~ "What is Happiness" asks the Louis

vile Courier, and then answers as follows:
"Happiness is Marriage 1" Cavil But
what is Marriage?" Perhaps no better def
milton of marriage was ever given by ayman
or preacher, than that it is ''the relief of a
natural necessity, and the first blessing from
the Lord" Women are essential to the ex-
istence and enjoyment of every human being
and no ladies in the world equal in lus-
trious beauty the girls of Kentucky"
The editor of the Courier has evidently
never crossed the State line into Tennessee.

The abors of the new Administration were
intruded upon, and theirreserve broken down,
to day, not by Caesar, with Senate at his
heels, but by Senators, with hungry constitu-
ents at their heels. The Administration
must for awhile, resign themselves to this
annoyance. The New Workers and the North
western men are more clamorous than any
Others of the pack of oflice-seekers. The
West complain that they have not due
share in the patronage of the Government, and
they are particularly jealous Of Virginia and
Maryland States that have, from local in
fuence enjoyed so much Of the larger as well
as of the smaller patronage. The salaries of
the seven hundred clerks of the departments
here, though small enough, are tempting to
many in the interior States. The West
claims share in them, and will probably OBJ
tain it. .........' .-..... .u "a.

o.. q CONGRESSIONAL CONVENTION. The time
agreed upon for holding the Wing Conven-

the Third District, is Friday the 9Th day Of
April, and the place Athens. We are not
advised that delegates have been appointed
from either Blount, Meigs, Bradley, or Polk,
and we would now suggest to our friends in
these counties to hold meetings on the Mon
day preceding the 9Th, and attend to it. All
ought to feel interest enough in the matter
to give it some little attention, and see that
each county is represented in the Convention.
We are not aware that there are any dSpt-
rants for the nomination, and we know the
wings of the District generally would be sat
isfed with any good and true man. But as
a Convention has been called, we deem it
important that all the counties should be
represented 1t is desirable that man
should be selected not only possessing abili-
ties and popularity, but acceptable to the
whole party in the district; and this can be
best effected by having representation from
each county, assembling in Convention and
consulting together, We hope our friends
