NJ-That crisis has arrived in the affairs OF
Ireland, no one can doubt. In the death OF
her most gifted son, the repeal cause will be
likely to die also; and Ireland, we fear, is
destined to be still bound down by the British
yoke of tyranny and despotism. Upon this
subject the New York Herald has the following
sensible remarks:
The news, in political point Of view, is of
Importance to England and Ireland-we mean
that part of it relating TO the death of O'Con-
nell. It would be task of supcrerogaton to
60 at large into the origin of the disputes which
produced the separation of the OConnel par
ty and the party known as s'young Ireland =
The former party held as its maxim passive
resistance and moral suasion-the other, ply
steal force in case of necessity. The one de-
MED the right of revolution; even when all
other measures would fail; and the other,
which may be rightfully termed the revo-
Iutionary party, would stand to the right of
resisting aggression by the pike or the bayo-
net The one has lost its leader, but the 9TH
er has not; for Smith OBrien, strong and
powerful man, is still alive-yOung, enthusi-
astic, and pledged to the cause in which he is
engaged by the strongest Of earthly ties,
With the decease of Daniel O'Connell, we
may, perhaps, date the decease of the moral
force principle, but we cannot suppose for a
moment that the party of which he was the
head, is dead. 1t is only deprived of its gen
eral and it will survive a short time, but only
short time, because, ere long, the magic at
traction of Repeal" will bring them into the
ranks OF Young Ireland. When this shall hap
pen, Irish politics will assume a new and dis
tinct feature. A clear, distinct and decided is
sue may be formed between England and that
country; and if repeal be not carried by the
force Of circumstances, it may perhaps soon
be carried by the bayonet or the pike.
1t must be recollected that the two parties
aimed for the same object, but thai they differ
ed as to the most justifable mode OF obtaining
it. No man living but OConnell could have
led the order Of Ireland to the pitch that he did
and stopped and controlled it at the point be-
yond which he wished it not to go; but hi:
charm is gone, and although his body may BIZ
buried in Ireland, neither his spirit nor his ell
oquence will be longer felt there. Young Ire
land will have her full sway, or perish. The
crisis in the history of Ireland has indeed ar
rived.

SICK HEADAcH.-It should be remembered
that sick headach, in all cases, proceeds from
disofdcred stomach, aud corrupt state of the
blood.

decayed teeth, and many other distressing COM
plants; and when taken into circulation, and
thrown uron the various parts of the body, give
rise to every malady incident to the man.
-Four or five of said Indian Vegetable Pills, ia
ken once in twenty-four hours, will in a short time
put complete stop to sick headach-at the same
time the digestive organs will be restored to
healthy tone, and the blood completely purified

This certifes that | have recommended the use
of Wistars Balsam Of Wild Chtrry for diseases
of the lungs for two years past, and many bottles
to my knowledge have been used by my patients,
all with beneficial results. In two cases, where it
was thought confirmed consumption had taken
place, the Wild Cherry effected a cure.

unparalleled and astonishing efficacy of DR.. Wis

for which it is recommended, curing many cases
after the skill of the best physicians was unavaiI-

for it. This fact has caused several unprinclpled

THE PORTSMOUTH RoAD-Our readers will
recollect that we stated, on the 18th inst, that
a rumor, had reached here, to the effect that a
company Of Northern capitalists were negoti-
ating for the purchase of the Portsmouth Rail
Road, and also the purchase of the CASTOR
Road we understand since, upon reliable
authority, that they have purchased the Ports
mouth Road, and that it is their intention tO
continue said Road to the CASTOR Road We
UCIlcVe from what we nave ncdEQ ABOUT lniS
Northern company, that it is their intention
not to stop at what they have already accom-
pIished, but that they will probably push OF
and lay down road still farther South
Would it not be wise for them to direct theil
attention this way? We are inclined to be-
lieve it would. And we are of opinion that il
would not be amiss for those OF our citizens
who feel interested in the construction of the
Wilmington and Manchester Road, to make
the company acquainted with the advantage:
that would naturally follow from the building
OF the latter road. When we say building
we do not intend to be understood, that ~
have any doubts about the ultimate compile
ton OF this road at some day, but what We
do mean is, that with the aid of the company
alluded to, this road can be built at much
earlier day than 1t could otherwise. Our del
egates are now at Marion for the purpose O.
organizing the Wilmington g. Mancheste
company, and we hope they will not suHe
this matter to slip their attention.

Meath the smile of the moon, then the light Dragon
Will lie down with his steed again.

VOTING MEN

The most anxious moment in the history of a
young man, is that moment when he forsakes the
parental roof and goes forth into the wide world to
seek livelihood. The interests of life are crowd
ed into that period. The tears of mother, the
counsels of father, consecrae that eventiu! mo-
ment. Away from old associates, and settled in
some new home, how apt the former restraints are
TO be cast off, The trial of virtue now comes.
The test Of principle is now applied. If he hold
fast his integrity. the prayers of his father and mo
Their, rising oft when the still dews are falling will
bring blessings thick as the mamma that fell round

But if he prove faithless, then will memory embit-

dust.
