TAKE NEWSPAPER. Every family should have
newspaper. and at the present cheap rates at which
they are published, most families can afford to take
several. contemporary very justly observes take a
newspaper, and you do more to secure the morals of
your children, and prepare them for future usefulness,
with two three dollars than with five times that
amount bestowed in any other way. 1t is duty
which every father owes to his family and country to

sure that can say to my friend from North Carolina,
Mr. Strange in fraterna spirit that know would
be responded to by the democracy of the North, that
we can pledge to democratic brethren of the South
good faith, if they will pledge to cordial and CO.
operating confdence-if they will not hold back in
acqulescence In the compromises, and will rightly
discriminate between the fanatiea agitators of the
North, who may call themselves democrats. and the
sound democracy of the North, who regard this spi
rlt Of sectionalism in all it's forms disunion.
1t there is settled purpose at this time peIvading
the masses of the North, it is, in my judgment,
firm resolution to put end to slave agitation and
dsunon in Congress, and to discard from all demo-
cratic organizations this element of discord and
tionalisn. The North is weary of it, and pray
the South not to give seeming coHntenanee to its
revival by confounding acquiescenee in the eompro-
misses with any supposed sacrifice of State rights.
Gentlemen, these mere suggestions, which if
they are worth any thing, you in your wisdom and
eloquence, can enforce. and by community of feel
ing throughout Congress and the country, bring to
bear upon the great question now before US Of the
restoration of the democratic party to its natural and
true position at the head of the administration of af
fairs. through the insrumentay of the national prn
eples and the national candidates which the Baltimore
Convention will submit to the people.
Thanking you for your kind attention, l most
Pectfuy take my leave, and declare this meeting of
the Democratic National Committee dourned with

reaching from the clouds, their nearly touching
the earth, and far could be Judged at quarter
Of mile apart, travelling with immense velocity.
They passed over the island near Marsha. In their
progress houses were unroofed trees uprooted, men
and women horses cattle, and sheep raised up, drawn
into their vortex, and borne to distinctions during
their passage rain descended in accompanied
with ha-sones of enormous size and masses of ice.
Going over Castellamarre, Staba, it destroyed
half the town, and washed two hundred of the nhabi

BLESSED ARE THEY THAT MOURN.

BIZ WILLIAM C. BRYANT.
Oh! deem not they are blest alone
Whose lives peaceful tenor keep;
The power who pities man has shown
A blessing for the eyes that weep.
The light of smiles shall fill again.
The lids that overflow with tears;
And weary hours of woe and pain
Are promises of happy years.
There is day of sunny rest
For every dark and troubled night!
And grief may hide an evening guest,
But joy shall come with early light.
And thou, who DER thy friends low bier,
Shedfest the bitter drops like rain,
Hope, that brighter, happier sphere
Will give him to thy arms again.
Nor let the good mans trust depart,
Though life its common gifts deny,
Though pierced and broken be his heat,
And spurned of men, he goes to die.
For God has marked each sorrowing day..
And numbered every secret tear;
And heavens long age of bliss shall pay
For all its children suffer here.

MOVEMENT IN FAVOR OF New COUNTY. We
find in the Salem Peoples Press account of the
proceedings of meeting in the western part of
Stokes county, in favor of the division of that
ty, and the formation of out of parts of
Stokes and Sury. 1t seems from one of the resolu-
tons that this is in the counterpart of anoh
err which has for its object the formation of a new
county of parts of Ashe. Wilkes, and Surry Two
of the resolutions pledge the meeting TO lay aside all
party politics and support man for the next Leg
sature who is not an avowed advocate of the division
and subdivision movement, whether he be wing or
democrat. Warh is recommended suitable
location for the Court House of the new county.
