death of Hon. Presley Ewing, late representa-
tive from the State of kentucky Although promi-

cordially devoted through life to its principles he
had none of that party prejudice q relentless ran

trend and political toe ON the contrary by his high
manly bearing.his chivalrous sentiments. aud his
courteous manners he endeared himself to all with
whom he associated. While these generous quail

best. his brilliant talents, his high position and his
moral worth received the esteem and respect of
all.

on the Nebraska bill. on which he expresses him

judith Allen, aged one year and ! | days.
Dear Roberta Thou hast left us,
Here we breathe our last farewell,
Who can tell the grief and anguish,
That within our bosoms swell
Dearest Babe Thy hands are folded,
Motionlcss upon thy breast
And thy eyes closed forever,
In a peaceful, quiet rest
Thou art gone! In bitter sorrow,
Our farewell we whisper low,
With what sad and mournful spirits,
Thou canst never, never know.

great Southern party. which will advocate South
ern resistance 10 the Abolition encroachmcnis "i
the North. and Southern independence. The
Democratic party of the south will be slow sgaln
to take the lead in such a controversy. They
are distrnstful of the Southern Wings who aban
doned them in the Secession contest of lr5O. aud
they have at the North, the only portion of the

They probably control the National Conren

Democratic party for the Presidency, and the
offices and hnnurs of thu General Government
will appear sill open Ia their acquisition or CON
troll. They have far stronger ties, therefore, TO
bind them Ia the National Party organization,
than the southern Wings. They will fail, it may
be- in carrying their candidate into the Presidrn
tial Chair but This will not be the opinion Of the
party, and they will strive 10 hold together at
least through the next Preside ltiaI election. IT,
however, the Southern Wings organize separate

the next Presidential election will leave them at

not patronise Virginia Importers manufacturers,

can do it without prejudice TO their interests l.
So long as these important interest permitted
to droop in our midst, long will an influence
be exerted, that will greatly tend TO retard the
spirit of progress and Improvement that Inns bccu

being bestowed upon others, who have 40 long
