Letter from Hon. Thomas W. Thomas.
Elbbrton, Ga., Aug. lu, 1857.
Mu. James A. Sledge — Dear Sir: When I was
'n Athens last week, you remarked that many of
our friends misunderstood my position in relation
•to our candidate for Governor, and that the impres
sion prevailed to some extent, that my late letter
to the Constitutionalist was calculated and perhaps
Untended to influence the public mind against
Judge Brown. You requested that I would write
you on this point, and permit the letter to be
published. I willingly do so, and you arc at
liberty to publish what I shall say, if you think
proper.
I have no inclination to have my name paraded
in, the newspapers, as the writer of letters for the
public eye, and I trust this may be the last time it
will be necessary to do so, during the present cam
paign. I am under no obligation to any party,
and I am resolved never to abandon that position
of personal independence. The right to say and
publish what l believe to be the truth, I shall never
abandon, but shall maintain, cost what it may. A
freeman ought to despise himself, if he took coun
sel of his fears, when treachery stalked abroad,
and duty to his country demanded that he should
•peak out. When I gave my views and opinions
to the public, in a late letter to the Constitutional
;V, and subsequently in a communication signed
“ Troup,” published iu the daily of that paper of
the 6th inst., I knew as well as I do now, that vil
ification aud abuse would be heaped upon n»e.
Ignorance of me and my motives, causes some of
them so to act; they will become better informed
’a a few months, aud l doubt not will acknowledge
%„the injustice they have done me. The others I do
not regard. I am perfectly indifferent to their
praises or curses. Like mAnkeys, they will bite
any body for the one who holds them. Mr. Bu
chanan holds them now, and they bite me; if I held
them, I could as easily make them bite him.
How sisal* an impression us you spoke of could
have prevailed, is hard to explain. In my letter I
sav, “ But where will you go and w hom will you
join? This question has been pressed bv some
who would have us succumb to power and yield
cur rights. For myself, I will join no cue—l will
go no where. The Democracy of Georgiu, by a vote
of more than twelve to one, have adopted sound
southern principles, and we.have a candidate who
expresses his cordial approval of them. Let those
who wish to surrender to the Administration look
out for some place to go to and some party to join.”
l should think this language was explicit enough
io satisfy even the most suspicious that I had no
ambition to become the head of a new party, or to
bold the Democracy of Georgia responsible for the
treachery of the man who has deceived them by
violating his pledges, still less to visit upon the
head of Judge Brown the sins which Mr. Buchanan
nas committed.
Why should I not support Judge Brown *? lie
has not denounced Mr. Buchan airs conduct, as I
have felt it my duty to do, audio that respect he
does not agree with me; but there is not a word in
his letter of acceptance or in any published account
of his speeches that indicates his intention to repu
diate the third resolution. I know it has been
baid by the opposition papers, that bv saying he
approved the platform ot principle#, he intended to
avoid expressing any approval of the third resolu
tion. I cannot believe Judge Brown would
be guilty of so flimsy a trick, and I will not re
tiiy to such criticism. 1 presume the author of
this philological feat, himself, does not believe it.
Holding, then, my opinions of Mr. Buchanan, can
I trust Judge Brown in refusing to denounce him V
My answer is, I can; and for several reasons which
I will give you. lie has expressed his approval of
he principles adopted by the Democratic Conven
tion. He, perhaps, has not yet lost ail hope that
Mr. Buchanan will yet develop some policy or give
-some reason for what I regard as downright trea
son to his solemn vows and pledges. 1 have lost
this hope utterly. lam deliberately convinced'he
is resolved on our ruin by betraying us; but I
nee hoped differently. When I voted for the
thirdTesolution, I did not doubt Walker would be
. etnove l. Now would it be jus*, or sensible in me
to desert Judge Brown because he cheishes this
bone longer than I find myself able to?
But suppose Judge Brmvu had lost all hope, and
itili refused to denounce our enemy, ought we
then to desert him? I think not, so long as he
agrees with us substantially, in principle—l say
: übstudially, because exact conformity even in prin
ciple is not always to be had betweeu a candidate
aud those who vote for him. Now. Judge Brown has
approved the principles of the Democratic conven
tion, just as we wrote them, unci shall I oppose
him because it does not comport with his judg
ment of what is proper, to use or approve denun
ciations which I thought and still think are just,
righteous and w ?
In addition to these reasons, I think it a matter
•of nc small importance to maintain the Democratic
party, State and national, so long as they maintain
our 'rights. Our present complaint agaiust Mr.
Buchanan is, that by fraud and management, he
.s endeavoring to deprive the South of Kansas, and
vet, outside of the National Democratic party, I
presume there is not a man to be found at the
North who was, or is, in favor of removing the
Missouri restriction, which was a total, aud intend
ed to be an eternal prohibition of the right of
slaveholders to emigrate to that part of the public
lands. We must not forget this fact, in m king
war on Mr. Buchanan. He has deceived us, and
we ought to meet him with a stern and indignant
opposition. But he is not sustained in his lute
conduct by the Democratic party of a single Slate
in the Union, and until he is, it would be unjust
and hurtful to the interests of the South to quar
rel, for his treachery, with those North or South
who united with us in his election. Individual
members of the party have sustained him, both
North and South; but it is not safe to judge the
Democracy or any other party except by the acts
and principles of their candidates, and the resolu
tions of their conventions. Judged by these, I
am authorized to say the Democracy have not yet
sustained the unlawful conduct of the President.
If they should do so, then the Democracy will be
come "no better than the Black Republicans; and
la that event, I see no reason why they should not
nominate Fremont for Buchanan’s successor, for
they will have deserted the only principle that dis
tinguished them from Fremont’s par y.
There is another view of the matter that ought
uottobe lost sightofby those Democrat* in Georgia
who have lost all confidence in the President, and
are determined, to the utmost of their ability, to
make him know and feel their opposition, by vot
ing against his friends. We have two parties in
Ge .u rg [?’ and ia . probability shall have but two
the Democratic and American. The Democratic
P* by the action of its convention,
stands all right, in plain and unmistakable opposi
tion to the conduct of Buchanan—let us inquire
where the American party stands on that subject.
I’u their late convention, the American party
say “ we have seen nothing which we regard as
new” in what the Democrats regard as walker’s
treachery; and further, th ttt «: principles main
tained, and the policy advised, are identical with
the principles forth in the Kansas-Nebraska
bill as advocated by the National Democracy, with
the Cincinnati platform, and Mr. Buchanan’s ieiicr
of acceptance and inaugural address.*"’
Here is a full statement of their position on this
subject, extracted from the record of their proceed
ings. If they are right in this position, neither
A\ alter nor Buchanan has done wrong, and the
American party are bound to sustain them. In their
convention, in 1855, the American party endorsed
the principles ot the Kansas bill, except the alien
suffrage feature, in the strongest and most explicit
language, even to the extent of declaring that all
opposed to those principles were unfit to be party
associates of theirs. Now, if there is nothing
new to them in Walker’s policy, if “the principles
maintained and the policy advised are identical
with the principles set forth in the Kansas-Nebras
ka bill,” aud they are in favor of those princi
ples, as they solemnly declared they were in 1855,
where is the wrong done by Walker, and what
excuse can the American party give for not sus
taining him ?
But, it may be said, perhaps, in answer to this,
that t lie Kansas bill had two constructions—a north
ern and southern one. This is true, it had the two
constructions—the South held that the Terri
torial Legislature had no power to exclude slavery
while in a Territorial condition, but that this could
only be done when they came to form a State Con
stitution. Some men at the North, on the contrary,
held that tiie Territ* rial Legislature had the pow
er to admit or exclude slavery.
The American party claimed, that in their reso
lution at Macon, iu 1855, they endorsed the princi
ples of the Kansas bill, according to the southern
construction, excluding the power of the Territo
rial Legislature over slavery, which they called
squatter screen ignty. We will admit this, and
that such was the sense in which they intended to
be understood. Mr. Buchanan held the same opinion,
distinctly, in his inaugural address. In that docu
ment he plainly adhered to the southern construc
tion; and if it be true,as the late American convention
declare, that the principles of the Kansas bill, as
advocated in the inaugural address of Mr. Bu
chanan, are identical with the principles and policy
of Gov. Walker in Kansas, then the conclusion
■ cannot be resisted that the principles and policy of
Gov. Walker are identical with the principles and
policy of the American party in 1855, and they did
him nothing but justice when they declared they
saw “ nothing new ” in those principles.
This construction of their late resolution and
past history is inevitable; the language used is too
plain for equivocation or denial, and yet a member
of the American convention told me two days ago,
that such was not the mcauing intended to becon
• veyed. This is doubtless true, so far as he is con
cerued, and it may be true as to the others. If it
is, there are but two possible explanatians of the
language used—either the convention totally forgot
what they had done two years before, or they m
‘ tended to be interpreted by the rule of contraries,
that is, to be understood as meaning exactly the
reverse of what they said.
I doubt not the American party in thus endors
■ mg Walker, did not truly represent thousands of
i voters iu their own ranks—yet the battle must be
I fought and decided on the principles respectively
declared. Bv that light, the verdict will be con
strued here and in other States; and thus con
L strued, the election of the American nominee
tor Governor, will be a strong endorsement
, of Walker’s conduct by the people of Georgia.
I lam aware that Mr. Hill* in his letter of accept
. ance, speaks as a true southern man should ot
Walker and his conduct, thus going as far as a
' party man could go against his party, in retriev
l ing their sad mistake ; yet in the same letter he
[ makes obeisance to the obnoxious resolution, and
says there is no word or act of bus life in conflict
with it.
In view of these facts, I think it w ill be conceded
f that the Democratic party of Georgia, and their
[ candidate, must get a great deal worse titan they
, are at present, before we can reasonably expect
any advantage to the lights of the South* bv sup
-1 porting the American nominee in preference to our
own. Very respectfully,
Thomas W. Thomas.

Troup.
If Gov. Johnson should appoint Troup, Judge
of his Circuit, and in the administration of his
office he should wilfully (not a «upposable case,
| except for argument,) violate both the statute and
; Constitution, does that make Got. Johnson guilty
l of perjury under his oath to support the Constitu
-1 tion? Ifit does not, then is Buchanan not guilty
of perjury in Walker’s alleged violation of the
’ Kansas act ; and Troup, so famous for his chival
i ry, ought to take back on that point.
’ But his complaint is, taat Walker is not remov
, ed. Why not? It is said the people of Kansas
approve his course. Troup impresses my mind,
; that he intends to bo understood, that Walker is
responsible, having brought about the state of
things that now exist in Kansas. Now, if I were
[ talking about Troup in such language as he uses
; about Walker and Buchanan, on a charge of this
1 sort, he would demand some proof of the truth of my
[ charge; if I could produce none, I would have to
, take back. He has offered none. Ought he not to
take back ? Polk.

Mr. Editor —Dear Sir: I notice in the Temper

‘ gentlemanly and false, concerning my piece signed
i “Fair Play.” It is due to the American parly of

Mr. Editor —Dear Sir: I notice in the Tcmper
i atice Crusader , a piece written by the editor in re
ply to “ Fair Play,” The Crusa
| der says “Fair Play” is in error all the way through,
and seems to have labored very hard to manufac

• admit, but not so much as the Crusader , for it lies
’ most awfully when it says the moti nto invite the

unanimously.
i There were not ten in the court-house outside
ihe D nocrats, who would have voted for the mo

He says Maj. R. L. McWhorter moved that B. 11.
Hill be iuvited by the American party, and that
the opposite party be requested to invite Judge
Brown to meet Hill at that point.
This is not so. Maj. McWhorter moved that the
> American party invite their candidate, and let the
Democratic party invite Brown, if they wanted
him there. There was no committee appointed to
notify the Democratic party of any such resolu
• tion.
i The Crusader lies, when it say’s their party knew
; the object of our meeting, for numbers came up
and asked the object of the metting.
I think if the Crusader would write on temper

Squatter Sovereignty—Extract from the
Decision of the Supreme Court cl* the
United States in the Dred Scott Case.
But until that time arrives, it is undoubtedly
necessary that some government should be es
tablished, iu order to organize society, and to pro
tect the inhabitants in their persons and property;
; and as the people of the United States could act in
• this matter only through the government which
• represented them, and through which they spoke
1 and acted when the Territory was obtained, it was
1 not only within the scope of its powers, but it was
■ its duty to pass such laws and establish such a gov
• eminent us would enable those by whose authority
l they acted to reap the advantages anticipated from
1 its acquisition, and to gather there a population
which would enable it to assume the position to
1 which it was destined among the States of the
Union. The power to acquire necessarily carries
7 with it the power to preserve and apply to the pur
-1 poses for which it was acquired. The form of gov
• eminent to be established necessarily rested in the
r discretion of Congress. Jt was their duty to estab
lish the one that would be best suited for the pro
tection and security of the citizens of the United
States, and other inhabitants who might be author
ized to take up tluir abode there, ami that must al
ways depend upon the existing condition of the Ter
ritory, as to the number and character of its in
• habitants, and their situation in the Territory.
, In some cases, a government consisting of persons
appointed by the federal government, would best
subserve the interests of the Territory, when the
inhabitants were few and scattered, and new to
one another. In other instances, it would be more
• advisable to commit the powers of self-government
. to the people who had settled in the Territory, as
being the most competent to determine what was
! best for their own intetests. But some form of
■ civil authority would be absolutely uecessary to
organize and preserve civilized society and prepare
. it to become a State; and what is the best form
must always depend on the condition of the Terri
tory at the time, and the choice of the mode must
• depend upon the exercise of a discretionary power
» by Congress, acting within the scope of its con
s stitutional authority, and not infringing upon the
, rights of persons or rights of pi operty of the citizen
' who might go there to reside, or for any other law
• ful purpose. It was acquired by the exercise of
i this discretion, and it must be held and governed
’ in like manner, until it is fitted to be a State.
( But the power of Congress over the person or
property of a citizen can never be a mere dis
• cretionary power under our Constitution and form
of government, and the rights and privileges of the
citizen are regulated and plainly defined by the
Constitution itself. And when the Territory be
comes a part of the United States, the Federal gov
• eminent enters into possession in the character
. impressed upon it by those who created it. It
I enters upon it with its powers over the citizen
strictly defined, and limited by the Constitution,
1 from which it derives its own existence, and
; by virtue of which alone it continues to exist
. as a government and sovereignty. It has no
power of any kind beyond it; and it cannot, when
it enters a Territory of the United States, put off
1 its character, and assume discretionary or despotic
■ powers which the Constitution has denied to it.
; It cannot create for itself a new character separated
, from the citizens of the United States, and the
duties it owes them under the provisions of the
Constitution. The Territory being a part of the
United States, the government and the citizen
both enter it under the authority of the Con-
I stitution, with their respective rights defined and
marked out; and the Federal government cun
exercise no power over his person or property
beyond what that instrument confers, nor lawfully
deny any right which it has reserved.
A reference to a few of the provisions of the
Constitution will illustrate this proposition.
For example, no one, we presume, will contend
that Congress can make any law in a Territory
respecting the establishment of religion, or the
free exercise thereof or abridging the freedom of
speech or of the press, orfthe right of the people of
the Territory peaceably to assemble, and to peti
tion the government for the redress of grievances.
Nor can Congress deny to the people the right to
keep and bear arms, nor the right to trial by jury,
nor compel any one to be a witness against himself
in a criminal proceeding.
These powers, and others, in relation to rights
of person, which it is not necessary here to emi
’ me rate, are, in express andjiosi live terms, denied
’ to the general government; and the rights of pro
perty iiave been guarded with equal care. Thus
i the rights of property are united with the rights of
. person, and placed on the same ground by the fifth
I amendment to the Constitution, which provides
that no person shall be deprived of life, liberty,
aud property, without due process of law. And
i an act of Congress which deprives a citizen of the
. United States of his liberty or property, merely
because he came himselfor brought Ins property
into a particular Territory of the United States,
■ and who had committed no offence againat the laws,
■ could hardly be dignified with the name of due
. process of law.
So, too, it will hardly be contended that Con
fress could by law quarter a soldier in a house in a
erritory without the consent of the owner, in time
‘ of peace; nor in time of war, but in a manner
[ prescribed by law. Nor could they by law forfeit
. the property of a citizen m a Territory who was
convicted of treason, for a longer period than the
life of the person convictd: nor take private
property for public use without just compensation.
The powers over person and property, of which
we speak, are not only not granted to Congress, but
are in express terms denied, and they are forbidden
to exercise them. And this prohibition is not
confined to the States, but the words are general,
and extend to the whole Territory over which the
Constitution gives it power to legislate, including
• those portions of it remaining under territorial
government, as well as that covered by States.
It is a total absence of power everuwhei'e within the
of the United States, and places th^itizen
of a Territory, to far at these right* are concerned on
the same footing with citizens of the states, and guards
them at firmly and plainly against any inroads which
the General government might attempt, under the
plea of implied or incidental powers. And if Con
gress itself cannot do this—if it is beyond the powers
conferred on the. federal government —it will be ad
mitted, we presime, that utould not authorize a Ter
ritorial government to exercise them. It could con
fer no power oitany local government, establihed by
its authority, to violate the provisions of the Con
stitution.
It seems, however, to be supposed, there is a
difference between property in a slave and other
property, and that different rules may be applied
to it in expounding the Constitution of ftie United
States. And the laws and usages of nations, and
the writings of emiueut jurists upon the relation
of master and slave and their mutual rights, duties,
and the powers <*nich governments may exercise
over it, have been dwelt upon in the argument.
But in considering the question before us, it
must be borne in mind that there is no law of na
tions standng between the people of the United
States and their government, and interfering
with their relation to each other. The powers of
the government, and the rights of the citizen
under it, are positive and practical regulations
plainly written down. The people of the United
Stales have delegated to it certain enumerated
powers, and forbidden it to exercise others, It
has no power over the person or propertv of a citizen
but what the citizens of the United States have
granted. _ And no laws or usages of other nations,
or reasoning of statesmen or jurists upon the re
lations of master and slave, can enlarfn? the powers
of the government, or take from the citizen the
rigli ts t hey have reserved. And i f the Constitution
recognises the right of property of the master in a
slave, anu makes no distinction between that de
scription ot property and other propertv owned
by a citizen, no tribunal,acting under the authority
of the United Mates, whether it be legislative ex
ecutive, or judicial, has a right to draw such a’dis
tinction, or deny to it the benefit of the provisions
and guarantees which have been provided for the
protection ot private property against the encroach
ments of the government.
Now, as Wtj have alreadV said in an earlier part
of this opinion, upon a different point, the right of
property in a slave is distinctlv and expressly af
firmed in the Constitution. The right to traffic in
it, like an ordinary article of merchandise and pro
perty* was guarantied to the citizens of the United
States, in every State that might desire it, for
twenty years. And the government in express
terms is pledged to protect it in all future time, if
the slave escapes from his owner. This is done in
plain words—too plain to be misunderstood. And
no word can be found in the Constitution which gives
Congress a greater power over slave property , or
which entitles property that kind to less protection
than property of any other description. The only
power conferred is the power coupled icith the duty of
guarding and protecting the owner in his rights.
Upon these considerations, it is the opinion of
the Court that the act of Congress which prohibit
ed a citizen from holding and owning property of
this kind in the Territory of the United States,
North of the line therein ‘mentioned, is not war
ranted by the Constitution, and is therefore void ;
and that neither Dred Scott himself, nor any of
his family, were made free by being carried into
this Territory, even if they had been carried there
by the owner, with the intention of becoming a
permanent resident.

August 10th, 1857. )
Messrs. Editors: Probably it would interest some
persons to know the prospects of the crops in this
section. Corn crops are generally good; there
will be an abundance of the staff of life. Wheat and
oats have turned out well. Cotton crops are gen
erally poor, and from four to five weeks later than
ordinary years. The excessive wet weather has
caused the plant to run too much to weed, and very
little fruit. We have had some tvventy-tive days of
continued wet weather, and not a day within that
time but what we have had more or less rain, and
some of the heaviest showers I ever recollect of
witnessing. On the 17th July, 1853, I sold a bale
of cotton in this market; in 1854, I had a bale
picked on the sth August; in 1855, I had one
ready for market on the 7th ; and on the 3d of Au
gust I sold a bale in Americus in 1856 ; and now,
the 10th, 1 have not a boll open. It will be the Ist
September before any cottou will be open sufficient
to commence picking. There must be some great
c hange favorable to the maturing of the plant, or
the crop will be short. Mark my prediction: the
cottou crop of 1857 will fall under three million of
bales. I am «atisfiedT that my crop has fallen off
fully one-fourth, and many others to the same ex
tent.
Mills Stoppkd.— The number of cotton looms
thut have stopped in New England, in consequence
of the high price of <uy|rj, aud the low price of
goods, is about six and orders have
been given to stop mriWUfe, as'fast as the yarn
runs out. We heard Ifftelv of two large mills that
will run only till the cotton now in process of
manufacture is exhausted. This is the only
remedy. We talk of the short supply of cotton.
The evil is not there ; it is the over supply of cot
ton machinery. The looms now in operation are
not only too many for the supply of cotton ; they
are too many for the demand for cotton goods at
anything like the prices which alone, at the pres
ent cost of the raw material, can return a new dol
lar for an old one. In England, thirty thousand
looms have been stopped, and prices have quickly
responded to this judicious curtailment of produc
tion. — Providence Journal.
COMMERCIAI 7.
Augusta Market, August IH—I P. M.
COTTON.—The stocks are ao much reduced, and the quan
tity offering for sale so very limited, that we deem it unnccus
sary to say but little. Some small lots find buyers for home
factories at prices ranging from 14% to 10* cents. There are
some parcels of Cotton on the market limited at 16 cents, but
dealers show no disposition to pay such a price.
The Crops. —We find some difference of opinion, among in
telligent planters, as to the probable effect, on the growing
Cotton crop, of the long continued wet weather. Immediately
followed by the extreme heat of the present time. Some
farmers think that the weed will grow rank and shed its forms,
while others think differently ; although we have heard none
express the opinion that the crop would exceed that of last year
in their localities.
HEAVY COTTON GOODS.—These commodities are held
at full prices, in consequence of the gradual appreciation of
the raw material. The stocks arc light. We quote for Augus
ta Manufacturing Company’s goods, 7-8 Shirtings, 8 cents; l-l
Sheetings 9*; 7-3 Osnaburgs 14* cents. For Belleville and
Richmond Factory goods, Osnaburgs 12*; Stripes 13* cents.
BACON.—There appears to lie an indisposition on the part
of holders to sell, unless at an advance. Shoulders arc scarce,
and during past week advanced fully a cent a pound. We
quote for Shoulders 14011* cents; Clear Sides 18 cents;
Western ribbed 16016* cents. The business is mostly con
fined to supplying plauters’orders; but in large wholesale
operations lower figures than we report would have to be sub
mitted to.
CORN.—The stock of Com is light, and former prices fully
maintained. We quote $1 to $1 10.
FLOUR.—Neither buyers nor sellers have much confidence
in Hour, and prices continue to decline. City Mills Superfine
are quoted nominally at $7 50. and Extra sß®#B 50. Country
brands are dull of sale, and, in fact, all kinds of flour, in
quantities, can he bought at less than our quotations. "We
hear of some fine brands of flour, Superfine, offe ring at §6 500
Vj 75.
WHEAT.—There is a large quantity of this article reaching
our market, and railroad depots are full, and temporary sheds
arc erecting to store the large daily receipts over the Georgia
railroad. We quote for Red $1 20®$1 30. and for White $1 30
(•ill 40, sacks included. Large lots of 10,000 to *20,000 bushels

but few sellers. The last sale we heard of the Bank of Augus
ta stock, was seventy-five shares at par and interest; Georgia

previously refused to accept, resulting in the sale of upwards
of 2600 bbls. at s7* and si* * bbl.
Bacon. The supply is so much reduced that the little that

. Bagging. —There has been some inquiry for Gunny Cloth
since the date of our last report, but very little has been done

OBITUARY.
> Died, at the residence of her father, in Elbert count)', Ga.,
; Mary Adella, third daughter of J. M. and Mary L. Carter,
. aged six years, si ven months and twenty-six days. The illness
’ which closed the brief life of this loved child, continued ov**r
1 two months, and was attended with acute suffering, which she
bore with gentle patience. The angel who so often visits our
green earth has born* to the Hissful bowers of paradise a bud
of fairest earthly promise to bloom there in immortal beauty.
!* Little Tumpy, the name she was best known by, was a child
-of a rare loveliness of person and character, gay. gladsome and
strangely winning. What wonder that during the few sunny
years of her bright life she had entwined herself about the
innermost fibres of her parent’s hearts. Blessed from infancy
with buoyant health, rosy, bright, and sparkling with mirth,
s HO stain of earth had ever darkened her fair brow until the
spoiler set his seal upon it. The dark and dreary blank now
created in the family circle, whose brightest link Has thus been
r severed, words cannot tell; but the darling babe on whose
precious form even the breeze might not blow too roughly, is
safely housed from every stonu. C.
*• ’Tis the work of many a dark hour, ami of many a prayer
to bring the heart back from an infant gone.”
80 think the loving parents of little Clara who
£ died in Warrenton, on Friday, the 7th of August, instant, aged
eight months and seven d ys. She was the infant daughter of
James L.. and Lilly Ann Cody, and the first and only pledge
1 of affection. Bes re her infant lips could lisp a mother’s name,
or know a mother’s love, the spoiler came, aud the little rose
bud. so often regaled by a parent’s smile, droops aud dies.
Hearts of the youthful parents bleed at the afflicting stroke,
