CRY IMPROVEMENTS. An important improve
ment has lately been started in the city, which s
entitled to special notice. The vacant lot adjon-
ing Rupp's restaurant, and near the railroad de-
pot having been leased by its proprietor, John w.
Maury, esq, To Adams & Co., in the express bu-
sncss, these latter gentlemen have promptly made
arrangements for the erection Of capacous office.
The services OF Mr.. Mathew Gait Emory, an
experienced mechanic of the city, were called
promptly into rcquistion, and already the work is
assuming form and shape gratifying to all we'll
wishcrs of the city. The front of the new house,
We understand, will be of IRON and will reflect
credit upon the energetic proprictors and the skill
ful mechanics employed in its construction.

We published short time since certain reso-
buttons recently adopted by tho Democratic le-
gislature Of Maine, by large majority, in favor
Of the Incorporation of the Wilmot proviso into
any bill which may be adopted by Congress
providing for the establishment of Territorial
governments for New Mexico and Utah. In
view Of the adoption. of those resolutions, We
presume, was written the article which the
reader will find below II appears that 'the
most perfect toleration-the greatest license of
opinion" on the subject of slavery has been
'the policy and practice" Of the Democratic
party in Maine, and that individual members
of that party ''may hold such opinions on
the subject as they please, without impair
ing their standing with the party" This
we understand to be the 'policy and practice"
Of the Democratic party generally.
We understand that so long an individual
member of that party votes the regular ticket,
he may concur in the anti -slavery opinions of
MIR. GIDDINGs and Mr. WILMoT without i'm
pairing his standing with the party--with the
party certainly in the non slaveholding States,
and without the slightest fear of being denounced
by the ''sole organ" of the party in this city.
If we recoAect rightly, Mr.. WILMor's re-elec-
ton to Congress, after he had introduced his
famous resolution in the House of Representa-
tiyes, was hailed with expressions of the most
lively satisfaction by the ''sole organ" here.
Undoubtedly it was the refusal of the Barn
burners of New York to vote the regular Dem
ocratic ticket, and not their anti-slavery opin-
ions, however ultra, that has impaired their
standing with the Democratic party even in the
South.
Whenever they fall into line, and agree to
conform to the usages of the party and to sup
port its regular nominations, their free-soil
sins-although they should continue to enter
tain and to express their free-sol opinions
would be considered as all washed out, and
they would be regarded and recognised as poll
tical brethren by the Democrats of the South
And yet, in the face OF these undcniable truths,
the Union teens with denunciatons of VIII
mot proviso or Free-soil Wings, because of
their anti-slavery opinions Why, how much
better is an Abolition Democrat than an Adolf
ton Whig-a Free-soil Democrat than Free
soil Whig-a Wilmot proviso Democrat than
Wilmot proviso Whig-an Anti-slavery
Democrat than an Anti-slavery Whigl These
are questions VIC should like to hear answered
by any of our Southern Democratic contempo-
rares.
But to the article alluded to in the COM
mencement of these remarks. We commend
it to the attention of our Wing readers, as con-
tanning matter well worthy Of their attention.

CoSJUoAL sTRFE.-Squire Myers had queer
before him the other day. 1t was somewhat knot
ty in the unraveling; but, that it is straight
encd out, may make an even yarn. The plaintiff
was injured and much abused wife, according
TO her own statement; and she desired reparation
for the injuries inflicted by her husband, and pro-
lection from further wrong-indemnty for the
past and security for the future. Five six wit
ncsscs examined, and from their testimony
the truth was elected Ii appeared that, although
the husband was not very gentle, he always, in
family fcuds, came Off second best; and that in
recent rencontrc, which proved the exciting cause
of the present litigation he had been walopcd pref
ty ,oundly. The defendant in court had made
but poor defence in the domestic battle field
When invited to speak in his own defence, he
stated that he would make no charges against
any one. He would only say that could
fairly be brought against him. a. said he, "wil
never trouble her more, if she will only keep
out Of my way. Let us be separated; let behold
each other no morc-this is all ask. will never
modest her. unless the hour Of need of distress of
sickness should ovcrtake her, and then" His
voice faltered, his uttcrancc choked; the rest
must be imagined. The magistrate gave some
hints respecting the mode of obtaining divorce,
and babe the parties 20 in peace; but we cannot
guess how long the suspension Of hostilitics will
continue.

WoMAN's PATIENCE. How strange that the
patience of Job should be considered so remarkable
when there are so many mothers in this world whose
patience equals, lift does not exceed his What woud
JOB have done had he been compelled to sit in the
house and sew, and knit, and nurse the children
and see that hundreds of things were attended to
during the day, and hear children cry and fret and
complain? Or how would he have stood it if. like
some poor women, he had been Obliged TO raise a
family of ten or twelve children, without help, spen-
ding months, years-all the prime of life-in wash
ing, securing, scrubbng, mendng, cooking, nursinq
children, fastened to the house and offspring from
morning till night, from night till morning. sick or
well, storm or sunshine, his nights often rendered
miserable by watching over his children? How
could he have stood all this and, in addition to all
other troubles, the curses and even violence of =
drunken companion How could he have felt, after
wearing out his very existence for his tender off,
spring and worthless companion, to be abused and
blamed? JOB endured his bies and losses yerv we'll
for short time, but they did not endure long enouoh
to test the length of his patience. Woman tests her
patience by whole life of trials, and she does not
grumble at her burdens. We are honestly of the
opinion that woman has more patience than Job;
and instead of saying ''the patience of Job we
should say, "the patience Of woman''
