Wet MooNs.-Some lady poet compares
the new moon to golden barge. dashing 'hro'
the ccrulean ocean OF the sky. The bo,o OF the
barge, is unusually depressed the present sea-

pressure steamboat or the golden barge oil

,ha, the moon is made Of green cheese, and
inhabited by intellectual shippers. There is

when "powder horn may be hung upon The

he heard of It, We are glad have it in power to

their profits still larger they discharged the American
operatives and travel into the provinces of Queen Vic

COUNTRY PAPERS.

The leading democratic papers are alive to the tru'
interests Of their party. We have lately noticed in sew
era whig papers, appeals for the support of th'
country press. They well know the necessity Of ha
wing home papers to attend to home matters The gea
security for success is in good and thorough organza
tion throughout the country. A great part of the or
ganization is efficient press, which shall not only
manfuly defend our principles and disseminate facts
but also expose the Misrepresentation and evil machna-
tions of our opponents.
Eastern papers which have extensive circulation
throughout the Union are doubtless good in advocating
our principle and will RETAIL in the smallest mnutia al
the crimes and vices of the larger cities. But what
care they, and how is it possible for them 10 attend to
our country affairs, and country organizaioni They
have their own work OF this kind to attend to- Persons
who prefer knowing how their political friends in the
eastern cities managing their part of the contest to
home discipline and who not Jealous Of succeeding
at home perhaps may do best to take foreign paper
and thereby suffer their at home, 10 languor and
die.
Let the people arouse to the necessity and support
the country press. twill then be conducted with more
spirit, and be more deserving support Our elections
will be co nduced more contest of reason and prin-
cpe. And victory will be much more certain to crown
our efforts.
