DIED-Near Clarington, on the 10th
inst, OF Laryngitis, JOHN. son Of MIN.
rod A. and Mary Ann Martin, aged
years.
"Resting now in sweet repose,
Is laid a mothers dearest pride;
A flower that scarce had walked to life,
And light, and beauty, ere it died.
God. in his wisdom, has recalled,
The precious boon his love had given;
And though the casket mouders here,
The gem is sparkling now in Heaven"
In this this place, on the 18th inst.
CYNTHIA H., daughter of D. H. and NJ.
Wire, aged S years, month and 22 days.
The deceased had also the scarlet fever
when her sister died, about two weeks ago;
and at that time expressed a strong desire
to die; and for time, even refused nour.
ishment for fear she might get we'll. Sub.
|sequently she so far recovered, that she
was thought out of danger; but was taken
worse on the 18th, and thus unexpectedly
and hastily passed away to her desired
rest. II is said, that about ten minutes
before she died, she prayed for the Lord
to take her home. Her mother inquired il
she would not rather stay with her? Her
answer was that she wished to go to the
good world.
May the Lord sustain this afflicted fami.
ly by grace divine; and bring them finally
to that rest where their beloved CYNTHIA
and ELIZABETH have so recently gone.

was considered that those article. of con.

was considered that those articles Of con.
federation were not sufficiently strong 10
guard interests so sacred and the lovers
Of union and good order deemed il neces.
sary to form more perfect union, and for
that purpose adopted our Federal Consti.
tuition, and engrafted in it the principles
for which the battles Of the revolution were
fought.
Every petty class-dissension,
Heal it up as quick as thought,
Every pal,ry place pretensien.
Crush it as thing of naught!
Let no narrow private treason
Your great onward progress bar,
But remain, in right and reason,
Sister states, as now ye are!''
This leads me to the consideration OF
another party which has sprung up in con-
nection with the one just mentioned, and
which is the secret ally Of the former.
This latter party has assumed the signifi-
cant name of "Know Nothings." They
hold their-secret meetings in the night time.
and make it their boast that they gull their
thousands, and have in every instance de-
feated the democratic party. The avowed
object of this latter party is to put down
foreigners. &c. The secret object is to
put down the democracy.
Let US compare the principles of this
party with those that actuated Franklin,
Jefferson, and all the patriots OF the revo.
luton. One of the causes assigned in the
Declaration Of Independence, for dissolv.
ing the political bands which connected
them to the mother country, was, that the
King obstructed "the laws Of naturaliza-
.ion Of foreigners. refusing to pass others
to encourage their migration hither. and
raising the condition of new appropria-
tons of land" The trainers OF the con.
s,itution. in accordance with their declara-
,ion, engrafted clause in that instrument
granting TO strangers the privilege of ci,i.
zenship on easy terms. And thus invited
them to our shores, and boasted that this
country was the asylum for the oppressed
of every land. Shall we give the lie TO all
this, and return TO the doctrine of King
George?
Mr.. Editor. have not time to pursue
the subject further at this time. will take
more time in my next.
