POLITICAL SMUGGLING. Il

It is no exageration to say that in an Open
fair canvass, Gorham could not obtain one
vote out Of ten in the party 10 which he
claims to belong, in this State FOR Sen tor;
and yet Carr, Sargent, Stanford, Stow, and
very few others are trying TO smuegle him
into that office. As an attempt at fraud, 1t
has never been paralleled. When question
ed upon the subject. they say that "Gor-
bamis not a candidate; hut if lie is a'candi-
date, he will he sure 10 be elected" and
they are straining every nerve to 40 Fix up
matters that he can declare himself a'candi
date after the election is over The State
has been thoroughly traversed by 'secre,
agents of the conspiracy. The Federal brig
ade has been drafted into the service; and
no stone has been left untuned that might
add TO the support of the railroad ring can
ddate in the Legislature. Not daring to
proclaim him before the people they have re-
sorted to every conceivable political trick
that could be thought Of to augment his
chances. Carr, Sargent and compaSy have
been in consultation alnos, daily and nightly
ever since their return from Washington, and
they have not despaired d success, though
al times the struggle has seemed desperate,
and they have doubted whether tie numer
ous offices and vast patronage of the'general
government on this coast, which they were
freely using, would be insufficient to accom-
psh so Herculean task. The great diff
culties of the case have only redoubled the
ry their courage has been renewed by the
emphatic enumeration Of the redoubtable
Carr, that George 81 all be Senator, by
Gosh!' 10 appreciate this declaration it must
be rememb red that Carr and George are
bosom friends and loon companions. Their
tastes are identical, and their intimacy rivals
that of Damon and Pyihias but ahich is
the Damon and which is the Pythias, has
not been shown. George, however, is the
more pithy, and slight corruption Of the
word Damon would give it a betilting apli-
cation TO Carr Uncle Toby WAS not more
emphatic in his asseveraiion about Corporal
Trim than is Carr in the expression of his
determination to make George Senator. The
oath that accompanies the oft repeated dec
Llaton of Carr, is little modified; bni
then Carr is less profiine than was Uncle
Toby, the fact being that Carr is passibly
good man, else how could he have the con-
tidence and cooperation of such high-ton
ed citizens as Sargent, Stanford and Stow
So things are running at this end Of the
schooner, and in the mean time. Companion
George, is to make himself scarce, until after
election, when he will come, post haste, and
assist in counting up the results.-S. r.

PARADoxIls The word otlige is subject
to paradoxical construction. When YOU
oblige man TO do thing which he does
not want 10 do. you may disoblge him at
the same time. 1t has been remarked that
there is a very great difference between
church where the gospel is dispensed, and
one where It is dispensed WITH We have
often heard of The story Of low the Cap
tain Of a canal boat cried '"Eook out" to
his passengers, and when they were going
under bridge, and how Frencbman
| oked out accordingly and received a hump
on his head; but 1t has never been decided
that The Frertlitnan took atty incorrect or
unusual Specification from fhe words. 1t
has never been decided whether house
burns up or down. The question whether
man who falls froh boat and is rescued
from drowning is pulled out or pulled in,
depends mainly Whether you are speaking
primarily df tlie boat or the water. Some
one has noticed that people say they shell
peas wheh they unshell them; that they
husk corn when they unhusk it; that they
scale fishes when they unscale them, and
that gardens want wedding when they are
weedy enough.

cried, in n terrible voice, and drawing a
dagger from his pocket, the stranger com
menced an onslaught on the pair. A des-
perrte struggle ensued, the consequence of
which might have been fatal but for the in
reference of the other lodgers in the house.
who were alarmed by the disturbance. NJ.
Guillaume was discovered lying on the floor
pierced with seven wounds, two of which
were serious; while his wife lay by his side,
also in a state of ilisensibility, though fotu-
nately unhur'. Tie bride and bridegroom,
it was discovered subsequently, had been
the victims Of an unfortunate mistake. Mr..
C, a lodger in the house, WHO occupied
an apartment similar to that of M. Gull

made mistake in coming home, and thought
he had surprised his wife in an act of inf
