RIaltT.--Tho following is ono of the Rcso,
lutions unanimously adopted by the Wake
County Democratic Convention, on the 8th
inst:
Reso'ued, That W. W. Holden, "who,,
writes himself Governor Of North Carolina"
having declared in his inaugural address that,
"Every o8ioc and employment in tho State,
from the most inferior to tho most exalted,
must bo filled by the friends Of Reconstruction
and Of the new Constitution" thus proscrib.'
ing, for opinions sake alone, the only olasa'
OF our citizens who are either worthy the ooti'-,
fidence of the people or capable Of an enlight.
ened and patriotic administration OF Tho GOV
ernnent, sincerely depreoisting the ptosorfip.
tive spirit which drives us to the ncoossity,'
as defensive measure, Of doing so, and With
no unkind feolings towards those who must
suffer the consequence of tho conduct Of those
whom thoy have unfortunately placed in pow.
or, we hereby plodgc ourselves, in tho future,
to aid, encourage, employ and patronisb Dom
oorats and Conservatives, in preference to all
others, and to protect and defend each other
in the exercise and enjoyment Of all our con.
stitutional and legal rights.

SELF HELP. How futilo' oiten are our on.
dcavors to secure happy, prosperous, or
independent future for those we leave behind
lis. In fact it often seems that extreme cau.
ton in this regard defeats itself. The best
legacy to children is Solf IIclp; bank ktoeR
is nothing to it. That may take wings but
tho energy to which disaster is only an incen-
two to effort, that is of itself fortune Wo
look with tender eyes upon those we love, md
sigh % think We. may, porchancc, not be on
Tho shore when they launch .hoir little bnrks,
forgetting Him who holds the winds in His
lio'''s and regards the fall Of the sparrow
Sad a,good mother.oncc, in reply to such anx-
ioais, fchrs, "I have got beyond that. I'll
should be takon away from my children before
Their maturity very likcly some one who will
SOC faults to which should havo been bliaa,
| will do for them far better than should. I
liavo thought ii all out--and can trust Him."
