"Ah. but" says one. "if you plant
grain OF corn, does no. the corn die ?"
No. The form may decay and 60 to
dust. but the active. vital principle Of the
grain shoots forth to a uevuess of life
and beauty far excelling the mouldering
kernel from whence it sprsng. So with
man. 1t has been appointed by the
Saviour OF the world that mon shall die
NOT literally. but 6guratively-so
that when the time comes for Us to burst
the bands Of our prison house. we may

A new Democratic organ is about to
be established in this city, under the
management Of Willism Ridenbaugh &
Go. The Gazette. which closed its exis-
tence at the opening Of the rebellion, is
about to be resuscitated. Mr.. Ridenbsugh
started the Gazette in 1S45. and cold 1,

disloya'iy. believe he acted upon prin.

convictions for l have ever known him
to be a gentleman of integrity. Socially,
like him. but have no affinity with him

do not think Ridenbaugh & Co.
will make the Gazette pay if conducted
decently. from the fact that the "orean''
now here seems to suit the tastes of the
people remarkably well-else why does
it live. and daily boast of its. growing
greatness ? An article appeared in one
of its daily issues Of last week, foul

standing and worth in the community
Democrats though they may be-endorse
this sheet as faithful exponent Of their
principles.
Any paper, whether Democratic OF
Republican, care not. which descends
to low. vulgar. blasphemous billingsgatt

out and "whistled down the winde."
Any party, "Republicau or Democrat.
