AVe have been informed of a proceeding on the part
of the Administration acting no doubt under the dic
tation of Mr. Wise, who seems to have taken the direcT
tion of "allaire altogether into his own hands thatf
would have beeu regarded as a stretch of despotic au
thority even at Constantinople, and would .beyond all
question Lave created a revolution in Paris,
r It is known that a lnrgenajorrjy of the workmen
- employed in the Navy Yard at Goeport belong to the
American party. President Pierc, has heard of this
fund acting, in all probability, tinder tha influence of
Wise, he has eenh down, or caused his Secretary to
. eend downlorders TO DISMISS EVERY WORKMAN
; WEO DOES! NOT VOTE -THE DEMOCRATIC TICK
ET!!! Sixty mechanics have gone before the Order
and begged to be. excused from voting the American
ticket, alleging that -while their hearts are as warmly
intorested in its 6uecess as ever, they are dependent fo
the daily bread which feeds them, and their wives and
children, on their emp1oyment. "?
There is no parallel in modern history to the atroci
ty of this proceeding. If any thing .could deepen the
shades that darken around it, it is to be found in the
fact,-that while the poor mechanics of Gosport are for
bidden, on pain of starvation, to exercise the rights of
American freemen, the State officers of 'the Captol are
draggling their sobes in the dirty mire of party witl
out scruple and without rebuke- stumping it in va
rious parts of the State, to the disgnst of every man
who retains the slightest respect for the honor of his
. country disgracing this proud old Common wesltji by
such an exhibition as it never witnessed before, and
we hope will never see again. lesl these men are
high officials they are men of influence they receive
large salaries they are Domoeratsand members of the
Central Junto. But Jlhe poor mechanic can boast of
" none of these advantages. His wife and his children
must starve, if he be deprived of employment. What
mast be the hard-hearted tyrant, that could take ad
vantage of such weakness to grind his helpless victim
in the dust ? What must be the man. who for his own
i advancement, can advise or dictate such cruelty? ' Of
what,6ubstance are the hearts of Frtmklin Pierce and
Henry A. Wise composed ? We say of Henry A. Wise,
for we are well convinced that he is. at the bottom ef
the whole proceeding, as we are that he is the most in.
eolent, unprincipled and vindictive of American dem
agogues. 7-; . ' ." "'. s:

' Jn this progressive age, our astonishment seems to

that the demand for a newspaper' ia the T8wn of
Kinstop, ha been so incessant ? VThy, certainly not.
In compliance, then, with tliis urgent demand, we have

we are confident, will prove" succassful. C '

that we4are not the organ of any body or any party.

do that cawlidly whenever we shall deem it necessary.

propriety and duty, preferring the Concurrence of pub-

propose to limit ourselves, we shall feel amplvevvard-

have incurred. If, on the contrary,,1 we should have
the fortune, good or bad, to fail in eliciting that ap
preciation, we must be permitted to assure the public
that the loss will be theirs. !
gT We send this No. of our paper to a number o
persons who are not subscribers. .Those who like our

Otherwise they w ill ple;ise return thej papers received.
We have established cash in advance- terms, because
we prefer a dozen cash subscribers at two dollars, to one
hundred who are "going to pay" "two dollars and.a
half in six months" or three dollars "at the end of the
year" whith our experience teaches us ia never,"
the rates on a credit system. Does any man who ever
intends paying at all, prefer to pjyihg one third more
even at the end of a year ? '
We know our paper is large enough to compensate
amply for the price of subscription. Send us the cash
at once, then, a very small amount to you, but in the
aggregate important to us, and we can have the means
with which to exdnguh a parjof the debt we have
incurred in commencing, the puMicationof pur f aper.
Printers have to cat, sleep, and wear clothes like other
folks, and they require the same amount of money
for this that other folks do. ' J " . : '4

a few Weeks ago, the ' welkin rang1. With the glorious-

nineteen of her sister States "repbdlafed . hm' by o--

that Harper's Ferry has also vo

'This woulll geem to indicate that one State, (besides
ne latter localities abov mentioned) neyer
having

vote since
1830, had gone for this Administration,! although a
very large majority of the States have7 condemned it.;
True enough, this result may ,be, to a considerable
extent, attributed first, to jthe wva Ivocei '.system of
voting for candidates, by which thousands were in
duced to vote either for A Vise against their wishes, jor
to remain silent, the votiag in this contest having been
