4 OF the Northern States. In any event,
this, movement of the Pennsylvania de-
serters for separate democratic. organi-
zation now leaves scarcely visible loop
hole of escape for the distracted and dis
joined democracy in 1860. feii
The treaoherous and rebellious courses
of Northern and Southern democratic
leadeas in the late refractory and dis,
graceful democratic Congress have brought
upon the party this gloomy state of things.
Mr.. Buchanan's domestic and foreign
policy, had he been cordially sustained by
the democratic majority in each house of
Congress. would, have consolidated the
party throughout the country But the
bad faith and reck kless folly of one clique
upon the Lecomption question, of another
upon the Mormon army appropriations,
the filibustering question, &C., and of
another upon the revenue and tariff pol
icy of the administration. have practically
broken up and disbanded the national
democracy, and left them to the mercy of
their enemies. In this connection, the
last act of saving grace on the part of the
administration-its late decision against
an extra session of Congress-will proba-
bly, only expedite that incurable disaster
which Mr.. Buchanan has been so anxious
to prevent; the final dissolution of the
party. ....- a.e,J ,9r
The new conservative opposition move
ment in Virginia thus receives new i'm
pulse of encouragement; and thus, before
the end of May, we may have the begin
ming of new diversion which will con-
found the wrangling democracy and the
exulting black, republicans, and put in
active motion general and wholesome
popular revolution. We are in the midst
of the spring freshets, and the broken
fragments of the democratic party appear
to be drifting down to sea with every
flood

The Union.

The following is the conclusion of a
speech delivered by John NJ. Bolts, of
Va, on the 25th of February. 1t breathes
spirit of devotion to the Union, which
we greatly fear is becoming too rare in the
present day. With all our heart we say
amen to its sentiments 4.',r
"And now, in conclusion, let me pro-
pose that here, on this occasion, on the
birthday of Washington, in his name,
and in the presence of his spirit, we re-
new our protestations of undying devo-
ton to that great work of his hands, the
Union Of Me States, and pledge ourselves
to each other and to mankind, that "come
what, come may we will ldiscountenance
and repudiate all men and all parties that
encourage or sympathize with, or tolerate
any scheme for the destruction of our
liberties, by dissolution of our great
and heavenly descended Union, and that
we will hold all men as traitors and enc
mics to the best gift favored people ever
received at the hands of Deity, who have,
by word or deed. under any condition of
things that have yet existed, or that is
likely to exist, entertained the fiendish
purpose of breaking up this great con-
iederacy of States, or have,
Like FOOLS rushed in where angels might fear tread
and impiously ventured upon a calcula-
ton of its value, whilst with "our lives,
our fortunes and our sacred honor" we
swear to protect the stars and stripes
through life, or make it our winding sheet
in death" ..r

The Unpaid Vow.

He was sick--he was near unto death
and the world was receding from him
and hope was like dying taper--and
sore as was the ibody's agony, it was not
like that pang the soul felt when the pros
pect of parting was before it, and the re-
memberance of the sunny day and the
starry night, and spring with all its ava
kened beauties, and the charm of friend
ship, and the exultant feeling of health,
and the comfort of home, and all that
enchains to life, all to be left behind,
came to his heart-Oh! it was a confused
mingling of pain, and regret, and dread
All was dark--all was wild. He "chater-
ed like the swallow" When he cried
unto God, and petitioned Jesus. And
when his strength failed he moaned pit.
eous prayer; and "Oh" he said, "if
might be spared, if God would but raise
me up, would sin no more, and / would
never forget his goodness, l would be faith
full, and my whole life should be demon
stration of my thankftilness." And God
heard and raised him up, and once more
he went forth to the world. But the
promise he made to his Maker, he broke;
and in the oath wherewith he purjurcd
himself; and'when one reminded him of
that which should have burned upon his
memory, he smiled my soul, come thou
not into his secret, mine honor, be thou
not Joined to his assembly"

The Sunset Land.

o, dimly through the mists of years
That roll their drcary wave between,
The gorgeous Sunset Land appears
Arrayed in hues of fadeless green.
And from the far-off sunny cline
Old half-forgotten songs arise;
And stealing DER the waves of Time
The sweetly lingering music dies.
As some bright island of the sea,
Forever blooming-ever fair;
Though cold, dark pillows round it be, I'D
Eternal sunshine hovers there.
Thus DER the silent sea of years
Our eager, longing looks are cast
Where robed in fadeless Spring appears
The sunlit Alden of the Past. .
There memory wcaves her garlands green
Beside the loved hope e-hauntod shore;
And musing mid the Arcadian scene,
Twines flowers that bloom for us no more.
Oh! hallowed cline! blcst Land of Love!
Sweet Paradise of early dreams!
Still thro thy wales may fancy rove,
Still bask beneath thine evening dreams!
And there they dwell; those cherished ones
With snow-white brows and waving hair;
/ sec them now-I hear their tones
OF sweetness sigh along the air.
Hark! how their silvery voices ring
In cadence with the winds low sigh;
Not swecter is the wind harps string
That wakes at eve its melody.
They call us; sec, they wave their hands
As by the mirage lifted high ~
That cline in all its beauty stands
Against the forehead of the sky.
With wreathed brows--with laugh and song
With tender looks-hands clasped in hand
They move along-that low-linked throng-
Within the haunted Sunset Land.

A BRIDEGROOM PARDoNED.-Leroy Evans,
of Caroline County, Virginia, was recent
ly sentenced to one year imprisonment in
the county Jail, for swearing that the
young lady he married was over twenty
one years of age, when she wasn't. The
opposition of the lady's mother to this
match caused the exposure and imprison-
ment of the groom. A petition to Gov
ernor Wise, and the extreme youth of
the prisoner, procured his pardon. .,

five months since the wife of Jacob Alb

six weeks old, when two ofthem sickened
and died. The remaining six are still
living. They were all small specimens Of

Amt PLEAsED.-The editor of the Lew
isburg, Marshall county, Southern Senti-
mel, a new democratic paper, is not pleas
ed with the currency plank in the demo-
cratic platform adopted here on the 18th
inst. Hear him: 1--WE ask the attention
of our readers, to the examination of the
Democratic State Convention. We dis
like to dissent from anything that has
come to us from the leaders of the party
yet feeling that we cannot express any
thing but our honest sentiments, we think
that the currency resolutions entirely ir-
revelent to the wants and necessities of
the people. 1t is tender-footed resoltl-
ton and inconsistent with the time honor
ed faith and principles of the Democratic
party.
We honestly believe that the major por-
ton of the Democrats will not endorse it..
We will give our objections in full next
week. a a.

New "HooP DISEASE. "A new disease
has made its appearance since the intro
duction of hoops. 1t exhibits itself only
in cold weather, and then is only discov-
cradle in cities where the buildings are
warmed with furnaces. Two ladies were
standing over register the other day,
talking and laughing, when one endeav-
oring to sit was suddenly attacked and
screamed violently. The other soon also
tried to sit, and was attacked in the same
manner. The explanation is that by
standing SO long over the register, their
metallic hoops became heated to such a
degree that when they attempted to be
seated, it was like sitting on a hot g,iairo,.
OF course they were not great length OF
time getting up again, and naturally
enough uttered screams-all of which
would be very mysterious to locker on.
