home more deeply intoxicated than usual.
He had been fighting with some Of his
companions, and had been badly bruised.
My tears fell fast as | bound up a severe

upon his hand. He looked up in my face
and slernly commended me 10 stop my

to supplicate his mercy and forgiveness.
Oh that blow 1t fell with fearful force

have yet to learn that the best way t
convince the Wings and Democrats tina
they are pursuing wrong course. is to
brand them with all the low and vulgar
names which the advocates Of liberty are
SO free in bestowing. What would you
say OF a preacher of the gospel who should
60 into the pulpit and stand up and call
his hearers company of swearers, liars,
thieves, Sabbath breakers. &c., and then
exhort them to come along with him and
serve God! Would you not think he
had better study human nature little
longer? So we think Of some advocates
of modern aboliionism.

est nducement for US TO persist in our ex.
ertions until we obtain full and final tri.
umrh for our principles.
ResolVed, That the renewed and perse-
verlng efforts Of the Democratic party to
fasten again upon the country the odious
measures of free trade and the sub-treas
ury, after having been so emphatically
repudia.ed in 1910, shows conclu sively
that, like the Bourbons, "they have learn
ed nothing, and they have forgotten noth-
ing"
Resol0ed, That the thanks OF this Dis
trict are due to the Hon. Solomon Foot,
for the able and faithful manner in which
he has discharged the duties OF our Rep
resentative on the floor of Congress and
that our best wishes accompany him into
that retirement which he has voluntarily
sought from the station in which he has
both honored our choice and won distinc<
ton for himself.
ResolOed, That we will cordially APP
prove the State ticket, nominated at Wood
stock on the 25lh ult, and will support il
with energy and we believe with success.
ResOIred, That we can send Hon VIM
Henry to Congress from this District, s.
viU.
On motion,
Resolved, That the proceedings of this
Convention be signed by the officers there
of and published in The Wing papers in

his libertyi These are undeniabe con-
sequences, and speak conviction to every

there is another source of consolation,
which is derived from The locality of place.
| am now 10 a State, where freedom is
most sensibly felt and Justly estimated; &
what gives me still more refined and ex-
allied pleasure is, that, in their new code
of laws. lately revised and Imay say
with propriety) corrected, there is not the
word slave, or even the idea of slavery
recognized; therefore, impressed with the
highest sense of liberty, and at the same
time wishing you the enjoyment of it, and
many happy years, l subscribe myself

FRIEND HoLcoMB:
1t is with disgust that hear the above
language used by the Liberty Party ( so
ealled) in this section Of country. Las,
week this party held State Convention
in this city and having little leisure, l
repaired 10 the meeting, on the public
square, where had remained but short
time ere | heard some Of the most oppro-
brious epithe,s cast upon Mr.. Clay and
other noble hearts who had taken up arms
in defence Of our country.
Since the news of Mr.. Clay having VOL
un.eered his services in defence of our
country, he has been reported as having
forfeited entirely, the confidence of the
Liberty Party. While he was labo.ing
for Liberty he was lauded 10 the skies,
but since he has taken one step higher,
he has been accused of being too Wing
gish, and as never being purely liberty
man.
Since have been in this country,
have attended several Liberty Party meet.

SUMMER MORNING IN THE COUNTRY.

UMMER MORNING IN THE COUNTRY
BY W. H: BuRLElGH.
How brightly on the hill side sleeps
The sunlight with its quickening rays
The verdant hills that crown the sleeps
Grow greener in its shimmering blaze
While all the air that rou nd us floats
With subtle wing, breathes only life;
And. ringing with thousand notes,
The woods with song are rife!
Why, this is Natures holiday!
She puts her gayest mantle on -
And, sparkling DER their pebbly way,
With gladder shout the brooklets run
The birds and breezes seem to give
A sweeter cadence to their song
A brighter life the insects live,
That float in light along.
"The cattle on thousand hills"
The feecy focks that dot the vale,
The joy alike in life, that fills
The air, and breathes in every gale
And who, that has heart and eye
To feel the bliss and drink il in,
But pants for scenes like these, 10 fly
The city's smoke and din
A sweet companionship TO hold
With Nature in her forest bowers,
And learn the gentle lessons told
By singing birds & opening flowers
Nor do they err who love her lore
Tho books have power to stir my heart,
Yet Nature varied page can more
ofrapturous joy impart
No selfish joy-if duty calls,
Not sullenly turn from these
Though dear the ash OF waterfalls,
The winds low voice among the trees, -
Birds, flowers, and focks-tor Gcd hath
taught
oh, keep my heart, the lesson STILL
His soul alone with bliss is fraught,
Who needs his fathers will!
