This morning the wind is blowing per-

that frequented these parts have been ac-
companied with heavy rains. Some, and
among the number myself, had sor,er
concluded 10 never mind the weather so
it did not rain, but this morning all are
willing to adopt the sentiment Of the
poet: "never mind the weather 80 the
wind don't blow" So you see but few
are satisfied entirely with matters and
things as they occur, bpt nevertheless,
any person is somewhat excusable for

that suits them better. This is = mos,

which, We hope and believe, is to Iber.

fined to cases in which the whole peonl,
of an existing government may choose
to exercise it. ANY PORTION O
