Coming Down Heavy,

The Henderson Democrat Of the 26th, thus
comes down heavy on the individual who has
just called the Democratic State Convention,
signing himself chairman Of the Democratic
State Central Committee -
"For our part, we were convinced last sum.
.uer that Earle s. Goodrich, of the Pioneer,.
was not Democrat. We were then salts.
lied that he was selfish, unprincipled knave,
who cared nothing whatever for the party,
any further than to gain wealth and position
through his allegiance to it. We felt that he
believed the Democracy was about to be de-
feated ut the North, generally, and was ma
noeuvering to sell himself to the opposition at
the highest possible figure. Knowing some
thing about the "soius OperanM pursued else
where for papers favorable to Mr.. Douglas,
and perceiying that Mr.. Goodrich could not
be induced by remonstrance or argument to
cease his abuse of President Buchanan and
all who sided with him against Douglas, we
were convinced that his feaity to the latter
gentleman was attributable solely to subsidies,
uavlng this opinion, We demonstrated against
his appointment on the Central Committee,
but were answered, that giving him such
position would probably tickle his vanity, and
cpnduce to his return to the party. We could
not approve Of the policy, but being a new
Conner into the State, felt obliged to acquiesce
for the nonce, but not until we had predicted
just what has since come to pass Earl S.
Goodrich is not a man to be influenced
Through his vanity" 1t is through his purse
only that he can be reached. He is superior
to earthly vanity-knows its hollowness, and
is sensible that it will not bring the luxuries
and necessities of life. But the ringing of gold
is different thing. 1t is something tangi.
ble. Something that comes within the range
Of his comprehension.
Since he has been tried, and fully tried, we
think, by those who were satisfied that he
would come out all right; and since he has
come out all wrong, instead; we think the De-
mocracy Of this State owe it to themselves to
daily with him no longer. His recreancy is
palpable. Its motives are fully understood :;
and it is time he was forced to seem what he
has been for months past-an enemy to the
Democracy. He cannot do US half the dam
age outside Of the party that he can while in
it; and we, therefore, appeal to all Demo
Gratis in the State to withdraw from him all
countenance and patronage; to look upon
him hereafter as traitor and an enemy and
to demand that the Central Committee fill his
place in their body with good and reliable
member of the party. Until this is attained,
we hope our contemporaries who have gone
thus far with US will MT hesitate or alter. 1t
is your duty to your party and to your read
ers to drive this mscreant from our ranks"
"This miscreant is to be driven from the
ranks Of the party, and his place on the Cen
trail Committee filled with reliable man.
Wough!

"TRIP LIGHTLY.

Trip lightly over trouble,
Trip iightly over wrong;
We only MAKE grief double
BY dwelling on 1t long.
Why clasp woes hand so tightly?
Why sigh Ger blossoms dead q?
Whv cling 20 forms unsightly?
Why not seek Joys instead?
Trip lightly over sorrow, =
Though this duty may be dark,
The sun may shine Tomorrow,
And saily sing the lark;
Fair hope has not departed,
Though roses may nave fled;
Then never be down hearted,
But Look for JOY llstead.

H There is in San Francisco man of
considerable ability, named Norton, who in
1850 was one of the wealthy men Of Califor-
mia, but who is now reduced to poverty and
insanity. His hallucination is quite harmless,
however and leads him to imagine himself EN-
peror of the United States. Every few days
he issues a manifesto through the press,
and the fact that none Of them are needed by
his subjects seems not to discourage him in
the least

Another little wave
Upon the sea of life;
Another soul to save,
Amid the toll and strife.
Two more little feet
TO walk the dusty road;
To choose where two paths meet,
The narrow and the broad.
Two more little hands,
To work for good or ill;
Two more little eyes.
AnoIuer little will.
Another heart TO love,
Receiving love again;
And 80 the baby came,
thing OF Joy and pain.
