Kendall’s Expositor.

That ne'er upon thy ear the famo Of Albion’s land of glory fell! The land where Freedom's oUar-flsma illumines every mount and dell. Oppression dreads her lion’s roar, Nor dares to press,her stainless sod. No foot of slave can touch the shore Sactcd to Freedom and to God,”

To the Fcoplo of the United States*

The undersigned proposes, as a future occupation, to publish, semi-monthly, a cheap newspaper, to be called KENDALL’S EXPOSITOR. Should the Administration be sustained in the present conflict, as his faith in the people persuades him to believe, there is still much to be done to secure the advancement and perpetuity of pure principles inourGovermnentiand if perchance it shall be defeated, there will be more occasion for all honest efforts to prevent the mischiefs apprehended from the men who may come Into power. To these objects the undersigned has determined to dev pic the remnant of his life; end ho can think of no means through which he can act so efficiently, as a newspaper cheap enough to be within the reach of every man who is able to read. Raised to labor on a farm, he has never ceased to cherish the interists of those who work for a living; and, knowing them to be the most virtuous and deserving ponisn of society, one of the most cherished desire ofhis heart is to see them aroused to the importance of giving, more of their reading, their thoughts, and their time, to the affairs of Government. Yet, not to them exclusively, but also to all other.men, who do not seek to obtain, through the laws, advantages over their fellow men, he will address himself in the proposed publication. The main objects noticed in this paper will bo as follows, viz: - 1, ,Suffrage is the basts of free government. He that cheats at elections is guilty of the worst kind of treason, and should be punished as a'traitor. 11c who gives utterance to a falsehood, for the purpose of influencing a voter, is but Itlllo better. To denounce cheating, bribery, and falsehood, when detected, and suggest effective preventives, will bo a leading object of the proposed paper. In this the undersigned does not intend to be any respecter of parties; for the man who resorts to such means for the accomplishment of political ends, whatever he may call himself, is no Democrat, and is so enemy to the people. 2. Abuses of privilege and corruption have made much progress in the legislative department of our Government, and have occasionally shown themselves in other departments. These, as far as known, will bo denounced, by whatevcr party they may be practised. In every abuse of privilege, or undue exercise of power, the individual committing it strikes a blow at public virtue, the only lasting basis of free institutions. II. The principles of modern banking, and the manner in which banks and public debts operate upon the labor, trade, and property of the community, arc not well understood. One of the chief objects of (bis paper will be, by facts and illustrations, to make these matters plain to all who wilt road and discuss the proposed remedies for existing evils. This will involve an exposition of the nature and uses of money, together with a history of tho origin, progress, and effects of paper money in Europe and America. Tu these will be added, a notice of all new discoveries and inventions which promise to be useful to mankind, as also of facts, experiments, and improvements which may bo to the farmer and mechanic; a summary of news, foreign and domestic, carefully complied,constituting an accurate history of passing events; abstracts of important public documents, and miscellaneous matter, selected and original, instructive and entertaining.. In fine, tho object is to Furnish a newspaper which will present to tho farmer, planter, mechanic, merchant, and all other readers, tho true interests of those who live by the cultivation of the soil and other laborious occupations involving the interests ofall useful trade, and incite them always to regard those interests, In voting for public agents, to inculcate that honesty and truth should bo the guide of every man in public as well aa private l:fe; that a sacred regard for the rights of properly, aa well as personal rights, is essential to tho happiness of man in a state of society; that it is only through a fair ballot that wo should look for the correction of existing evils, and the prevention ol those we fear; and that a liuo Democrat should never think of revolution by force until he finds himself deprived of the right of suffrage, or the voice of the majority is pcrseveringly stifled by fraud or force at the polls. Though thoroughly Democratic in principle, this paper will not be made the vehicle of ordinary electioneering matter, nor will it engage in or admit mere personal controversies. U will net conceal its preferences for men or parties; but will seek to influence results only by appeals to reason, and through tho instrumentality of fact and argument. That a true Democrat ought never to despair, is tho first article in the undersigned’s political creed. Nan is capable of indefinite improvement in knowledge and virtue. These are the bases of Democracy. If we know that ho cannot reach perfection, wc know also that he may become better than he is. Hope and faith are the motives of the Christian teacher, They should be the slay and stimulus of the Democrat. With biut iney are strengthened by knowledge; for he sees and Xviotcf that man is advancing, and may be made to advance more rapidly, in all those acquirements which enable btm to govern htmi self. If arrested by force or fraud to-day, ho will resume his onward march tomorrow* By degrees; the great mass of men are becoming familiar with their rights and conscious of their power; they may become so well informed that none will attempt to deceive them, and so determined, that none will dare to assail them by force. To a A in tho improvement of mao is the highest remaining ambition ofthe undersigned. He has seen much of the world, baa had some experience in public affairs, has whitened much human depravity, suffered soma wrong, and met with much to discourage exertions for the good of his country and his race; but never for a moment has he lost bis faith in man’s high destiny; or relaxed liis determination to contribute to his advancement under alt discouragements. If he shall reap no persona] advantage from this course, beyond a consciousness of doing his duty, his

The Ember's Ghost*

A gentleman travelling some’years since in (lie upper part of this Slate, called at & tavern and requested entertainment for the night. Tlic landlord informed him that it wasoulof his power to accommodate him, as his house was already full. Ho persisted in stopping, as he as well as his horse were almost exhausted with travelling. After much solicitation the landlord consented to his stopping, provided he would sleep in a certain room that bad not been occupied fur a long time, in consequence of a belief that it was haunted by the ghost of a barber, who was reported to have been murdered m that room some years before. “Very well,” says the man, *Tm not afraid of ghesta.” After having refreshed himself, ho enquired of the landlord how and in tvbat manner the roam in which ho was to lodge waa haunted! Tho landlord replied that shortly after they retired to rcstan unknown voice was heard in a trembling and protracted accent saying, “Do you w-a-nt to bo sha-ved.” “Well,” replied the man, *‘.f he comes he may shavo me,” Ho then requested to be shown to tbo apartment; in going to which he was conducted through a large room where were scaled a great number of personsatagamblingtable. Keeling a curiosity which almost every one possesses after having hoard ghost stories ho carefully searched every corner of his room but could discover nothing but (ho usual furniture of the apartment, lie then laid down, but did not close his eyes to sleep immediately, and in a few minutes he imagined he hoard a voice saying “Da you to*n-u( to be xAa-a trd. ,M He arose from his bed and searched every part of the room, but could discover nothing, He again went to bed, but no sooner had he begun to compose himself to sleep than the question was again repealed. He again arose and wont to the window, the sound appearing to proceed from that quarter, and stood awhile silent—aficr a few moments of anxious suspense, he again heard the sound distinctly, and convinced that it was from without, bo opened the window, when the question was repeated full in his car, which elanlcd him not a Hufc.—Upon a minute examination, however, he observed that the limb of a large oak tree, which stood under his window, projected so near the house that every breath of wind, to a lively imagination, made a noiso resembling the interrogation, “Do you w-a-nt to be gha-avved!”

Having satisfied himself that his ghost was nothing more nor less than the limb of a tree coming in contact with the bouse, he again went to bed and attempted to get asleep; but lie was DO^intcminted by peals of laughter and an oc-r casiopal volley of oaths and curses from the room*'whore the gamblers were assembled. Thinking that he could turn the late discovery to hia own advantage, he took a sheet from the bed and wrapped it round him, and taking the wash-basin in his hand and throwing a towel over hia arm, proceeded to the room of the gamblers, and suddenly opening the door, stalked in, exclaiming in a tremulous voice, “Da yon w-a-m to be sha-a-vcdl” Terrified at the sudden appearance offhe ghost, the gamblers were thrown into the greatest confusion in attempting to escape it; some jumped through the windows, and others tumbling head over heels down stairs. Oar ghost, taking advantage of a clear room, deliberately swept a large amount of money from the table into the basin, and retired unseen to hia own room.
