Good for John !!

John Van Buren,, who has suffered some by stray
ing from the Democratic fold, recently said in a
convvial speech
"Wel1, gentlemen, there is one family has got
back safe into the democratic party to stay for life
1t is the Van Buren, family; and if Senator Douglas
only knew the long, dreary road he has to travel,
the deep, roaring streams he has got to swim his
horses over the dark stormy nights where the wind
will blow down his tents, and he will be forced to
sleep on the ground with the rain pouring on him
in torrents, the high, steep, and rugged mountains
he has got to climb the ntermnable deserts, where
there is wood nor water, he has got to cross in
the road he has taken away from his fathers house,
he would in my opinion, take the straightest chute
back into the democratic camp"
The roar that followed Johns description Of the
dangers and difficulties Of the route he himself bad
travelled since 1s4s may be imagined, but not de-
scribed

to some of readers in Forsyth County, to state
that according to the report of the Committee of F.

consequently, the Court at March Term. in session
this week, found it unnecessary to levy a tax for
Comfy purposes. News of this kind is always
gratifying suppose to the tax payer, especially in
times like the present, when money is hard to get.
1t should reflect considerable credit upon ZEAL
