them zeal that will never rest contented
until the County and its offices, are Dem
ocratic-irretrievablv Democratic.
The issue has been forced upon Demo-
Gratis. The announcement has long since
been made by prominent wing in this
county, and published in the Spectator
that il should be a war TO the knife that
Democrats should be held IN as utter con-
tempt and disrepute as the filthiest beggar
who has ever staggered along our streets
aud that theil qualification for office should
be denied whenever a wing could be Sc
lected to fill the place. Such announces
ments have been made, AMI such feelngl
have been practieed, What is the duty oil
Democrats in SUCH, state of affairs! Must
they craveny submit to these vile imputa-
lions, and by silence acknowledge their
justice2 No. never. We do not be-
lieve there is single Democrat in the
county, whose spirit Is SO tmid and self
respect is so singular, as to permit the heel
Of the tyrant 10 rest upon his neck with
out struggling TO free himself. Let these
things be kept green in the memory, and
when the contest comes let it be known to
/ wings, that we haze rights, and dare main
tain them.

CHAPTER III.

Six long weary weeks to St. Aubrey had
now passed since the period of his incar-
ceraiion. The dreaded yet long expected
day had at length arrived; the day ap-
pointed for the yAssizes which was to de-
eide his fate. ca3 cd l'ie eaa.. ss.ll
A great excitement prevailed in the vii
lage. Most of the inhabitants were in.
clined. TO believe him innocent; Tor he had
always borne an irreproachable character.
The village lawyer, Who was warm
friend to ST. Aubrey, promised to make
every exertion TO clear him Of the foul i'm
putation. toe @
The time appointed for the trial at length
arrived, and ST. Aubrey, pale and bearing
the traces Of intense. mental agony upon
his brow. was placed al the bar, and plead
ed mot guilty. TO the charge Of murder,
| in a clear, firm voice.. All admired the
noble frmness OF bis look, and his ex-

When Mary Adair awoke from the
death. like swoon into which she had fallen,
she found herself reclining upon sofa

without being aware of where she was, or
how she came into such situation.
II is easily explained. Old Wolfstien
had carried Mary to his own house, where

country house. ere Mary awoke. placed

Having delivered this cheering intelli

more alone. She endeavored to partake
OF the refreshments that were spread be-

words had robbed her Of her appetite, and
caused her to feel sick at heart. Her head
felt giddy, and she sank upon the couch

+ q LIZ BLOND, Of Mercer, acquitted
himself respectfully and with more than
anticipated ability in his delicate nnd
responsible dufies as presiding oiiicer Of
the House, aud 1t. Goycrnot MYERS,
sustained his previous reputation as the
presiding officer Of the Senate, aud TO
both the thanks rendered were more than
a mere form.
AS a whole, We think, that under the
circumstances, the Legislature has mol
fallen below public expectation, and has
effected much good-that in personal
morals its members were more unexcep-
tionable than usuul-and that in the brict
time ila, il occupied il did all ;ha, could
reasonably be expected Of labor, and has
adjourned ill 1856, thus giving prac>
iical evidence of regard for the provision
OF the new Constitution requiring bien>
nial sessions. lis Legislation will soon
be laid before the people for judgment,
and they, we doubt moi, will form more
correct judgment than any oSe who has
been a particpaiol IN IFS labors.
