Avenue
Geological phenomenon. We look with in
terest and amazement upon those vast changes
upon the earth's surface wrought by the elements
even within our own memories. For instance !:
Niagara Falls have retrogaded fifty yards [query,
feet] within theslast forty years, and were once
at Queenstown, seven miles from their present
position. The mighty cataract is wearing its way
back to it's source. and according to calculation,
will in 10000 years be back to Lake Erie. All
this is sublime wonderful! But let your Won
der cease Think Of the many thousand tons Of
rock, in the shape Of pulverulent matter removed
from our Avenue in few years, by the joint ac-
ton of wind and rain. Let the calculation be
made, for it can be done approximately, in refer
ence to the amount of matter thus scattered abroad
Let the members look at it with tears and dust in
their eyes.
Morale. A most cogent reason for paving our
Avenue is, that a vast amount Of dissipation would
be prevented. Mend your ways, oh man, for dust
thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return. p.

the Polk candidate for Governor Of North
Carolina, says:
"'The Locoloeo party, generally, talk
more, and louder, about Federalism and
Toryism, than any other party, in Europe
or America and yet they have a greater
fondness for Tories. and their descendants,
than any other people. And il fact
whenever they can get one Of this school,
they run him as a candidate for Office. -
For instance in the Old North State, they
are running Michael q. Hoke, for Cover

fnding Torres, and denouncing Wings
as Federalists. This man Eoke has
dropt the @. ia his name, for several

cause his grandfather Quickle, after
