The Whir Nominees.

We were not expecting Wing candidates
for Offices to be filled at the nsuing April
election, to be brought before the people at
the time and in the manner in which they
have been; but inasmuch as they are now
before the people aud are ssgood men and
true," we see no good reason why the Wings
should not give them their hearty and undi-
vided support.
With the nominations Of Hon. VIM. McKav
we are particularly we'll pleased. His name
will lend strength to the ticket, and if the
people are but awake to their own interests
the ticket entire will be elected. The Re-
publican in speaking Of these nominees, says:
ssThese nomination will receive q cordial
and hearty support, from the people of the
whole State.
s'The election of Mr.. Mckay to the Judge
ship in his district, shows the estimation IN
which he is held where he is best known,
and his integrity of character, and his rare
abilities give the assurance that the conf
derce reposed in him will not be abused, and
that his duties if he is elected will be per-
formed with credit to himself; and those
whose interests are entrusted to his care.
sMr. Lockwood represented his county in the
legislature which has just closed its sessions.
He is gentleman worthy of liberal support
As a momber of the House he performed his
duties in an honorable manner, and guarded
we'll the interests of his constituents, as we'll
as those of the State at large. He had the
full confidence of his fellew representatives
as man Of moral worth and high intellectu-
al attainments. His honesty ofpurpose no one
with whom he is acquainted will ever bring in
question.
MIR. Hart is an old resident of this county,
and is noted as most thorough and correct
basiness man. AS Secret ry Of the Board of
Trustees of the State University he has sold
most of the University Land that had been
brought into market, and we speak from a
personal knowledge Of the facts when we say
that his books are kept in the best order, and
that his business aEsact;ons are snch rs
commend him to all practical business men.
La making thu salts Of these lands his du-
ties have been performed to the entire salts
faction Of the board, and they will bear the
strictest scrutiny. We shall be disappointed
if old johnson does not give him a good
heavy majority.
s'Our duty as to the ticket presented is
plain. With united effort it can be elected.
We have the strength with which to do it, and
it must be done. Our candidates are good
mon, and true. We have not a doubt but
they will prove themselves acceptable to the
people at large, and they must, and will be
elected"

INJURED INNocENcE.-The Gazette says,
that when it asserted that the fusionists and
wings attempted to form sscoalitio,, of
Church and State" it simply meant that
thsy were attempting to s.press the pulpit in
to the serricc Of party politics! II" And with
an artlessness worthy of an infant school,
asks rs to point out when and where they
have mads random charges?
Now, Mr.. Gazette, let US know when and
where the wings and fusionists attempted to
press tho pulpit into the service of 'sparty
politicsv' Did they succeed? Tell us all
about il. Did they bribe tho Ministry or
how?

We learn that on the evening Of the Sd
inst. Rodolphus Little, son of Lyman Little,
deceased, boy about Ii years Of age, wan
dered into the woods with his dog, hunting.
Not returning the following day, his friends
became alarmed, and INQUIRIES were made,
whom neishbor remarked that on the night
previous he had seel light in the woods not
far from his house. They proceeded imme-
diately to the spot, and there found the re-
mains Of tho unlucky child. 1t appeared
that tho boy had set fire to large hollow
tree, and laid down to rest. 1t appeared that
the tree had burned down and fell upon him,
while he no doubt was asleep on the ground.
1t fell upon his lower eStremities, which were
consumed to ashes his right arm was con-
sumed to the elbow, and the left badly burn
ed. His clothes were consumed, except the
collars about his neck. No doubt he was
killed instantly by the fall of the tree, as
his eyes appeared to have never been opened
from the time they were closed in natural
sleep, says our medical informant.

THE PANTRY.

This il the pantr and from floor to ceiling
Are ranged the plates andpans ia piles and rows,
But from their polished sides no anthems pcaling.
Startle the boardeIs fIUm their morning dOze.
All what so1nd Of crashes and vibrations
Will rise, when Dinah, with her cupboard keys,
Comes down to make the breakfast prept rations,
With jnging spoons and crockery symphonies!
hear even now. the infinite loud chorus
The rafting dishes, and the whistling steam
The echoes Of the breakfast gone before us,
Still linger in the kitchen like dreams
The burstin. shell Of Holsters wrenched asunder,
The Kissing stew pan and the claslsing blade,
And with sound more horrible than thunder,
The stunning gong when breakfast is arrayed.
rs II. oh cook with such discordant noises,
With such accursed instruments as these,
Thou drownest slumbers sweet and kindly voices,
And fairest Of celestial harmonies!
IF half the skill we lavish on our dinners,
If half the time pass in cookery's courts,
We're spent in spreading truth and saving sinners,
There were no need Of arsenals or forts.
Down the long dining room with soft vibrations,
The echoing sounds grow fainter and then cease,
And at each chamber door with gentle patience,
voice comes saying, breakfast if you please!
We no. No longer from the Kitchens portals
The din Of pans and kettles sha kes the skies,
But sweetest sounds on earth to hungry mortals,
The melodies Of knives and forks arise.

EDITORIAL PERsoNALlTIEs.--The New York
Tribune thus winds up an article upon the
dignity of journalism:
Whenever editors raise the standard eff mu-
tual respect whenever they become in fact
what they arc in theory-a profession: when
ever they have common and current creed
of gentlemenly behavior as editors, no less
than as men-then will the evils complained
Of be cured; aud society spared the merciless
infiction of private wrongs upon its notice.
Editors ought to know that the bare fact of
Of their commanding the use Of the pen daily
does not entltle them to persecute the public
with editorial quarrels. These are incidents
of their private business, and ought to be SO
treated.

WHrsKEY DIP lr!-A man may drink

WHrsKEY DIP IRA man may drink
whiskey and at the same time posses many
virtues, but inasmuch as whiskey is stronger
than virtue, it will eventually, as Aaron's
rod, swallow up all the rest! In proof of
this, rea the following, closing paragraph
of the Galena Jeffcrsoni ms description of
the recent execution of Taylor
''Thus died John |. Taylor. who had rem
dered the State some service in the Semi
mole war; performed in this city last sum-
mer, during the cholera season, offices of
kindness and humanity from which others
shrank as dangerous,---b who unfor-
tunately was addicted to drunkenness, and
slew his wife in fit of inebriation.''

DIFFEREVT PHASES OF LOCOFOCOJSM
Ohio Locofocoism has boon tried, convicted
and sentenced, and now awaits its execution.
But unwilling to die out and give no sign or
token, has left . /" little book for spoilsmen
to look upon when it shall be dead and gone
II any thing could place that ssiniquity in
years." tho Locofoco party, upon the stool
OF repentance, and force one honest emotion
from its lips, one would think its present for
lorn AMI undone condition in that State
would do it. But it is hard to tell whether
tho following was dictated by faint hope Of
thus escaping deserved punishment, or put
forth a dcath-bed repentance. We extract
II from the 9Th Of January convention pro-
oeedings:
Resolvsd, That the people of Ohio, now,
- they have always done, look upon slavery
as On evil, and unfavorable to tho svelop-
mont Of the spirit and practical benefits of
free institutions; and that, entertaining these
sentiments, they will at all times feel it to be
their duty to use all power clearly given by
tho terms Of the national compact to prevent
ito increase, to mitigate and finally to eradi-
cate the evils.
There 10 in vogue, among cl ,ss of pseudo
politicians, whose vision does not extend over
very wide range, certain elegant and
classic epithet. This epithet is "wooL %
This epithst is . kind of "raw-head and
bloody bones." We would take it as an es-
pecial favor, if tho editors Of the Gazette
will analize tho above resolution and inform
~ whether the animal that brought it forth
wore hair or wool!
Had the Wings of Iowa adopted resolu-
tion like the above what would have been
said by the Gazette? Had Wing conven-
ton here resolved that slavery was blight
and curse and at war with our free institu-
tions, and that they would use every effort
consistent with the national compact to pre-
cent its increase, to mitigate and finally to
eradicate the evils !" and cry of " fanati-
cism" would have gone out from that of6e.
After helping to enlarge the boundaries of
slavery in every direction-after aiding the
South in every scheme of power and aggran-
dizsment-after adding thousands of miles
Of slave territory to thu Union, and opening
Kansas and Nebraska to it-tkcy havo just
discovered that they have ever done it. In
this they have found that, even under the
speeious head of "popular sovereigntyr' it
will not pay! The party in Ohio have there
fore applied for admission into the free soil
church! How long before Iowa Loccfocoism
seeks Absolution from the same quarter?
