We also want . good man, q sober man
and an honest man. The Office is an i'm.
portaut one, and enc in which all are in
terssted. Do not let personal matters d.
vide Us on this question. Select q good
penman, correct book keeper, and man
with whom you can trust papers of any and
all importance. II will be hard for the
Convention to secure more correct man,
aud more faithful servant than The pres
ent incumbent, Mr.. Alexander Campbell.


FOR COUNTY sCPlRIHTlNDAxr OF PUBLIC
INSTRUCTION


We want man who loves children, takes
an interes, in their Welfare, is devoted to
the cause of education and takes pride in
its progress. He must be educated and
appreciate the advantages thereof. Tho
the Office receives but little attention from
the masses, yet it is an important one,
directly connected with the foundation of
our society. 1t is hard to find an able
and competant man that will spend his
time in attending 10 the duties of that Of
fce, yet such man We must have if he
can be found.


FOR COUNTY ATTORNEY


We shall be puzzled to get candidate.
This is also an important Office, but one
that is not very remunerative in sparse
" settled counties. A lawyer by pro-
fsssion, that is good for anything, will
not attend to the Office generally. and it
is only by hard coaxing that an able
man can be persuaded to accept it. We
hope the delegates of the people will
not treat this Office lightly, but'try and
persuade some competent nan to fill it.

WHERE A VOTER CAN DEPOSIT HIS BAILor.-
BY the recent decision Of the Supreme Court the
TACT is established that an elector cannot vote
ontsde OF the district or ward in which he resides


heretofore. Tor State otiicels, men have voted
wherever they might have been, within the State
ON election day. and for county officers anywhere
within the county. We understand by this deci-
sion thot hereafter a man cannot vote for State
and county officers, except in the township where
he has gained legal residence. Such has been
the case in many OF the old States for years back


In order to be Il qualified elector. one must have

The farther north you go, in voyaging
along the Norwegian coast during the
months Of june and July. the brighter and
longer becomes the daylight until at last
you arrive at the regions OF perpetual day.
The exquisite charm of this novel state of
things is utterly beyond the comprehension
of those who have not experienced it
Apart altogether from the gladdening infiu-
ence Of sunshine, there is something de-
lightfully reckless in the feeling that there
is no necessity whatever for taking note OF


the fight of time--no fear lest we should,
| while wandering together, or perchance
alone among the mountain, or in the deep
ravines be overtaken by night During
several weeks we lived in the blaze Of long
\ nightless day.


! / do not use hyperbolical language when
/ speaking Of this perpetual daylight. Du-
/ ring several weeks, after We crossed the
! Arstic circle, the sun descended little more
| than its own diameter in the horizon each


night, SO that it had scarcely set when it


rose again. aud the diminution Of the light


was quite insignificant. it did not approach
in the slightest degree the twilight. If l


had been suddenly awakened during the


twenty-tour hours, in the cabin of the yacht,
or in any place from which it was impossi-
bic TO observe the position Of the sun, /
cOulu not nave tDlu whether III was night OF
day. Having said that it is almost super
huous to add that We could, even in the cab
in, read the smallest print at midnight as
easily as at noon-day. Moreover, clear
midnight was absolutely brighter than
cloudy forenoon. Nevertheless, there was
a distinct difference between night and day
"a difference with which light had nothing


to do l am inclined to think that the in
calculable myriads Of minute and invisible
creatures with which God has filed the sol
itude of this world, even more largely than
! its inhabited parts, exercise much more
! powerful influence on our senses than we


suppose. During the day time these teem
;. ing millions, busting about in the activity


of their tiny spheres, create an actual,


though unacceptable noise. do not re-
fer to gnats flies, so much as to those
atomic insects whose individual voices are


never heard but whose collective hum is a
fact that is best proved by the silence that


follows its cessation. In the evening these
all retire to rest and night is marked by a


deep impressive stiffness, which we are apt


enormously to suppose is altogether the re


suit of that noisy giant, man, having beta


ken himself to his lair. Yet this difference


between night and day was only noticeable


when we were alone, or very quiet; the pre-
ponderating noises resulting from CON


versation or walking were more than sufi
cient to dispel sweet influence

The Boston Traveller relates the follow
ing:


FLast evening, horse attached to the
forward wheels Of buggy ran from the
American stable in Sudberry street, through
Alden street to Court street. As the ami
NAL turned the corner in Court street, an
iron step attached to the shaft caught in the
hoop skirt of Mrs. Church lady residing
in Newtownville, and was dragged through
Court street, Bawdoin square and Cam
bridge street, to Stamford street, before
the animal could be stopped Every spec
tator supposed the lady would be killed, but
upon being extricated it was ascertained
that she had sustained no other injuries
than severe bruises on the head, face and

To oppose the nation in carry ing on

Of war. fierce. bloody. relentless war,

Do no! be startled. reader, at these

ty years-from boyhood to the presen,
time-and We have found them ready
for anything that was popular. No dif.
ference how great the change. nor how
complete the denial of former views,
they have always turned about when it
became expsdient to do so in order to
catch the popular current. They al
ways try to get astride the highest wave
of public sentiment, and ride it into Of

The val is popular; abolitionism is
becoming the fixed sentiment Of the
nation on the subject of Slavery; these
men see it; they will jump on the hob

portion of the Democratic party at
least, will be the radical elemeu. in the

will cry out for war for an amendment
Of the constitution to prohibit slavery;

The Conservative is considerably ex.
ercised over the fact that We took back
our censure Of the Legislature on be-
ing convinced that We had been mis-
taken in reference to the work it waa
doing. We are moi surprised at this;
for it is notoriously the practice of that
journal never to correct a statement
made in its columns, after il is clearly
demonstrated to be incorrect; and We
presume the reason is that it has an
idea there is something dishonorab!e in
giving the truth in regard to matter
about which the editor had been mis-.
taken or in error. We think, on the
con,ray. that it is not only honorable to
correct mistakes, but fashionable and
dishonest not to do SO, especially, when
the mistake is calculated to injure or do
injustice TO others. Hence, We not on
ly make i: practice. but hold il 10 be
duty, to correct any error of state
meni into which We may have been led
by par,isl information, or false reports.
And as every man is liable to error. and
will be while humanity is fallible. this
is the only correct rule. notwilhstand
ing the Conservative entirely ignores it.

There are many distinguished politicians in
this State whose zeal is greater than their in
formation, who always speak of Jefferson as
one Of the trainers Of the Constitution OF the
United States. At the time the Constitutional
Convention was in session, Jefferson was in
France. As he was the author of the De-
claration Of Independence, which usually ac-
companies the Constitution, many educated
people fall into the error of thinking he also
assisted in framing our great Magma Charta.
The Declaration Of Independence was writ
ten some IL years prior to the adoption of
the Constitution. In the meantime, Jetfer-
son had gone abroad and was residing in
Paris while the Fathers Of the Revolution
were framing our Constitution. In fact,
many of the features Of that instrument were
distasteful to him. The statesmen of that
day were divided in their opinions on the
document, and it would perhaps be as well for
those Of this period to amend it SO as to keep
pace with the progress Of the country, in
stead of looking back upon it as the perfec-
ton of human wisdom. The wisdom Of one
generation often appears to be folly to the
next. When people have outliyed Con-
stitution adapted to one epoch, they should
bury it as they would the illustrious dead who
produced it, and create new one to meet the
necessities Of the age.-Caiareras Chronicle.
