DIED, on the 18th Of April, at the residence
of her son James White of this District, MAR
TIA WHITE, in the TIth year Of her age.
The deceased was native of Ireland cmigra-
ting to this country when she was about % years
old She lived among us for very long life,
respected and beloved by all. She was truly
pious and exemplary member of the Baptist
church, and had been regular commitment for
90 years or more The last year Of her life was
devoted exclusively to the reading and studying
of the Bible Her bodily infrmities being SO
severe as to prevent her from attending TO do
mestic labors all her rthoughts and contcmplations
" ere raised toEards Heaven.
As a mother and mistress OF family, her con-
duet was without exception. and she has left
many worthy descendants to mourn her loss.

DIED, on the 9th April last, at the residence
of Major S,arkc. near Columbia, Mrs MARTHA
/. PEAY, wife Of Col. n. A. Peay, of Fairfield
District
1t is difficult to do justice to character like
Mrs. Pcay, without being charged with exaggcr-
alton; yet the voice of the community in which
she dwclt, and Of which she was so bright an or
namcnt, cannot withhold its mournfu, though
brief tribute to her excellence.
Nururcd in the most refined circles of society,
and married at an carly age wien splendor has
its highest attractions, she ever maintained o
beautiful simplicity in the exercise of an elegant
and widely extended hospitality, in the gentle
ministry of an unostentatious charity to the poor,
but especially in the quiet duties of home. In
untiring devotion to the happiness of husband
and children, her generous nature found ample
exercise for mind and heart. During the eleven
years of her married life, never once did an un-
kind word pass between her and her husband !:
and when we add to this the remark of one who
was long an intimate of the family, that she was
never known to speak harsh or unkind word 10
servant, it may well be said hers was truly
lovely spirit; nor was she wanting in firmncss
and energy Of character; these were manifest in
the systematic regularity of hr domestic ar
rangcmcnts, and in the judicious discipline Of
her children. In the character Of tender but
faithful mother earnest and praycrful in the rcli-
gious training Of her children, the writer knew
her best: and in this, few could claim higher
praise She trusted not alone to the instincts OF
mothers love, but sought anxiously by read
ing and by counsel with those who might in
strut. to know mothers duties and the surcst
modes of discharging them.
Such is brief outline of one who, with all that
love and friendship could throw around homo
and an extensive social circle, has passed away
we feel assured to holicr home and compan.
ionship Her life exhibited much Of the Chris
tian spirit. and her last days gave assurance OF
that faith which triunphs over death. Mrs. P
died in the 3lst year Of her age, leaving six
children.

II ,le,o DAILY Paper to be published in WasIi-
ington City, ID. G.
i THE UNDERSIG NED will shortly publish at the
l. seat Of the National Government a new daily
paper, as the organ OF the great UNION PATTY OF
The elements of national revolution, evolved
from the passions of mankind, always tend to fatal
examinations; but il is the prerogatve Of an en-
lightened public will to control them, and make
them subservien to wise and patriotic issues. Such
. elements now fearfully at work in the United
4 States, tending avowediy to revolution which
xevery patriot would deplore as the greatest calam-
q ity that could possibly befal this country. The ef
forts Of the UNION Party alone can avert that ca
lamity--the united efforts Of those who, nobly re
linqushing personal and old party considerations,
are determined to stand shoulder to shoulder Tor
b"Libsrty and the Union, noU and foreue, one and
tnsep0rGbie '.s sfat
The fires of American patriotism require to be
rekindled in the hearts of too many OF our coun-
trymen. Evil influences from abroad have found
their way amongst them, and smothered the
flames which ought never to subside in American
bosoms In one section Of the country an ignis-
fatuus has been held up light to better pros
perity in another, the moral sentiment has been
stimulated TO monomania, with the design Of ef-
fecting collision between the North and the South
and o dissolution OF the American Unlon Even
now, the missionaries of ruin, scenting blood from
afar; are lowering, like vultures, In the hope OF
conflict.
1tis high time, therefore; for patriotic Americans
Ior of both the old parties-to throw aside their
old trammes and divisions and to unite in one
greater party, for the salvation of the country: 1t
Is high time that they should wake from their false
security and look their real danger in the face TO
their true American character and resolve
with an energy never to be relaxed that no foreign
domestic foe shall stay the course of their coun
try p glorious destiny.
l ltlwill be the earnest purpose of 'rHE CoSsTITu
Nao' faithfully to represent the sentiments OF the
,5'Union party. It will recognise no man as Wing
or as Democrat; but every one as friend or a
foe TO the Union, the Constitution, and the laws;
and it will advocate those measures and only those
(which me Union party will sanction.
Withthe ,e principles and motives, "THE CoNsTi-
rurioN' will take the field "thrice armed" in the
s.slse of our common country-fully confident OF
success and of the liberal support OF an enlightened
and still independent people.
The first number will be published as soon as the
necessary mechanical arrangements shall be com
peted.
