NATIONAL MEN.-ln II late lecture in Phil
adelphia, Theodore Parker, complained that
the North had but four Presidents, and the
South eight, out Of twelve elected by the
people. The Philadelphia Ledger remarks,
that when the North can furnish better men
than Washington, Jefferson, Madison, Jack
son, and the merits of such men are over
looked for less capable persons from the
South, then there will be reason to complain
of sectional differences and preferences. The
patriots named above, says the Ledger, were
chosen because they represented the spirit OF
the nation, and had souls large enough to re-
gard the good of the whole country. When
such men rise North or South, the people do
honor to themselves in placing authority IN
their hands; for it will never be abused to nd
vance one section above another, or to di-
minish that respect for the Constitution, with
out which faithful and impartial enforcement
of the laws is impossible.

DUTY OF THE Wing PARTY.-We copy
the following paragraph from the National
lntellgencer of the 2Sth ult
1t is very justly remarked by writer in
the Baltimore American, signing himself "An
old line Whig," that the condition of the po-
litical parties and of political affairs renders
necessary on the part of the Wings serious
consideration of the course propcrto be taken
by them in the approaching political arrange
menls affecting the highest interests of the
country. The same writer calls on the old
line Wing party of Maryland to meet in Con-
vention to deliberate on that course of action
best calculated to make ellectual their votes
in sustaining the fundamental principles of
the Government in preserving the Union and
repressing sectarianism. We are glad to see
the public attention drawn to this subject,
and we hope that the suggestion of the wrl.
ter will bc heartily and promptly responded
to by the ever patriotic Wings of Maryland,
and taken up throughout the Union. The
responsibilities of the Wing conservatives of
the country are becoming deeply and critically
important and they must meet and redeem
them with unwaverng fidelity and determi-
nation.

"WE'LL DANCE ALL NTGnT, Till BROAD DAY
LIGHT" &o-A regular dancing match, with
prize to the longest livers or dancers, came
off on New Years night at Buffalo: the con.
test being decided at regular ball. The
prize was a tree laden with various gifts or
presents, and the couple who might waltz
the longest were to bear it off. Some fifty
couples entered as competitors, and Mt quar-
ter past the orchestra struck up as a signal
for the start. At IL o'clock all but three
couple had "gin out" completely broken
down, and soon after considerable sensation
was created by one of the three ladies still
on her feet fainting, The prize was finally
won by George Gresham and his sister
they having waltzed for three consecutive
hours without intermssion. During this
time they are said to have whirled over five
and half miles Of floor. Nothing is said oi
the orchestra, but we pity any poor devil
who was obliged to sit behind clarionet OF
trombone for three mortal hours, and dis
course the while.

WINTER.

A SNOWFALL RENINIscENcE, CONCEIVED IN FROZEN cURLs
Chill Winter in his fieecy chair
Sits, with pale cheek and stiffend hair,
And breathing on the frigid lakes
Drives headlong down his snowy flakes
Howls by the demon drifting wind
Whispering from its sightless din
With congeald words and icy chin,
"Keep close within, keep close within"
And moments after moments chase
In rapid strides and keep apace
But still another knell is rung,
And on this shroud another flung -
Until all nature in pet
With spotless gems is richly set,
And, shorn of sable mantle old,
In broadest day can scarce be told.
The woodland sweet in Summers dint,
Would fain be clad in rosy tint;
But now in spite of Winters freaks
Has on coat of brilliant streaks;
And all this thy meand'ring is
That thou might'st blot good Natures phiz
But cease, stern Winter thine intent,
For revels will her bosom rent
And if thou shouldst so lucky be
As to purloin her Autumn glee,
Why, then she'll force mighty lease
And take thee for her masterpiece.
BETTE BEECHwooD.
