previous to her death she called her
weeping husband, children and sis

them to not weep for her, for she was

conducted by the Rev Samuel Fike.
The funeral was largely attended

Around Thy Throne. Almighty God,
Those weeping ones may kneel this day,
Bending to kiss thy chast'ning rod.
Their heartfelt, sacred homage pay.
Grant comfort to the troubled hearts,
Their lacerated feelings calm,
Thy heavenly influence impart,
Dispense Thy overwhelming balm.
oh! reconcile them to their loss,
Which they this day do mourn
Teach them to bear the heavy cross.
As by Thy blessed Son twas borne.

islature for United States Senator Is
set by law for to-day. and as Mr..
johnson N. Camden is the caucus
nominee of the Democrats, who have
large majority on joint ballot, there
seems to be no doubt of his election
on the first ballot. Charges of cor

ination, 1t is asserted, will be brought
forward, but it is not likely they
will be sustained. Mr.. Camden came
within three votes of nomination
on the first ballot in caucus, and On
the final ballot only needed one vote
which was given him by Mr.. Butcher
who had all aleng been an extreme

Intemperance.

This subject, viewed in national
light, presents a fearful Political as.
poet. The ruinous consequences of
wide spread intemperance to PEG
pie governing themselves can hardly
be over. estimated. If there be on
earth one nation more than another
whose institutions must draw their
life. bic cd frem the Individual purity
of it's citizens, that nation is our ewn.
Where the many enjoy little or no
power it were trick of policy to
wink at those vices and follies which
would rob them of both the ability
ana inclination to improve their con-
dition. But in cur country, where
almost every man, however humble.
bears to the.emnipotent ballot.box
his full portion of sovereignty, and
where. in short, public sentiment is
the absolute lever that moves the
political world-the purity of the
people is the only rock of their pelit-
ical salty. We may boast, If we
please, of our exalted privileges, and
fondly imagine that they will be
eternal-but whenever these vices
shall abound which undeniably tend
to abasement, sleeping the poor and
ignorant still lower in poverty and
ignorance, thereby destroying that
wholesome mental equality which
can alone sustain a selfruled people
it will be found by woeful exper-
fence, that our happy system of gov
eminent. the best ever devised for
the intelligent and good, is the very
worst to he entrusted to the degraded
and vicious. The tremendous power
of suffrage, like the strength of the
sightless Samson. so far from being
their protection, will but serve to
pull down upon their heads the tenn
pie their ancestors reared for them.
National greatness may for time
survive-splendid talents and bril-
liant victories may fling their delu-
siye lustre abread-these can illu-
mine the darkness that hangs around
the throne of a despot-but their
light will be- like baneful fame that
hovers over decaying mortality and
tells of the corruption that testers be-
meath. The immortal spirit of Amer
lean freedom will have gone; and
along our shores, and among our
hills-made sacred by the bones OF
the pilgrims and tombs Of the pat.
riots-pvsn these, in the ears oftheir
degraded defendants. shall ring the
last knell Of departed liberty. M
With the exception of this one
hateful vice, which is spreading far
and wide, we may proudly challenge
comparison with the dominion OF
the earth. This gross and besetting
sin, the parents Of so many others, is
a national blot and If it shows the
darker on our escutcheon. that II
pellutes so fair surface, 1t becomes
more imperiously the duty Of every
patriotic citizen to assist in removing
