The Patriotism of Woman.
ET JIRS. SIGODRNET.
How shall we aid thc lnnd we love ?
O'er dusty tomcs to pore?
And cntcb ihe warrior's wrathful mood
From Amazoniau loro?
No, sistcr, no.
Amid the strife of angry minds
With lifted voice to rove?
Or where tho long procession winde,
Boldly to nitx and raove?
No, sistcr, no.
Iu our own place, thc hcarth besidc,
The patriot's heart to chcer,
The young unfolding mind to guidc,
The future age to rcar,
Where slecps the cradled iufaiit fair,
To watch with lovc, and kneel in praycr,
Soothe each sad soul with pity's smile,
And frown on every lateiit wile
That threats the pure, domestic shade;
Sbters, best our life shall aid
Tho laud we love.

And proud of hcalth and rrcedom vain,
Dreamcd not ofsorrow, carcorpain;
Concluding, in those liours of glee,
That ali the world was madc for mc.
But when the days'of ttial came,
When sickness shook thistreinblingframe,
When follj's gay pursuits were o'er,
And I cjuld dance anu sing no more,
It then occurred, how sad 'tirould bo.
Were this world only made for me!
The Good Resolution,
nv MISS S. C. EDGARTO.V.
Quite away from thc dusky turnpikc,
and across swcet-smelling dover fields, in
a small, quaint, moss grown house, dwclt
Job Wodell and his daughter May. Job
had becn a fisherman in his better days,
but, sad to lell, had becn drawn away
from his honest occupation by the scduc
tivecharms ofthe village inn. There hc
might be found from carly morniiii; till
midnight, scarce turjiing his sleps homc
ward to the frugal meals prepared by his
patient child, and leavinc with hcr the
whole care and toil of providing for their
family ucccssities.
Happy was it for May, poor girl, that
hcr heart was as bravc and hopeful, as it
was patient and loving. W hoever passed
her door on a bright spring morning,
might hear hcr voice, singing congs as
sweet and mcrry as though she had not
a care orsorrow in the world. Anu that
little quaint old cottage, who would have
deemed it the homeofan invcteratetip
pler, with its neally swept grass sward.its
bed of Iragrant cnniatious,its honey-suck-
les, azalias, and moss-roes.
Job lored his daughter May was
proud of her and, save his grcat neglcct,
always trcated her with kindncss. In his
worst stages of inebriation, he exhibited
nophasis of cruelty; he was only exces-
sively and shamelessly silly, and disposed
to lavish ou May a world of foolish and
fondling caresscs. May, in turn, was al
ways gentle and patient with her fathcr,
never reproaching him for his vile ab
its, but often tenderly p.ntreating him to
Etay and assist hcr about her garden, or
to spend the long winter evcnings with
her, instead of hurrying away to the 'Ad
miral.'
One very.bcautiful spring morning.Job
stuck his old hat jauntingly on one side
of his head, and stood crowding the to
bacco into his pipe, erer and anon cas
ting a wishful look toWard May, who was
busiiy wiptng thc brcakfast plates.
'Can I do anything for you, father?" said
she, looking with a pleasant anu encour
aging smile.
'Ay, you're a good girl, May, a blcss-
ed girl 1 I hate to trouble you butjust
Howl'm all out ot change anu a curse

can't get trusted for a shilling to save
him from want.
'Dear father, I will willingly giveyou
what little money I have, but if I do we
shall bc forccd to go without dinncr or
sltpper, I fear.
'Are we really grown so poor as that 1
Ahwell! thcse are melancholy times
for us poor fishers. 111 not take your
money, May; I can wiu a shilling from
Ned Watkins, any day, at ninepins, and
that will bceasier thau torob jou.'
'Oh, papa! ifyou will not go to the
Admiral, to-day, but will help me plan
out my little garden, and transplaut those
fine strawberry vines that yield us so
inany clollars every year Oh, dear papa,
1 cannot tellyou how happy you will makc
me, how vcry gratefully I shall remember
the kindncss.'
'Little need of my asslstance.'answcred
Job, with a good-natured Iaugh, and a sly
wink, tbat sent the bright blood gushing
all over May s dimpled cheeks. 'loung-
er and steadier hands are all at your
Ecrvice, and an old man Jike me would be
m tne way.'
'Oh, no, no, papa !' said May, earnest
Jydropping her work and clasping her
arm in his, at the same time, lifting up
her beaming, tearful eyes most implo

'You are a good girl, May,' said he,
pattmg hcr head, and kissing her white
forehead with parental delicacy ; 'you are
a good girl, and I wish I were a inore
worthy f ithsr. But let me go now, dear,
and I will be soon back again to help
you.' With this promise, he tore himself
away.

Wilhont going furlhcr nith this innttcr,
Mr. Speakcr, I have read rnough to aflortl
an iiccuratc idea of this sjsicrn of organizn
tion. That it wonld be most rfleetivc in prac
ticc, is obrions, when it h rem-mbercd that
there arc in eery ronntj, fnnte who. from
iudecision of charatlrr, may be pernnadcd
iuui-uiaiuii ui tiiiirjcirr, maj ne perdnancd

coine by thc influei.re ofwhat are callcd"re
frcshmcuts," r.r othcr mcans. This nr somo
similar plai: of brganization was ndiipti d iu
many parts ol thc conntry. In the State of
Tcnucssce, as I have beon infnrinrd by what
I regard as lirt-rate democratic nuthority, thc
following wns ihc modcrelicd on:
There are abont fificen hnndrrd ciril dis
tricts in that S'Kire, in rach of n hich there is a
preeinct forvoting. In each fthe$cdisirirts
the democratic pjrtysclectedfiveiudividuals,

chanic two voter in each district. wliii hin
thc whole wonld nmonnt lo lhrce thousand

side. wouM make a ditTcrence ofsix IhocsauU
iu tho rcsult. Ily this means they hopcd to
ovcrcoine themajnrity of fonrthnusand nhirh
had becu east against Mr. I'olk the year pre
vious. That thisscheme fniled, solely owing
to lhe f.ict that in that Siate the Whigs were
more zealous, more nctire, nnd better oigan
jzed than they were in any other State. Noth
ing gircs such confidcuce and spirit tn an
individual, as a knowlcdge that his cfTorts
will be srconded and sustained by all the mcm
hers ofhis party. It is a similar feeling which
gives-courage to a soldier going to baltle in
lhe ranks ofveterans.whnm hc knows and con
fides in. ihat hc would not feel in the mijst of
a body of raw militia.
The Ieading mcmhers of the Democratic
party, tcing in the late canvass well awaro
that the systcm of Whig policy was approvcd
by a majority ofthe peopleof thcUniun.and
that llicir umnii.ee had also a vast persoual
superiority in the ejiimation of cvciy body
over Mr. I'olk, felt that thc issue, if detcr
inincd wiih rc'nect cither to meagnresnrmpir.

as many votts as posMblofor their candidale.
and showcd themselves devoid of allscruplri
as to the mode iu which these vutcs ncre lr

But Mr. Speakcr, onr opponents ch'd not

won over all the varions smaller factinrs nf
