WIVES OF WORKING MEN.-Speaking of the
middle ranks of life, good writer observes:
There we behold woman in all her glory;
not doll to carry silks and jewels; not Puppet
to be danded by fops, and idols OF Profane adm''
ration. reyerenced to-day; discarded tomorrow;
admired but not respected; desired but not es-
teemed; ruling by passions not affection; impartng
her weakness not her constancy to the sex she
should exalt; the source and mirror of vanity.
We see her as the wife partaking the care, and
guiding the labor of her husband; ana oy heI
domestic diligence spreading cheerfuness all
around; for his sake. sharing the decent rehne-
ments of the world without being told OF them,
placing all her joy, all her happiness in the merlted
approbation of the man she loves. AS mother
we find her the affectionate, the ardent instruc-
tress of the children she has reared in infancy,
and trained them up 10 virtue, to meditation and
benevolence, addressing them as rational beings
and preparing them to become men and women
in their turn.

81 feel the proffered kindness and the manner
in which it has been rendered, especially YOU
have thought proper t. associate with it the dis
charge of duties which you deem preservative of
our glorious Union-I have said sir, that we are
not here for the purpose of making speeches-but
in the midst of this scene-here, where the vene.
rated Washington breathed upon the Union Of
which you have spoken, the pure spirit which at
all times characterized his devotion TO his country
that spirit was not hreathed in van-it exists
and is felt in every part of our beloved country,
and under its influence the Union, unbroken and
without dishonor, shall be perpetuated to the
motest pOsterity. (Tremendous cheering and ap-
pIause) And, sir, it affords me pleasure to say,
that in the good work of adjustment, conciliation
and compromise, have been aided and sust aimed
by patriotic men Of all parties-those who call
themselves democrats, with equal purity, devotion
and placing just estimate upon the Union.
achieved and framed by revolutionary valor and
wisdom. have alike determined upon its perpetual
preservation. Without making speech, sir,
deem the occasion and the place not inappropriate
TO the uttering of sentiment cherished by ME,
and deserving of being entertained by all men.
1t is this, and assert it with great confidence,
that that party, whether whig democrat, which
at the present time gives the greater support to
he nj me 0f tbo a.
cate questions present dstracting the national
councils, and seriously threatening disturb the
harmony of the Union, will be entitled to and
most assuredly will receive the lasting confidence
and gratitude of the country" (Great and long
continued applause)
The asssmbage were then successively ad-
dressed by Mr.. Foote. Mr. Dickinson. Mr. Dawson
and Mr.. Pratt. in terms of fervent eloquence, each
sustaining and endorsing the views expressed by
