change ofordinary courtesy for one who
was not member of that order or party.
"Wearied with party strifes in which
they were so often discounted, viewing
with apprehension the growing dispose
ton to foment sectional strifes, which
weaken the attachment to the Union,
many Wings hailed the formation of a
new party, the aims ofwhich they hoped
were conservative, and the professions
of which they regarded as sincere, as a
harbingcr of hope for the preservation Of
the Union. This hope has been sigually
and unfortunately dispelled The whole
North and Northwest have been carried
by the abolitionist by the aid of this new
party, except as the means of eifecting
the ends of the abolitionists are at an
end. The organization of the Legisla-
ture shows that this new party has no
regard for the Wing party or its princi-
Piles. The firm and consistent Wing
whose vote was sought at the election to
aid this party is stricken down as an en-
envy, regardless of his qualifications, and
he is only allowed to cooperate as a sub
ordinate. Representatives ofthe people
are expected and required to register the
decrecs Of secret councils, regardless of
the wishes of their constituents, and the
ten or fifteen thousand Wings of the
State who voted with this party, though
not belonging toit, are regarded as ofno
account.
In this state of things, what is the
course which patriotism, honor and self
respect should prompt the Wings to take
for the future? The Know Nothing
party view them as enemies. They re
pudiate their principles and are governed
by the dictates Of secret councils. The
Wings can sympathize With them no
longer. To continue to act with them
would show them void of solf-rcspeet and
patriotism, and insure the election of a
black republican President of the United
States. In this state Of bhe country but
one course can be pursued, and that is to
cast their votes with those who maintain
the compromises of the Constitution, and
the organic principles Of the government
which separate religion and politics as a
fundamental principle of public law.
The writer of this calls on the Old-line
Wing party of Maryland to meet in Con
vcntion to deliberate on that course of
action best calculated to make chectual
their votes in sustaining the fundamental
principles Of the government as above
mentioned, in preserving the Union and
REFRESHING soctarianism.

lofty emincnco defiance to their fierce
onslaughts on our constitutional rights.
Though opposition to foreigners and
Catholics has, of late, absorbed an undue
share of Judge Cones efforts and ener-
GIGS, he is too much Of Democrat in
all his antecodonts and past sympathies
to be insonsible to the good service in
behalf of sound principles rendered the
country by the present administration
His resolutions are u magnanimous rec
ignition of this fact.
." The resolution sustaining the Pres
dents construction of the Clayton-bulwer
treaty, and pledging the support of our
people to the administration in defence
of that construction, even to the extrom-
ity of a war with England, speaks, we
believe, the unanimous sentiment of
Georgia and the South, and of the pat
riotic men of all sections"

HOW to Colnmcnce Buslness.

Well, boys, we doubt not that you
would like TO rise high in the world and
become good farmers, merchants, &c
Here is a good motto for you, Begin at
the lowest round on the ladder and keep
climbing; and here is a story which will
illustrate Just what we want to say. One
of The most wealthy merchants of New
York city tells US how he commenced
business. He says:
Il entered store and asked if a clerk
was not wanted No. in a rough tone,
was the answer, all being too busy to
bother with me; when / reflected that if
they did not want a clerk they might
want laborcr, but | was dressed too
fine for that. ! went to my lodgings,
put on a rough garb, and the next day
went into the same store and demanded
if they did not want a porter, and again
NO, sir, was the response; when | ox-
claimed, in despair almost, "a laborcr ?
Sir, I will work at any wages. Wages
is not my object; | must have employ,
and want to be useful in business"
| These last remarks attracted their atten-
ton, and in the end | was hired as la
borcr in the basement and sub-ccllar, on
very low pay, scarcely enough to keep
body and soul together In the basement
and sub-cellar, | soon attracted the at
tcntion Of the counting-house and chief
clerk. saved enough for my employ
ers in little things to pay my wages ten
times over, and they soon found it out.
| did not let any person about commit
petty larcenies without remonstrance and
threats Of exposure, and real exposure if
remonstrance would not do. / did not
ask for any ten hour law. Il / was
wanted at A. NJ, ! never growlcd,
but told everybody to 60 home, and |
would see everything right l loaded
off at daybrcak packages for the morning
boats or carried them myself In short,
soon became indispensable to my en-
/ ployers, and rose and rose until | be-
came the head Of the house, with money
enough, as you see, to give me any lux
ury or any position a mercantile man
may desire for himself and children in
this great city. '-PrisonerS Friend

The Winter Of the Heart.

A beautiful writer counsels wisely
when he says; olive so that good angels
may protect from this terrible evil-the
winter Of the heart. Let no chilling in
huence freeze up the fountains Of SYM
pathy and happiness in its depths; no
cold burden settle over its withercd hopes,
like snow on the faded flowers; no rude
blasts of discomfort moan or shrek
through its desolated chambers.
Your life-path may lead through trials,
which for time seemed utterly to i'm
pede your progress, and shut out the
very light Of heaven from your anxious
gaze. Perjury may take the place Of
case and plenty; your luxurious room
may be changed for an humble one; the
soft couch for straw pallet; the rich
viands for the coarse food Of the poor.
Summer friends may forsakc you, and
the IMPLYING world passyou with scarce
ly a look or word Of compassion
You may be forced to toll YEARLY,
steadily on to earn a livelihood; you may
encounter fraud and the base ayaricc that
would extort the last farthing, till you
wellnigh turn in disgust from your fel-
low beings. Death may sever the dear
ties that bind you to earth, and leave
you in fearful silence. That noble,
manly boy, the sole hope of your declin-
ing years, may be taken from you while
your spirit clings to him with wild te-
nacity, which even the shadow of the
tomb cannot wholly subduc
Amid all these sorrows, do not come
to the conclusion that nobody was ever
so deeply afflicted as you are, and aban-
don every anticipation Of "better days, q
in the unknown future Do not lose
your faith in human excellence, because
confidence has somtimes been betrayed,
nor believe that friendship was only a
delusion, and love a bright phantom
which glides away from your grasp.
DO not think that you are fatcd TO be
miserable, because you are disappointed
in your expectations, and baflled in yom
pursuit. DO not declare that God ha,
forsallcn you, when your way is hedged
about with th0rns, or rcpinc sinfully
when he calls your dear ones to the land
beyond the grave. Keep holy trust in
Heaven through every trial; bear adycr-
sity with fortitude, and look upwards il
hours oftelnptation and suffering. Wher
your locks are white, your eyes dim, and
your limbs weary, when your stepsfaltcl
on the verge Of deaths gloomy vale, still
retain the freshness and buoyancy Of
spirit which will shield you from tho
twintcr of the heart.

SOUTHERN SENTIMENT.

A correspondent of the Georgia Con
stitutionalist, writing from Milledgeville,
says:
=" | enclose the significant resolutions

man who presented to the Philadelphia
Convention the Know-nothing platform.

failures of the House of Representatives

2. Rcsotccd, That it is the duty of the
members Of that body, who are opposed

candidate, to forget past differences, to
unite, to meet, to nominate, and to elect
Speaker.
3. Resotoed, That the construction Of
the Clayton-Bulwcr treaty by the Pres
ident is right, according to its plain and
obvious meaning. We will sustain the
President We love peace, and earnest
ly desire its continuance. We will not
avoid war if the protection Of the rights
and honor Of the nation demand it.
