THE YOUNG MEN ARE WITH US.

friend writing US from Montgomery County,
GAYS. 81 understand Gen. Dockery says the cause
Wbiggery is dead for the next generation in North
Carolina, for nearly all the young men he meets
with about old enough to vote, are Democrats" This
true. We give the General credit for having hit
,be nail on the head one time at least politically.
The Young men of the country are with us, and we
are proud of the fact and hopeful and sangune be-
cause of it
We we'll remember the time when it was deemed
by many in the State, not merely questionable but
ungentee for young man of promise to avow him.
self Democrat. The power of the monied arlstoc-
rscy here, we know, and the influence of those who
considered themselves entitled to give tone to social
life, we're brought to bear against young men
who took ground for the Democrats, while those
who remained Wings or who became so, were petted
and advanced in life But this power and this in
Husnce are now either broken or disregarded, and
meanwhile Whiggery is becoming questionable.
The tables are being turned Shrewd and discern
ing men at length perceive that the people are on the
side Of the Democracy and their course is shaped &C
cordingly; and the young men, in the ardor and
fankness of their nature, crowding to the BAN

them most cordially and heartily. We honor them
for their fidelity to their first impulses, for their
sympathy with the masses, and for the assurance
thus gven and thus early given, of service and ben
eft to their country. Come on, young gentlemen
those Of you who have not quite made up your minds
come on and take position in our ranks. Ours is
the Republican party, not of to-day or of yesterday
but of old; it is the party in which effort is COM
mended, talent appreciated, and devotion to prnci-
pie rewarded. 1t is the party which has its founda-
tons and indeed its very existence in strict con-
ruction Of the federal constitution; and it must en-
dure and flourish as long the constitution itself
shall endure. Only qualify yourselves for public
employment, and the question will not be asked by
the Democracy where you came from, or what was
your orign-whether from the workshop, the corn
Held or the college. But qualify yourselres. No
hafeducaton, no habits of inattention or careless
ness no reliance upon others for chance aid or for
your opinions will be found suited to this age. Be
MEN, and the people will promote you. The times
require men Of high virtue, of inaexible will, of
S1udlous and laborious habits-men too unselish
and honest to resort to isms or side issues for ad

Personally, We have no. acquaintance with Mr..
Badger; nor do we suppose that he is apprized of
our existence. But judging the man from what 9th
ers say of him who enjoy his acquaintance he would
not turn upon his heel to be in out Of the Senate
in or out of public life. Hilton Chronicle.
The last sentence in the above paragraph would,
of ITSELF furnish proof conclusive that the Editor of
the Chronicle is not acquainted with Mr. Badger.
We we'll remember, when Mr.. Badger was first elect
ed to the Senate, what thick cloud of thankfuness
went up from the hearts of certain Whig subordin-
ates that he had condescended to accept the place;
but this gross attery, to use no stronger word was
understood then as now. Mr.. B. no doubt desired
seat in the Senate then and his service in that body
has not been of character to change this desire.
The Senate is high place, and may well excite the
loftiest and most vrtuous ambition. We blame
man for wishing to reach such place; and this talk
of Mr.. Badger "not turning upon his heel to be in
or out" of it, will not be believed by any of his
friends even, much less by those who do not know
him. ~ --. ..'- .. -,

WEDNESDAY. AUGUST 2, 1854.

ROMANTIC MARRIAGE. = A few evenings
ago. as the cars of the Carrolton railroad were
approaching the city, little girl about three
years old ran in front of the engine and stop
ped on the centre of the track. The brake
man attempted to stop the engine as soon as
the child was perceived, but on and on hur-
ried the iron monster, and just as it was about
to crush into the earth the beauteous victim
which thus so innocently braved its coming,
the strong hand of an athletic young man was
stretched forth, and at the hazard of another
life the child was saved.
Loud was the shout of applause from the
few who witnessed the daring deed, and in
triumph the young man bore the child away,
and delivered it to its mother. Any attempt
to describe mothers feelings on such an oc-
casion would be more than vain. She felt as
mother alone can feel, when the darling Of
her heart-her only child--is rescued from
the very jaws of death; and with an eloquence
which no words can convey, she looked and
spoke her thanks.
The mother was widow, young and fair
as the incarnation of a poets dream and
withal she was blessed with no little of this
world goods. Of course she was grateful to
the preserver Of her ehild's life, and as he was
poor, she offered to bestow on him goodly
largess He, however, refused to accept any
reward for what he considered to be his duty,
and so the matter for the time rested.
Since then an intimacy has sprung up be-
tween the young man and the grateful widow,
and the result was, that yesterday they went
together to Mobile, where the widows name
is at the Hymenial altar to be changed, and
the young man is to become not only the pro-
tector, but the step-father of the child he
saved.
May the joys of the twain increase, and
their days be many.-Ns,o Orleans True Delta,
July Is.

OLD TURKEYS BEST FOR BREEDERs.-
turkey breeder is not aware of it, but it is a
fact, that Of either sex, one old turkey is worth
two yearlings for rearing young ones. A tur
key does not arrive at its full growth and ma
tulty till the next fall after two years old, and
OF consequence, to its full strength and vigor
for breeding in the best possible manner. The
continual repetition of keeping young COB
blers and pullets for breeding, as some people
do, reduces the size of their young until thew
arrive at scarcely half the weight they should
do. Besides, the young of these immature
birds are exceedingly tender, and much more
difficult to raise than of old birds. We have
tried this thing thoroughly, and are convinced
OF the difference. Were we to choose our
birds for the best breeding, both cocks and
hens should not be less than three years old.
and then the cock should be from different
stock from the hens. We think turkeys
bear breeding from close affinities less success
fully than any other fowl-at least we have
toundit so-and we would never breed a cock
to hens which were closely related, if it could
be helped. Ag,9custurist.

SlMPLIoIrY.-Simplicity is an uprightness
OF soul that has no reference to self-it looks
straight onward in its path, losing no time
to contemplate the steps it has already taken.
This deliverance of the soul from all useless,
selfish, unquiet cares, brings it to peace and
freedom that are unspeakables; this is true
simplicity. 1t IS easy to perceive at the first
glance how glorious it is; but experience alone
can make us comprehend the enlargement of
heart that it produces. We are then like a
child in the arms of its parent; we wish moth
ing more; we fear nothing; we are not AK
ious about what others think of us; all our
motives are free, graceful and happy.

TRIPLES AND CoNsEQUENCEs.-If in the
world OF spi rits the consequence of every tri-
fling act of an individual shall be plainly visi-
BILE to him, how great will be the remorse of
those whose evil works and words are as nu-.
merous as the sands of the sea shore. Who
Is there that cannot trace back to the most tri-
fling incident or accident the cause of an en-
tire change in his whole life: Some have
been made immensely rich by the turning of
leather, their children educated, given infu-
ence, and perhaps charged with the destiny
OF nation while another has become poor in
consequence of some slight and almost imper-
ceptible incident. Poverty has brought on
disease or dissipation, and a yagabond's life OF
drunkards grave become his portion. Some
OF our richest and most influential merchants,
sons OF farmers-can trace their coming to
New York to the meeting of playfellow in
the street, or the running away of colt, or
perhaps, as in an instance we have heard of,
the breaking of bowl. Had these boys re-
manned at home and been farmers, how differ
ent would have been the situation of their
families. Their daughters instead offlaunting
IN silks in Broadway, and enjoying a seat at
the opera, might have been engaged in the
more worthy occupation of making butter and
cheese. Steamships that now form regular
lines to different quarters of the globe, and af-
iect the destiny of nations would not have
been built wars might have teen made or
avoided, as subsequent circumstances have
dictated.
Thirty years ago, two boys in New Hamp-
shire quarrelled about box of blacking. 70
| get rid of one of them, he was sent to New
York, and is now one of our first shipping
merchants, director in bank, and owner Of
a line of steamers. A dispute about tin
| dIpper with the steward of asteamboat, result
ed in law suit that cost a thousand dollars,
and laid the foundation of the fortune of one of
our millionaires, who now owns more tin Dip
pers and steamboats, than any other man IN
the world-once deck hand of boat, now
the captain of the ''upper ten.
