper life, and there is no limit
to our exertion or to the efficiency of the
means we employ, utterly without regard to
cost, so that we shall but keep the
HERALD where it has ever been, at the
head of the worlds journalism in our
day and generation. In doing this we feel
that we discharge lofty duty to the profession
as we'll as to the public and to the age and
country in which our lot is cast. Good old
Bishop Horne has written that ''the follies
| vices and consequent miseries of multitudes
| displayed in newspaper are so many admo-
nitions and warnings, 80 many beacons con-
| tinually burning to turn others from the rocks
on which they have been shipwrecked." With
this view, and for the good Of the whole COM
munity, as well as for our own high satisfac-
ton, we continue to make the NEW YORK
HERALD the only thorough, all l-comprehensive
and absolutely reliable index of the age--the
only complete transcript of the life of men and
nations existing in this wonderful era wher

spectators enjoyed the scene hugely, and
seemed anxious to see the debtor get a
good thrashing. But he wouldn't fight
nor pay the debt, and, as his creditor
commenced to jerk him around very
rudely, and just as he had torn his collar
and shirt-bosom off, and was about to
land him in the gutter, an opportune
policeman came along and put an end
to the matter by leading the creditor of
10 Jail.
One of our Mississippi exchanges tells
this story of the loyal African as jury
man. Shortly after retiring, negro
said he was for Colonel rs and
Colonel M-g, and they should have
his verdick. A member kindly ex-
planned to him that that could not be
done, because Colonies H--s and
M-g were on opposite sides, and had
made speeches against each other The
negro thought a minute, during which
his mighty legal brain was racked by his
fingers that wandered through his wool.
He cut the gordian knot by a sentence
that would have done credit to Chief
Justice: Both Of them gemmens made
big speeches, and told me must find for
them; they didn't know | couldn't do
that; l tell you what I'll do: I'll find a
verdick for Colonel rs this time,
and next time / am gwine to fotch in one
for Colonel M-g. r"
The Brownsville Bee relates as fol-
lows: "a friend of ours has often COM
planned to us that his crops were terribly
in the grass, and that all of his hands
were sick. Every time he has gone out
for the past fortnight, he has seen that
not lick of work was being done, and
that the negroes were still sick. They
took no medicines, drew no rations, but
complained of being too sick to work.
They were frequently seen moping in
the fields, with tin buckets and cups in
their hands. When the mystery was
solved, our friend discovered that the
negroes had struck during blackberry
season, and were of opinion they could
support themselves. While entirely too
sick to work, they we're just well enough
to pick blackberries, and were not too i'll
to walk three miles through the hot sun
to sell them. And our friend is not the
only person who has suffered from the
same cause. 1t is well the blackberry
season is of short duration; # it lasted
all the time, most Of the negroes would
live by eating berries and sleeping under
trees"
