In 1908, there were thirty-four banks, whose

were sixty-six, consequently ~thirty-iwo
additional ones. Their capital is not

The Charm OF WOnan.

There are many defects in the character,
but beauty and gentle manners in the great
estimate of woman go far toward supplying
their want of energy, and even their want OF
heart.
1t is is a wife that these defects appear
and grow upon the disappointed husband,
like the frightful figure exhibited by magic
lantern, increasing in hideousness as they
increase in magnitude and distinctness. 1t
is when the dotng lover begins to suspect
that the silent calm he had hitherto mistaken
for maiden shyness, is in reality the silence
of the soul-the calm of imperturbable stag
nation; when he discovers that he has devO-
ted his first and best affections to beautiful
but marble statue; when he returns to his
home, which ought to be San ever sonny
place." and finds nothing but the yawning
vacancy of cold and cherries void; when
he pours his fresh warm feelings. that burst
in unstudied language from his burning lips,
upon the stony surface of an insensibIe heart
and that heart woman's!-it is then that
he shrinks back repealed and blasted, as if
the blooming charms he once adored, were
exchanged for deformity and horror.
Oh! it is be the secret fountain of never
changing love--the we'll o. inexhaustable
refreshment in the describe rose that
blooms forever beneath the sunshine of one
beloved eye-the voice that rises in con-
tinued strain of melody above all the discord
Of the world-the bird of beauty, whose
faithful wing is never folded save in its own
sheltered nest; the pure unsullied stream,
offering sweetness and balm in every bosom
it meets, but reserving the full tide of its
eladness for me; it is by such mystical SYM
bols as these that we would describe the ma.
tural, the distinctive, the holy charm of wo-
man; bat by her perfect form, her ruby lips,
her sparkling eyes, or her silken ,resses,
whether, they fall in raven masses over Il
marble brow, or glitter in the sunbeams like
threads of waving gold.

THE DAY AFTER THE BATTL

THE DAY AFTER THE BATTLE.
On a surface Of two square miles, It was
asccrtained that fifty thousand men and
horses were lying! The luxurious crop of
ripe gain which had covered the field of
battle, was reduced TO litter, and beaten in
to the earth, and the surface, trodden down
by the cavalry, and furrowed deeply by the
cannon wheels, strewn with many a relief of
the fight. Helmets and cuirasses, shattered
firearms and broken swords; all the variety
of military ornaments; lancer caps and High
land bonnets; uniforms of every color,plume
and pennon; musical instruments, the appa.
ratus of artillery, bugles; but, good God |!
why dwell on the narrowing picture of a
foughten fe!d?-each and every ruinous
display bore mute testimony TO the misery
of such battle. Could the meIan-
choly appearance of this scene of death be
heightened, it would be by witnessing the
researches of the living, amidst its desola-
ton, for the objects of their love. Mothers
and wives and children, for DAYS were occu-
pied in that mourRful duty; and the confu-
sion of the corpses, friend and foe inter-
mingled as they were, often rendered the
attempt at recognising individuals difficult,
many places the dead lay four deep upon
each other, marking the spot some British
square had occupied, when exposed for
hours to the murderous french battery. Out
side, lancer and culrassier were scattered
thicklV on the earth Madly attempting TO
force the seried bayonets of the British, they
had fallen, in the bottles essay, by the mus
kerry of the inner files. Farther on, you
traced the spot where the cavalry of France
and England had encountered Chasseur and
hursar were intermingled; and the heavy
Norman horse of the Imperial Guard were
interpreted with the grey chargers which
had carried Albyn's chiValry. Here the high
lander and trailleur lay, side BY side, toge-
Their; and the heavy dragon, with green
Erin's badge upon his helmet, was graphing
in death with the polish lancer. On
the summit of the ridge, where the ground
was numbered with dead, and trodden fet-
lock-deep in mud and gore, by the frequent
rush of rival cavalry, the thick-strewn corp
ses ofthe Imperial Guard, pointed out the
spot where Napoleon had been defeated
Here, in column, that favored corps, on
whom his last chance rested, had been anni-
hilated; and the advance and repulse of the
Guard was traceable by mas of fallen
Frenchmen. La the hollow below, the last
struggle Of France had been yainly made;
for there the Old guard, when the Middle
Ibattal:ons had been forced back. attempted
10 meet the British, and afford time for their
disorganised companions to rally. Here the
British left, which had conVerged upon the
| French centre, had come up;-and here
the bayonet closed the contest.-MarDell'

The rights of editors and publishers OF papers
have been too long eglected. Justice will never
be done unless themselves assert their rights
and enforce the most rigid rules, which in the
end will be found alike salutary to the public and
beneficial to those engaged in the press. Pub
Fishers Of papers have been so long imposed upon
by the community at large, that they are consld-
cred to some extent a degraded class OF beings.
when in fact there is no vocation in life honor
able, deserving of so high consideration, produce
tive of so much good, class that exerts power
full aninGuence. 1t is known to be proVerbial for
the debtors to newspaper publishers to consider
xheir demands as the last to be paid~-debts TO
which there is attached no moral obligation, and
which they can refuse TO pay with justice and
honor: hence, it is incumbent upon the conduc-
tors of the press to assert their own rights, and
resolve severally and jointly, TO bring all patrons
of newspapers under the same obligations that al
tach to other contracts, or always remain IN pow
erty and want, with thousands due them from the
most solvent men in the country.
We call upon all editors and publishers OF pa
pers who approve of the following rules, endorse
them by their signatures-pace them at the head
of their papers, and strictly adhere to them.

mechanics should be respected only as the dregs
Of the earth-as a separate and distinct class, be-
low par in the estimation OF those who wish TO be
regarded as the patterns of intelligence, science
and knowledge? The elite of the country have
drawn the lines of demarkation, while ever and
anon, they palm upon the workingmen the blame
attached to the frequent schisms in society incl
dent to such proceedings. Yes, the elite have
thrown the gauntlet and must abide the results.
We, as Mechanics, hold ourselves as far above
our revilers in the scale of useful knowledge and
general information, as the stars which spangle
the armament Heaven are separated from the
earth. So should every other profession of ira
desman. Let him who would deny his birthright

shrink from the responsibilities of asserting and

THE NOMINATION.
From the Brunswick, N. ]. Freedom

| From the Brunswick, N. ]. FREEDMAN.
The nominations are as good, probably, as
could have been made, 10 unite the whole
strength OF the opposition. They are also
good, positively, with reference TO the men,
and their fitness for the offices. They would
administer the affairs Of the country, in up
rightness and with perfect safety; and would
command the confidence of all. Whatever
others might do to transcend them in ability
and splendor, they would accomplish all that
is necessary to the general peace and pros
Perity. We are therefore satisfied, and will
cordially and zeaIously lend our feeble aid
to secure ratification of these nominations
of the people.
From the Albany N. Y. Advertiser.
The history of Gen. Harrison is familiar
to grateful country. He has served her
long and faithfully in various capacities.
He has shed his blood and spent his SUBJ
stance in her cause. He has added largely
TO the national reputation: and his name is
inscribed on the tablets of history, with those
Of Putnam, of Perry and of Wayne. Hon
est, industrious, intelligent: gallant sol-
der, pure patriot, and an enlightened
statesman, there is no point ofview in which
the character Of VIM. HI. Harrison will not
command the respect and esteem Of his fell
low citizens. Especially will it favorably
impress all parties when centrasied with that
of Martin Van Barren While the latter
can point to large fortune as the fruits Of
a life spent in the Offices, but not in the SER
vice of the republic, the former can claim to
have saved nothing but honor from long
life devoted TO loved country.
We might multiply these extracts ad inf
nitum. They show the complete union of
the wing plrty, and give US every confidence
in the approaching triumph Of our principles.
We conclude our extracts, for the present,
with the following remarks of the Mobile
Chronicle and Advertiser, which terminate
a spirited article in favor Of the nominees of
the convention:
"Ihus believing, thus confding, and thus,
in our own course, resolved, we cordially
respond to the noble and inspiring sentiment
Of the venerable and patriotic president Of
the convention, the long tried and faithful
Gov. Barbour, Of Virginia :-"that we have
flung our banner Of LIBERTY AND THE CoN-
sTITUTIoN to the breeze, inscribed with these
inspiring words-Onc presidential term--tkc
Integrity Of the public serUants--the safety
Of the public money--aad Ire general good
Of the people"

tilct comes--tCe cGn-.wE 1TUsT--WE WILL
