Mr.. Bebb appears to be getting dishsartened at
the i'll success OF his eectioneering tour He does
notkeep all the appointments made for him, and
is evidently Of opinion that the audiences which
he addresses are quite too small and select The
Seneca Advertiser of the 18th instant says:
"Mr Bebb did not fulfil the appointmet- OF the
State Central Committee, in failing to speak In or
visit this place-nor did he attend the Grand Coun-
cil' of one hundred, from six counties, at Rome;
the meeting at which the Standard man appointed
himself superintendent. At Lower Sandusky, we
are assured by persons who were present, that not
over one hundred and twenty were in attendance
to hear Mr. Bebb, including ladies, democrats, &C.
At Perrysburg, the meeting was very slim, and it
receives very feeble notice in the Reveille
The wings are atiributing these small gather.
ings to the busy season. They are ready for all
sorts of apologies for the apathy and want OF en-
thusiasm in their ranks. AT present, it must be
evident, no orator can assemble meeting Of any
respectable number of wings. The mass Of that
party are discussing the tax law honestly and can
didly at their fire sides, aud whggery may rely up
on it, heavy judgment will be their doom in Ocf
tober next" M

the camp, their true hearted do not forget the
lessons Of childhood and the memories Of home
And after all, what is there in gory-in fame or
wealth, to compare with that luxury Of the heart,
which springs from the conviction that we have
performed duty'-a duty dearer and higher be-
cause impressed by parental lips-and one which,
even in the peris of the battle field, and on the

ISOLATION, when neither the voice Of praise nor the
thunder shout of victory have charm nor inspira-
