What is man - said the Psalmist,
And echo saws" What?''
He blooms ard is blighted
He is and-is not
Like the dew of the morning,
q. Or breath of the Spring.
Or bnbblc Of Ocean
That TEN pest-tOssed thing
Is the life of a mortal,
So like to span,
That the psalmIst, in wonder,
Exclaimed, What is MANI"
But man is immortal,
Tho mortal he be,
Unlike to the bubble
That floats on the sea,
And unlike the flowers
That fade in day,
Or dew of the morning
Soon sun-kissed away:
'Tis dual existence,
Gods wonderful plan;
For the soul is immortal,
And soul is the man.

male and female boarding school with
her degree Of A. B. and pumped down
at the dinner table to renew her ac-
quaintance with her family.

The father contemplated her for a

comes from the fact that the Democracy
have had absolute and t,ndispused con.
troll since the overthrow Of the radical
Tor carpet bag) Governments. The
party has become indifferent, If not cor
rupt. The machinery Of the party has
passed into the hands Of men who have
prostituted it to bestowing Offices to
favorites, at the sacrifice Of the public
wants. This accounts for the fact that
our Legislatures are not representative
bodies, but composed Of men chosen by
rings to enact special laws. and to ad-
vance the aspirations Of Office seekers.
This accounts for the recent short.
comings on the part Of our State
officials. These rely not upon
an intelligent and independent
body Of voters for their support, but up
on the shrewd tricks Of ringsters at the
several court houses in securing in
structions.' Under this evil the press
Of the State has become thoroughly
emasculated- in backbone and
moral courage-and o set Of politicians
by trade and profession have grown up,
scarcely second in pernicious influences
to the swarm Of adventurers which the
reconstruction system brought upon the
South. The remedy for this must be- .
greater spirit OF independence. The
South needs an independent press
more bold, independent public men, to
break down corrupt caucus rule and
study the wants Of the States. We hold
that old parties, and effete customs, are
like old sod-useful only as they are
broken up. We must appeal to the
great body Of the people for fresher and
better material.
I'm conclusion I may add that il the
ticket nominated by our party in their
convention on the Goth ult. should he
elected 1t the election in September
next wo will strive to represent the
whole State, and not to be the servants
OF any particular party or faction. We
will strive to be the servants Of the
State-the people-under the constitu-
ton and laws. II defeated we will sus-
tain the successful administration IN all
its efforts to promote the public veal.
We will approve what is right, condemn
ing what is wrong only, and in all
things show spirit Of charity instead
Of a spirit of captiousness and mere
fault-finding."
