some five feet from the floor. That is St. Pc
ter himself There is a genteel looking lady
Just kissing his toe, which she tirst wiped with
her nice white handkerchief for the person
who preceded her moment before, had
vagabond look, and was any thing but tidy a.
bout the mouth. What with constant wiping
and kissing, this effgy of the Pope Peter will
soon be minus great toe entirely, as that
member is more than half worn off already, and
is as bright as ploughshare fresh from the fur
row. One group which l noticed touched me,
and l wished the power to sketch it. 1t was
OF young looking mother, with two boys and
little girl kneeling together on the pavement
by themselves, all dressed in deep mourning,
the family servant also kneeling near them
1t was .famiiy-of which the dark attire and
sorrowful looks told the sad story of bereaye-
ment. The husband and the father had been
taken, and these were left in need Of that grace
which they came to seek. 1t was most sug-
gestive sight.
After while heard the tones of an organ
and OF voices singing. comming from distance,
and reverberating down the nave. Following
the direction of the sound, came to the chap
ell of St. Nicholas in which from hundred
and fifty to two hundred singers, men and
boys, were discussing most excellent music"
Istood halfan hour and listened. Solos, duets
quartetts, and choruses followed each other in
one rich and impressive fow interpreted with
marchings, bowings, kneelings and waving of
censers. No pains are spared in getting up
these things in the most perfect manner. In
the evening walked slowly back, picturing to
myself the widely differaut scenes which will
here be witnessed. when the follies of Man of
Sin shall give place to pure and spiritual
Christianity.

TRUE NOBILITY:
The Blacksmith Daughter.
BY MRS. EMMA C. EMBURY.
" This is the pret,iest low-born lass that e'er
Ran Oh the greensward."

Well, WELL mon ami, I will not argue the
point with YOU as an American you are right
in holding such belief; but you must still
allow me to think that is something not to
despised in ancient and honorable descent. l
cannot but believe that the descendants of
those no for generations have been ennobled
by lofty deeds of high emprise, will be more
likely to perform magnanimous actions than
the son of humble plebeian.'
"You agree with me precisely, Henri ; but
We differ in terms. 1 assert that the children
of family which can look back with honest
pride to deeds of integrity and uprightness, of
bility; for their patent bears the signet of an
Almighty hand
"Then the son of an honest blacksmith
ought to be as proud of his birth as the heir of
Montmerenci or Condo is that your opin-
ion:"
"Something very like it, confess Henri;
what was the origin of the mobiles of the world
Rapine and violence gave them their heritage
of broad lands, while servile submission to a
monaIch, or perhaps treachery to his enemy
was often the price paid for their sounding t.
ties. Had they been ennobled for their ri'taes'
Henri and had they transmitted these. togeth-
err with their proud names, through succeed
ing generations, then well might their descen-
dants have gloried in their birth but surely
you need not be reminded of the black cata
| logue of crime which might be appended to
every genealogical chart in 'merrie England,
| no Less than in your 'gyande naton:"
81 won't quarrel with youiabout it, Frank
but l shall never become a convert to your
doctrine perhaps am to deeply infected with
such prejudices, but they were part of my
lawful heritage
81 know it, Henri the blood Of one of the
noblest families of France runs in your veins,
and the only wonder is, that under such Cir
cumstances you should possess such true no.
5ility."
"What do you mean y
81 am surprised that you did not follow the
example of most branches of noble stock
and make the fame of your ancestors license
for your own worthlessness.
"Frank, you are incorrigibe, SAID Henri'
laughing according to Your creed l ought to
rank YOU, who possess so many estimable quail
tiles, among the lowest of the low
"Place me in what station you choose, Hen
ri so long as you find no cause for despising
me. But you mistake me; do not think no
bility of soul incompatible with nobility OF

If he fails TO vote the whole ticket, ii
will be in effect voting against General
Shields, .Breese. or some other good dem.
ocrat for the United States Senate. As
a party we have reason to be proud of our
candidates for Senator & Representatives.
Some of them have distinguished them
selves in our state councils, heretofore.
and won high rank among their fellow
members, and reflected honor upon their
constituents. Those who have not been
in our Legislatures. heretofore, are well
qualified by their talents and industry for
the business Of Notwithstanding the
candidates together, they are worthy Of
the confidence and support of democrats.
In regard TO candidates for county Off
ces, we are aware that the impression has
become too general, that there is no great
sacrifice of principle, in permitting ., wing
to be elected. This is wrong. 1t is i'm
possible to conceive the influence which
a sheriff, or other officer, who has inter.
course with the people, has over coun'
ty. In our defeats, in nine cases out of
ten if the true causes were traced ut,they
would be found to have originated in an
indifference about the observance OF coun.
ty nominations. Therefore, the rules that,
all admit the necessity Of, in the govern
ment ofour party in the selection ofcandi.
dates for the National and State officers,
should apply with equal force on our can
didates for county officers. 81. r..
Democratic principles are now in a
towering ascendancy in this state and let
it be the earnest endeavor of every repub.
lican to keep them so. The wings have
no hope of success, except they can barter
and trade, so as to cause division in our
party. We regret that there are some
symptoms Of disafectiOn existing in this
county, as well as some others. which
may if persisted in, CRAFTY the e1pecta-
tons ofour insidiOus and willy foe. Dem.
ocrats, our party organization must be
maintained, and our harmony secured, il
we expect to retain the ascendency of our
party in the state.

Wing and Abolition Alliance.

Our charge of an unholy league be-
tween few of the professed leaders Of
the wing and abolition parties; (Which
called forth the "True Democrats" most
familiar epilhet, and the one which the
editor seems fully to understand, viz :
"falsehood.' y is fully proven by the pub
lished proceedings of the mongrel Plain
field meeting. We made our charge ON
the most reliable authority, but ii is now
established by the opposition's orn organ.
For the proof, we would refer to a resolu-
ton which was adopted by the meeting
This resolution was reported to the meet
ing by committee, of which A.McIntosh,
former editor of the ''True Democrat"
and DR.. Corbin, who was the nominee o,
the wing county convention, for coroner,
were members and reads as follows:
"Resolved, That we will give our sup.
port at the coming elections to no man
rhO is not unqualifedly opposed TO the
election Of the recent nominees ofthe Bal.
timore and Philadelphia conventions"
"The Western Citizen and other papers
Favorable to The Increment" were request.
ed to publish the proceedings of this mon.
grel meeting. The "True Democrat" has
published them, though j. took the privi-
lege to garble them, 60 as to leave Mr..
Leach's nomination DOT, and consequent.
ly must be considered as saneti oning the
movement openly; we would here say,
that every one who knows any thing about
the matter, knows that it's editor was one
Of the most oficious in starting the move.
meDt, secretly.
Our abolition and wing friends, now
occupy beautiful position |! A position
which gives the lie to their professed at.
tacbment TO principle. The bargaining.
bartering, buying and selling. which is
going on between them is enough to dis.
grace any set ofmen laying claims to hon.
esty or CONSISTENCY. That there are some
in both parties, who will not be bound BY
this alliance of their leaders, we have no
doubt-Monday next will however, settle
the matter. IS.
