A Picture. 1t is seldom that
poet colors a fancy picture with a rich'
light than Alexander Smith has throw
around the following.
She was born 'mong water-mills;
She grew up 'mong flowers and rills,
In the hearts of distant hills.
There, into her being stole
Nature, and imbued the whole,
Aud illumed her face and soul.
She grew fa;rer than her peers;
Still her gentle for ehead wears
Holy lights of infant years.
Her blue eyes, so mild and meek,
She uplifteth, when | speak,
Lo the bushes mount her cheek.
Weary l of pride and jest,
In this rich hears | would rest,
Purple and love-lined nest.

NJ The Hartford Times has the following
in relation TO the manufacturing industry OF
Cohnectieul:-A successful manufacturer in
this county, in conversation day or two
since, remarked to Us tn in respect to the
goods produced by American manufacturers,
of nearly all descriptions, but especially cas-
sinners, salmets, etc., there has been grea'
ter improvement OF the qualify during The
last year, than in any other six years com
bined, since the commencement of our home
manufactures in the United States. Con-
irnsted BY the side of American broadcloths
and cassimeres made ten years ago, the
goods of 1858 look like the best imported
articles; aud it is plain that in n few years
more the home demand will be supplied by
American goods. equal To the best foreign
made fabrics Most of the small manutac-
turing establishments ia Connecticut, during
the past two or three years, have done as
well, peruniarily, in proportion to the capital
employed, as alInos, any other kind Of bust
ness; some have made money, and some have
made losing business of it, according TO
their several methods of carrying on their
business, The experiment is being tried
satisfactory by some, Of avoiding the COM
mission houses and relying upon their own
sales"

CATEcHIsM.-The Columbia Herald is en-
gagged in making a new Democratic Cate
chsm. 1t asks several questions in its issue
of last week, to which we offer what we
consider appropriate answers: ts
Question man be genuine Demo-
crat who is in favor Of banks, or, must he
be opposed to Them to be one!
AnsUer.--A man may be a genuine DEM
ocrat, who is in favor of Banks. In Virginia,
South Carolina and other States, in which
the Democrats have had unlimited authority
and control since the Inauguration Of that
party, they have firmly established system
Of banks. They have often been in deci-
ded majority in the State of Tennessee, but
have done nothing to rid the State of the
"odious institution" Looking, therefore, to
the practice of Democracy, we say ''gen-
uinc Democrat" may be in favor of banks
Nevertheless man may be opposed to banks
and still be u "genune Democrat" In Ten
nessee, there are "genuine Democrats" who
are il favor of banks, and genuine Demo-
Gratis" who are opposed to banks, and one
class is just as "genuine" ms the other.
Ques.-What says our Democratic confess
sion OF faith? IT,, r.
Ans.-W hatsoever the leaders of the par.
ty command yousto do, that do ye in spirit
of humble obedience and reverence. Vote
the straight Democratic ticket. "Voie early
and vote otten" Ii all these things ye shall
well and truly dc. verify We shall have your
reward and one hundred millions of treasure
shall be faithfully bestowed upon you, and
according to your talents shall ye each be
ewarded.-NdSh. Banner.

THE So-CALLED DEMOCRACY.


The following just structures upon the
doube-iaced policy Of the dominant party
we find in the Providence (R. IL "Journal."
The practices of this demagoguical eoncern
owing to the management Of its unscrupu-
lous leaders, must have arrested attention.
So that one of these leaders calls himself a
Democrat, and votes and acts with the self
styled Democracy, oil is right The only
principle common to the ChOIe party is, to
try so to dipide the opposition as to break its
force, and in the general confusion secure
power-and by the 'cohesive power Of the
public plumber" to keep it. Strike This out,
and all the rest will be found to be antago'
nism. Says the "journal:" e.O
"The Austrian government before all pop
ular rights were crushed urder the reaction
AIRY despotism that followed the revolution
of l84S, ruled the various provinces OF the
empire with very different degree OF force.
IL allowed Hungary the traditional exercise
of nationality, tbs attempt towards which
would have redeemed afresh the scatfO!ds OF
Venice or of Milan. Allowance was made
for the different temper and spirit of races,
for the different power of resistance, and
for the different chances Of successful re-
volt. rf att
$50 the Democratic party rules. A license
of speech is allowed in South Carolina, that
would bring twenty posImasters to the po-
li,ical block in IIinois. Mr.. Douglas is for
mally read out of the party by the Union, il
accommodated and mathematical with
"bell, book and candle" Yet Mr.. Orr is al
lowed to say in South Carolina that he sym
pathises with Douglas. and wishes him sue
cess in the contest with the only candidate
who is really opposed to him, Lincoln. In
the North the slightest freedom Of speech Is
forbidden, and the least deviation from the
prescribed rule of tie party is sgnaliy pun
ished; in the South, men are allowed to say
that Douglas is right and Buchanan wrong
and yet they do not forfeit their party stand
ing, postmasters are allowed to think, and
collectors TO hold opinions of their own
The reason of this is plain. The Southern
Democracy have more spirit, and they are il
the ascendant. They know that the party
cannot sustain itself an hour without them
while in the free States it has nothing 5u
what it buys and frightens. They own the
party and they claim the right to mod
ify its principles, and TO speak plainly of its
men,"
