MIR. VENABLE AT CHAPEL HILL.

We learn from an esteemed friend that Mr.. Ven.
able addressed his fellowcitizens of Orange County
at Chapel Hill, few days since in his usual happy
and convincing style. S. F. Phillips, Esq, after a
months preparation We learn replied with spirit and
ability, making the most that could be made out of a
bad cause. We would be glad to publish full ac-
of the discussion. Will not some friend write
it and send it to US? Our informant states that Mr..
Venabe's rejoinder concluded the arguments. Mr..
Phillips We have no doubt wisely concluding that it
was
"Better to bear the blo,us he had
Than fly to others that he knew not Of.
Graham Democrat.
If MI. Philips could bring himself, after month"; s
preparation, to make such Speech as would leave
no necessity for rejoinder to his opponent in de-
bate, after that opponent had replied to him, what
could he not do. if fortified by two or three months
preparation! The Consolidatioaiss of the Orange
District ought to p, Mr. Philips up for Congress
the first favorable occasion. He would make as good
run, to say the least, as Messrs. Kerr and Nash
did. That would be something at any rate 1, would
put him in the line of safe precedsnts, and in the
way of getting something from the great conserva-
tive" Consolidation Federal Wing party-qf1er q
,vhit.
We would respectfully suggest to Mr.. Philips,
inasmuch this is his first appearance the poti-
cal boards, to preserve his for future refer.
ence The Speech may be quested for publication
by some Committee other and ifno, the Editor of
the Register may speak for the 'notes' foundation
for some Of his luminous Editorials. Preserve the
notes, Mr.. Philips. The interests of the "great
Whig party" require that you should do 50.

sNNNMERM SNMyAMEA,
One More Prayer.

The following beautiful and touching story
was related by DR.. schnebly, of Maryland, at
a meeting held in New York, to hear the mex
e~erience of twenty reformed drunkards:
"a drunkard who had run through his pro-
perty, returned one night to his unfinished
home. He entered his empty hall--anguish
was gnawing athis heart strings; and language
Is inadequate to express his agony as he enter
cd his wife's apartment, and there beheld the
victims of his appetite, his lovely wife and
darling child. Morose and %sullen, he seated
himself without a word; he could not speak, he
could not look upon them. The mother said
to the angel by her side, Come, my child, it is
time to 90 to bed,' and the babe, US was her
wont, knelt by her mothers lap, and gazing
wistfulIy into the face of her suffering parent
like a piece Of chiselled statuary, slowly re-
peated her nightly o%rison; and when she had
finished, (but four years of age) sad to her
mother:
"Dear ma, may ] not offer up one more
prayerw
"Yes, yes, my sweet pet, pray"
And ske lifted up her tiny hands, closed her
eyes, and prayed:
ooh God, spare, oh spare my dear papa!"
That prayer was waited up with electric ra-
pidity to the throne of God. 1t was heard-lt
was heard on earth. The responsive "Amen y
burst from the fathers lip, and his heart OF
stone became a heart of flesh. Wife and child
were both clasped to his bosom, and in peni-
tence he said "My child, you have saved your
father from the drunkard's grave. l will sign
the pledge"
