Il must now be obvious to the Wing and
bond paying Democratic parties, that there is
bul one chance presented to them Of defeating
the repudiating ticket for the Legislature in
this county; and that is by laying aside their
former political differences and uniting up
on the most available candidates that are
presented for their choice. The question of
reputation has become the absorbing one in
the politicul contests OF this State; the repudi-
ators have nominated their candidates with
exclusive reference 20 il, and IN some counties,
for instance in Warren, where there is an over
whelming Wing majority the regulators have
brought forward for the legislature, men, who
call themselves Wings and support the doc
iFine Of reputation. Under these circumstan-
Ces IL becomes the duty of all who are sincere.

MI DRAR SiR.--By some unae-

receive, until within the last few days,
your favor ofthe 18th ult., inviting me
10 a public dinner given By the Anti-re-
pudiadng Club Of Lowndes Coz on
the 2sth ofthat mOnth.-Even If your
letter had arrived 10 time, il would
have been entirely out Of my power TO
have accepted your invitation, from the
occurrence OF private and domestic en-
eagements Of an insbperable character
However much may regret, there
fore, the causes which prevent my be-
ing present when the vital necessity Of
redeeming the faith Of your State was
to have heen discussed (wiIh an abil-
ity, / am quite sure, commensurate
with the importance ofthe topicl) yet,
as one ofthe tax payers Of Mississippi,

meetings afford olthe regene.ated con-
dition Of public sentiment among your
people on a subject iaseparably linked
with the destinies Of Mississtppi.-A
question which is 10 decide whether
these destinies are to be for evil or
for good. Il is not, however, my
purpose TO write yon an essay on your
public credit, or on the cardinal neces-
siiy OF its being sustained. | have a
far more agreeable object in view, to
transmit you an extract Of a letter which
| received, since my visit to Missis-
sippi in July last, from a distinguished
Carolinian who has houored both him
self and his own State by holding sta
tons, in her service, Of eminent dis
tinction, and who has had, whilst in
| Europe, during the last summer, the
| the best opportunities OF observing the
disastrous influence Of the discredit oil
our country on all her interests and on
that which rides over all Of them, her
character. The fact, my dear sir, is
not to be concealed, that ofall things
on Earth for which nations and ind.
viduaIs pay most dearly, the loss o
reputation is by far the most costly
without which III the present there j:
no enjoyment, and in the future ne

WHAT "A BOY CAN DO.

+ In passing along one OF our streets the other
day, a little fellow fell in with an old salt who
was shivering with three sheets in the wind.
I "Ship ahoyw hailed the tar, and the little
chap hauld up alongside. Where away may
be the Seaman's Mansion 2" sas
The lad profered to show him, and they held
along together, the sailor steering very wildly,
sometimes hard up, as though he had struck
heavy sea, and then yawing off to the right or
left, as the case might be.
II am not exactly ,vater-logged," said he,
g but have too much of the deck load on, and
my top-hamper is rather heavy for my ballast

hick-you understand. Shun the s,oipes, the
blue RUIN, my little man, as you'd avoid old Tim
bertoes. SILVER my topsails but it has been
the ruin Of me. Here have got wife and
two little ones, one youngster about the same
tonnage of yourself, in Boston, and some prop
erty besides. but the ID has placed barrier
between us, in the shape of a can of grog. Shun
the critter, my lad, as you'd shun pesiilence."
The lad promised to bear in mind his advice,
and then asked him why he did not sign the
temperance pledge. y i
ssAnd where may that temperance pledge be
found z" inquired he.
His young comrade informed him that there
was to be temperance meeting at the Exchange
that evening, and profered to 60 with him if he
would sign the pledge.
"What, child urging me to sign the pledge!
I'll 60. Come in here, my little one, (by this
time they had arrived opposite the Seaman's
Mansion,) and take some supper with me, and
as soon as we have got the ballast in, we'll haul
up for this same temperance meeting. Slave in
my bulwarks, if we WON'T
The little fellow stuck to him, and as soon as
supper was over went with him to the temper
ance meeting, where the old salt signed the
pledge. AS he did SO, he remarked that when
ever he was tempted to drink he would think Of
that little boys care for his welfare.
We doubt not that that warm hearted tar will
keep the pledge so long as his timbers" hold
together. The next day he went away to sea,
not forgetting to call upon his juvenile friend be-
fore his departure And he assured him that he
should seek his wife and family on his return.
So much for the influence of a child. FORT. Bu.

YOUTH AND AGE.

Nothing is SO difficult to determine as the ex-
act demarcations Of youth, middle age, and old
age; words which people pronounce az decisive.
RODS to our stages Of existence, ike miIestones
to journey; or as though youth and middle
age were distinct as Arabia Felix, and Arabia
Petraa. But the age of one man is the youth of
another, and uice uersa just as the June Of one
year is colder than the March of former; and
October, at times, as sunny as June. 1t is, in
fact, as impossible to fix the winter and summer
solstice Of human nature to day, as at any given
point TO admeasure the cubic inches Of water
contained in the flowing Thames or decide that
the atmosphere at such or such point of eleva-
ton, contains SO many parts Of oxate. All must
be conjectural.
