Another Caspar IlAUSEn. A Paris paper
(the Gazette de3 Tribuneaux) gives the follow.
ing curious story :
Thc day beforc yestcrday, in conscquence of
informalion givcn by a poor woman named
Willard who, after being six months in the Ilo
lel Uieu, was at the point of death, a commis
sary of police repaired to the Iodging of her
husband, a painter in porceline in the ruc Po
pincourt, No. 40. Iu adark closet belonging
to Willard's Iodging he discovered rolled up,
rather than stretched, upon a heap of damp
straw, a young man about 20 years of age,
whose haggard countenance, emaciated and
bent body, and almost powerless limbs, gave
roofs of long suffering, insufficient food, and
continued Jeprivation of fresh air and exercisc.
From tlie various admissions of Willard, and
the informalion collected by the comissary of
police from the other inmntes of the house, it
uppcars that this unfortunate youth has been
kept a close prisoner, and subjcct to continued
ill-treatment siuce the day of his birth. He
novcr went out of his parcnt's room, was nev-
er.seen by any body, and, in fact, his ,existence
was never .suspected. The motivcs of this
horrid treatment havo not transpired.
A London paper states tliat on the night of
the 3d August, an inqucst was held on the body
of William Blake, an Atncrican meichant, who"
was found drovvncd in the Thames, with such
severe marks of violence on his person as to
lead to a strong suspicion thai he liad come to
his death by uufair means. The deccascd be

HEAR YE!
Those of our patrons who do not doubt that
" the laborer is tcorthy of his hire, are remina
ed that we have tabored for ihem near a year
and a half, without any substantiat token that
they sincerely believc the above truth. It is
the corner.stone of our hopes, and should be
that of their praclice. If this is their view of
the mattcr, will thev make it manifest ?
Tue Election. Wehave not yet obtained
returns from all the towiis. The vote for Gov
en or will probably exbibit a rnajority for Jenison
somewhat larger than last vear. There hashecn
a very general increase in'his majonty, except in
the " infected district,1' ;ere there will proba
bly be found some little diminution. The resulf

in tlie 4th distnct nrovewrerv much as stajed
tast week. The St. Ar3eins Messenirer sti
t&feAlrSmith, ihesofuxtn candidate'waml
some 10 vuies oi a majoruy, as me reiurns nav
been stated. Probably a full return of the scalS
tering votes will increase the number to near 100.
The Whigs hove gaincd from 30 to 40 in the
House. The Senate remains 20 to 10 the same
as last year. Mr. Ilall is cWcted to Congress
from the first disirict.by about 2000 majority. Mr.
Slade, from tlie second, by about 2000 ; and Mr.
Everett, from the third, by 2500 majoiity. In
the fifth district, the majority ofMr. Fletcher is
about 300.
On the whole, the result has mct thc most
sanguine cxpectations of the advocates of true
republican principles. Two to one in the House,
twoto one in the Senate, and five to one in our
Congressiunal delegation, is enough in all con
science. More than this would be " monopoly."
It the Whigs in other states do not give a full
" tluee times three" for the Green Mcuntain
State, we hope it will bo because they are dcti-r-
mined to do better themselves.
Mai.ve. The election in Maine took place on
Monday of last week. Full returns have not
been receiveJ, but the Locofocos claim a majori
ty, and we see no ground for doubting tliat they
haye it. We give it up for the nresent, at least.
Wc can almust rejoice to see them have one more
opportunity to shout a glorious victory. And if
they can find any satisfaction in comparing their
present majority of some three thrusand with thc
ten or twclve thouractbey liad in Maine a year
or two ago, we hope they w 11 be permitted 10
enjoy it undisturbcd. We shall say nothing to
blunt their relish for this last meagre morsel of
jlory," as it is more than questinnable whether
they ever roll another upon their tongues. Go
it, gentlemen, and we will help you. Hurrah for

thc " great folks" gave them leave to go in

thc truth, it would cxhibit them as " good men

rcsent, that in their view, thc vcnding of ardent
spirita- for thc purpose of being used as a drink,
is lmmoral : that it tenus to perpetuate intem
perance : a vice at war with public good and
indiviJual happincss ; the prolific parent of a
large proportion of the pauperism and crinic in
the community. c
In vic'.v of your memorialists, you aro dircct-'
ed by the Cor.stitution to enact laws ' for thu
encouragement of virtue and prcvention of
vice;" you have right tolegislate fortlio pisri
ty of morals as well a thc security of property.
On your S;atute Book are laws to prohibit
h.orse-racing, thc keeping of a gaming-house,
thc vcnding of lottery-lickcts. and the keeping
of a IIou of ill lUme. You have the right to
control property, binding everj' man so to use
his own as not to injurc or ruin ttic property of
another.
Your mcmorialists believe that preventive
legislation is, on every principlc of reason and
humanity andsound policy.preferable to punish

Your memoi ialists futthcr believc, that if you

he should not loose any thing by it.

miles from Middlebury, a few days before the

himself for town ltcpresentative and whose
prophecy is, "ice shall lick you next year"
was very busy, as usual, in counting noses for
himself. To count a man's nose on the right
side, he occasionaliy found it necessary to get
hold of his elbow. So he did with Doct ,
and, as we shall see, "waked up the wrong
passenqcr," somewhat after the manner of the
Locofoco above named.
