There yer was a se, or cl,s. community ofpersons SO belied, as these ancient hiies.
 Look upon it as no reproach to woman ina, she is not married at thirty or thirty i've Aboye all fla not into the vulgar notion of romances and sh.I low wts-unlearned n womens' hearts becau.a ,he, never had the love of a true woman-nat the .a ara continually lying in wait to catch bacielors henr, For woman who has fOated into the calm of her years, who is anxious to fir you, will find vou fifty ma idens in their teens, and just out, who ay thousand snares 10 entrap you, and with more cold booded inten-ior which is worse. that one of sin gleness Oi purpose should seek to lean upon you for

 Many a healthy, well bred woman, between twen- weight and thirty-hve, who is inclined 10 love yo,u and never bewiider your brains with supcons about whether she has intentions you or not. This : the rock of vanity pon whici many man has wrecl ed his best feelings and truest inclinat ions. Our faseness, and the Absences ot society, and more than all the false and hollow of hang uage upon this subject, leave very tte courage for straiR forward aud independent course the matter, WHa, matter if n woman likes you. and shows that she does, honestly, and wishes to marry you?-the more reason for sen congrauaiion but not for vanity What matter if she be young not, she be love abel won't say what matter if she be plain or not, for everybody knows that that is no matter where love is, though il may have some business in deter inning the sentiment. l don't know what has led me into this cause of remark.

NETWORK ELECTION AND VICTORY.


 The New-York Morning News. of the 9th, an nounces the result of the municipal election, which took place ou the Sth in the following terms:
 "Ihe Democracy swept the city yesterday, with irresistible force So complete victory has never before been won by any party at any period of our political contests. The triumph of the Nalivests last spring. was but cypher compared with ths brilliant achievement. Then the Natvelsts left to the Whgs only an Assessor the Second Ward, to soothe the bitterness of defeat. We have now allowed them, the Natives, but claim To a constable in the same Ward, nominated and elected b, the joint inction of the Wings and Natvests. This may be con- s'defed equal to about one-half of II trophy. Then the Natveists had 10 yield to us five and half wards; now, we allow them not one, and to the Wings ouly two wards. Then Harper's majority was near 1000, now Havemeyers approaches to 1000, showing gain on the popular of over 10000. Haveme,er's majority over Selden i'd about I6 ,OOO Indeed. Hayeneyer lacks but a few hundred votes o having majority over Seden and Harper combined Mir. iiayemeyer has made splendid run, and more than realized the most sangune expectations o his friends.
 We have fifteen Democrats to tive Whigs in each branch of the Common Council!'' The Native Americans gave their candidate a ma. jority in two wards of the city, the whigs carried not single ward for iheirs The Democrats carried fifteen for Havemeyer.
 When we get the details of the voting we shall be able 10 see what Is the separate strength of the whip proper, who abjured Natveism, and voted for SEL. DEN.

The Democratic Convention in Greene county passed resolution dissenting from the principles of representation m the Democratic State Convention recommended by the Leg isalye Convention last wn- ter. They not only disseuted from II, but went so far as to call it "wanton departure" from usage. and an attempt the part of the democrats of the north to deprive the Greene democrats of their "just rights and proper inuence in the selection of their rulers
 This resolution was adopted among others with out opposition debate, which shews sufhc,ently that It had not been properly examined IL is scarce y possible that in any meeting all respectable for numbers, there should not be found some to maintain the obvlous justice of the proposed mode of repre- senation. It is nothing more than propo.ition that democrats in all parts of the State shall have an equal voice in the nomination of capdidates-,ba, every individual democrat shall have as much r,sht as any other democrat in the meetings of the party. The Greene county assumption is in substance. thai the proportion which democrats from each coumtv ought 10 have in the State Convention. should be re- gulated not by their democratic numbers. but by the aggregate of both whigs and democrats-ihat is, the whole population 'n ther respective counties. It follows that the counties gain strength in inc Com Vent'on m direct proportion to the number of wings m the county, and lose strength in pro- portion 10 the greatness of their maorities as d. mocrats. The fewer the democrats the greater will be their relative power, for they count for the whole representative numbers of the county. And the re- i'tlve weight of each individual and of course the weight ofhs county in the Convention, decreases as the majority of wings over democrats increases - Tweny-two hundred democrats in Jackson county count for three members six hundred and fifty Tn Clarke count only for one, while the 800 m Greene VIII count as much all Jackson and three times as much as Clarke. This is what the Greene meeting cAl their just rights, while the Tuscal loosa proposi. ton was that only democrats sha be counied and all c 'un'ed eq'a'ly. We can see reasonable ground for the Greene complaint
