THOMAS PAINE.-Tt is related that
when the fathers OF our Republic were
in council, and in great doubt and des>
pondency in relation to the oppressive
course of Great Britain, Thomas Paine
who was present, sprang from his chair
and cried out, s. let US declare lndePen>
dence !"
This, we have reason to think, was
the first public suggestion of that great
event; perhaps the first, absolutely.
1t is told ttat when Paine was imprls-
oned in Paris, by order of Robespierre,
man was sent round each morning to
mark cross on the cell doors OF tae
prisoners who were doomed to execu-
tion on that day. One merning that
officer happened to be drunk; Paine's
door stood open as he passed, and the
fatal mark was made on the inside
Presently, before the executioneer Rad
come, the deor was closed, aud Paine
was saved, TO write the second part OF
the Age of Reason" and to make the
first declaration of American Indepen-
dence.

Is Stanley a Fraud!

We reproduce the subjoined special
to the st. Louis De,nocrut: js-
NEW YORK, August 2S.-The efforts
of several papers in the last few days
to show that Stanley's discovery OF
Livingstone is a pretense arc the
general topics of conversation, and the
opinion rapidly increases that the
whole affair is n hoax. Important
revelations concerning this matter are
promised in u day or two by several
persons who know Stanley, and We're
familiar with his plan ut tho time of
the expedition to Abyssinia and previ-
Gus to his departure for Zanzibar.
Several scientific gentlemen discussed
the subject last evening, and their opin-
ion was unanimous that Stanley's-
story is false. Compa risons Of Livings
toms letter to Bennett with the pri-
vatc letters Of Stanley show a wonder
full similarity of handwriting, anQ
several experts pronounce them iden-
teal. Discrepancies pointed out by
the World and the Sun are to be followed
by others. The letter to Livincs cons
brother in Canada has been set for,
and pages from it will be compared
with the private letters known to be
from Stanley's hand. a private letter
from member of the Royal Geogra-
phical Society of London says corrobo-
rating proofs are daily increasing that
Stanley went to Africa as far rs Ungu-
yemba, when he learned of Livings-
tones death, and obtained his diary and
several other articles belonging to him.
Knowing it to be u great feat to find
Livingstone alive he concluded to
make up a story and fabricate letters to
corroborate his own statements. His
denunciation of DeLirl< is considered
part of the plan to break the force of
the letters. The exposure of Stanley's
frauds and remarks about tt 0 slave
trade are intended to divert attention.
The letters say the English savans are
nearley unanimous in regarding STAN
iey's story with distrust, and believe
that he has imposed upon the Herald
and through it upon the whole world. 1
: a New York dispatch of the twenty
ninth ultimo says: 'F
The Herald denies the inputation oI
fraud cast upon Stanley's discovery of
Livingstone, and gives the evidence of
former correspondents of Livingstone,
Il son of Professor Stearns, Of Amhearst
College, who testify to the belief that
the letters received from Livingstone
are in the travellers handwriting, and
not Stanley's.

scope.

tTron tho San francisco Bulletin, Aug. II
Professor Davidson, of the ConSt Sur
vcy, is pcrimenting near Summit
Station, on the Sierra Nevada, at an ell
ovation 1900 feet above the sea, to de-
terrnine the relative importance ofgteat
and small attitudes in tho use of the
telescope for Investigations Of physical
astronomy. 1t is understood that he
has been completely successful, and
will recommend q location about 1O,-
600 feet above the sea near the line Of
the Central Pacific Railroad, from
which it can be readily reached by a
short and easily constructed wagon
road. Professor Young, Of Dartmouth
College, has been experimenting with
larger Instruments, ut Sherman, on the
Rocky Mountains, at an elevation of
S,242 feet above thesea.
The results of these observers will be
presented in reports that will probably
lead to the locating Ofthe etwenty-seven
inch refracting telescope at one of these
elevations. The lenses for this teic-
scope are being ground by the Mcssrs.
Clark, Of Cambridgeport, Mass, for the
United States Government, at an cx-
pense of nearly fifty thousand dollars.
With such n telescope, and the high
| magnifying power of which it will adj
nit the use, there is not over one or
two nights per year on the low ATTAIN
tic coast where it could be used with
its highest magnifying powers. ON
the Sierra, with our long freedom from
clouds many more favorable opportu-
mites must exist for observations, and
we may look forward for marvellous
revelations in physical astronomy,

Claiborne Parish In tho June Convention.
At the request. OF the Advocate, we
copy the following: F .s".E
An article headed the s'l.iberal Boil

ing for Il future convention and rs such
was voted down by w. r. Blackman,
assisted by Judge Young and Napier
Bartlett.
throw against the resolution, under
tho impression that another for ad-
jorr lnent without nomination, and
which expressed tho liberal Wishes
where the other did not, would be i'm
mediately after offered. 1t was owing
to the strong appeal made by demo-
Gratis who were supposed to favor CO.
operation that tho resolution was by
tho Claiborne delegation voted down,
and for tho truth of these facts we call
upon Col. McEncry as II witness. The
surprise felt by the delegates at the un-
expected turn which matters were sub
sequently made to take, leu to the alb
senting of Messrs. Young and Bartlett
from the Convention, and to the express
sion at the time, of the same views,
which they have since maintained.
Lastly, n refusal to be buond by the ac-
tion of the Convention, and Il with
drawnl from the Claiborne delegation
was reduced to writing by one of the
delegates. The Withdrawal of the 9TH
ers in writing would have followed, but
for Il doubt entertained that they ought
not to formally separate the parish
from the party until dclibcntien in
public meeting. This latter was sub
sequcntly done, and the delegates have
done nothing more than abide by the
unanimously expressed will of the par
iSh, to which alone and not to any con-
vcntiOn, they were Responsible.

Moral COntagion.

In a short pamphlet of twenty-four
pages DIR. Despine treats of a matter
observed by all who read the newspa
pers-we mean the fact that crimes,
particularly those of q graver descrip-
tion, generally occur In epidemics. To
prove this point, DIR. Despine, In the
tirst division of his paper, records u
| large number Of murders, suicides, rob-
| berries, &c. on these 1t is not necessary
to dwell, but we shall pass on to his
second division--the law which regu-
lates moral contagion. The following
| Is what is said ON this matter: Moral
contagion, being a natural phenomc-
non, is consequently one OF the laws to
which God had subjected ali created
things. We succeed in the discovery
of this law by analyzing moral facts
and by studying the circumstances in
which they occur, in the same manner
rs we succeed in discovering the laws
which preside over the phenomena of
tho physical and organic worlds, by
studying perseveringly the facts apper-
tanning thereto as we'll as the conditions
in which they are produced. Now, the
conclusion to be drawn from the facts
which we have related is forcibly this,
which will represent the law that has
directed the commission Of these acts:
Every manifestation of tho instincts Of
mind, of the sentiments and passions
in individuals who are capable Of feel
ing them in II certain intensity. This
law explains how II certain act infects
some and not others. One could not
better compare mans moral nature
than to n sounding board (ta6ie t''hor
moyfe.) The sounding of one note eau
sos vibrations in the Same note in all
the boards, which, being susceptible
of emitting it, are Influenced by the
sound emitted. In the same way, the
manifestation of Il sentiment, ola pas
sion, cXciteS the same instructive Gle
ment in every individual susceptible,
by his moral constitution, of feeling
more or less acutely this same instinct

Scnfing the Vow.

n correspondent of the New York
Commercial Advertiser, writing from
the Round Lake camp meeting, tells
the following story:
Many people sleep in the same tent
here, being separated by partitions. AS
young Methodist fellows are thrown
with pretty young ladies Il good deal, it
is nothingagainst them that they some
times fall in love.
a young Methodist fellow from Ball
pretty daughter of II religious farmer.
Last night, while q dozen Of old cold
hearted fellows were trying to sleep,
they were continually disturbed by the
lovers spooney talk which they dis
tinctly heard through the cotton cloth
partition.
They heard him say in IL low, sweet
Clarendon voice, "Now, Caroline, dear,
do let me seal the vow-doW
"No, James, I can not. What would
my father and mother say?" replied IL
sweet girlish voice.
"But, Caroline, you have promised
to be mine-now let us seal tho vow
let us, do let us-won't you ?---do kiss
me!'
ono, james, I cannot, O, cannot--"
In Il moment the tent partition part

wanted to sleep, shouted, "For Gods
sake, Carrie, let Jim seal that vow.
Hen keep us awake all night If you
dOn't.'
That vow was scaled.

The evidence of Radical frauds has
become so palpabic and mountainous
in n Orth Carolina that the Democratic
Liberal allied managers have ut last
determined to contest the election of
Caldwell. In view of the facts, any
other course would be Il manifest in
Jury to the Conservative majority of
votes. 1t is clear that the apparent
majority against McrrimOn and the
friends of reform was procured by the
most impurtcnt intimidation, bribery,
false registration, manipulation Of re-
turns and other corrnpt pratices on the
part of the GRANTEES; and the circular
Of the Liberal Executive Committee
announcing the proposed investigation
and trial, truly promises that it is no
more than due to the honest people of
all parts that these frauds should be ex-
posed, the laws enforced and the purity
of the ballot-box maintained. The cir
cufar has been widely distributed
amung the friends of reform through
out the State. 1t urges the recipients
to cooperate with the committees In
ensuring the ultimate triumph of right
and justice. The sentiment which aC-
tuatcs the North Carolina Conservatives
is the sentiment of the Liberal party
everywhere. There Is no disposition
to deprive Mr.. Caldwell of any Office to
which he is entitled; bnt the honest
voters of any country are sick of the pre-
vaiiing taint of Radical corruption, and
are determined to eradicate it.
