A Short Story.

we must work. Many who have been
fortunate in business, and having early &C.
quired wealth, have retired from the active
pursuits OF life, to find what they call ease
have found instead, accumulation of cares
antevils, real and imaginary, which they
never supposed to be connected with lie
Eofidleness There, for instance, is our
friend Coffee for many years one of the firm
of Coffee, Rice & Co., wholesale grocers in
South street. Coffee commenced business
in early life, and being enterprising and en-
e.getic, and sas busy as a bee, the business
prospered, and the irm became wiielJ known
6y their successful trading. After Cotfre
had been in bus sness for about twenty years,
he concluded that he would retire from ac-
tive life, and spend the rest of his days, (he
was only forty -fve) in some secluded spot,
where the fluctuations of pork and moiasses
would disturb his quiet soul no lons,r lie

DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION.

The Convention of the counties Of the Eighth
Congressional District will assemble at this place
Monday, the 18th Of May.
On the same day the delegates from the counties
of Robertson, Montgomery and Stewart will nOmin-
ate q candidate for the Senate
The delegates from Davidson, Robertson, and
Montgomery will nominate a candidate for joint
Representative, and
The delegates from Montgomery, will nominate
candidate for Representative.
1t is hoped and expected that there will be full
representation Of all the counties in the Congress
sional District lqrksUiHe JgieTsOHiaa.
We Join cordially with the JefersoniaH in urging
upon our friends full representation Of all the
counties in the Congressional district. If we desire
to serve our principles and advance..our party we
should contesthe groundn this district with the same
earnestness, energy and unfnching resolution that
we would with a certain majority in our favor.
Democracy is TRUTH and its earnest devotee should
never despair of its success however great the mo-
mentary odds against it, The present is most for
tunate occasion to appeal to the intelligence and
patriotism of the honest masses in behalf Of Demo-
cratic men and measures. They have had, IN the
las6few years, series of practical and foroible
illustrations of the thorough corruption Of all other
parties and of their utter inability to administer
the government as 70 preserve Inc SLed6 Oa ulLaA
principles of the Constitution, perpetuae our iber-
ties and give strength and stability to our nstitu-
tons. 1t has become so manifest that he who runs
may read, that only the Democratic party can do
this and that when they fail the experiment Of free
government will be at an end in this country. Hon
est patriots of all parties beginning to see this,
and it is high and sacred duty Of the followers Of
the true faith to press on with renewed ardor while
the circumstances are inviting. At such time, and
with such cause as we are advocating there is no
calculating what may be accomplished with the pro-
per effort. Let US put forward our ablest man and
20 into the contest with that abiding faith in the
success of true principles which never anticipates
defeat and but gathers new resolution from each
reverse of fortune it sustains.
Let the Democracy in Convention assemble togeth-
er at GAINESVILLE on the l1th inst and confer with
each other as to the best policy to be pursued inter
change congratulations over the triumphs Of the
past and the encouraging prospects for the future
and awaken new zeal in the glorious work that is be-

for me TO date on the objects Of this meeting, all

APPorTMENTs.-The Postmaster General has re-
appointed Mr.. J. Holbrook, author Of Ten Years
among the Nail Bags, as Special Agent Of the Post
Office Department.
Robert R. Little, Esq, editor of the North Branch
Democrat Of Tunhannook, in Wyoming county, has
been appointed, by Attorney General Black, Judge
Advocate Of one Of the Naval Courts Of Inquiry in
Washington City.
James Mills. Esq, who has been appointed Col
lector and Surveyor Of St. Paul, Minnesota Terri
tory, is printer and one Of the editors Of the St.
Paul Democrat.
We are pleased to notice the appointment Of Mr.
Samuel W. Black as one Of the judges Of Nebraska
Territory. He is one Of the most brilliant and
effective champions Of democracy in the whole
country, able lawyer and gifted with the highest
mental endowmcuts. We know of no one who better
deserves mark Of honorable recognition from the
administration
The Washington JaiaH says: owe understand
that the goveruorship of Utah Territory has been
rendered to Major benjamin Mccullough, Of Texas,
and that there is every reason to believe he will
accept the Office. 1t would be difficult to name
another person who combines in himself SO many
qualities for the successful discharge of the duties
Of this important and delicate trust as are undOubt
edly possessed by Major Mccullough. "
Ez7= The Clarksville Je6ersoaiaa says: So There
was an indefinite amount Of Know Nothing indig-
nation expended here on Saturday last upon the re-
ccipt of Gen. ZoLuCoFFER's letter. Countenances,
fierce as ten fuics, terrible as hell" were visible
on every corner, and oaths, round and fat, were
heard exploding every side. If the General could
have heard the noise and confusion, he would
have surmised that his chance for aid and comfort
in this neighhorhool was exceedingly slim. If his
card is as well received in all parts Of the district
here we imagine that his chance to stay at home
during the next Congress is very fine"
A New ITEu PROM TIE SCRIPTUREs.-CoI. Joe G.
Pickett the principal orator Of the know-nothing
convention yesterday, said that Bob Hatton and
the know-nothing party would pitch into the de-
moeracy like the lions did into the Gentiles when
the Jordan overfoWsd its banks"
