The Gazette s Republican comments
upon the above as follows -
This fair and frank statement of the
history of the CHARACTERISTIC question
effectually disposed of the SANDERS and
Misrepresentation which haVe been gath
cred around it. In particular it contra
diets the>absurd pretence of the Wright
party, that the Democracy when in pow.
er, made judicial appointments without
regard to party. The facts, as stated by
Governor Newell, are we'll known to all
Intelligent men who have paid any atten-
ton to our current political history, and
cannot be contradicted. But there is
another point in these brief remarks that
deserves attention; it is the statement
of the fact that before Chief Justice
Green was re appointed by Governor
Fort, a Wing Senate had already con.
frmed the appointment of two gentlemen
both Democrats-to the same position
Governor Fort was not driven into the
appointment by factious Senate, but
was induced TO make it by the refusal OF
his appointees to accept. Indeed had the
Senate taken the ground that they would
not confirm the appointment Of another
person than Chief Justice Green, no one
can doubt that Governor Fort would
have at once refused to yield to such I'M
constitutional dictation, and that his
party would have sustained him in the
refusal
1.-THE facts of the other case-that of
Judge Vredenburg-are as stated by the
Governor. The Commissioners, appoint
ed by the preceding Legislature, recon-
mended the appointment of two addition
al Circuit Judges; the Opposition had a
majority in the House of Assembly, and
it was agreed that if the bill increasing
the number of Judges was passed, one
Judge of each party should be appointed;
and in pursuance of this understanding,
Governor Price appointed Martin Ryer-
son, Democrat, and Peter Vredenbarg,
Opposition"

Weaver coming under pretty good head

When Weaver got abreast Of him, the

IT'S FALLING OUT.-We give the simplest
and safest preparation known to US:
Take two large handfuls of rosemary
leaves, piece of common soda about
the seize of hazzlenut, drachm of
camphor. Put it in jug. pour on it a
quart Of boiling water, and COVERT close
ly to keep the steam in. Let it stand for
twelve hours, then strain it, and add a
wine glassful of rum. II is then ready
for use. If the hair fall out much, the
wash ought to be applied 20 the roots
with piece of sponge every other day,
taking Gaze to wet the skin thoroughly
Then RIB dry with towel, brush well
and use only as much pomade as will
keep down the short hair soft and glossy
This will keep good for several months
in bottles we'll corked, and a piece OF
camphor in each.

Thanks to the Deity.
BY YOUNG.

Blest be thy hand divine, which gently laid
NY rest, beneath this humble shed.
The worlds stately bark on dangerous seas,
With pleasure seen, but boarded at cur peril;
Here, on single plank, thrown safe ashore,
hear the tumult of the distant throng,
As that of seas remote, OF dying storms;
And mediate on scenes more silent still
Pursue my theme. aud Fight the Fear of Death.
Here, like a shepherd gazing from his hut,
Touching his reed or leaning on his staff,
Eager ambitions fiery chase see;
see the circling hunt, of noisy men,
Burst laws inclosure, leap the mounds of right,
Pursuing, and pursu'd, each others prey;
As wolves, for rapine-as the fox, for wiles;
Til Death, that migoty hunter, earths them all.

October.
BY T. W. PARSONS.


October strews the woodland DER
With many brilliant color;
The world is brighter than before
Why should our hearts be duller2
Sorrow and the scarlet leaf,
Sad thoughts and sunny weather,
All me! this glory and this grief
Agree not well together.
This is the parting season-this
The time when friends are flying;
And levers now with many kiss,
Their long farewells are signing.
Why is earth SO gayly drestl
This pomp and autumn beareth
A funeral seems, where every guest
A bridal garment weareth.
Each one of us, perchance, may here,
On some blue morn hereafter,
Return to view the gaudy year,
But not with boyish laughter;
We sha then be wrinkled men,
Our brows with silver laden,
And thou this glen rest seek again,
But never IL ore maiden!
Nature perhaps forsees that Spring
Will touch her teeming bosom,
And that a few brief months will bring
The bird, the bee, the blossom;
All these forests do not know
Or would less brightly wither-
The virgin that adorns them SO

Make Home Pleasant.

More than building snowy mansion
More than dress and fine array
More than domes OF lofty steeples-
More than station, power and sway:
Make your home both meet and tasteful,
Bright and pleasant, always fair,
Where each heart shall rest contented,
Grateful for each beauty there.
More than lofty swelling titles
More than Fashions Turing glare
More than Mammon's gilded honors-
More than thought can well compare;
See that home is made attrac i've,
By surroundings pure and bright.
Trees arranged with taste and order,
Flowers with all their sweet delight.
Seek to make your home most lovely,
Let it be a smiling spot,
Where in sweet contentment resting,
Care and sorrow are forgot;
Where the flowers and trees are waving,
Birds will sing their sweetest song,
Where the purest thoughts will linger,
Confidence and love belong.
Make your home a little Eden,
Initiate her smiling bowers,
Let neat and simple cottage
Stand among bright trees and flowers.
There, what fragrance and what brightness
Will each blooming rose display
. Here, a simple vine-clad arbor
Brightness through each summer day.
There each heart will rest contented,
Seldom wishing e'er to roam,
Or, if roaming, still will cherish
Mem ries of that pleasant home;
Such home makes man the better,
Sweet and lasting its control
Home with pure and bright surroundings,
LeaS7s its impress on the soul
