4, DIED. sot onsumption, on the 18th inst, at
ner residence, near the town of Buck hannon, Mrs.
MARIETTA, consort of Mr., Marshall Lorentz
In the 3Sth year of her age, leaving an affec
ate.husband andtten children to mourn their ir-
reparable loss. Mrs, Lorentz was a LADY, and to
know her was to love her, to name her was to
praise. She possessed all those qualities in an
eminent degree, that adorn and beautify the fe-
male character. She was an affectionate wife
and mother, a devout christian and kind neigh
Dor; hence in her removal there has been a yacu-
UNI created in the bosom of her family and cir
Gle of her acquaintances which can never be fill
ed, and which has filled their hearts with sorrow
and causedit tears of pure affection to flow j.; but
those tears are like the drops of rain that de-
scend from cloudIess sky at meridian of day
they are iilumined by the sunshine of hope.
for she left the blessed evidence that the the
bereaved ones sustained was her eternal gain.-
Her mind was clear up to the time of her DISCO
luton, and when feeling the hour of her release
drawing nigh, she requested her friends to sing a
I,favorite hymn, and while they were singing
her aGiticipatiOns grew strong and full OF i'm
mortality and eternal life. She raised herself
from her pillow, aud waving her emancated
hands, in holy triumph, she Joined in and sang
aloud, "
&c There is a lilly white robe in Heaven for me,
am going where my troubles will be over.''1
| After which, she had her little children brought
to her; that she might take all affectionate fare
we'll OF them. which she did, by pressing dy-
ing mothers kiss upon their lips, entreating
them TO meet her inEHeaven, and commencing
them to the guidance and care of her Heave My
Father; after which she remained calm, and re-
signed up to the time of her release, praising
God, and talking of Heaven. Her funeral took
place at her late residence, the evening of the
l7th, when the Rev. Mr.. LYDIA, of the Metho-
DIST Episcopal Church, (of which she was a
member,) preached an appropriate discourse to
large number of relatives and friends, from
philippians, Sd chapter, Doth aud 2lst verses
Her body was then conveyed to its last resting
place, to await glorious resurrection, when
that which was mortal should put on immortaIi-
~, and death shall be swallowed up in victory,
The soul of our sister has gono,
To brighten the triumphs above,
Exalted TO Jesus's Throne,
And cIasped in the arms of his love-"
A FRIEND.

NOBLE SENT1MENTs.-Some of the DEM
ocrats ofNew Orleans wrote to Robert G.
Wicklitf, asking the use Of his name as
candidate for governor of Louisiana at the
ensuing election. He declined, and in
his reply remarked that " the true Amer
lean party in this land is the democratic
party. 1t proscribes no man on account
of his birth or religion it adopts as its
own the principles contained in the Amer
lean Declaration of Independence. There
rests not upon the statute-book of our
country one measure which has not add
ed to its greatness that has not the stamp
and impress of Democracy. Under the
democratic rule and policy, we have
grown from infancy to vi gorous manhood.
Ours is the greatest, the happiest and the
best country God has given to man.
Democracy has made it such, and the
democratic party will continue it So"
We are glad to see that, notwithstand-
ing the declension of Mr.. Wickliff, he has
been placed in nomination for governor Of
Louisiana by that democracy of which
he is so distinguished an ornament.

.'AmerloansF Ruling, America.,,

The Rev. Mr.. Loyeioy, speaking of the
late law passed by the Massachusetts,
Legislature, on the subject of LIQUOR.
holds the following language:
y" A man who manufactures barrel Of
cider, is fined under this law $50. and
Imprisonment from three TO six months
for,the first offence. 5000 and imprisons
ment for six months for the second Of,
fence. and 5000 and imprisonment for
twelve monts for the third offence If
you make one gallon Of wine, squeezed
from the currants that grow in-your gar.
den, and give away or sell aglass of it.,
that act entities you to Imprisonment
for twelve months. and this in, the old
Commonwealth of Massachusetts. in the
year Of ouf Lord, 1855p' FEa7
There is truth in the above, which
cannot but strike the human mind with
peculiar force. We have often said, the
result otaIl such laws is to lead to a danN
gerous extreme. and produce a state Of
society IN this country Of the most fearful
character. Althoughrwe considered the
Massachusetts Legislature capable OF
anything, we scarcely believed point in
legisl alton would be reached so supreme.
II ridiculous Whoever dreamed that
the year of 1855 would witness the en-
Hetment of a law by sovereign State Of
this Union, prohibiting the farmer from
making a 6arreI of cider2 Whoever
supposed a law would be passed TO i'm
prison farmer for six months, if he dar-
ed manufacture barrel Of cider.2 Is it
any wonder that the common sense of the
people is beginning to revolt at this
outrageous humbuggery? The people
may, be called rum suckers and rum-sel-
lers, by those whose sense OF justice and
right has been eaten out by fanatacism
but the time is coming when the truth
and genuine morality will prevail, and
laws which are but the result Of miser-
able catering to fanatics shall be wiped
from the statute books. Dem. Union.
