interference by northern fanaticissn with

Union has cause of ccngratula tion at the
overthrow and signal rebuke the abolition
party has received within the last two
wears. The friends of constitutional and
State rights, even in the north, have ge-
Morally been triumphantly sRsained.-
Our northern brethren, among whom
there have always been a few who were
true TO the constitution, have indicated a
disposition to respect our rights, and evin-
ced a sense of Justice which should ever
characterize the relations between citizens
of sister States. Madness for a while
seemed to run riot, and when fanaticism
had brought the republic TO the verge OF
ruin, patriotism was aroused. reason and
Justice gained the ascendant, and the trail

we are marching to fulfill that destiny
which has assigned to US the position Of
the greatest nation upon earth May this
ever be our condition.
With becoming gratitude for the past
fayors we have received, both as a people
and nation, let US as such SO discharge
our duty to ourselves and others, as not
only to receive the approval Of our. own
consciences, but to secure the continued
blessings of that providence which has so
manifestly watched over our footsteps from
the infancy of our republs, and in whose
hands are the destinies of all nations,

IMPRoyEMENT.-Ever since We have
been citizen of CIarksburg, we have
heard a great deal of talR about paving
the streets of the town but. alas there
has been .'more talk than cider" Our
''city fathers laid a.tax aid then quit;
wearied. we suppose. by the vast wear
and tear of the cxertion. There has,
however, thanks TO some of our public
spirited citizens, been something done in
this line, on private account. R. Dospard
has made very decided improvement in
the pavement in front Of "Despard's
Row, and Mr. N. Dent has done no less
for pedestrians in-front of his hotel, and
has even extended his labors beyond his
own property. We sincerely hope that
this good example may be followed by
Others. until our men will not have to weRr
their pantaloOns inside of their boots, or
our ladies lift their clothes immoacslly
high, in navigating the streets.
