From the Ladies’ Companion for July. THE GERANIUM PLANT. Flowers have a magic power to re touch the associations of other days. Though our path may have led over the steep and thorny places of the world, for many years, ye*, the unexpected sight of the pale grass flowers, and yellow king cups, we gathered in chiidhood, brings back the cool fragrance of life's early morning. If the wearied traveller chance to find in foreign climes such plants as he called by the singing brook ofhis na tive glen, tlie broad-leaved iris, or the briglc crimson lobelia, straightway he is a boy r again, and shreds them fondiy into his mother’s lap. The hoary woman, unto whom there remaineth little, save the arm-chair in the chimney corner, and the oft repeated counsel to her shouting grandchildren—if she see, among its lus trous green leaves, the pure white (,'ar mella, remembers the thrill with which its cool petals drooped over her son head at her bridal, and is lost amid the wan derings of a fairy land. The smile, or the breath of our famil iar home-flowers, restore to us, in after life, the careless innocence of those days, when half in ignorance, and half in faith, we planted the rootless stem of some rich blossom, that had been given us, and heaped the fresh soil tenderly around if, and watered it every moment—and vis ited it with hope, until it was as brown and dead as the mould by which it was encompassed. They recall the reckless curiosity with which we dug up the bulb of our tulip, or tube-rose, and found them busy at their work of germination, which our impatience interrupted—perhaps de stroyed. Distant places and absent friends are brought near, by the touch of the same talisman. The odor of a pressed flower, between the leaves of a long closed book, restores the voice, the form, of the loved one, who placed it there, whose home may now be in the tomb. 1 had sought the sweet trailing arbutus among the wilds of my native place, when life was new, and a box of it recently performed a journey of many miles to visit me. The moment it was opened, while its fra grance almost overpowered every sense, every breathing blossom spoke of the rocks which we used to climb in pursuit of it—and of the rough, falling waters that filled every pause in our merry voi ces, and then suddenly my playmates stood beside me, their baskets overflow ing with the gifts of early spring, them selves still young and spring-like, though on the heads of some, I knew that the frosts had settled, and that over others, rested the green sod. Still more eloquent was a slender plant of the rose-geranium, which accompanied me, somewhat more than two years since, on my way to an Older World. It was taken from her quiet bed, in her garden, by my little daughter, as the parting time drew near, with the remark, that “some thing green might look pleasant to me on the sea.” And so it did. Hut I im agined not then the depth of commun ion it would call forth. For the home spirit was iu its heart, and it became to me as a friend. Sometimes when eve ning closed in over the deep, with those heavy sighs of the wind which often be token a coming storm, and the ship leap ed and plunged amid the billows, as if seeking for a place to escape, or a depth to hide in, I have drawn closer to that weak plant, as if its love might comfort me. Or at waking in the morning, and raising my head from the coffin-like berth where the dark hours had passed in such broken slumbers, as the hoarse lullaby of the surge induces, I have fixed my eyes first upon that solitary plant, and spoken softly to it as to a child. Yet it was ev idently in an uncongenial atmosphere, and the delicate branches grew sad, and faded. I numbered its leaves, but almost every day some of them grew sickly and fell, until, at last, only a few - were left clustering round a single, graceful stalk. We had been thirteen days and nights upon the great deep—and accomplished nearly two thousand miles of our watery journey; when I awoke at the grey hour of dawn. I remembered that, the first anniversary of the death of my beloved father, and beckoned the solemn imagery to meet me amid the waves. At once every circumstance of that scene gleamed forth as in a picture. His venerable head, resting upon its white pi, low, the brightness of his beautiful hair, on which fourscore and seven winters had scatter ed no snows, his heavy breathing ming ling with the slow dropping of the sum mer shower upon the vine-leaves at its casement, and the steady ticking of the clock through that lonely night, while bending over him, I hoped against hope, that the sudden illness might not be mor tal, and that the form, which but the day before, had moved with so vigorous a step, would yet rise up, and lean upon its staff*, and come forth to bless me. The rain ceased, a circle of faint brightness foretold the rising of the sun—those pre cious lips uttered again the sound of kind words—the opening eyes told their mes sage of saintly love—the lids fluttered and closed. There was no more breath. A waill—Another—piercing and pro tracted—deeper even than that with which an only child mourns the last par ent. It must be the wail of a mother. No other sorrow hath such a voice. Yet so abmptly it burst forth, amid surround ing silence, that, for a moment, memory was bewildered, and the things that had been, mingled their confused tissue with things that are. Among our passengers was a dignified and accomplished lady, returning with her husband, an officer, from a residence of several years in Canada, to England, their native band. They had with them three little daughters, and in the course of those conversations, which beguile the tedium of sea-life, she had sometimes spoken of the anxiety with which her aged mother waited to welcome these de-! aceodauts, horn in a foreign clime, whom, 1 of course, she had never seen, and so ex quisite was their beauty, that it would not have been surprising, had a thrill of pride, beigtend the pleasure, with which she painted the joy of such a meeting. The youngest was a babe of less than a year, and we, who often shared its play ful wile, fancied that it had grown lan guid, as if from some inherent disease. Vet, its large black eyes still beamed with strange lustre, so that neither parents nor nurse would allow that aught affect ed it, save what arose from the change of habits, incidental to the coufniem at of the ship. Yet, that night, the mother more uneasy than she was willing to con fess in words, decided not to leave its cra dle. In the saloon, adjoining our state room, she took her place, and when we retired, the fair infant lay in troubled sleep. Yet, even then, the spoiler was nearer to it than that watchful mother; and ere the morning, he smote it in her arms. We lound her clasping it closely to her bosom, as if fain to revivify it with her breath. Masses of glossy black hair, escaping from their confinement, fell over her shoulders, and drooped as a curtain over the marble features of the dead. Mingled with gasps of grief that shook her like a reed, were exclamations of hope, that hope, which clings and cleaves to the wounded heart—striking its fibre, wherever the blood-drop oozes, and striving like a pitying angel, to staunch where it may not heal. “Con stance! Constance! look at me. Oh, my dear husband, she will live again. She has been sicker than this, once, when you were away. Yes, yes—she will breathe again.” Long she contin ued thus, assuaging her bitter sorrow, with this vanity of trust, and then we tenderly strove to loosen her convulsive grasp from the lifeless idol. After we had prevailed, and it was borne from her sight, we still heard in the pauses of the soothing voice with which her husband sought to console her, the wild cry, “She will breathe again! John 1 John! I saw her sweet lips move when they took her from me. My baby will live again 1” It was laid out on our sofa, in the la dy’s cabin, in a pure white robe, its brow surpassingly beautiful, and the deeply fringed lids but imperfectly closed over the large lustrous eyes. The black lace veil of the mother shaded its form and features, and through it was clearly visi ble, the last green slip of my rose-gera nium. It was my gift to the dead, and pressed into that little pale hand not wiihout a tear. This was the last office of that cherished plant, which had left its own home, in the quiet gardens of New England, to do this service to faded in nocence, and itself to die. Happy shall we be, if, in the closing of our own frail life, we, like this ■trembling voyager, leave beliin 1 a gleam of light and conso lation, as the olive leaf above tha flood, or the dove, whose last act w r as peace, ere it entered rejoicing into the Ark, to be a wanderer no more. INDORSEMENTS. It* the following statement of the Tier aid’s last money article is of extensive application, it indicates, in our opinion a most desirable change in the practice of banks. As far as the security of the banks is concerned, indorsement is a tho rough humbusr, while it so inextricably involves merchants wih each other, that the failure of one is a signal for a gen eral explosion—going off* like a package of Chinese crackers.— Char. Mercury. “ There is apparently a great chance going on in the relation of banking to general business. We allude to an evi evidently growing disposition among leading merchants to take advantage of the present repleted state of the banks, and, in conducting large mercantile trans actions, to take the notes of known deal ers, payable to their own order, and pro cure their discount without endorsement. This is Iron a fide business paper, but is “one name” paper, and as suen creates some opposition, and alarms many of the banks; but it is matter of debate, wheth er the security of the bank is not equally as great, by confining every man’s busi ness within his own means, aud respon sibility, as by requiring two or three names, and thus forming knots of mutu al endorsers, whose collective liabilities arc much more likely to exceed their col lective means than would die aggregate of individual debts, resting each on its own base. If. through the influence of the leading merchants, this system comes to be generally enforced, the duties and responsibilities of bankers will be greatly increased, and the business thrown more into the hands of those shrewd private ! houses most capable of appreciating the ' standing and real business wants of those | seeking discounts. It is this tact and general knowledge which renders the I business of the Parisian bankers most safe and profitable to themselves, while it is most beneficial to the regular mer chant.” From ?he Baltimore Sun. OREGON CONVENTION. A Con vend an of Delegates from the Sfates in the Valley of the Mississippi, was held in Cincinnati on the 3d, 4th, and sth iust., to take into consideration the propriety, &c. of immediately settling the territory, with other matters which might come before it, in relation to that interesting section of our republic. The following resolutions and declarations comprehend the matured deliberations and final action of the Convention.— They are the most important documents put forth. Col. Richard M. Johnson was President of the Convention : Resolved, That the right of (he Uni ted States to the Oregon Territory, from 42 dog. to 51 dog. 40 min. north latitude, is unquestionable, and that it is the im perative duty of the General Government, forthwith, to extend the laws of the Uni ted States over said territory. Resolved further , That to encourage migration to and the permanent and se cure settlement of said territory, the Con gress of the United States ought to estab lish a line of forts from the Missouri riv er to the Pacific ocean—and provide also an efficient naval force for the protec tion of the territory and its citizens. Resolved , That for the purpose of ma king known the causes and principles of our action, the following declaration is i unanimously adopted and now signed by \ the memliers of this Convention, with instructions to the officers thereof to trans mit a copy to the President of the United States, and to each member of Congress —and also to the Executives of the sev eral States, with a request to present the same to their respective legislatures: A Declaration of Citizens of the Mis sissippi Valley , assembled in Con vention at Cincinnati, July olh, 1843, for the purpose of adopting such mea sures as may induce the immediate occupation of the Orregon Territory , by the Arms and Laws of the Cnited States of North America. We, tl e undersigned, citizens of the Mississippi Valley, do hereby declare to our fellow citizens of the whole Repub lic, that in urging forward measures for the immediate occupation of the Oregon Territory and the Northeast coast of the Pacific ocean, from 42 deg. to 54 deg. 40 min. north latitude—we are but perform | ing a duty we owe to ourselves—to the ; Republic—to the commercial nations of ! the world—to posterity and to the people of Great Britain and Ireland, not as we l believe to be benefitted by the further ex tension of her Empire. Duty to ourselves requires that we should urge immediate occupation of the Oregon, not only for the increased an ex | tension of the West, but for the security lof our peace and safety, perpetually threatened by the savage tribes of the Northwest. That this duty is required 1 of us as due to the whole Republic—all I parts of which may not appreciate, as they seem not to have appreciated the value of the territory in question and its political importance to the h< nor, pros perity and power of the Union, to say nothing of our commercial interests and naval predominance, threatened as they are with injury or diminution should the Northeast coasts of the Pacific ocean pass into possession of a great naval power. That as an independent member of the great family of nations, it is due from us to the whole commercial world, that the ports on both coasts of this continent should be held by a liberal government, able and willing to extend and facilitate that social and commercial intercourse which an all-wise Providence has made necessary for the intellectual improve ment, the social happiness, and moral culture of the human race, j That we owe the entire and absolute ! occupation of the Oregon to that poster ity which without such occupation by ! the citizens, laws and free institutions of our great Republic, could not profit or make available to themselves or to the world the important considerations above set forth. That however indignant at the avar ice, pride and ambition of Great Britain, so frequently, lawlessly and so lately evinced, we yet believe that it is for the benefit of all civilized nations that she should fulfil a legitimate destiny: but, that she should be checked in her career of aggression with, impunity and do minion without right. That for the independence and neu trality of the W estern coast of the Amer ican Continent, and the Islands of the Pacific ocean, it is important that she should be restrained in the further exten sion of her power on these coasts, and in the middle and eastern portion of that ocean. That so far as regards our rights to the territory in question, we are assured of their perfect iniegrity—based as they are on discovery and exploration by out own citizens and Government, and on purchase and cession from those powers having the pretence or the reality of any right to the same. That beyond these rights so perfectly established, we would led compelled to retain the whole territory in accordance with Mr. Monroe’s universally approved declaration of 1832: THAT THE A MERICAN CONTINENTS WERE NOT TIIENCEFOUTH TO BE CONSIDERED SUBJECTS FOR FUTURE COLONIZATION BY A NY FOREIGN POWER. Influenced by these reasons and con siderations so important to the West and the whole Republic—to liberty—to jus tice and free government, we do subscribe our names to this declaration with the firm, just and matured determination ne verto cease our exertions till its intentions and principles are perfected, and the North American Republic, whose citizens we are, shall have established its laws, its arms and free institutions from the shores of the Pacific to the Rocky Moun tains, throughout the territories above specified, and we do hereby protest as we shall continue to protest against any act or negotiation, past, in process, or here after to be perfected, which shall give possession of any portion of the same to any foreign power, and above all do we remonstrate against the possession of any part of the Northeast coast of the Pacif ic Ocean by the power of Great Britain. [Signed by Col. R. M. Johnson, Presi dent, and ninety citizens of six States in the Mississippi Valley.] HARD TIMES—THE CURE FOR THEM. Industry and frugality—work harder and spend less. Never confound econo my, which is a virtue, with stinginess, which is a vice, and often the very oppo site of economy. Make your money tie foie you sjiend it, and don’t buy a thing liecause it is cheap; nor imagine fora moment, that extravagance and gentility have any necessary, or sensible connec tion. We have too many young men amongst us, who seem to think idleness a badge of high life, and the best mark of finished manners to loaf in soda shops and billiard rooms, spending their inher itance on frivolities, or more, running up debts they are never going to pay, for aught depends on them. If these would remember that labor in this country is honor, and idleness disgrace, and only spend on their brains one half they waste on their backs, the times would be as ea sy again as they are, and society be stock ed with valuable men to fill its high pla ces, and lucrative employments ; where as but too many we see bartering their reputations for perishable dross, and melt ing 'heir substance away by keeping up a blaze of gentility to the world, which a little puff of scorn will soon extinguish, leaving nothing of them but an unsavo ry snuff*. If we might advise them, it would be in those lines of Ben Johnson, which we should like to see stuck up at every popular lounge and fashionable comer of the whole town.— Ch. Merc. “I’ll have yo'i sober , and contain yourst ls, Not that youi sail be bigger than your boat; But moderate your expenses, now al first, As you may the same proportion still: Noi stand so much on your gentility, Which is an airy and mere borrowed thing From dead men’s du-t and bones, and none of yours, Except you make or hold it.” DEMOCRATIC PRINCIPLES. Tlios. Jefferson lays down the follow ing principles: The people, the only source of legiti mate power. The absolute and lasting severence of Church and State. The freedom, sovereignty, and inde pendence of the respective States. The l nion, a confederacy, a compact, neither u consolidation nor a centraliza tion. The Constitution of the Union, a spe cial written grant of powers, limited and definite. The civil paramount to the military power. The representative to obey the instruc tions of his constituents. Elections free, and suffrage universal. No hereditary office, nor order, nor title. No taxation beyond the public wants. No national debt, if possible. No costly splendor of administration. No proscription of opinion, nor of pub lic discussion. No unnecessary interference with in dividual conduct, property, or speech. No favored classes, and no monopolies. No public moneys expended except by warrant of specific appropriation. No mysteries in Government inacces sible to the public eye. Public compensation for public servi ces, moderate salaries, and pervading economy and accountability. MOTHERS A.\D DAUGHTERS. It was a judicious resolution of a fa ther, as well as a most pleasing compli ment to his wife, when, on beiti? asked by a friend what he intended to do with his girls, he replied: “1 intend to ap prentice them all to their excellent moth er, that they may learn the art of improv ing time; and be lilted to become like her, wives, mothers, heads of families, mid useful members of society.” Equal ly, just, but bitterly painful was the re mark of the unhappy husband of a vain, thoughtless, dressy slattern. “It is hard to say it, but if my girls are to have a chance of growing up good lor any thing, they must be sent out of the way of then mother’s example.” CASUALTIES, MURDER, Ac. in FOUR MONTH3. Some readers of the New York papers kept an account of casualties, &c. chron icled therein which took place in the United States during the four first months of the present year, which he published. A correspondent of the United States Gazette has taken up the subject, and added thereto those which have come under his notice since, from reading a multitude of newspapers from almost ev ery State in the Union, viz: a record from January to July, 1543. Six hundred and twenty-eight houses and stores burnt, with a part of their con tents, estimated at three millions of dol lars. Nine hundred and fifty accidental deaths ; about one half drowned most of which occurred on the < hio and Missis sippi rivers, and on the lakes. A portion were emigrants going to the Far West. Two hundred and filteen murders, by guns, pistols, bowie knives, &c. Fifty-six by fire arms imprudently handled. Forty-five by clothes taking fire. Forty-six by lightnng. Forty-three by falls from horses, up setting of carriages, &c. Eighty-six by suicide! THIS IS THE GROUND WE STAND UPON. The Albany Argus, a paper that is conducted with a correctness of judg ment and an integrity of principle which commands the confidence and admiration of the democratic party, says— “ So long as the members of the demo cratic party keep singly in view the re instation of democratic measures, rather than the elevation of any particular indi vidual, so long will they be united against every intrigue and firebrand the whig party attempt to throw among them. The declaration (made by the Charles ton, S. C. Mercury,) that, if “ there is any devision in the democratic party, it will be before the convention, not afterfi cannot be too strongly inculcated. The results of the Baltimore convention will he considered a contract binding upon all the persons who are parties to it. This is becoming the understanding of the democratic party in the south as well as the north.” Never speak of a man’s virtues to his face, nor of his faults behind his I a)k. ADVERTISEMENTS. M. S.

M’MAKEN & HOLDEN. PROSPECTUS OF THE CHEROKEE ADVOCATE. THE undersigned, at the solicitation of many friends, proposes »o publish, in the village of M.irit-tta, Cobb County Georgia, a weekly newspaper under trie above otle. He is assured ilia' a well conducted nev\spap« r i8 much wanted in this region, and so iar as hishtunhlo efforts will go, should he meet with encouragement, Ihe Advocate shall add to the reputation of the Chero kee Country, affording as ir does, the most sa uhrious clime, with a fertile and productive soil, not surpassed in ffie Union. The Advocate wid he decided in its poli ics, while at t e same time due res »cet will he paid to the opinions of rlmsc who may diff r with us. Be ieviog in a srnct construction of the t onsiifuuon, as the onlyaure guar antee to the Institutions of the rf«»uth, and of the two great parties now before the country, that the Demo cratic Party, with John . Calhoun at its head, is the one on which to look (or the carrying out those prinei ides, the Advocate will support the principles of that Party, and the man, w hoever he may he, selected hy the National Convention to carry out iis principles.
