HIWASSEE COLLEGE
nind Tho 09h Enhrnnru 1870 / Z PArr


Died, the 23d February, 1852, J. E. PATTON,
at lis parents residence, on Sweetwater. How
often do we hear it said Tomorrow we will
dol" but tomorrow is not ours. To-day may
break the slender thread which binds frail
nan to the wheel of Fate. Death is certain,
whilst tomorrow is doubtful. The man who
looks for future time is like the child pursu-
ing its shadow which ever though attached
us tast- lees before Il. The stu4snt lessks
forward to fhe day when he shall leave his
stujv-room af1 launch his bark of fortune
upol the turbulent stream of public business
But often Just after he has entered a lethfer
Gus wave submerges his feeble gondola and
sweeps him from its deck, hiding him forever
from the vain hustle of the world. Such has
been the sad destiny of beloved member Of
the Eromathesian Society When the name
Jno. E. Patton is called no enswer is given,
except by the oaken branches as they wave
over his corse moaning to the western blast.
The voice which once did answer to that name
is hushed in death, and the active and manly
limbs which the mention Of it excited TO ac-
ton are stilled in the grave. Though some
years have passed since he quilted Hiwassee
College and consequently the Eromathesian
Hall, yet he is not forgotten, nor will he be
whilst his name can be found upon our cata-
logue. When alive he loved what we now
love, and thus loving the same thing, we were
aifectionate friends to one another, and as it
is natural, mourn his early death. While
connected with our Society he maintained his
position with honor. He was firm and de-
voted friend. He seemed to know the worth
of genuine friend and modelled his attach
ments accordingly. lie was beloved by all
who knew him, and respected by all who saw.
Although we deeply lament his loss, yet we
humbly submit to the dispensations of an All
wise Providence as being just beyond the con-
ceptiOns of finite mortals
Resolved, That we sincerely sympathize with
the parents and friends of the deceased in the
irreparable loss they in common with us have
sustained.
ReSolved, That the members of the Eroma-
thesian Society wear the usual badge Of
mourning tor thirty days.
RESOLVED, That the Secretary furnish copy

ceased, and also to the Athens Post for publ

THE WHIGs OF New YORK CITY. The
New York Mirror, speaking of the various
. wing meetings held by the friends of MIR.
Fillmore, Mr.. Webster, and Gen. Scott, in
that city, and of the earnestness and enthu-
siasm by which they are characterised, says;
Though the Wing party is, and we trust
long will he, on sound Union and Compro-
mise platform, one and indivisible, it has at
the present time every appearance OF being
triple or triangle party, having three sides
aud heads, each more or less bold and stub
born according tOits relative strength. There
are the Fillmore Wings, the Webster Wings
and the Scott Wings, each, in this city, with
their separate headquarters, committees, or
CARNATIONS, presses, orators and plpe-layers.
Each hold meetings as though the Others
were not in existence.
There is but slight difference, however,
between two sides Of the triangle = the Fill
more and the Webster Wings. Both stand
on the same platform, and work to the same
end, and the gain of either is the gain of both.
The Fillmore and Webster Wings have n
large majority in the General Committees,
and among the mercantile and working Wings
of the city. They hoist their banner fearless
ly, and hold their meetings openly, alike en-
dorsing the Compromise. The Scott Wings
are more under ground at present. They
keep their programme secret, hold meetings
with closed doors, and keep "mum" on the
Compromise. Their Central Committee, Ro-
bert II. Halves, Chairman, had secret ses-
sion last night, ut the Florence Hotel, corner
of Broadway and Walker ST., and we learn,
their meetings will be secret until after the
election of delegates to the National Con-
vention, when they contemplate great Scott
demonstration.
Looking at the signs of the times carefully
we have little doubt that Gen. SCOTS friends,
in spite of Mr.. Greely's declaration to the
contrary, will advise him to step up, and stand
up square to the Compromise as fnaIity.-
This being done, the Wing party is in unity
so far as principles are concerned, and will go
single handed into the fight, to elect whoever
shall be nominated by the Convention. -
Meanwhile activity is the necessity and watch
word of the three sides of the Wing Trian-
gle. Fillmore Wings are cheercd by increas-
ing evidences of his strength and popularity,
especially in this State. Daniel Webster,
visiting New England, is received with un-
wontcd enthusiasm and honors. The Scott
men, too, are sanguine TIL s is all right
Let the Wings prepare their armor under Sc
parate chiefs if they please, but be ready for
the common battle when it comes We do
not expect unity this side the National Con-
vention.

"A ROLAND FOR AN OLIvER."-The Pc
1ersburg (Va.) Intelligcncer asks -"Where
will the seccdcrs from the Wing Caucus go,
if they don't join the democratic party" The
New York Express retorts with crushing
power and effect, as follows
How much better off would they be there!
Ara the Northern and Southern Democracy a
unit, pray, upon the issue made in the Wing
Caucus, the issue which led to the secession
of Messrs. Marshall, Gentry and Others! is
there no Free Soil in New York, in Ohio, in
all New England! Look at the Massachusetts,
wing of the party. the Chairman OF its Cen
trail Committee, Mr.. Benjamin f. Hallet, only
the other day, getting up and giving endorse
ment to such declarations as this:
Resolped, That zoe are opposed 10 sLarery IN
anu form and color, and in favor of FREEDOM
and FREE Soil, wherever man lives through
out Gods heritage"
Virginia Democracy sees double when "Se-
wardism" comes in its way, but it is prone to
a wonderful oblquity of vision, when Free
Soil Loco Focoism, like this, stalks across
its path Yet it is into such company that
the Virginia Editor invites those Wing men,
bers who left or refused 10 attend the " hig
Caucus If there is Abolition in their own
family, how much more is there, with the
Cievclands, the Townscnds, the Chascs, the
Van Burens, the Preston Kings, and the RAN
fouls who make up the leadership Of the
Northern Democracy!
There are some people in the world who
seek to forget their own griefs in contemplate
ing the miseries of their neighbors. 1t is a
moor consolation at best, and one that never
lasts long, as in this particular case, we think
the Southern Democracy will ere long dis
cover.
Alas for the "antecodents" Of Mr. Ilallet,

The following prophecy is from rare old
printed book:
When Legislators bold invade
The laws which they themselves have made
When the parson 'gainst the Bible breaches,
And modest virgins wear the breeches;
When women scorn domestic cares
And bold intrude on mems affairs,
Aspiring with mistaken pride
The war-horse of the world to ride,
Then will wild chaos come again,
And Eve with her old serpent reign,
A second time will pay the price
OF wit, lost by Paradise.
The world, tail foremost, will advance,
Like freedom in degenerate France;
BY going backwards will come right,
And men grow blind by too much light.
