RESTLESS WoMaS.-Madame George Sand, or

gives an amusing account of her deceased mother,
who had hatred of repose:
"She would buy for instance honnct, because she

bought il she would find it hideous-take oil the ro-
bops and then the lowers-take out the lace-and
cl anee the arrangement with readiness and taste
Her bonnet would please her all the next day: But
the day after there must be another radical reform
and SO on for some eight days, until the unlucky bon
net always in state of mttamorphosir, became
totally Indifferent to her. Then she would wear 1t
wi the utmost disdaiD, protesting that sue dld not

very hne. She got ii ed of being brunette, and put

emily she returned to ashy pale ocksthen went back
to her own mellow black hair-and this to such pur-
pose that saw her with different hair for every day in
the week. This childish frivoiy did not exclude la
borious occupations and very minute domestic CAFES
She had her own delights of imagination, and would

from being astir at six in the morniog, to begin anew

appointed a committee TO draft resolutions
The following resolutions were reported and
unanimously adopted.
WHEREAS. in our opinion, the Democratic
patty has always been the true and faithful al,
yoraie of equal ami exact Justice To all men OF
whatever State OF persuasion, religious or point
zeal : the support of the State Governments IN
all thsir rights; the preservation OF the General
Government in its whole constitutional vlgor

and converted elections into scenes of riot and

Resolued, That we will cling To the Democrat

political. as well as religious prosecutions, from
fanaticism and sectionalism. and as the sheet

ResOlDed, That in consideration of the expe-
ricnce and eminent abilities of Jesse ID. Bright,
~ a statesman, and his mistaken fidelity To the
Democratic party and to the Union, we have no
hesitaiis.4 in declaring our preference to him as
the Democratic candidate for the next Presr-
dency.
Resolued, That we think the Democrats of In

many as two of the State officers.

%Where is the man who will not endorse
an old and tried friend, whom he and lis
party known to be both capable and faithful?
We can consistently present for the Office OF
State Treasurer the name of DR.. Elijah New
land. We present him as our ~favorite and
that ofmany Of our friends. We have known
him for years as an accomplished and high
toned gentleman, a man of the s~trictest moral
ity and integrity, OF a thorough-going business
and financial capacity. Previous to his nomi-
nation as the last Democratic State Treasurer,
he had never sought an Office, but in the hour
of battle for the principles ofhis party, Elijah
Newland was always found at his post in that
old Democratic county of Washington
There is no such thing as a claim for Office in
our creed; the nationality of this creed and
the attainment of its great ends, and the plac-
ing in Office OF national men who will most
conduce to these ends and subserve faithfully
the interests and integrity of this State, we
most heartily recognize; and therefore, while
In the case of the State Treasurer alone We
anticipate Tie action Of the Convention, We

Our old friend and fellow citizen, DIR. New
land, is a candidate for this office. We know
of no man better qualified than the Doctor
for the office. lie is nm excellent business

acknowledged his capacity and fitness" but
he was a Democrat and must 90 by the board

head. The Democracy of Washington are
entitled to some consideration at the hands of
the Democracy of the State. While many
counties around gave way and yielded TO ia
naticism and proscriptive bigotry, the gallant
Democrats hore stood firm and fought a good
fight. They never waver in the good cause,
and will fight on TO sure victory even il every
other county gives way. For two years past,
men who have acted with Democrats hereto
for have been put on the X. N. ticket, but
il was no use. We are for DIR. Newland for
