Like fragrant little blossoms
Whose petals daily ope.
Frank says he's mothers rosebud, ..
And little brother Willy,
With skin like alabaster,
Is my budding water lily:

For like music to my ear,
Are their merry little voices,
So silvery and clear.
What dew is to the flowers,
The rainbow to the sky,
Are these children to my pathway,
Which they cheer and beautify.
They fill my heart with gladness,
With thankfulness and praise,
They chase away my sadness,
And leave no gloomy days.
Though many other blessings
Around my footsteps fall,
My children and their father
Are chief among them all.
My life seems crowned with joys
Whene'er look them,
And they the brightest jewels
Within the diadcm
Then blessings my darlings,
Bright blessings from above,
God grant their tender hoyhood
Miss not a mothers love.
Oh may my days be heightened
Throughout their early youth,
To lead them in the pathway
OF Honor and Of Truth.
God grant to me His spirit,
To guide their souls Alright,
To teach them by example,
To walk in his sight. "
And when this life is ended,
May all whom He has given,
United, form family

The name Of Col. David Outlaw has been spoken of
in connection with the wing nomination for the next
gubernatoral chair. 1t is than likely that John
Kerr Esq, will be the candidate, and if so, there is
use in introducing the names of other gentlemen
this late day, in connection with the matter. But
should Mr.. Kerr decline the nomination, we know of
no one, who would make stronger run than Col.
Outlaw-he would certainly poll the entire strength
of his party in the East.
But lay party aside, and we have no great obiec-
ton TO Governor Reid; we believe he makes good
officer, and the people will fare well under his adj
minisration they would under the administration
of any body else. He is in favor of the re-opening
of Nag's Head Inlet, and is liberal in dealing out
justice to all sections any other politician would
be. If we have occasion to speak of public SER
want, it is our duty to do him justice, and believe
that there are many worse men than David S. Reid.
We speak of him an individual, and party.
Party has become corrupt and the rights of the people
assaiIed, and their interests infinged upon by party
political demagogues in all quarters, and the people
must keep more watchful eye upon them, in order
TO move on in harmony and prosperity.

The Wing press are circulating report stating
that General Quitman supports Scott for the
Presidency This tale is fabrication Of The enemy,
totally devoid Of truth.-Penmsyluania
The untruth is to be found in the Democratic
version of Wing report, not in The report as
circulated through Wing channels.
1t has not been asserted by any Wing jour
nal that General QUITMAN supports General
SCOTT, in the sense which the Pennsylvamian
chooses to adopt. But it is asserted withou,
contradiction that General QuIrMAN, while
supporting PIERCE, has done justice to the
ability and character of General SCOTT, and to
his fidelity to the Constitution and the country
on the exciting question which has of late
agtated it.
We repeat the opinion expressed by the
Southern Rights Democrat in relation to the
Wing candidate. Let the Pennsylvanian deny
the accuracy of this report if it can:
"I know the man, and he will be controlled by
no one contrary to his own convictions of what il
right And as to his being true to the South,
consider him the most uncxceptionable man, on
that score, among all the Wings who have been
named in onnexion with the Presidency. am q
Democrat, and consequently differing widely, as
do. from General Scott, on every political question
can never give him my support; but if there is a
Wing in the Union for whom, under any circum
stances, would cast my vote for President, tina,
Wing is Winfield Scott"

Facing the Difficulty,

The Louisville Democrat escapes the tribu-
lation which the PIERCE developments inflict
upon less courageous and straightforward jour
nails of the same faith. Wisely considering
that tho people are too shrewd to receive ge-
neral denials from tainted quarters as answers
to specific charges, and that paper only in
jures its own character when it tries to cover
facts with huge load Of abuse, the Demo
crat faces the difficulty to learn its real charac
ter, and then falls PROSTATE that it may pass
over on its course. Thus, while the Union is
exhausting the dictionary in its search after
epithets, to be bestowed upon the alleged de.
famers of General Pierce, the Democrat
quietly admits the whole case against him
and then philosophically argues that good De-
mocrats are bound to cast PIERCE votes, whe
Their PIERCE be sound or not. The Louisville
Jo,una! epitomizes its neighbours views as fol-
lows:
"The editors of the Democrat. be it remembered
say that il makes no difference at all if the reports
of General Porce's anti slavery speech by the two
Democratic papers in New Hampshire is true
They say that it is none of the South's business
Slave law. They say that the South has no manner
Of right to object to voting for him on account OF
his proclaiming that slavery is a moral blot upon
the character of the nation that he abhors it, that
his heart revolts at it, that the Fugitive Slave law
is violation of humanity and moral right. that he
oathes it, and that his feelings shocked at the
giving up of a slave.
eyes, let it be remembered that it is the deliber-
ately uttered sentiment Of the editors Of the Demo
cret, that, even though General Pierce be proved
beyond all contradiction and all possibility OF
doubt, to entertain and to have publicly expressed
such views and feelings in regard to slavery and
the Fugitive Slave law. the fact ought not TO have
the slightest effect upon the vote # the South SO
long as General Pierce stands pledged to the Bati
more platform"
The argument will not be satisfactory ex-
cept to those who regard lealty to faction as the
paramount iteE. in the range of duties; but II
avoids infinite trouble, and is quite as conclu-
sive as that furnished by and through the
Union.
