the solace Of our weary hours, the spir-
it that. when the tolls Of business are
ever, gives us unalloyel pleasure, and
creates in us the c,rability of future
exertion: as mother. she is the centre
Of the domestic circle, as a wife. the
protector of our substance, and the on
iy creature to whom we can fsarlessly
unhosom ourselves. By women our
wants are antici pated, our pleasures
extended, our hopes Of future bliss
strengthened; and without her divine
influence, our present existence would
he too irksome for any protractea en-
durance. In our defence she is the
first to coma forward, the last to leave
us; in our adversely, she is ever the an
eel of comfort and the inspirer of all
that is pleasing and cheerful; she Is
like the morning and the evening star
Of our des tinics, and feels no pleasure

We publish to-day, from the GonssrsGtire, let.
ter from DR.. j. I. Leach narratng the facts in re.
lation to Gov. Vance's endorsement of the John.
ston County resolutions, which were the first in the
State to suggest q Convention. While Dr. Leach
is evidently and very naturally disinclined to en-
gage in controversy as to issue Of veracty, yet
his letter makes the fact perfectly clear that Gov
Vance did endorse the resolutions.
But these are not the only Convention resolu-
tons that Gov. Vance has approved. We have it
on the best authority that A. NJ. Boyle, Esq, can
didate tor the Senate stated in speech on the 4th
of July, in Wilkesborough, that on the 20th of
February Gov. Vance, while in Taylorsville on his
way to Wilkesborough, read and approved CoDVen-
ton resolutions drawn up by him, Mr.. Boyle, and
lavshed much praise on them as the very thing for
the times On the 22d of the same month, at
Wilkesborough, he denounced Convention and
warned the people against itl What must the hon
est people of the State think of such . manH
