The exile iren Is the tliorny path
Of life ; the tear.-: roll down hie cheek ;
The storm above is big with wrath,
And all around looks cold and bleak.
Who can paint the oorrowing one.
As clouds of prierhang on bis brow ?

Where life serins dark and dreary now.

The still sad hour which bids me part.
In tempest o’er the southward seas.
My mother’s Itfve will follow me,
Through ev’ry crooked path and lane;
As well upon the stormy sett,
As on the fruitful, quiet main.
The sweet, soft voice which once did greet
My sounding footsteps at the door,
Still lingers on my ear as sweet.
As Once it did, though now no more.
The good old book, so often read.
When nighther curtain dung around,
Shall he a star above tny head,
To lead tny step* to belter ground.
Though life seems dark and dreary now.
And kindred hearts are fill'd with grief;
I’ll kiss the rod and meekly bow,
And wait for Him to send relief.
The eye of her whose eyo is love.
Shall make that little dwelling dear;
And Providence who rules above,
Shall save them when the tempest's uear.
Farewell! farewell! but not forever—

That death's cold fingers ne'er rasy sever
The ties that bind us in heaven’s sphere.

THE HYPOCHONDRIAC AMD THE PRESS.
BT THOMAS HOOD.
There wns a Squire Foxall, n martyr to that melancholy
humor called Hypochondriasis, and who was cored by the
Press. Many a serio-comic scene there was between the
master and his man lloger. a confidential servant of the old
school, shrewd, trusty, snd as blunt as a spade.
••Well, Roger,” the master would say, after a very long
and solemn shaking of his besd. "I am going at last.”
••Glad on it—to Swaflham in course?”
‘‘No. Roger, no—to another world.”
••What to Ameriky V
■•No, to another and a better one, lloger, to the land of
spirits.”
“Ah, that's along o’ missin your brandy—you be low, yon
be.”
"Not so low as I shall he. lloger. I'm at death’s door—
I hare double knocked and atn scraping my shoes, and it
will soon be, walk in; Now, Roger, remember when I’ui
gone that Mr. lirewiny—”
"Yes, Yes—I know. He have got the last of your last
wills. Your nevy will come into the land, and your nice is
to have your personal bulk.”
“No. Roger; that was the will before. I've made another
since then—but no matter. I’ve done with money and land.
All I require now is a little turf.”
"Well—there'a a whole stack on it i’ the rickyard, and
when you’ve burnt o' that—”
“Never, Roger, never! I’m burnt oat myself—quite
down in the socket, and shall go off like a snuff.' I am rea
dy. Roger, for die gamer.”
•‘Yes,yes. and corn for the sicke, and grass for the scythe
and a ripe plum for the basket, and a brown loaf for hopping
the twig. I know all that by heart.”
"I'm a dying man, Roger, and you know it. I haven't
twelve hours to lire—no, not six, before I pay the debt of
nature.”
"Hang the debt o'natur! I wish you had none to settle
hut hern. But it arn’t doyet, it am’t."
"Due and over due, Roger. The receipt's made out,
snd before to-morrow you will have another master.”
"No, I shan’t; I harn’t had no warning."
"But I have, Roger. Here, feel my pulse. It stopped
just now (or two minutes and a half. The circulation is at
n stand still, the heart cannot perform its functions.”
"All moonshine, master. It's performing its funking* »t
this minit. It’s going as regular as an eight-day-clock—I
can a’mosthear umtick,”
"No, Roper—that’s impossible.”
“Is it 7 Then why do Doctor Darby try to bear it with
his telescope?”
"Stethoscope, Roger—ste-thos-cope. There may be hy
pertrophy for that. But you know I can’t argue with yon,
My lungs are quite gone—quite!”
"No wonder, you’ve been blowin ’em up this ten years.”
"They’re destroyed. Pulmonary consumption has set
in—”
"Yes,yes, I know: they’re full of tobeiroses.”
"Tubercles, man, and my liver ia in no beuer stite.”
"No; they’re schismatic. And you’ve got an absence in
your inside—”
“An abscess.”
"Well, an abscess in your stomach, and can't digest pro
perly for want of grass and water.”
"A deficiency ofthe gastric juce. It is all too true, Roger.
Every organ I have is outoforder."
“Tlien J would'ntplay on’em. Well,wbatnext? Why,

i aca .
laudable determination -tomake the fabric not seem lobe,
but to be in rejlity, good, has acquired i reputation for N
Carolina goods, second to none in the whole country. It
a little singular, however, that this reputation is as yet great
est in the Northern Cities and Western States, where peo
ple make a more careful examination as to the capacity for
service, than is usually made in the South; and that compar
atively a small portion of these fabrics is sold at home,
whilst they are in great dem’d abroad. A day seldom passes
without bringing to some of the Factories in this Town ap
plications for consignments to some of the first Commission
Houses in New York, Philadelphia and Baltimore. Ana
it is a fact, that on one day of last week, no less than fiv
such applications were jeceivedbythe President of one con
cern. from Philadelphia and Baltimore. These represent
the sheetings manufactured here as being much inquired for,
and the writers ns being willing either to purchase or re
ceive on sale.—Unfortunately, the prices ol all goods nave
been so low for several years, that little or no profit has ac
crued to the proprietors; but they have established a repu
tation which will be of good service whenever business re
vives. os we beliere it is now gradually doing.
In this town ar.d vicinity there are aix Factories, viz :
The Rockfish, which «ost about $127,000
Phccnix, ' 60,000
Beaver Creek, 60,000
Little Rock, 30.000
Mallcu’s. <0,000
Cross Creek, 30.000
In all about $347,000
The stout brown sheetings manufactured by the three
first named ate well known. The fourth has just commen
ced weaving a ve.y strong and heavy osnaburgs, (weighing
halfa pound to the'vnrd,) and (he two last make yarn only.
We would be glad to see more of these goods consumed
at the South; but it is in be regretted, that by far the larger
portion goes to the North, there to be sold to those who re
ject thejr own flimsy stuffs. (wAirA Southern people buy.)
An immense amount ol profits and commissions, each way
would be saved to the South, if the South would encourage
its own manufactures.—Fayetteville Observer.
The Influenza.
The Influenza, or whatever the prevailing epidemic may
he called, is now spresdingaud prevailing to an almost alar
ming extent. In the United States Court, bis Honor Judees
Betts. Mr. District Attorney Hoffmin, Charles Betts, Esq.
the clerk; Mr. Commissioner Mutton; the crier, &c. are all
taken down with this epidemic. Air. Hoffman was taken
very ill immediately on leaving the New Haven boat, from
Staten Island, on Monday. About seventy of the sailors on
board the Independence, are also taken down with the same
disease; indeed, no one seems to escape its attack. The
late sudden changes of weather are of the most dangerous
character to health, unless the greatest possible care be used
ih respect to one's clothing. ’Beware of currents of air,
and thin clothing, and sudden changes.—A’. Y. Herald.
Sound the A In l-iii!
Treason is the Camp.—The Whig champion is in
danger!—Disguise itas they will, and treat it with as much
contempt as thev please, the Clay politicians and presses
are well assurer! that a deep game is playing in nearly all
the eastern States to withdraw Mr. Clay from the track and
unite scattered forces and conflicting masses of the whig par
ty upon John M’Lean, of Ohio.
At this time a general correspondence is going on to pro
duce this result, harmoniously if possible, and if necessary
force it against the inclination of Mr. Clay. The ablest and
most active of the whig leaders are engaged in the measure,
some of whom are opposed to that individual on persona]
grounds, but most of them on the plea that he is not "avail
able-” New York, Philadelphia and Massachusetts com
prise the principal boundary of active and decided opera
tions against the great Harry, and Mr. Webster's hand is
ably aided by those who were never inspected of coldness
the Whig cause.
We now predict, haring a little insight of the secret oper
ations, that by the time the Whig National Convention is
held, the object of this conspiracy againstour favorite Whig
candidate will have been perfected, and like it was at the
Harrisburg Convention, some patriotic Whig, which eyes
full of crocodile tears, will rise in blabbering grief and with
draw Mr. Clay’s name from the list of candidates. This
will be done "in the name of patriotism," and with the
approbation of Mr. Clay, but it will be that kind of appro
bation that compulsion extorts, and that kind of patriotism
that coons and hard cider created in 1840. Of costae see
shall do all in oar power, consistent with modest admiration
of that great man’s peculiar virtue* and piety, to prevent
this certain calamity—but what can se do against such
a mighty combination of’circumstances ?—Cincinnati In

Boot on the Bight I,cg.
We heard much about Mr. Botts’ intention of contesting
the claims of bis opponent Mr. Jrnes, to a seat in the next
Congress, and we were told that Air. B. would oust Air.
Jones in consequence of a number of illegal votes having
been polled foi the latter gentleman; it appears from the
Richmond Enquirer, that the “boot is on 'tother leg.” That
paper says:—“We understand that John W. Jones, Esq.
member elect to Congress From this District, has handed
to Mr. Botts a nice little list of four hundred and forty one
bad votes on his (Mr. B’s) poll—plenty of nuts to crack in
the longsummer days. Mr. B. can’t'head’ Captain Jones,
we confidently predict.”—Baltimore Republican.
The Jloiiitcr,
Mr. Clay in his speech against the charter in 1811, said:
"What is n corporation such as this bill contemplates?
It is a splendid association of favored individuals taken from
the mass of society and invested with exemptions uud sur
rounded with immunities and privileges.”
Why should that gentleman have so materially altered
his opinion of this “splendid association of favored indivi
duals ?” Certainly not in consequence of any want of expe
rience to prove the correctness of his views on this subject;
fur abundant evidence has accumulated to sustain the truth
of his remarks—they were true then, and they are equally
true now.—ib.
Host the Country prospers wiihonl n Bnult.
Subjoined are two articles which we commend to those
old political erokers, who so long believed, or pretended to
believe, that the country .could enjoy no prosperity without
a National Batik; and some of whom have not yet relin
quished their preference for a “Great National Regulator."
In the days of a Bank we used to hear much about the trre
gulnrityof the exchanges, the want of specie, and the gene
ral depression of business created by those two difficulties.
And when the Democrats were endeavoring to rid the coun
try of the great financial monster, no oilier sounds is contin
ually greeted the ear ns declarations of the impossibility
of carrying on the business of the people without a national
institution to “regulate the exchanges” and give us a “sound
currency ” These were standing arguments in favor of a
Bank, und they were die great levers By which public opin
ion was to lie innved to repudiate the Democratic policy ami
give the government into the hands of the whig*. How of
ten have we heard tile complaint that without a National
Bank, the exchanges would be so irregular, and the balan
ces of trade so decidedly against ns, that all the specie
which could he had would he sent to foreign comities!—
Now wttne-s the result! View the falsity of these whig
predictions! The Bank has been dead—irretrievably dead
—for more than twoyears; and trade and business have
learnt how to regulate themselves; as die Democrats all
along contended they would, as soon as the Bank should be
out of die way. and they could have a fair field. Alore
than twenty millions of dollars in specie arrived in this
country hetweeu the firstof January and the middle of May,
while two per cent discount, according to die New York
Courier and Enquirer, the leading Bank paper in die Union,
has been the greatest difference of Exchanges between
New York and New Orleans. This is die effectof the
Democratic policy 1 What can the poor Whigs say to it ?
No wonder that a National Bank has become an obsolete
idea.” A high tariff for protection, must soon-meet the
same fate. The great pillars of Whiggery are fart crum
bling under the tottering mass and soon there will he noth
ing left but a shapeless heap of mouldering ruins-—Dover
Gazette.
Dr. Webster.—We are gralif ed to learn that among the
valuable papers left by the late Dr. Webster in possession
of bis son, are an autobiographical memoir, embracing the
must prominent incidents in his most eventful life; and also
a " Eynepaia of Words in twenty Languages," to which be
devoted nearly ten of the best sears ol his long life, arrang
ing the most important words in each language “ under the
same radical letters, with a translation of the signification,
and references from one to another when the senses are
similar, bv which he was enabled to discover the affinities
between different languages, am! the primary physical idea
cf an original word, from which the secondary senses have
branched forth.”—Sc to Haven Courier.
Somethin/; Kovel.—The Montreal Herald says:—An
iron steamer propelled with a screw placed in her how, of
about 50 UllSS,made her appearance at tit. Johns, on Thurs
day, having made her wav the whole distance from the
city cf New York, through the Hudson, the Whitehall ca
nal. ami Lake Champlain, laden with merchandize for a
house here.
We had doubtless, some share ourself, uninten
ttonally, however, of introducing this bird as
the emblem of Democracy, when we wrote
Chapman to crow. Indeed, the Cock if the ap
propriatc emblem of Democracy. Brave, vig-
ilant and sprightly, he is always on the watch
So soon as the Sun, like a great LocoFoco
Match, lightens up the world, and scatters the
darkness of niglii, the Cock salutes him with
his well-known crow ofLocojo Co! He
faithful and constant in his attachments, and
loathes traitors or those who forsake their
friends. When Saint Peter, like a Whig,
failed to redeem the promises he had made, the
Cock reprimanded him three times. And
throughout the Union the Democratic Cock
reprimanding the Whigs for failing to redeem
their promises of good times—of • two dollars
a day and roast beef.’
The Coon, or Whig ensign, is a nocturnal
animal. He prowls about in the dark, and
direads the light. The blaze of a Loco Foco
Match starts him off in alarm. He sneaks from
lieu-roost to hen-roost like a Whig goings from
batik lo bank on borrowed capital. At cock
crowing, he puls off, like an evil spirit, to his
murky den.”
From the National Intelligencer.
A Rare old Han.
Died, in this'eity, on Friday evening, the 2d
instant, John Cary, in the 114th year of his
age. This is the same “ Old John," of whom
some notice was taken in the Intelligencer last
winter, when a joint resolution was pending be
fore Congress to grant him a pension. He
was born of African parents, in Westmoreland
county Virginia, in August, 1729, two years
and a half before the birth of General Wash
ington, and in the same county. Had he lived
Uvo months longer, he would have reached the
ftdl age of 114 years. He accompanied Gen
Washington 6s bis personal servant in the old
French war, and was with him in the battle
field on the Moiiongahela in July, 1755, where
Gen. Brnddock was defeated and slain, and
\yhere Washington, by his ability and pru
deuce, covered the retreat and saved the rem
nant of the British army, and laid the founda
tion of his future military fame.
In the warnf the Revolution, John followed
to the camp and to the field his old command
er, sometimes as a personal attendent and some
times in the ranks of the army, and continued
wiih him till the termination of hostilities.
When retiring from the array. General Wash
ington presented “Old John” with a military
coat, the same which the General had worn at
the siege of Yorktown, as a token of his appro
bation and esteem. The coat John carefully
preserved as a sacred memento; and though in
his old age reduced to extreme poverty, no
money could ever tempt him to part with the
old coat. He wore it as a dress coat till with
in the last fifteen years of his life, and lias left
it as his richest earthly treasure.
After the war of the Revolution, John resid
ed for several yearn in Westmoreland county
where he became a devout member of the Bap
list Church. Thence he removed to this place,
and fur the last twenty-eight years of his life
was a member of the First Baptist Church in
this city.
He was ardent in bis patriotism and attach
ment to his country’s Father, the great Wash
ington. He was still more ardent in his piety
and dpvoiion to God, his Eternal Father and
Redeemer. His life was unstained, and his
death was unclouded. He met without dread
the King of Terrors, and passed tho vale of
death without alarm.
Great Laud Suit.
We learn from the Hudson (N. Y.) Repub
lican that Jeremiah Van Rensselaer has
brought a suit in Equity, before judges Thomp
son and Betts, of the United States Circuit
Court, aguinst the Executors and Devizecs of
John Watts deceased, to recover possession of
the property, consisting of about 75,000 acres
of land, formerly known as, “Claverack Ma
nor,” in that county. The claim is founded
on the following facts :—
In the year 1782, John Van Rensselaer, the
elder, lord of the lower manor of Rensselaer-
«ick, (usually termed Claverack Manor,) in
Columbia county, devised tho manor, in trust,
for his grandson, John I. Van Rensselaer, who
was to have the rents during his life, and then
it was to be entailed, forever,on bis male heirs
Soon after the making cf the will, an act pas
sed, abolishing the principle of entail, atul de
claring ihat persons so holding should be consi
dered .is possessing a lee simple. In 1794,
John I. sold the manor for §40,000, and it has
since remained in possession cf the parties pur-
basing, or their assigns. No covenant as to
tho guarantee to the title appears to have been
iven. Much of the property has since passed
into other hands. John I. died in 1827; and
the present action was brought by his eldest
survivingson, who now resides in another State,
and claims possession of the property on the
ground that John 1. had no right to sell it, not
possessing a right of fee simple under the act,
but merely a life interest, and that the entail
could not have effect till after his death.
If this suit should be determined in favor of
tho plaintiff, it will invalidate the titles to some
of the finest (arms in the State, and doubtless
cause much litigation.

DEMOCRACY.
MACON:
TUESDAY SOBNINGi Jll/.Y 4, ISIS.
The first four of these gentleman were combatants at Lex
ington and Concord; Air. Johnson also at Bunker Hill, and
the next eleven likewise belonged to the troops who so gal-
landy held the slight and temporary redoubt against the re
gular forces of Britain. The others took part in some one
or more engagements during the Revolution. Capt. Josiah
Cleveland,above mentioned, was not only at Banker Hill
butin the battles at Haerlem Heights, White Plains, Tren
ton, Princeton. Monmouth, and Yorktown, at the capture of
Cornwallis. He entered as a volunteer under Col. Putnam,
and was afterwards in Sullivan’s Brigade. He was born in
Camerbnry, Ct. Dec. 3, 1753, and now resides in Tioga
county, New York. He lias performed a journey of over
four hundred miles to attend this celebration.
Concord Monument.
The most interesting object in the neighborhood of Con
cord, Mass- is the simple monument erected on the spot
where the first blow was struck against the tyrannous go
vernment of the mother couutry.—It stands on the bank of
the Concord river, aliout a quarter of a mile from the village.
It is an obelisk, about 30 feet high, aurrounded by a plain
iron railing.—The following is the inscription which it bears
—the toucliing simplicity and beauty of which we have ne
ver seen surpassed:
HERE,
On the 19th of April,
1775.
. was made
The first forcible resistance to British Aggression.
On the opposite bank.
Stood the American Militia;
Here stood the invading Army—
And on this spot
The first of the enemy fell
IN THE WAR OE THAT REVOLUTION WHICH GAVE
INDEPENDENCE TO THESE UNITED STATES.
In gratitude to God,
and
In love of Freedom, this monument was
erect'd.
A. D. 1826.
The monument ia aporoached from the public road by a
wide avenue, corpeted with a rich green sward and lined
on each side by flourishing voung trees, which give good
promise of meeting over head hereafter, in many a frater
nal embrace. This is a consecrated spot.
order to allow ourselves, and our work
men. an opportunity of participating in the patriot
ic solemnities of this hallowed Day, we have anti
cipated by a lew hours, the regular publication of
our paper. We trust, however, in so doing, we in
convenience none nf our advertising customers—
and as we furnish an epitome of all the inielligence
we could have given by keeping our columns open
longer, our subscribers we are certain will be rather
gratified than otherwise by the arrangement.
For the week past, the weather has been extra
warm—somewhere between 90and 10Owe reckon.
Since that loafer (whocomesand borrowsour news
papers every day,) broke off the top of our thermom
eter to make a pipestem of, we can’t calculate the
heat precisely.
We understandTi numberofoursubscribersliave
taken exceptions, at.our admitting intoour columns
certain communications touching the recent Dem
ocratic Convention, and threaten a withdrawal from
the paper in consequence thereof. We hope this
is not so—we had rather gain tert subscribers than
lose one. But, whether we gain or lose, we cannot
be driven from our course, in publishing the truth,
the whole truth, and nothing but the truth—so far
as ottr limited capacity enables us to do so.
It is at all times unpleasant for an editor to differ
with his friends—but lie must sometimes do so, or
forfeit all claims to honesty of opinion and integrity
of purpose. He who has no opinion of bis own,
has no influence—is neither feared by his foes, nor
esteemed by his friends; and worse than all, he
soon ceases to be respected, even by himself.
If the Democratic party expects lo maintain its
present ascendancy, it must have a principle of
cohesion stronger than the lore of office. They
must act with integrity to the country as well as fi
delity to the party. When ever they cease to do
th is, their power is at an end. If we cannot ob
tain and secure power by fair means, we ought not
to have it or wish for it. It is frequently necessary
for an editor, who would be useful, to ad
minister unwelcome reproofs and bitter truths—if
he cannot do 'iris, through fear, favor or affection,
he is an unfaithful sentinel, and unworthy his high
vocation.
Mr. Webster’# Speech—Celebration of jT

It is with no ordinary feelings of reuret, th at u
vented from presenting our readers the entii.
Air. Webster, owing to its length and the late h
reception. On such a DAY as THlS.itwouldj^ *

Irish Repeal.
This question is becoming deeply interesting. As we
understand it, it seeks notto dismember the British Em
pire, but simply to give Ireland her own parliament, as was
the case previous to the year 1800. She disclaims not her
loyalty and fealty to the British sovereign, but she wishes
tho lawmaking power transferred from London to Dublin—
from foreigners to ner own sons. It is not rebellion, but a
peaceable remedy provided by the British constitution,
which the Irish are struggling to obtain by the votea of the
British parliament itself.
Some of the whig papers which condemn the Repeal
movement in this country, remark that England would
have had just as much right to incite the nullifiers of South
Carolina iu 1633. as Americans have to encourage the Irish
Repealers. Tbe case is different: South Carolina took
the ground that she had a right to secede and become a
separate and independent nation, without the consent of
Congress or tbe other States. The Irish Repealers take
no such ground. They only insist upon a Repeal of the
legislative union. They ask but the same privilege the
Canadas now enjoy. They are willing to consider them
selves a colony of England, if they can be governed by
tlieir own parliament. In all these discussions, it should
ever be remembered that the union with England was
formed in 1801 by law, and as history tells us, most foully
and fraudulently obtained by the iutrigue and corruptions
of Pitt, the British Alinister; and reason, justice and pro
priety, give the Irish ,f the present day the same right to
obtain a repeal of that union, by the same means. It was
made by law, and they would abolish it by law. England
is to be moved to grant this repeal, and how ? _ By the un
animity of the Irish at home, and by the Public Opinion of
tne civilized world. Public Opinion has become a mighty
engine in controlling the movements of all nations. Haugh
ty as England is, she will feel the influence of the wave
even from this side ol the Atlantic. The excitement which
pervades the United States will lead to reflection.
sympathies ofthe millions in America that the Irish
are right iu tlieir demands, inav act like infection on the
minds of the independent thinkers there, and induce them to
grant thatjusticc which will raise England’s character in
the estimation of the world. Such will he its tendency so
long as the meetings in this country confine themselves to
tlieir present avowed object of "seconding the efforts ofthe
Irish at home, lo obtain the Repeal of the statute of Union,
and the restoration to Ireland of a National Parliament, by
lawful, peaceful, and constitutional means.”—Albany Ar

A. very brilliant Meteor 'vas seen by several per
sons in ^Jiis city, on Thursday evening between 7
and 8 o’clock, just as the netv moon was going down.
They represent the Meteor as being about as large
as a man’s hat—apparently coming from the moon,
(or the west), and falling over the city. We hear
of its being seen also in the country, under similar
appearances.
The Express Line, recently established by M.
S. Ball & Co. between Macon, Savannah and
Charleston, will afford to the merchants and busi
ness men of each place new and increased facilities
for the transaction of business. We hope their spir

population of New Eugland, and circulates largely in every
State aud Territory in the United States. Tt goes weekly
the large towns and cities in the British North American
provinces, and wiih every steamer visits England and

A Pure Deuioci-ntic Community.
We were conversing the other day, with a citi
zen of Irwin county, who informs us, that there is
not a Lawyer or Doctor in that county!—as the
people never go in debt, there is no need of Law
yers ; and as they live in primitive simplicity, there
is no room for a Physician. It is difficult to get
any o:ie to accept the office of Constable, or Shcr-
itf, or Justice of the Peace. The Superior Court
is seldom ever held there—and when it is, there is
not business enough to attract the attention of the
bar—consequently, the session continues scarcely
as many hours, as it does weeks, in some counlies,
thought to be much better off. Still, the people of
Irwin are not poor. They have never had a pau
per among them. They raise their own provis
ions, and manufacture their own clothes. Nei
ther are they indebted to the East Indies for Coffee,
oi the West Indies for Sugar. They make every
tiling among themselves. Irwin is one of the lar
gest counties in the State, aud has a happy, indus
trious, and thriving population. How is all this to
be accounted for? Ahtstccr—There is scarcely a
half dozen Whig voters in the county.
03^ Some of our Clay cotemnoraries appear to
be terribly uneasy at the probable speedy dissolu
tion of the Democratic Party! A party with so
many great men in it—so many, qualified by ex
traordinary talents and high moral worth, to fill the
Presidential chair—they seem to reason, must fall
to pieces, by its own weight.
These reasoners are mistaken in the principal of
’•esiion in the Democracy. Judging from the
of their own selfish and corrupt party, they
cry existence of political honesty or vir-
se tiiat men cohere merely for the
. • i;d plunder. They suppose, be-
i party boasts of but one name vvor-
sident, and consequently, has no rival
own ranks (as yet) in the field—that
: y cannot stand, when it has so many !
all wrong. Thereisaprinciplestrongerthan

' is the love of country. Though Harry of the
ri’est has, as yet, no avowed competilor in the
field—we shall not be much surprised, if his name j Rut who, from beneath the weig> 11 ^
should be eventually dropped by the Whig Con- cation and shame, that would oj’P^
