For the Spirit of Democracy.

Mr.. EDITOR: 1t is certainly truth
that the next session of the Legislature of
this State will be one of deep interest and
vast Importance to the people of this
State, and particularly SO to the people of
Monroe. And this fact being established,
another fact develops itself, to wit: That
we should put in nomination and elect
such men as know our wants and are able
to maintain them. Among the many gen.
tlemen named we are pleased to see that
our talented fellow citizen, DR.. JAMES NJ.
SToUT, has consented to be a candidate.
For many years past we have been con-
soled with the promise that the next Rep
resentative should be man from the west.
Two years ago, several gentlemen were
spoken of in the west, and we were told
by the central and eastern portion of the
county to select our favorite man, and all
would be right. Accordingly a popular
vote meeting was called, and the result
was almost unanimous in favor of DIR.
JAMES M. Stout. Our choice was made
known, and the result of the County Con-
vention was anything other than what
might have been anticipated.
DR.. SToUT has been citizen of the
county for fifteen years, during all of
which time he has been true and consis-
tent Democrat, and a constant supporter
of Democratic men and measures, and On
upright citizen.ss In 1853 he was most
shamefully misrepresented on the import
ant topic of the day, in different parts of
the county, and even represented in some
places to have declined.
Among the important measures that
will come before the Legislature next win
ter will be proposition to alter the School
Law. This proposition alone is one of
more Importance than many are aware Of;
and no man in the county is better posted
on schools and the School Law than Dr.
Stout, he having devoted much time to
the cause of education for many years.
Hoping that our fellow Democrats of
Monroe and eastern Noble will respond
to our wishes on the 2Sth, by making Dr.
Stout one of the nominees, we submit our
claim into their hands.

The roots are uere nutritious and keep much
better than common turnips.

is a sal dy loan, but clayey loan will ans.

A Beautiful Summer Song.

The following beautiful hymn we take
from an ancient writer, whose productions
doubtless some Of our readers have a slight
acquaintance with:
"Thou mak"st . Lord, the out going ci
the m ,ruing and evening to rejoice. Thou
visitcst the earth, and waterest it; thou
greatly enrchcst it with the river of God
which is full Of water; thou preparcst them
corn wher ,hou hast so provided for it, thou
waterest the ridges thereof abundantly; thou
makes: it soft with showers thou blessest the
rpringing thereof, thou crowncst the year
with thy goodness, thy path droppeth fatncss.
Thy crops are upon the paths ofthe wilderness
and the little hills rel ice on every side
The pastures ure clothed with nocks; the
valleys also a-e covered with corn; they shout
Tor joy. they also sing.
