himself called upon to support the sub Treasury
against his own former votes, and the votes of his

the Administration he had helped to bring into power
Let him again imagine that his friends and constu-

DIED-At the residence of her father,
Hugh Montgomery, in this county, on the
10Th inst, after short but painful illness,
Miss ELIZABETH Il. MONTGOMERY, in the
18th year of her age. Suddenly and nnex-
pectedy called upon TO record the death of
one whom we so highly esteemed, it is not
our purpose to indulge in lengthy obituary
notce of The many endearing traits which
characterized the deceased. Possessed of
we'll ordered and accomplished mind, an
affable and mild disposition, she had bat to
be known in order that her excellence
should be appreciated. The large and
weeping concourse which attended her bu-
rial, gave ample evidence of the estimation
in which she was held by her friends and
relatives. Had we not witnessed her life
less form consigned to the narrow precincts
of the grave, we could scarcely realize the
idea but that she still lived. twas but yes
| terday las il were) she stood amongst US, in
the possession of health and life, ssh9h in
hopes" her bright and animating counte-
nance and her vivacious conversation enll-
veniDg and cheering all around her.-to-day
the lonely tenant OF the silent tomb! How
forciby does her death impress us with the
truth OF the words, ain the midst of life we
are in death.' A kind, affechonatc and
dutitul daughter, a loving sister, cordial
and sincere friend-her death has caused
wound which time itself can never heal
Whilst we mingle our regret in unaffected
grief for the loss we have sustained, let us
console ourselves with the reflection that
sour loss is her gain" She has exchanged
her temporal habtation in this world of
pain, of trouble, of transient and evanescent
ljoys, for a ''house not made with hands,
eternal in the heavens" Yes, we trust her
hallowed spirit now rests secure in heaven,
holier and happier home; and we fancy
we can hear her whispering her farewell to
this vain world, with all its subunary charms
and allurements, in strains like these:
"Adieu ye scenes of visionary bliss!
Your charms fallacious touch my heart nc
more;
Vain are the pleasures of world like this
seek another, and happier shore"
