DoN'T NEGLECT Your CH1LDREN.-A
lady friend of ours, some days ago, was con-
yersing with one of her neighbor's children,
as they were riding and she asked the little
girl if the beauties Of nature did not often
lead her mind to think Of the author Of all
things. The girl hesitated. Our friend
asked her if she knew who made all things?
The girl replied, Il knows him, but / have
forgotten his name.' That girls father was
an officer in the church. He has been too
careless about the mental and spiritual train.

cared for you before or not, she will, most

are obstacles in the way. Depend upon it,
you will find that Underdonk has made
great mistake in acting as he has done; and
that as soon as Ida finds out that your letter

aroused, she will suspect her guardian and

or the election in the city of Baltimore, the
Sun says: "Thc freedom of the ballot box
has not yet been restored, far from it. The
polls are still controlled, TO great extent by
viilainy and rufIianism. Thousands and thous-
ands Of citizens are still DISTINGUISHED by the
knowledge and experience Of the past, and
they cannot be rcasSured while power is rep
resented by the persons now in authority
The officials are not only disgrace to our city
and State, but to humanity. All kinds OF
crimes are committed before their eyes, and il
they do not connivc at it, they permit the
guilty to escape unwhipt of justice. False
swearing, fraudulent voting, beating innocent
and unohending citizens, are trivial offences,
and assassination is not considered a serious
crime, provided it is committed by the friends
Of those in power"

The NewburypOrt HeraM thinks Douglas
will be "sent out of reach of daylight and
beyond recovery, unless he has the boldncss
to repudiate the Charleston Convention in ad-
vance, and put himself before the people of
the country for President" To which the
Boston Post says, the Black Republicans have
been very liberal in offering Judge Douglas
advice, but he knows the value Of it too well
to be influenced by what they say. Outside
the organization of the Democratic party, he
well knows, he would be without strength or
influence, n mere instrument in the hands of
his enemies.
