About Swapping.
MORRIsToWN, Nov. 1, 1878.

MORRISTOWN, Nov. l, 1878.
Mr.. EDITOR: l see in your issue
of to-day an intimation that Hon.
r. G. Samsel is likely to be
snapped at the election on Tues
day. [ hope you are mistaken. [
hope, in view of the fact that Sam
sci, and not only Samsel, but the
ticket will be elected, for the
Republicans of Granger county
have always given the candidate for
the Senate from Knox and other
counties the full party vote. We,
as we'll as yourselves, have had ex-
citing local and Congressional cleo
tons, but we have never heard of a
single vote being snapped off of
the Senatorial candidate, and we
hope Knox county will not begin a
swapping that is disgraceful. That
is political robbery. Taking
Samsel's vote for some one else,
thus robbing him of his right, be-
sides the man who swaps Samsel off
gets badly cheated. He swaps a
man who would not stoop to such
tricks to win his election for one
who though his friends encourages
this political robbery, and has thus
proven unworthy Of their support.
We that know Samsel intimately,
know that he will not stoop to such
trickery; he is above any low cum
ming tricks. We know that he is
to be relied upon at all
times. We know him to be emil
nently well qualifed-an entirely
self-made man, well educated, a
good farmer and successful
lawyer, all of which he
has acquired by his own energy
and perseverance. Those who know
him best admire him most; and be-
sides if Knox county goes back on
Grainger's fayorite candidate it
will net be the last of it, but the
of disgraceful system
Of swapping that we have stubborn
Iy avoided in the past, but which
will tell in the future.
Vote for Samsel. There is no
better man offering for any Office
l am, very respectfully,
E. o. TATE.

Children Never Live Long.

When they are not carried away
in little collins and laid forever in
the silent grave, they become
transformed so rapidly that we lose
them in another way. The athletic
young collegian, the graceful belle
of society, may make proud the
parental heart, but can they quite
console it for the eternal loss of the
little beings who plagued and en-
liyened the early years of marriage?
A father may sometimes feel q
legitimate and reasonable mclan-
choly as be contemplates the most
promising of little daughters, full
of viVacity and health. How long
viii the child remain to him. She
Will be altered in six month, in six
years she will be succeeded by d
totally different creature crea-
ture new in flesh and blood and
bone, thinking other thoughts and
speaking other language, There is
a sadness even in that change,
which is increase and progression,
for the glory of MONDAY has de-
stroyed the sweet delicaey of the
deWy Aurora, and the wealth Of
summer has obliterated the fresh
ness of the spring.

ing Democrats, who are ready to
| fly on q Republican every time he
speaks his sentiments. Beware OF
these little snakes that are crawl
ing around in the First District, for
that is the way the devil sometimes
makes his appearance. In my
brief | will notice some of the
leading features, excepting the
Jonesboro' Times, which is beneath
the dignity of dog, and too in
sigfcant to even be mentioned.
tAnd | would say right here that
the little pop-gun (thc Morristown
Gazette, with its eyes as red
as two red lights to an engine
after night, its bloated face re-
sembling a pumpkin with candle
in it in the dark, and belly hung
to it that attracts as much attention
as a show, is nice specimen of
humanity to talk about other folks
making use Of liquor. In fact if [
were the editor of that paper |
would try and get it to join the
Good Templars, or some other
order Of temperance; and every
time it blows off its slang it GER
tain1y makes votes for Pettibone.
Keep a sharp lookout for Demo
cratic bulldozers, for they are out
electioneering loaded down with
documents worse than a she opos-
sum with her kittens in the summer
season. | need not take time to
tell you of the great requirements
Of Maj. Pettibone as a man who is
ripe in the knowledge of political
affairs and wants of the laboring
class, because the most of you
have listened to the great talent
of that highly cultivated gentleman
who is able to elucidate the mys-
teries of this great government of
ours. The weak efforts of Mr.. Tay-
lor with his slang is enough to dis
gust both parties. But Bob is
young, you know, and by persever-
ance may make a man yet. But
he must learn something else be-
sides slang phrases. The gent who
wrote the epitaph of Green and
others for that large Morristown
Gazette will bring in another horse,
Is he will be out Of business after
he election.
In conclusion, l would say if the
upper end of the district is as de-
on Petitioners election as
his, he will come out with a major
ty of fifteen hundred. Stand to
your guns and victory is yours.

ROGERSVILLE. Nov.

NOGERSVILLE, NOV. L.
Mr.. EDITOR: l am glad to be
able to write you that the Repub-
leans here are in excellent spirits in
regard to the Congressional election
in this District. This Is no cleo
tioneering statement made merely
for effect. We now feel that there
can hardly be possible chance Of
Maj. Pettibone being defeated.
There is no one, 1 think, in this
section who will deny that he has
been gaining ground in the last two
or three weeks. The Democrats
have overdone the thing in heaping
abuse on Maj. Pettibone. They
have drivenlsthe few Republicans
who did feel like supporting Taylor,
back again, and l don't know
of a single one about here
now who refuses to sup
port Pettibone, while on the other
hand l have good reason to believe
there are some Democrats who will
vote for him, or at any rate,
"scratch" Taylor. We want some

Dangers that Threaten Young Men

Dangers that Threaten Young Men
Standard o. the Cross.
DIR. John Hall delivered, some
time ago, a lecture on "The Perils
of the Times" Among other things
he treats of dangers that threaten
young men as young men. He
mentions four. First, the danger
of shallowness, which arises from
the hurry and hustle and state of in
tense activity in which we live. In
dividual capacities are not trained
to their highest perfection. The ad-
vice is given to young men that it
would be well for them to be mas
tiers of some one thing. The second
danger arises from a mistaken con
ception of what success really is.
Money has come to be considered
the ideal of success. And allied to
this mistake is a false notion of gen.
tility. 1t is said to be the fact that
throughout New England it is ex~
tremely difficult to persuade young
men to become mechanics, farmers,
or laborers. The young men are
filled with the idea that they must
60 to the large cities. This is an
unhealthy condition of things. All
honest work is honorable if done in
a right spirit.
Another peril is caused by a GER
tain unsettledneSs in life. 1t is ex-
tremely easy in this country to pass
from one line of life to another.
The very thought in the minds of
young men that they can easily
pass to another line of work, if they
become dissatisfied with their pres
ent employment, djsinclines them to
direct their whole energies upon
the work in hand. DR.. Halls ad.
vice is: Choose slowly, deliber-
ately, with the best advice, and per-
haps later than young men are or
dlnarlly accustomed to do, and then,
when the occupation has been de-
cided upon, stick to it. Another
danger comes from the enervating
influences that surround young men.
DR.. Hall said he had not a word to
say against true pleasures but he
spoke of those pleasures that
weaken and unfit men for stern,
hard work. 1t is said sometimes
that the reins are drawn too tight. !
But no one who had stood by as
many death-beds as he had seen
would say that the reins could be |
drawn too tight.

a word to the voters of the First
Congressional District. / have been
watching the movements of the
Democratic party in that district
for some time and the way they have
vituperated Maj. Pettibone with
their shameless tales and forged
letters. l deem it my duty as a
Republican to vindicate him in
every respect, knowing him to be a
gentleman in every sense of the
word, highly esteemed by all who
are intimately acquainted with
him, having the capacity to fill any
Office and acquit himself with honors
that would please the most scrutin-
izing, and knowing him to be en-
tirely worthy of the Office to which
he now aspires. 1t is keenly i'm
pressed on my mind that it stands
every Republican in hand to go
to work and help to put
down these hideous, vilifying, OBJ
noctious, notorious, disgraceful,
slanderous, intolerable, shameful,
ridiculous, unprincipled, malignant,
outlandish reports that have been
handed around by INSCRIPTIONS
Democrats. Mr.. McCrary de-
nouncing the letter in the Tribune

a forgery ought, and does, evince to

them to secure TaylOr's election.

Almost sweet is unsavory; al
