Our homes, what is their cornerstone
but the virtue ofwomen, and on what does
social well being rest but on our homes?
Must we not trace all other blessings of
civilized life to the door of our private
dwellings, Are not our hearth stones,
guarded by the holy forms ofconjugal, and
flial love, the corncr-stones of Church and
State; more sacred than either more neccs-
sary than both! Let our temples crumblc
and our academies decay, letevery public
edIfce, our halls ofjustice, and our capitals
of State, be levelled with the dust; but
spare our homes Man did not invent,
and he cannot invent, and he cannot i'm
prove or abrogate them. A private shell
ter to cover in two hearts dcarer to each
all the world; high walls to Sc
cludc the profanc eyes of-every human
being; scclusion enough for children to
feel that mother is holy and peculiar
is home; and here is the birth
place of every virtuous impulse, of every
sacred thought. Here the Church and
the State must come for their origin and
their support. o, spare our homes! The
love we experienced there gives us our
faith IN an intimate goodness, the purity
and disntercsted tenderness of home is
our foretastc and our earnest ola better
world. In the relations there established
and fostcred, do we find through life the
chief solace and joy of existence. What
friends deserve the name compared with
those whom a birth-right gave US. One
mother is worth a thousand friends, one
sister dearer and truer than twenty init
mate companions. We who have played
onthc same hearth under the same light and
smiles, who date back to the same season
ofinnoccnce and nope; in whose veins runs
the same blood. do we not find that years
only make more sacred and important the
tie that binds us?-Coldness may spring
up, distance may separate, different spheres
may dlvide-but those who can love any,
thing, who continues to love at all, must
find that the friends who God himself gave
are wholly unlike any we can choose for
ourselves, and that the yearning for these
is the strongest spark in our expiring affcc-

Henry Clay.

On the 18th OF April, l777, or ~ years
ago, from this day, Henry Clay. the great.
est American Statesman now living was
born, in the county Of Hanover, and State
Of Virginia, in district Of country Of
northeast of Richmond, iamilirrly known
as the Siashcs. His father. n Baptist clcr-
gyman, was poor, and died during the
war Of the Revolution, leaving a widow
and seven children, to educate and clotho
themselves as best they could.
1t is now settled point, that Mr.. Clay
Is never to be Prcsidcnt--a destiny ho
meets without a murmnr. Himself and
his friends have the consolation to know,
however, that his rrtues and not his fauhs
have excluded him from that lofty station,
Had he, in connection with his towering
abilities, and other enrolling qualities, like
most Of our great men and leading politis
clans. been careful to trim his sails to the
popular breeze, and never act Till he was
sure the multitude were with him--had hc
been less of Statesman and more Of n
Dcmagoguc, he would long since been the
President Of the United Suites. But he
served his country more and Aattcrcd his
countrymcn less, than other politicians
whose fame has been difiused abroad, and
because, as he says, he had sooner be rigM
than be President.
While there is one CLEAN Of the ancient
glory Of Greece rcmaining-whilc there is
decent regard of Liberty, still lingering
on the shores Of Amcrica-whilc there re-
mains soil and air, in other cirncs, consccrn-

Mr. E.3,to-

Some time back Mr..
Richard Powell at the instance of many
Wings announced himself a candidate for
a seat in the State Legislature am in
formed that in some portions Of the coun-
ty there are persons trying to make an inn
preston, that Mr.. Powell has or will with
draw from the canvass before the cleo
ton. l am authorized to say that he has
never intimated to any one directly or in-
directly that he ever had any such inten-
ton. AT a proper time he will make
known his views upon all questions the
people of the county may feel an interest
in, and at the same time defend the posi-
ton he has taken against the broken down
and defeated aspirants who are leaders or
would be leaders of the Wing party, who
have for years controlled, guided and
transferred the large majority Of the Wing
party. A WING.
Lynchburg Virginian. [volume] (Lynchburg [Va.]) 1829-185?, 1851-05-08

Tho causes which have operated in pre-
venting the Wing party Of this district from
having candidate before the people are
known; and for those reasons it is unneces-
sary to refer TO them now. Thepostpone-
ment Of the elections has given full time for
consideration, and in view Of that fact the
Wings Of Charlotte have proposed that
Convention be held at Farmville. on the
goth inst, for the purpose ofmaking nom
nation. Several counties have responded
to this proposition by appointing delegates.
and we trust the Wings Of Campbell viii
take steps ON Monday next, (Court-day,)
to be represented in the district meeting
at the time appointed. No appeal is ne
cessaryto stimulate the Wings to action in
this matter. Those who recollect the con-
vention in February, lat Farmville, have not
forgotten with what zeal and animation the
Wings from every part ofthe district came
forward to counsel for their future welfare,
and to redeem district which had been
lost because they were not united.
The same zeal will animate them again,
and the intimidating spirit which our enc
mics delight SO much to indulge in, because
the labors of that session were lost as they
suppose from fear Of the great and
ovcrtowering ability which is to be met in
the Democratic candidate, will thenhaveto
find a new excuse for its vanity. In every
district in the State, where the Whigsha have
any thing like strength sufficient to elect
their candidate, they have him before the
people, and why shall it not be so here :
Our opponents will tell us that it is owing
to the great strength of Mr.. Bocock. This
is not true. But, on the contrary, he has
failed to express the will of the people of
this district,upon the great questions which
settled the angry controversy between the
North and the South. He is not will
ling to give the administration Of Mr..
Fillmore that support and encouragement,
which is the solemn duty of every patriot
in the crisis which now hangs over the
government. And for these things every
Union man should raise his voice in con-
domination of his course, and give all of
his power in an honest effort to defeat his
election, and to send to the Congress of
the United States one that will stand up
boldly for the integrity of tho Union-that
will maintain the supremacy of the con-
stitution, and sustain an administration
which is fulfilling and executing all the re-
quirements that duty and sworn obligation
has enjoined.
We hope that Campbell will send dele
gates to the convention, and that forgetting
all failure hitherto, look solely to the ac-
complishment of the great purpose of re-
claiming the district, and placing the
Wing party-as a united effort most assur-
cdly will-in the majority.
Since the above was in type, notice for
meeting of the Wings on Monday, to
carry out this object, has been sent in.
which will be found in another column.
