W. Davidson, who set themselves up as leaders of the party, were doing all they could to injure aod break the paper down. Mn Davklson, and his family' connexions are always 'before the people of that county, and this senatorial district, at every election, fbr an office, and foiling in getting tlie, nomination, they in varial Ay bolt ami go over to the -whig party. Such was the case, we learn, in regard to the course pursueil by Mr. Da vidian, in 18.52, when he failed to get the nomiuatiou Cjr state senator in placu of II in.

Beu. GrVu.un. The same was the case with his brother, Kli- jaha, who, failing to got the nomination for cir cuit e'erk iu that county, went over to the wliigs and tried to defeat tlie election of Mr. Bdliiigs. a sou nil and unwavering demo-rat, and high-minded and honorable man.

Another reasan, as we learn, why the Democrat was discontinued was because Judge Wea-I, after being supported by the editors of the Democrat elected judge of that circuit, appointed Jas. Davidson, a bitter and malignant personal and political enemy of tho editors tf the Dein'Krat, and who also voted a cat list Jade Weau, to tlie office of master in chancery for that county, thus taking away from the Dnrutcrnt and giv-to the Alias, a largo amount of printing; and thin, Ux, agawat the expressed wish of the entire bar of Monmouth, We hope the new paper abont to be estab lished there will meet with a hearty support from the true democrats of Warren county but we cannot refrain from saying to its propri etors, whoever they may be, to keep clear of such men as tlie Davidson's, for, if what we hear of them be true, they are the worst enemies the democracy of Warren county have to contend with.

Altogether, it speaks very little for the arts in the eleventh centurv showing that in the times of the golden ages in Greece, and ia the luxurious times of the 1 Ionian empire, the substitute tor gUas mirrors (lass itself unknown) were far more tiigldy polislied, more elaborately workei and butter fitted to their purposes han thoseof later agea. -The poets of Home speak of beautiful sheets of silver so highly polished, that' evidently they must have reflected as minutely aa the mirrors now-a-tlaya. There have two mirrors found in polish of which bad, of course disappearexl, but retained in jHsrfeet preservation the earv-d frame, of a graceful and.

intricate design, with all the grotesque conceits whk-h were the characteristics of the two exhumed cities, Pompeii and Iler- culanemn. These mirrors are very heavy. Tlie ladies of those days, however, dispersed with toilet tables, and these heavy mirror were held before them during the whole process of dressing, by a female slave appointed for that purpose. It was a fatiguing and difficult office; tir the Gree. and itouian beauties, especially the latter, appear not to have been celebrated for patience or humanity, for an untowardMgh from the living ftaml sullied tlie surface of tlie mirror, or weariness shook it so as to distort the image it reflected, we hear that long needles (pins we shoidd call them) were thmst by their mistresses, i-to the arms anid shoulders of tlmir attendants.

But this little, dark, clumsy mirror tf He-Irtse, is a thing over which to ponder. In it, as a young girl, she mirrored the sweet and intelligent features which won for her the love of her teacher. A'lelard, aa tlH-y pored over the Latin classici toectber, ami then when beH brief two years of passion were forever passed away, taking this little mirror trorn ber Ihmiio to the titsmal cells of the couvent, she watched tl rough a long of suffering, regret and-prayer the change which crept day by day over her beautiful features. This retie of old times was bought fr a considerable sum by a gentleman of Nancy in France, and will probably bo rpeedily transferred to th museum of antiquities ia the Louvre. Graham's Alti'juzuie.
