what One Vote Did.

A letter from Joseph r. Brown i'm the
indianapolis Sentinel rctells the good old
story illustrating the Importance of one
vote as follows:
..Forty years ago Col. Scaton, then
mayor of the city of Washington, as was
his custom gave u large dinner party, at
which / was present. In the course of the
entertainment the Importance of one vote
and it's consequences and good results
was among other things the subject of
conversation, and Gov. Corwin then
United States SENATOR, narrated i'm his i'm
imitable name the following, to show,
AN he said, the bad results as well as the
importance of one vote, and how a pig.
from whom the devil had not been cast
out, nearly, i'm his estimation, ruined the
country. to-wit: In the spring Of
Island, in one of the towns or precincts
the voting between the federal and repub-
lican Tor democratic. peace or war, par
more thar a majority of one ar two votes.
The polls closed at g o'clock, and a fed
eral farmer living a mile or SO distant
from the voting place, having been busy
all day. allowed himself just time to reach
the polls in the evening. He hurrietly
his last or division fence found one of his
valuable pigs fast between the planks and
stopped to get it out, which. he found more
with ali his strength to pull the pig out,
and failing i'm that tried to pry oil IA plank
from the fence, which, after some time;
he succeeded i'm doing. and then started
ON a run for the voting place. just as he
got within about 100 feet of II the town
clock struck d and the polls closed
without his vote. The result was that a
democrat or war representative from that
town was elected by one vote. When the
