The Nashville Patriot.

We have every reason 20 be proud, and
we are proud, of the success of the
PdfTiot We have endeavore TO make it a
paper worthy of the liberal support of the
public, and The length of our subscription
list, and the many fiattering letters we re-
ceive from every section of the State, are
sufficient evidence that we have not labored
in vain. When the Patriot and the Ae'rs
were consolidated, We expected that many
of the subscribers to the latter would order
their names to be stricken from our books;
for such is the case in almost every instance
of the kind; but much to our qualification,
all the readers of the Nears, with only here
and there discOntinuance, are now regu-
lar readers OF the Patriot, and will, we
trust, cOntinue to be for many long dag
to come. New subscribers are pouring in
upon US from every quarter, and cur sub
scription list Las grown 10 be one OF the
very largest that any political paper III
Nashville has ever had. We will not say
the largest, for we do not know what other
papers may have had, nor what they may
have now.
To such OF our lfleluS doFOdu AS Have
kindly aided US in the circulation of the Pa
triot. we tender our beartiest thanks. We are
always grateful for such favors. and have re-
ceived great many such to be grateful for
but We have made, and will make, no pitiful
appeals to obtain them. All that our friends
have done for Us (and many of them have
done and are still doing much) has been done
voluntarily, without solicitation on our part.
We therefore place a higher estimate upon
their kindness, and thank them for it all the
more cordially.
AS we said i'll the outset, we are proud of
the success of the Patriot; and that success
inspires us with fresh determination to rem
der the paper as useful to every class of read
ers as it can be made. Sustained in our Ia
bors by liberal patronage from the public,
cheered in our efforts by the encouragement of
our friends, and gladdened by the fiattering
prospects of a triumph in the cause we ad-
vocale, we can and will carry out that deter
mination.

Philadelphia and New York can give us much
light on the means of redress and protection
The New York Board say: 1t IS the duty OF
every rejecting man to examine into the
public expenditures, and discriminate in his
Judgment upon those who preside over them

rules of the Board, forfeits his situation and

"shall for each offence, forfeit the sum OF S25,

wilfully mi<apply any of the public funds
committed to his care, shall be d. emed guilty

breach of trust.) If the treasurer or any
other officer of the city should misapply the
property of the city, it would be the duty of
the City Attorney to collect it back from
him and of the States Attorney to bring
him before the Grand Jury.
If Superintendent can give away part
of the tuition and not be guilty, then he can
give it all away and not be guilty.

that no one shall surpass him in zeal and
energy in the cause OF BELL and EVERETT
and the Constitution and the Union in the
eity. He has erected Union Pole 50 feet
high. is President of the Fourth Ward BELL
and EVERETT Club, Captain of the BELL
HigbIanders, and he has done nearly all the
hard work in making the arrangements for
the speaking in his Ward tonight. He has
erected a stand and provided a large number
of comfortable seats.
On behalf of his Club, Mr.. CRENsHAw has
expressed determination TO bear off the
banner offered by the Third Ward Club as u
prize to the Club which makes the largest
turnout of members on the first of Septem-
Der, and from the way be has gone to work,
we are inclined to think the determination
will be carried out.

To THE EDITORS OF THE PATRIOT:
Seeing so many Certificate in your paper
of cures made by the Indian Doctor, deem
it my duty to maze known to the public the
benefit my wife has received from the use OF
his medicine. She has been afflicted with
Dropsy for about four years; her body and
limbs badly swollen. We tried all remedies
we could get hold of. She was treated by
five of the most eminent physicians in the
country, but nothing seemed to relieve hei
until she began to take the Indian Doctors
remedies which relieved her Immediately.
l think his remedies for Dropsy are the
best in the world, and should advise all thus
afflicted TO apply to him. o. ELLIS.

1 heard the wall of the mothers grief
When vernal airs were signing ....
The glad return of the bud and the leaf
''My child-my child is dyingi
OH can it be2 my GodI' she cried:
When the lngerer hope had fed
Her heart-striDgs broke with the words she spoke,
"My child-my child is deadn'
l saw the woe that the father felt,
grief too deep for signing;
He groaned in agony he knelt
By the bedside of the d, ing;
He clasped the mother with tenderest care,
But few were the words he said;
He could not control his angushed soul
His darling child was deadI
knew the aged grandmother mourned,
From the heavy signs she heaved;
The little stay was taken away;
She felt indeed bereaved.
The broken little household band
Looked lone and sad that day,
They longed to go to the Happy Land,
Where their sister now would stay.
MAMA - prattlirg sister cried,
81 am going to Heaven too,
When am as old as sister who died;
Say, mother, would not youE''
And brother said with tears in his eyes,

And while mS Borrowing spirit smarts,

1 knew the child was lent to the earth,
a link to the sky she was given,
And the day of her death was the day Of her
birth
An angel was born in heavenI
I knew she was lent by her gentle words,
BY her meek and loving eye;
She could not stay any longer away
From her beautiful home ia the sky.
But human sympathy now is vain,
For broken hearts we know
The Hand Divine alone bind
He ieels our every
We will go to him like Jairus OF old,
We will trouble the Mas ag.in,
For Tcsus is able and will console
The afflicted children of men;
We will tell Him Sour Ii. tie daughter is dead
He will comfort him who weepeth:
His answer receive-''OnIy believe
The maid is not cead, but sleepeth."
