SAcREDErss OF TEARs-Dr. johnson observes:
"There is a sacredness in tears" They are not
a mark of weakness, but of power. They speak
more eoquenty than ten thousand tongues.
They are the messengers Of overwhelming grief
Of deep contrition, ofunspeakable love. Ii there
were wanting any arguments to prove that man
is not mortal, would look for it in the strong
convulsive emotions OF the breast, when the soul
has been deeply 1gitsted, when the fountains of
feeling are rising, and when the tears are gush-
ing forth in crystal streams. Oh, speak not.
harshly to the stricken one, weeping in silence
Break not the deep solcmnity by rude laughter
or intrusive footsteps.-Despise not woman's
tears-they are what made her an angel Scoff
not if the stern heart of manhood is sometimes
melted to tears they are what help to elevate
him above the brute. love to see tears of az.
fiction. They are painted tokens, but still most
holy. There is pleasure in tears--an awful
pleasure. If there were none on earth to shed
tear, for Ime, should be 10th to live; and if no
one might weep over my grave, could never
die in peace.

The following is a specimen of the kind Of
influences which the American party opposes
and the effect of which upon our Institutions
under the patronage of party demagogues
gave rise to the American party. Read it,
Americans, and say if you too, are not OPP
posed to it. John Mitchell, the Irish Refugee,
in addressing his Countrymen in Massachusetts,,
in view of the disbanding of the foreign mill
tary companies in that State, said:
'For every musket given in the State Armory lei
three be purchased orthuOath; let independent COM
panes be formed thrice as numerous as the dis
banded eorps-there are no Arms Acts here yet
and let every foreigner" be drilled and trained and
HAVE HIS ARMS ALWAYS READY. For You
may be very sure, having some experience in
that matter,) that those who begin by disarming
you, mean to do you mischief
BE careful not to truckle in the smallest partic-
uar, to American prejudices. Yield not a single
jot of your own; for you have as good a right to
your preudices they. Do not by any means
suffer the Gardeners Bible (she Protestant Bible, to
be thrust down your throat. Do not abandon your
post, or renounce your functions, but STAND TO
YOUR ARMS!"

"BRIeHr AND BURNINe i"-Our daily private
correspondence continues to be of the mosU

writes us under date of the 10th, from neigh
boring county, in which we know that the
anti-Americans have made most vigorous ex-
ertions, that "the American fires are bright
and burning" in that region-and other ac-
counts from the same county assure US of a
gain of one hundred votes, or more Another
friend, always we'll informed of the state of
popular sentiment in his own and the neigh
boring counties, confidently predicts a gain of
about four hundred in three counties-one of
them the county in which he resides. An
other letter, dated the 10th inst, from a most
reliable source, estimates gain of over four
hundred votes in two other counties only

other localities. Altogether, we have never
