Reunion OF the Democracy.

Certain resolutions recently adopted at Dem
ocratic meeting held in Greenyille, South Caro-
lima, are commented upon by the Charleston
Mercury, which says:
1T will be observed that one Of them reioices
over the reunion of the Democratic party Now,
this reunion, so far as tits real is anal algamaon
of the Union or Compromise, the Southern Rights
and the Freesoil parties, and all Of them pro-
Tossing to have given up principle. 1t is quite
clear, then, that the object of that union is moth
ing but party success in the approaching election,
and that the South must share it (if indeed the
South is not cheated Of all share) with the Free
soilers"
The definition of that heterogeneous aggregate
which styles itgelf the Democratic party seems to
be as applicable now as when it was given by Mr..
Calhoun, who spoke Of it az party held together
by " the cohesive power of public plunder."
Some gentlemen of the Southern Rights party do
indeed claim the nomination OF Pierce as their
own work-a claim which the Van Buren, wing Of
the party will not to question, since the dis
ciples of tha. school are quite willing to allow all
such pretensions, provided they may thereby in
crease their chances of sharing more largely IN
the more substantial compensation which pnrty
victory if obtained, might place at the disposal
Of the official dispensers of the spoilg. The eu6-
picion which the Mercury intimateg, that the
South may be cheated ultimately, i'll the event of
Perce's election, is very natural under the cir
cumatancea Bali. 4n,ericun

From the Friend of Youth
A Lesson from the Rain Drops.
BY HANNAH LLOYD

BY HANNAH LLOYD.
little boy stood at his mothers door
One windy and boisterous day;
The rain in torrents down did pour,
And he could not 60 out 70 play
So he watched the trickling rain drops fall,
Al they splashod against tho garden wall.
lie grumblod, and pouted, and thought it was hard
That shower should como just then
He moant to fly his kite in the yard,
He said, with his Cousin Bon
And now, instead, no would have to stay
And nope in the house the livelong day.
SO he hung about near the window seat
just as cross as cross could be-,
But after while he went to sleep
And wonderful dream had he
When he awoke again, weon,
pleasanter boy could not be seen
He dreamed that he owned largo old farm,
Had horses and COWS to feed
That he'd planted some oats to store in his barn,
And sprinkled somo clover seed.
And he thought he was growing to DO quito old
Was tall and manly, and stout and bold
For his oats to ripen fast
Tho corn he weeded again and again,
In hopes it would grow at last,
While his clover dropped its empty head,
And his barley was witherod and almost dead.
Then sadly he turned to his old farm door,
And he sighed while he said, All, me,
wish it would rain, and wish it would pour,
But nevor cloud do I Gee,
The thirsty ground is so hard and dry,
Tho grain have planted must surely die
But he seemed to hear some one who whispered low
Il hope it won't shower to night,
I only care for nayseJ you know,
And mean to fly my kite
Then he changed to q little boy again,
And awoke while it still was puttering rain.
He looked around, and then springins UP,
He opened again the door;
Each flower held up its tiny cup
And the Earth, though drinking the rain drops up
Still seemed to b. asking for more,
He was very glad nc had slept and dreamed
For he felt how selfish he must have seemed.
To think alous of his trifing play,
When the earth was so thirsty and dry
And because he must stay in the house all day,
To wish for cloudless sky.
He was happy now, nor forgot agun
The Lesson taught by tho falling rain.

Duty OF the Wings.
The New York Exprsss says.

Henry Clay's friends, four years ago, felt az
indignant as Mr.. Webster's friends now feel.
They held their rejection meetings in VauxhaE
Garden, in ward meetings, in the city and in the
country They appealed to Mr. Clay to lead
them on against their party And he refused,
as we feel sure Mr. Webster will yet refuse, to
stand at the head of any but the true Whig col
umn.
Before the Convention, april TO- l849,) Mr..
Clay wrote:
!" 1 have" said he, finally decided to leave
to the National Convention which s to assemble
next June, the consideration of my name in con-
nexion with such others AZ may be presented to
it, to make selection of suitable candidate for
the Presidency of the United States and what-
eper may be the issue Of u.s. ta' and uH detiberaton
,eW meet my prompt and checFfM Qcquissccnce"
Notwitbs landing this, Mr. Clays friends would
not let him go. 1t became, therefore, necessary
for him to speak for himself, and accordingly he
addressed the following letter, in the midst Of
the canvass, to one Of the editors of the Express
"AsHLANp, Sept, 8, 1913,
Il have given, and shall give, no countenance
or encouragement to any movement to bring my
name as candidate for that office (the rresi-
dent) before the public. 49,.
''On one point desire no secrecy;
and that is, that am utterly opposed to the use
of my name as candidate for the Presidency.
II am truly your friend and obedieut servant
oh CLAY"

Gem. WINFIELD scott.

When We cast our eyes over the pages OF Amer
lean history, in almost every chapter of which,
for the last twenty years, the name Of Scott may
be found, we can easily find elew to the gener-
ous feeling that now prevails in his favor The
people of this country arc just and patriotic, and
they will not fail when the opportunity offers, as
it now does, to reward one who " has filed the
measure OF his counrys glory" No living man
bas done 50 much for the fame and glory of
America a. Gen Scott, and none better deserves
the highest honor the people can bestow. ills
brilliant achievements during the Mexican war
made the name Of our republic known and re-
spected among the nations of the earth il a de-
gree far beyond all previous time and the tro-
phies he won in that wonderful campaign were
not Less the result of his prowess and kill in
battle than OF his gentleness and humanity after
the field was won.
Xenophon, thousands Of years ago, earned i'm
mortality by retreatiny with ten thousand men
from the heart of an enemy'g country. Scott
marched INTO an enemy country, through the key
OF what was believed and pronounced by others
to be an "impregnabe Fortress" and planted
the stars aud stripes on its conquered capitol
with less than ten thousand men
Let any unbiased mind real the history Of the
Mexican war, and it will then see the true char
actcr of the great captain whom We now delight
to honor Calm prudent wise, and humane in
all his actions, he exhibits not only the quail.
ties which make great general, but those which
fit him to be g great statesman: and such we
have No doubt, he will prove himself to be, if
elected TO the Presidency

APPROACHING END or IHE Session The joint
resolution which some time ago passed the House
of Representatives, fixing the day for the ad-
iournment Of Congress, was taken up in the Sen
ate. and amended 50 as 10 f. on the Slst of the
next month for bringing to close the present
session Of Congress The resolution, being re-
turned to the House Of Representatives for con-
currence in the amendment, is still before that
bod, 1t is understood that the precise day will
be changed by the House to the 30th of August
which will fall on Monday FIVE weeks hence.
The reason Of fixing upon Monday for the
final close s, that the vacation Of Sunday affords
the officers OF the two houses the opportunity Of
finishing their share of the work which is always
thrown into the last business day of the session,
aud Of correcting or guarding against errors or
omissions such as are occasionally discovered too
late, after Congress has dispersed, -Iatel!tgTeer'
