DEMOCRATIC & STATERIGHTS
MEETING.

At meeting of the Democratic and
State Rights party Of Wilkinson coun-
ty, held in the court house in Wood
vile, on Tuesday the 18th instant,
John s. Holt was called to the chair, 81
Bythell Haynes appointed Secretary.
The following preamble and resolu-
tons were adopted by the meeting.
This meeting being convinced that
che systcmof measures urgedupon Con.
gross for many years past, by certain
politicians, having for its object the
protection of manufactures and the
construction of roads and canals under
the authority Of Congress, would, in
practice, be fatal to the true and per
manent interest of every part Of Anne
RIGA, and especially injurious TO al
those who plant cotton, rice, or tobac
CO, and that the same is in theory di

tain voyages and connected with which is
every fond association engraved on memo
ries tablet, every kind sEapathy of which
the most tender ties in nature is suscepti-
bic. Let the blastsof adversely come, and
the storms Of fortunes winter arrive, blight
ing our hopes of comfort and prosperity, Of
happiness and case, who then is ready and
first to sootho US in our Affections, and
last to forsake us in our troubles. It's our
sister, our wife, our mother! They are
our same kind friends under every variety
Of fortune; and who that has seen the kind
sister, the devoted wife, the fond mother,
in her last moments, true to nature, cling
ing to her brother, her husband, and the
babes Of her love; see her taking her
last embrace, and heard her expiring ac-
cents of love, breathed the last time, for
those she is about leaving forever; but
must acknowledge the incompetency Of
words to express her character in its true
lighter MAY DE FELT.
And If anything on earth can present
celestial excellence in its purity, antarray
it in its most lovely attire, it is surely an
accomplished woman, in whom purity an(
meekness, intelligence and modesty, sym
ctry and beauty, minglo their charms. =
And if friendship unmixed with selfshnesi
is known in the world, woman is party
to that compact.

Forthe Piney w GODS Planter.
Thou hast east of tho heart that gave thee,
Like u weed that was worthless and vain
An heart that had persisted to save thee
Thou hast given to the bleak world again;
Thine is false, that so oft thou hast told me,
Lived only to-beat for my own,
And the arms that were wont to enfold me,
Perhaps, round another are thrown.
When I gazcd on thy beautiful tresses,
On thy brow and thy bosom Of snow,
When lived but amid thy caresses,
Oh! how little thine heart did know
When felt that young heart wildly beating,
believed it could beat but for me;
The delusion was lovely, but fleeing
AS all that is lovely must be!
Yet, who, when thy bosom was hcaving,
While he drank thy bewildering signs,
Could think that thine heart was dcceiying,
And false the bright light Of thine eye?
Oh, who, when thine arms were around him,
As his lips to thy kisses he pressed,
Could think that thy falsehood could wound him
That pillowcd thine head on his breast2
But 60, though that soft breast were heaven,
Its SHOWS were an heaven alone,
To the chosen one, to whom it is given
To rest on it, all as his own!
Farewell! thou art false, and leave thee
FAREWELL my vain hopes Ircsign'
Farewell! could never deceive thee,
No! the crime and the ruin are thine.

utary influence which the beautiful and
intelligent ofthe softer sex, exert In curb
inc the wild notions and oyerbearing ma
ture of the masculine gender. Virtue
would soon be swallowed up in vice and
ignorance, and crime and cruelty as de-
vastating pestilence, would sweep through
the land, UNDECIDED and uncared for, as
now the gentle zepher plays in the boughs
of the forest grove. Man would have still
been mere beast IN thought and action,
had not woman elevated his thought to
respect of himself, and made him aspire
TO fame and honor, and tread the paths Of
virtue and science. As her influence OK
tends, society improves, morality and re-

and supporter-and this meeting be-

no right, under the existing constita-

ssIn the state carriage next to TINT Of the
Emperor was the widow of Napoleon, Ma
ria Louisa, Her full form, ample counte-
nance, and careless or eontended express
sion, would seem to Indicate that the Vi
cissitidcs oflife have passed over her with
out leaving any deep traces Of saddening
recollection behind
This creature, without heart or soul,
with mind incapable Of approaching the
worth Of the relation she once bore to "the
most extraordinary man, the most exalted
genius that ever appeared on the theatre
Of the world,n and connected with whose
name she might have given her own to Q

theacJc Of NAroLEoN and the mother o
his only child, with the admiration Of the
world reflected on her by hei illustrious
husband, she descends to be the wife O
German Baron ofno consequence, ant
not possessed ofintellect enough to make
his name known beyond his narrow circle
or his own day.

this daughter Of Austria and wife Of th'

papers in the country, and an able and

PENNsgLvANIA.--Th last dates from
Harrisburg are contained in the Balti-
more slips, and they bring accounts from
the scene Of tumult Of the 18th inst, at
which time it was supposed that a COM
promise of the difficulties would be effect
ed by an agreement between the two par
ties that the legislature would not go into
the election Of the United State Senator,
State Treasurer or Canal Commissioners
till the legality Of the returns of the cleo
ton in the county of Philadelphia, was first
determined. We know not how far the
democrats will be disposed to trust their
opponents. Once give theman organized
legislature and experience shows that they
will do whatever they may deem expedi-
dent, in spite Of law and in defiance Of
right.
New MovE.-The N. Y. Herald pre-
tends that the friends Of General Harri-
son in New York, are about to nominate
him for President, that they are divided
between Calhoun and Webster for Vice
President--that they intend calling Them
selves the "Republican Party" together
with number of other political yatici-
nations, which we presume have no 9TH
or foundation than Benefits fertile and
most INSCRIPTIONS fancy.

fine feeling which he has SO necessarily manifested

anxious ana gralifed spectators an opportunity Of
seeing her movements for nearly quarter Of an hour
She went up the North River short distance, turn
ed in nearly her own length, and came down again
opposite the Battery, and remained still for few
minutes. Twenty row-boats ranged along side and
brought off those gentlemen who went on board TO
see their friends off, The Sirius then started in good
earnest amid the cheers of the assembled multitude,
and was out of sight in twenty minutes. God speed
her on her way!
