OBJECTS OF CHARITY.
BYD. C. coLEsWoRTHY.
DO good to-day. Yon orphan child,
Who has no fathers care,
On whom no tender mother smiled,
And breathed for him prayer
Now claims your sympathy and love;
List to his pleading voice;
Shall not his tears your pity move,
10 bid his heart rejoice2
A hungry beggar at your door
He's had no food to-day
O, drive him not, as oft before,
From your repast away;
But take him by the arm and give
His bag fill to the brim-
And in Heavens blessing you'll receive
More than bestowed on him.
A misunderstanding in the cold
Thee children by her side,
TO her, now weary, worn and old,
Lies comforts are denied,
Go, find her hut, and there bestow
The gifts Of Charity
And tears of gratitude will flow,
And happy you will be.
Yon child of sorrow-in whose breast
The seeds of woe are sown-
Where Melancholy sits guest,
And every hope has flown;
Go, whisper peace-and share the grief
That sinks him to the dust;
A word, perhaps, will give relief
The chains Of sorrow burst.
Blind FolIy's daughter-once the pride
OF the domestic ring;
WHO loved as none were loved beside
Whose looks would pleasure bring:
o, fallen now-forsaken-lost-
No home-no friends has she;
Sweet flower nipped by untimely FROST
Her kind protector be.
A brothor-slruggIing by the way
On, pass not heediess by;
If lie has spurnod your love to-day,
To drain the glass and die
Sill, let your warm affections cling
Around an erring friend;
Perhaps your kindness yet will bring
His vices to an end.
Yon toiing slave degraded thus,
Has yet heart to feel;
Tho doomed to pine meath slavery's curse
Hear ye his loud appeal;
And be neighbor unto him
His daily sudferings share;
Perhaps you can unbind the limb;
Oh, list the Afric's prayer.
Where'er a soul is found--forlorn,
Or sick, depraved or lost;
BE he prince or beggar born
On land-on ocean lost
Behold neighbor aud friend;
And strive to make him best;
The free, warm hand to him extend,
While love o'erlows the breast.
Thus doing good, the years will haste
On golden wings away
The renl bliss of life you'll tasto
On each returning day;
No mornings dawn-no evenings close
Grief or regret will bring;
Till like an infants soft repose,
Death comes without a sting.

gust the voters of Lowndes county in

fectuaIly representing the wishes ofthe

that FIVE persons be previously selec-
ted from each captains beat to attend as
delegates in the Convention and by

suitable individuals TO be supported
by them as candidates for the Leglsla-
ture OF the State.

editor of the Vicksburg Sentinel speaks OF the
candidates for Congress nominated BY the late
Loco Foco Convention at Jackson.
aAboye a.e the names presented by the late
convention to the people for their SURFACES, at
the newt election--four new names have taken
tbe Mace of Cook, Fall, Stone, and Gwin, who
were nominated at the previous convention.
The first ticket was not so good one as de-
sired. and it was doubtful Of success. but tbs
i 30 infinitely worse, that all the powers on
Earth could not insure it success. Defeat, lg :
nomin;ous defeat, viii be the fate OF three OF
thgcandidates. Roberts end Matthew's would
alone. make defeat certain, then comes Gov.
Tucker. with his foIlIes, and the peoples sns-
picion. makes dannation doubly sure. we
d;d not expect The convention would DO any
GOOD %, for IN truth they seldom do, yet tins 2
much worse, than any did believe It could do.

We refer those Of our readers, who
feel particular interest in the higher
branches of education, to the advertis-
ment Of the University of Virginia,
which appears in our paper of o-day'
The character ofthis institution the for
advantages which it offers for obtain
ing profound acquaintance with eve
ry branch of science, is too firmly es-
tablished and extensively known TO re-
quire any commentator from US. The
liberal endowments which it derives
from the State of Virginia, and the ex-
tensive patronage, which it receives
from the public, enable the board of
visitors to avail themselves of gentle
men of the highest distinction for their
literary and scientific attainments in fill
ling the different professorships in the
University. And its location in re-
markable healthy and beautiful coun-
try, remote from the temptation to dis
sipation incident to cities, together with
the advantages of an extensive library
and philosophical apparatus, affords
every inducement and facility to the
acquisition Of learning.

In the last number of the NSignal," paper
published at Gallatin, Copiah county, there ap'
pears letter signed by the Honorable Albert
Gallatin Brown: in which he makes an expla-
nation of the manner, in which he became SO
largely indebted to the Union Bank; and in re-
oar6 10 his liabilities for others, charges them
e entirely upon the Whigs.-The Hon. A. e.
Brown seems entirely to have mistaken the
object of Mr.. CIayton's allusion to his indebt-
edness to that institution. It was not his IN
tention to arraign him before the public for
being so largely in debt, but to expose the I'M
propviety of his position in maintaining his doc
trines of Reputation of the Union Bank bonds
when he and his friends had shared so largely
in its accommodations and by failing to dis.
charge their Indebtedness had contributed so
much toward disabling that institution from Ia
king in these bonds and thereby imposing the
burden upon the State of Mississippi.
Mr.. Brown in his letter also refers to his
votes in the Legislature, which Mr. Clayton
had cited against him, but declines any expla a.
nation of them at this time;he however says ne
will be able to demonstrate ''that in giving his
votes he acted upon correct principles"
Upon the whole the letter of the Hon. Nlr.
Brown seems to have been written IN very
subsidized tone and when his spirits had not re-
sumed their wonted elasticity since he received
his first lesson from Clayton at Jackson.

After Governor fuckers nomination for
Congress, rumor obtained circulation in
Jackson that he intended to resign his Office of
Governor and let it devolve upon Gen. Speigh',
the President of the Senate. But the General
was not ambitious of this accidental honor, and
to anticipate the kind intentions of the Cover
nor towards him, resigned the presidency of the
Senate. The Senate then went into the cleo
ton of another president, which resulted in the
choice of 'ahe patriotic" Ger: Fox. We don't
know the patriotic" Fox; but it is generally
admitted that he is several. grades below the
"honest Constitutional Tucker" in point of in
tellect. If he be so, and should become Gov
ernor of Mississippi by fuckers resignation,
may God help him, for he will stand much in
in need of help.
Gen. Speight, it is said, does not entertain
the highest respect or the best feelings for the
Democratic Anti Bond Ticket, We should
scarcely suppose that he would, he has too
much sense for that.
