WOMAN

Woman has aver been the first to sue
cor the needy and the last to desert the
unfortunate. This is eminently true
We have all seenit-we know all about it.
When the Saviour Of mankind was led
like q malefactor to execution when
the light of the sun was withdrawn, and
night, and storms, and darkness covered
the earth with their gloomy drapery /;
when the solid rocks were rent, with a
loud noise asunder; when the graves
opened and the dead came forth; when
His friends had deserted Him, and He
wa suffering all that the malice of ene-
mics the most deadly and unrelenting
could inhict ; surely this was enough to
appal the stoutest hearts. But did Mary,
and the women that were with her, de-
sert Him even theni No, they stood
afar off and wept-" were last at the
cross, and first at the sepulchre," and
here they kept their sad vigils until the
Saviour rose triumphant owe death and
the gravel
Such was woman at the birth of Chris
ianity, and such We find her still-ever
ministering TO the needy, and angel like,
visiting the couch of affection.

GAIN THE YOU'VE TO THE CAusE.-It
wa a happy thought that suggested the
enrolment Of youth in the great t~eetotal
army. The FIRST generation Of abstain
erS are rapidly passing from the stage OF
action, but their places are being filed,
in many instances, by those who have
been trained to total abstinence princi-
pies. Here we see the wisdom Of the
foTethought that prompted their enroll
ment. Unaccustomed to the habit Of
drink, knowing not ofthe actual self-mis-
cry Of inebriety, with pure hands and
clean hearts they hasten to the duty Of
n~pho!ding the temperance standard
Encourage friends, the maintenance OF
this all-powerful auxiliary. As a res
peeted foreign contemporary says, we
have many cheering signs Of progress a.
round US, but non is so full Of hope and
encouragement as the efforts which are
making on all hands to engage the affec-
tions Of the young in so great and good
work. God raises up His own agen-
cies, and calls into their proper field oil
exeition the fitting servants. 10 perform
HIS work. The young boys and girls,
who are eagerly embracing the truths Of
temperance, will in a few years be teach
ers in Observation-Disclosures and moth.
ers Of families. What a power and in
hOence this will be! This is a reflection
calculated to arouse the most supine tc
exertion. Much Of their power, for evi
or for good, depends upon US. Let u.
fully appreciate the truth, and be prepar
ed TO discharge our duty to them. Th,
ideas we stamp upon their young mind
will go down, enlarged and improved, t.
their prosperity. What a responsibility
is imposed upon usI Let US fully est
mate il. NeW Highlander.

NORTH CAROLINA MECHANICS.

That the Mechanics of this State, if prop
erly encouraged, can successfully compete
with any others, has been often asserted and
frequently proved. But we would ask of
what benefit has either the proof or the as
sertion been to them. Those of our citizens
who want a handsome piece of furniture
fine carriage or buggy suitof clothes
or any article Of fashion or beauty, send to
Philadelphia, New York or Boston, believ-
ing that unless it bears a foreign stamp it is
worthless. Why is this? Is New York,
because she bears the title of the Empire
City," to be the standard by which the en-
lightened citizens of North Carolina are to
be governed in the purchase of such articles
as are required by them for their household
comfort or accommodation. It is full time
that we throw off our weak subverviency to
Northern cities and Northern Mechanics
We pay them heavy and large profits on
goods manufactured Expressly for the
Southern Market" To be sure they look
amazingly handsome, but what security have
we, save the outside polish, of the quality of
the articles?
The home manufacturer, has an interest
at stake in the durability and strength as
well as beauty of his manufactures. And
yet in defiance of all sound principle, the
majority of our citizens will send yearly thou.
sands of dollars to support Northern Mechan.
ics-and what do they get in return? Why
if slaves run of, or are enticed away, these
Northerners will use the verymoney furnish
ed by the South, to prevent their return,
and thereby rob them Of their lawful prop.
erty. And strange to say with all these
facts staring them in the face, North Carroll
ma will be so blind as to give them " aid and
comfort" Citizens of the South we call on
you to come forward and as one man say,
WI GO Il FOR AND WILL SUPPORT HoMI
MANUFACToRIEs."

on Friday last.
John McDonough, a well known citi-
zen OF this place, reputed to be worth
over ten millions of Dollars, and distin-
guished for his extreme mIserly DISPOSE

after a brief illess. II appears that he

the poor of New Orleans and Baltimore
The proportion of the dividend towards
these charitable purposes, however, is
not stated.

CIRCULAR.

TINE UNDERSIGNED proposes TO publish a
Il political Weekly paper in the German lam
guage, IN the City q Wassisgton in support Of the
raj Iaylor came into power, and being DESTROYS to
obtain the aid and corporation Of the Wing party,
he would respectfully state the reasons which, in
his estimation, make it desirable and necessary
that such paper should be established at the seat
of Government.
|. The number of those who use the German Ian
guagc as their medium of intercourse is upwards of
Three Millions, and this number is constantly in
creasing by immigration.
2. The name of Democrats being the appellation
OF the liberal popular party OF Germany, to
which all the immigrants before their emigration
belonged they do, of course, range themselves with
the party bearing that appellation in this country,
as soon as they are able TO exercise the elective
franchise; and the more SO, as the country teens
with Democratic papers in the German language,
whose particular object and anxiety 1t is TO this
Interpretation TO the best advantage.
3. Although there few Wing papers in the
country, they bear principally local character,
and, relying for their support more on local patron
age than on their subscription lists, they do gene
rally stand or fall with the defeat of the
Wing party in-their particular section.
4. The Germans, however, being an intelligent
and reading people, are accessible to sound argu-
ment, and paper conducted with uprightness, and
speaking the plain truth, will be able, by degrees,
to overcome prejudices, correct errors and misap-
prehensions, and by its own direct influence, as
well as by its influence upon the local Wing pa
pers, now III existence, Will, IT Is hoped, produce
the desired effect, and gain the rejecting and think
ing that is the influential, portion of the German
citizens, over TO the Wing ranks.
8. The undersigned is well aware that he has
many and serious obstacles TO overcome, but rely
ing upon the power of truth and the cooperation
of the Wing party, account Of the intrinsic
merits Of his enterprise, does not fear to be charged
with entertaining too sanguine hopes, if he antci
pates satisfactory result.
