city Of Baltimore, whose high character
and independence, his distinguished tai
ents and sound political principles, have
secured for him the admiration and esteem
of his party; and recommend him as a
man worthy to fill the executive chair
That he is peculiarly identified with the
present proud position Of the Wings, as
the successful supporter Of the honor of
our State, and that this, together with his
freedom from all sectional feelings and
lartional influence, has enhanced his gem
eral popularity, and rendered him, in our
opinion, the most available candidate in
the field.
Resolvcd, Tha, personal feelings and
sectional or private views should never he
brought in conflict with the interest of a
party, or be permitted to control its ac-
ton, that while we will give our cordial
support TO the nominee of the State Con
ventIon, we shall expect all good Wings
to act in a similar spirit, and hope that no
portion Of them will claim the right to We
to the wishes of the majority.
Resolved, That we rejoice in the pros
pect Of now having a representative in
Congress, That we have heard with
pleasure the name of JOHN G. GRooME.
Esq. of Cecil county, announced as can
didate for the fifth district, aud cheerfully
tender him our support.

A Touching Incident in Real Life.

The Cincinnati Patriot relates an agree
able incident as having recently occurred
in that city. The editor states that on the
9th instant boat rounded to at the levee,
crowded as usual with cart wheels, chick
en-coops, and human beings, bound fer
the upper Mississippi. An unusual num-

sion or collision: for slaughter or for
drowning, like so many animals cooped
together in pan. Among them was a
stout. brown, laughing German girl of 10
who would weigh about one hundred and
fifty pounds. A heavy built young man,
OF the same nation, in the course OF the
day strayed along the shore and stopped
at the plank of the boat. He heard the
hearty laugh of the girl, and it fell upon
his ear as the joyful sound of other days.
But philosophical German does not go
into tantrums at such an event. He walk
ed carelessly aboard, and down between
the engines. There had been no distress
sing love in the case, no eternal vows, no
plighled troth. In the hours of boyhood
and girIhood they had fel, the rising
flame Of love; but he had left the old
latherland for new and better one
without severing any lasting ties. Fate
had determined to separate these friends;
these quasi lovers. They had separated
with regret, but not with anguish, for
fate had ordained it so. The separation
was mutually supposed to be forever, but
a kind remembrance Of each remained
The girl now saw her old friend APP
proaching. No exclamations-no faint
ing and running into his his embraces.
But her young face frightened up 10 an
expression of welcome and JOY. He took
straight hold Of her thick hand and press
ed it warmly in his own. No kissing, no
tears-and yet their two spirits commun-
cd with each other in that moment, and
their two souls became one. An hour
after, says the editor, we saw the honest
young man lead her off the boat and up
Broadway, accompanied by five or six
other young men, who were all on their
way to a wedding and frolic. The girl
carried bundle on the arm, her only pro-
perry. She wore nothing on her head,
but her fee, were shod with wooden sa-
bots or shoes. Her dress was warm and
clean, ard it became bridal suit No
doubt they are destined to be happy, un-
less their hearts belle the honesty and
goodness beaming in their faces.

AcO,littal Of Amelia Nor
man.

The Jury in this case, the particulars of
which we have given, an after absence of
5 minutes, on FRIDAY evening, returned a
verdict of ''not guilty" The N. Y ork
Aurora thus details the manner in which
the verdic. was received
"Upon this announcement, the most tu-
multucus and uncomfortable of appIoba-
tory applause came simultaneously from
the mouth of almost every spectator, ex-
ceeding anything the reporter ever heard,
under any circumstances. The prisoner
tainted, from the excess of feeling, and
John A. Morrell, Esq, was so much af1ec-
ted, that he was obliged to be supported
by Mr. Graham for some seconds
1.-The spectators continued to shout forth
their appreciation, and their shouts were
echoed from without the court by hun
dreds Of people, who had collected to hear
the verdict, and were unable to obtain
admission.
THE Recorder ordered silence repea-
teddy, in order that the verdict might be
recorded; and upon its being restored, such
was done, and the jury discharged for the
term.
"Amelia Norman, overpowered by the
congratulations of her friends, was con-
ducled out of the court room, and subse
quently to the house of Mrs. Hopper, a
highly respectable lady. 1t was said by
the counsel yesterday, and the assertion
is true, that Mrs. l. NJ. Childs, the cele-
braled authoress, is ready and willing and
anxious to take her to The bosom of her
family and treat her as one of its mem-
bers.
"lIere is one female, at least, nearly des-
troyed by the acts of a seducer, who has
fortunately been rescued from her course
of life, and will be enabled to pass the rest
of her days among virtuous community.

ployment, and win back the esteem of

says he has, while actually engaged in
delivery of his lectures, caused persons a

CECIL COUNTY LAND.

There is considerable quantity of land offer
cd for sale in this county, and there is much more
for sale thai is advertised. Those who wish to
buy land would do well to come to Cecil where
they will find land cheaper considering its loca-
ton, and healthiness of climate, and susceptible
ity Of improvement, than can readily be found
elsewhere To gentlemen living further down
the peninsula, where fevers, agues, and other
autumnal diseases prevail TO so great an extent
as to render it very desirable to have healthy
residence during the sickly season, the lands y-

excellence of water, and general healthiness of
climate is unsurpassed.

igain to gladden. the earth with his smile, anoth-
er year will have passed to mingle with "tbo
years that have passed before the flood" There

year, MEMORY whispers of the Joys and sorrows,
of the hopes and fears which it has brought me,
and many are the monitors which S Gem to say
F'memento mort"

ola young lady, who is now in the spirit land
A few weeks since she was an ac i've, intelligent
school teacher-I hope she is now an angel in
heaven. Her journal commenced with the be-
ginning of the year, but, oh. it ended ere its
close. The last lines were written with tren-
bling hand aud several pages were left blank
unwr tten On one of them took the liberty OF
scribbling the following, tmpromptuf

Slowly I've turned thcsH pages DER,
And read with teariil eye,
The Journal thou hast written hero,
Commencing with the present year,
And coming to this cold blank leaf,
| cannot pass it by;
For though it tells of thee no more,
II tells me of dcparted worth
A noble spirit free from earth,
An angel in the sky;
1t whispers too, that "li'e is brcf''
That we are "born to die"
Alice on earth we never met
On. earth we may not meet
But is there not a heaven of bliss,
A brighter, happier world than this,
Where Death never come;
Where kindred spirits may retreat,
From darkness when le's sun has set,
Where nought but love shall move the heart,
And none are ever forced to part,
With the loved ones they meet;
If Death can take us 10 that home,
Then welcome Death-'''tis sweet"

MY WOODLAND HOME.
MNEAIONlCS.


Away, IN the wildwood, away,
Where the music of Nature is heard,
Where the birds carol sweet on each spray,
And the breeze hath the forest leaves stirr'd.
Where murmurs the brook through the glen,
And sunshine and shadow may play,
And the fox peeping out Of his den,
Would find none to fright him away.
1t was there that my childhood was nurscd,
1t is there that my heart wanders still,
And brighter and sweetcr than clst,
Fancy pictures each valley and hill.
In childhood longed for the day,
When from that sweet valley set free,
Light footsteps should bear me away,
world full of beauty to see.
1t came, and with scarce sad look,
| turned from the valley and dell,
unheeded passed the sweet brook,
That murmured its gentle tarcwcH.
have wandered-how aches my sad heart,
To think of the months and the years,
ANA found That, with knowledge apart,
Our Earth is valley Of tears.
Away to that valley of flowers,
My heart i'll itsyearnngs will roam;
Nor can forget the sweet hours,
passed in that loved woodland home.
How oft in the visions of night
My heart from its sorrows set free,
Dances wild with uniettered delight,
AS fancy has brought me to thee
UTOPIA, soon shall my feet
Press gently thy green urfof flowers
The friends that love let me meet,
And no more will roam from thy bowers.

man to win us to their society. To be
our companions, they should be fitted to
be our friends to rule our hearts, they
should be deserving the appreciation of

that there is no more, is rather the fault of
our own sex than their own and despite
all the unmany scandals that have been
