PsEg'9 GeaRBER,
THE GRAND DIVISION BANNER,

The following Lines were written by a La
dy of this City, on viewing the BANNER of
the Grand Division of the Sons Of Temper
ance of North Carolina. It is a magnificent
specimen of Artistic skill, and was painted
by Miss SOPHIA PARTRIDGE, of Raleigh
which for richness of execution, beauty and
appositeness ofdesign, and elegance of adorn-
ment, is not surpassed, if equalled, by any
Of the many we have seen in the Northern
cities. The Poetical description below, will
give the reader some idea of the figures, &C.,
on the Banner:
LINES, suggested by viewing the N. C. State
Banner Of the Sons Of Temperance.
Beautiful design! life, thought, and feeling,
are impaired to thee, by the artists hand
Perceptions, natural, moral, and diUinc, eman-
ate from thee.
Lowly reclining on the verdant right,
A form most comedy, beautiful and fair,
Seems by her attitude, and eve so bright,
Anxious to succor from the direful snare.
Her name is LOVE, the attribute of God,
Her office is to seek the unfortunate and frail
And lead them from their dreary dark abode,
To hope, where peace and happiness prevail.
Next, on the left, stands PURITY serene,
Lovely beyond compare, with smile so sweet
She, like an angel, draws her azure screen
Impurity, falls PROSTATE at her feet.
Pure rs the FOUNTAIN that so near her plays
Her words, her actions, and her thoughts, art
pure
She seeks the promise of the sacred lays,
That she g shall see her Makers face" mad,
sure.
The lovely 'FIDEL,' is seen kHeeling near,
The DOVE for refuge, to her bosom has flown
Safely protected by that hand so dear,
From wiles and snares, so oft around he
thrown.
Back in the view we see the THOUSAND ISLE
Which dot the outlet Of ONTARIO course,
Fitting and dancing in their native wilds,
Washed by the waters Of NIAGARA's sourc,
High on the left the dark po~rtentous CLoU
Fringed with the broad refulgentray of LigL
Prophetic speaks in thunder tones full lou
Dispense your darkness, for OUR MOTTO
BRIGHT.
Go on, blest Order! your CHARTS from
high,
Preach, plead, %entreat, and succor when y
can,
Unfurl your BANNER, higher let it fly,
Till world on world, your charity can spar
Mission of mercy, sent from God alone,
To sinful, fallen, poor degraded man,
Thou'rt handmade to the Gospel of his So
To raise, and cheer the heart and visage w

CO The Speaker Of the House of Representa-
tiyes, yesterday, ruled point of order, from
which an appeal was taken by Mr.. Butler Of Lo-
well. A long debate ensued occupying the whole
ofthe session, except the briefperod devoted to
the morning business, in which the ruling was
shown to be in opposition, not only to all former
practice, but to common sense, 50 clearly that the
appeal coas sustained and the decision reversed,
by majority of nineteen This is a most point
ed and severe rebuke to the Speaker. We have
never, personally, known Speakers ruling re-
versed. Indeed, the disposition is always so strong
TO sustain the auth )ri.y Of the Speaker that even
those who think him wrong are always very I'M
willing to make or sustain an appeal, unless the
case is very strong one. We suppose this was
aparty movement, to give certain party measures
the precedence over the business regularly in
course.
