“Men of all descriptions were allowed lo vote,
whether qualified or not; the sick, the lame, the

The above extract from the Constitutionalist of
October last, in reference to the election in Rich

nesdoy last, accompanied by a few comments. In
that paper of Thursday morning last, wo find a
veiy angry and iHuntured reply, in which we are
1 accused of perverting the sentiments and expres
gio,:’ contained in the above paragraph.

the object? Why say that men had IV' " r eeon
the inside of a carriage before, unless it was i. rl ‘*
tended lo carry an idea unfavorable to their re |
spoctabilily? We ask for what purpose was iho
assertion made, unless it was intended us a sneer,
a scull at those men? It nothing was intended,
why was any thing said? No, gentlemen, your
evasion will not do; you intended it as a mark of
ridicule, and any man with half sense can tec it!
If ;/onv candidates had succeeded in the election,
we should have seen no insinuations in your pa.
for about those who rode to the polls in carriages!
Von are mortified now, to see your own para
graphs quoted upon you, which you no doubt
hud hoped, would have been permitted n< dumber |
in the files trf your paper. The. sight of your j
own ungainly progeny which you had fain hoped j
Was bui It'll 111 Obtivi.in, tijv.i.o lltru vu , into t

fear will bring you to “the death!”
The ligmarolc of the Constitutionalist about j
the Van IJurcn leaders being poor men, is all j
mere stud'. Some of liio Van Union loaders in !
the city are belling their hundreds on the election,
If they are so poor as the Constitutionalist repre

For the purpose of having an influence upon 1

Van Bttrenism is running tloivn as fast as a

ing i- the last evidence of this fact. We copy
Irnin the Derby Lino (Vt.) Democrat:
“This is the last number wo shall issue in tins

j ; the paper continued until after election,' then the
j party will say as the devil said, when he put his
\ tail between the bars of the prison—‘You may
j go to , you tar daubiuff scoundrels.’
To prove the assertion, in ono instance, a certain
j individual sunt in a list of sixty (luce names as
subscribers, from one town. We saw the inclivi
(•dual soon after, and during the conversation ho
1 remarked, that lie did not think they would all
j become regular subscribers. We inquired of him
bow many lie thought would. Well, lie did not
know; they wanted to lake it a spell and see how j
they liked it. Upon further inquiry, heconclud
cd that we should have as many as elefex ffcotl
■ subscribers. We presume the man was told by
i a certain person, to say to them, that they could
| have the paper six or eight weeks, and if they
liked it they might subscribe; il not, why, slop. 1
And farther, an individual promised to furnish
one hundred suhsciihcrs, for his part. But what
has lie done? Never sent us a solitary name, nor
lias he to much as subscribed lor a copy for him- .
self.” ‘

On Monday morning, 17di inst., in Columbia

in 1 lie 45i h year of his age. As a Christian,
citizen and neighbor, die community in which
bo lived mourns bis loss—with bis bereaved fam

cur loss lias been his gain.
In Mount Zion, at the house of Alien Gilbert,
Esq. on the 3(Hh inst., Dr. Hknbt 13. Barks*,

terioiis and afflictive dispensailon of Divine
Providence, an aged mother has been deprived of

valued and endeared kinsman, and a lame circle

form testimony of those acquainted with lu.n from
bis earliest childhood, that never have they
known a life so blameless and lovely in all ils
rclntionships, and under ;.a the circumstances in
which lie was placed, lie had always a high
sense of moral lesponsibilily, a puriiy of life,
and a harmlessness of deportment, which those
who understood the principles that actuated him,
ever a trihuled to tlio teachings and influenep of
the spirit of God. About a year ago, be became
deeply concerned for the welfare of his soul while
attending a meeting, whore considerable religious
excitement was felt. Ho saw him-df to boa
sinner, and earnestly entreated the favor and
forgiveness of an offended God through the merits
of a crucified Saviour. He was blessed with the
hope that bis sins were pardoned and his prayers
heard, and this hope be never afterwards resign,
ed, although he did not make a public profession
of icligion. This he hesitated to do, fearing to
deceive himself and others,and because be thought
his conduct was so far beneath the standard o of
holiness which the Bible held up before him.
His humility was ever one of ihe must lovely
and engaging trails in bis character. Though
be was highly endowed in mind ami person, and
in those qualities of the heart which gain ndmi.
ration, and though bis whole deportment in the
family where he resided, and towards every one
with whom ho canto in contact, was such as to
excite their esteem and approval, yet lie uniform
ly seemed unconscious that lie possessed merit of
any kind whatever, and received kindness with
feeling and gratitude, ascribing it t„ any thing
but Ids own (le.-erls. But if his life was attract
live and estimable, (arid to such a degree was it
so, (hat we feel how inadequate is language lo
convey eur own deep and fervid impression of
the mine than earthly beauty of his character.)
yet was the closing scene of that short life filled
