We have had-it verbally, from very re

the following ltind passed between a ' EurQ-ct
( 'pean of high distincti'on for talents and in

l-U.States. It was at some period during

you at present are the happiest of people.—

from what they actually-fire. They are
selsish, obstinate, open to ﬂattery, and easily
' duped by the crafty and designing. sshe
people of this country at-pre—sent are-under
lsome singular advantages, which in the
? nature. of thing-: can be but temporary.—
s Among the chief of these <l reckon their
si having at the head ostheir government, the
si great and good Vlffishingtonsi; a man si-who
unites all hearts; a man whose patrtottsm
is as pure and ardent, as his judgment-is
sound, and his views eomprehensive; a
man whose signal services and long tried
saithsulnt-ss'have gained him such assweight !
of character with the nation, as no other
sman can ever attain. The whole weight of
his personal character bears upon the public
with a most salutary influence. 'lntrigues l
stand abashed before him. iPolitical iniqui- )
tvss'hidesis "its head. His example "gives a ,
tone to the public mind. Thousands ad-l
mire it, and follow it. He uniformly con- ]
sults the good ofthe nation in his selections ;

their wisest and best men to represent them '
in congress-; so that-you'are-now governed !
by real statesmesin and incorruPtible patriots. l
But when his inﬂuence ceases to be felt, and i
his living example shall be no longer before ?
the eyes of his countrymen, the spirit of
patriotism among them will decay. They
will gradually grow remiss in their elections, .
as to-the all-important point of examining
the real merits of candidates. Nay, it is
possible they may be wrought up to such a
pitch of insat-uatiOn as to prefer some of
their worst men to their best.
