In paper of the 29th Dec. last, was an edito-
rial, in which We authoritively' corrected certain
parts OF previous article respecting Mr.. RayEeI
remarks in the Wing caucus, at which his name was
withdrawn from the nomination for United States
Senator.
Public opinion having indicated several gen,lemen
as the probable objects of remark in the latter part
OF that authorized statement, Chat "those who had
hunted him Mr.. Rayner with personal malignity
unparalleled. should yet feel him, if life lasted
are'requested by one of these gentlemen to say:
" That waving any inquiry into the proprety of
Nir. Rayners conduct. in thus announcing his high

particular persons. by The comments speculaIons
OF common rumor, instead Of plainly stating by whom
he felt agrieved, and for whom he meant his heavy
vengeance in some future and perhaps distant period
measured by the length of his life, this gentleman,
VINO believes himself TO be one of those intended, as
sures Mr. hay ner, that If he will, in any aulhor
tive form, intimate. that his remark intended 10
include him, he stands ready to he felt by AIR. Raw
ner, and will at once afford him opportunity to
execute his threat in any man which Mr.. Rayner
may select. without leaving him the necessity of
nursing his wrath. through life time of uneasy and
uncertain sPecnations Of coming vengeance
And we are further authorized and requested to say
- That upon such intimalion being given by Mr..
Rayner, this gentleman will also promptly offer to
the public the most full and satisfactory reasons-fuII
and satisfactory even to Mr.. Rayner's personal
trends-tor the most decided and uncompromising
station of a Senator in Congress; that the name of

is left with the Editor OF the Register. give the

remark, the gentleman, whose statement is herewith
given, Will inter- as he supposes the public will draw,

Eg- The Washington Republic takes the fol-
lowing notice of the recent calamity which befel
the President elect:
50 1t was with the sincerest sympathy and sorrow
that we received yesterday the bret despatch in
forming US of the bereavement that had betallen
FRANKLIN PIERCE and his esIimable wife. In mo
ment their only boy-the last surviving of their chill
dren-has been snatched from them by violent and
shocking death. In the natural eatIon Of his new
nonors, the PRESIDENT ELE of this great Republic
has been stricken with blow so heavy and grleVous
para we his future and render him indifferent
to its power and fame. As he bends The remains
of his beloved child how insgnifi cant must appear
in his eyes all the baubIes and bubbles of official lie,
and how gladly would he abandon them all. and how
JOY fully become the plain, simple citizen again, if by
so doing he could restore and animate that mutilaed
form
Such is the ordinary providence of God. Unmlxed
felicity falls to the lot Of no man. The good and
evil IT life distributed with more even-handed
equity the querulous willing admit, the
unrefecIing able TO understand. Honors are thrust
upon him whose heart is breaking with the grief of
domestic bereavemen,s. The helpless and hopeless
invalid rolls in riches which he would part with TO
the last farming for the frame and beautiful
ergies of neghbor who depends for his daily bread
on his daily toll. All seeming prosperity has its al
loy-ali seeming misfortune lis alleviations.
May God temper the sufferers the pain and grief
Of this ireparable loss. The heart of nation throbs
in sympathy with theirs, and with theirs the tears of
nation mIngIe the ashes of the beloved and
lost. Though the that is shared is not dImn
ished, the bereaved parents may find solace In
the reflection that whole people are fellow monrners
with them over the sad event that has made their
household desoate."

COME TO ME IN DREAMS.

BY GEoRGE D. PRENTICE.
Come in beautiful dreams, love,
Oh come to me oft,
When the light wing of Sleep
On my bosom lays soft;
Oh come when the sea,
In the moons gentle light,
Beats low on the ear
Like the pulse of the night
When the sky and the wave
Wear their loveliest blue,
When the dcw's on the flower
And the star on the dew.
Come in beautiful dreams, love,
Oh come and we'll stray,
Where the whole year is crowned
With the blossoms of May
Where each sound is as sweet
As the COO of the dove,
And the gales are soft
As the breatbings of love
Where the beams kiss the waves,
And the waves kiss the beach,
And ouI warm lips may catch
The sweet lessons they teach.
Come in beautiful dreams, love,
Oh! come and We'll fly
Like two winged spirits
OF love through the sky;
With hand claspd in hand
On our dream wings we'U go,
Where the starlight and moonlight
Are blending their glow;
And on bright clouds we'll linger
Ofpurple and gold,
Till loves angels envy
The bliss they behold.

MEssRs. STRANGE AND DoBBIN.

We copy the following from the last Fayetteville
Carolinian, and in doing so take occasion to say
that we occur entirely with that journal in the
views and sentiments expressed:
"It will be seen that the name of the Hon. James
G. Dobbin is spoken of in connexion with the Navy
Department under the incoming Administration. Ii
the purpose of selecting the Cabinet from various
lions of the Union be to accommodate the different
interests Of the country, to givo to the public the
vices of able and vrtuous men, and to the admins
traton itself the counsel of enlightened and sagacous
minds, no appointment could be made by the Pres-
dent elect happy and fortunate than that of MI
Dobbin. His standing in the Democratic party both
in and out of the State is too we'll known need a
remark from His position and services in the
Baltimore Convention, and his after devotion to the
nominees of that Convention, at the head of the EIec
toral ticket in this State, also well known in the
country. The deep concern shown out of the State,
during the tendency of our late Senatorial struggle,
was owing in great degree to his being the nominee
of the party His selection Cabinet Officer
would be felt and appreciated just compliment
10 North Carolina.
Our distinguished fellow citizen, the Hon. Robert
Strange, has been spoken of for the Office of Atto-
ney General Office for which man of the De-
mocratic party in this State is better fitted by his
learning, his industry and his talents. We shall be
proud to either of these gentlemen connected
with the Cabinet -

TRUE AS STEEL.

We make the following extract from the late
Message of Gov. Biger to the Legislature of Penn
sylvania
Recent difficulties in a neghboring State have
suggested the existence of deficiency in our State
laws, in reference the conveyance of persons held
to involuntary servtude from one State to another
The Pennsylvania Statute of 1880 gave all persons
passing through soouEnng in the State for brIef
period the right hold their domestic slaves. The
of 947 eaed this provision, and the repeating
sections of last session did reinsale it. l. there
FORE IesPecttI lily recommend that provision be made
for the transit OF these domestcs through the limits
Of this Commonwealth. Such a law seems TO be con-
tempated by the Constitution of the United States,
and to be suggested by those rules of comfy which
should exist between the Stateaby the public peace
and by individual convenience"

promises of the Constitution, and Gov. Bigler is a
noble representative of her principles and feelings
