ssLlmlxenaale,s im Agency,

Friday evening last the Republicans and few
house and listened TO spicy, racy speech, which
was delivered by the individual who writes for
the Hawk-Eyc over the above non4ne de plume.
The speech was about half spoken when the pre-
sent writer stepped in, but he was pleased with
what he heard. "Linkensale". is humorous, as
your readers are aware, but while he INDUCES in
the !aughable, one can easily discover that he
loves to dwell upon the graver side Of the great
question
He showed how the modern Democratic par.
ty has deviated from the noble way, and
eschewed the principles and examples Of the
fathers from Washington to Polk, until it's
house is dividing, part crumbling under the il
lusion of Buchanan and part quivering under
the weight Of that great pseudo principle Of
Douglas, perhaps never more to be reunited
He arraigned the Administration for ''high crimes
and mis,lemeanors," and while he was stating his
reasons the writer thought what bright page
would be bound up in the history Of this nation,
should some American Burke rise aud impeach
James Buchanan,
Tie spoke well Of Abraham Lincoln, and
utterly ignored the idea that the Republican party
desired to elect him President because he once
split rails; and showed his greatness from the
fact Of his possessing talents that lifted him from
the humble position Of rail-spli.ting to the ex
allied one he now occupies. Democrats say his
speech amounted to nothing, and that such Re
publican speeches would increase the number Of
their party; but il the angel Gabriel should
come here and make Republican speech, these
wise Democrats would say the same of him.

SELECTED POETRY.

TheGS;rIs and the Wives.
Somebody has written the following ani set il
afont:
God bless the girls,
Whose golden curls
Blend with evening dreams:
They haunt our lives
Like spirit wives,
Or-Gs naads hasn't the Streams
They soothe Our pans,
They FL our brains
Hi.a dreams at summer hours
God bless the giIlF
God bless their curls
God bless our human flowers
The wives think, are quite as deserving of n
blessing the girls; therefore We submit the fol-
owing:
God bless the wives,
They fill our hives
With little bees and honey;
They case life's shocks,
They mend our socks
But-dont they spend the money!
When we sick,
They heal Us quick
That is, if they should love US;
If not we die,
And yet they cry,
And place tombstones above u.s.
Of roguish girls,
With sunny curls,
We may In fancy dream;
But wives-true " YES
Throughout ur lives,
Are everything they seem.

DAILY ROUGU NOTES.-We have received the
first number of the Daily Rough Notes, issued at
Goldsboro', by VIM Robinson & Son, Editors
and Proprietors. 1t is the size of the Pro-
gress is democratic in politics, but will not de-
vote itself entirely to party to the exclusion
of general news. Of Mr.. Robinson as a talen-
ted and spirited political writer it is useless for
us to speak; his connection with the press here
tofore has made him we'll and favorably known
But the people of Goldsboro' and of Wayne are
the parties most to be benefited by the success
of this enterprise, and they will study their own
interest by giving it that liberal support which
will place it permanent basis. We hope and
trust it may succeed, and think it will. The
wants of Goldsboro' require Daily paper and
there is no more favorable point in the State to
make good

Poor Charleston I pity her. What has she
done that she should oe overhauled and fred into

that her quiet citizens and their placid modes of
life should be made the subject of impertinent in
quisitiveness; that her little local peculiarties
should be comically exaggerated, and all her in
habitants made the nine days butt and wonder
OF all the people of these United States Pre-
pare to suffer, unhappy city Already are news
