THE NAVY.

The following very just observations are
from the pen OF the distinguished Editor
OF the Baltimore Morning Chronicle:
"It is a melancholy consideration, to
the real, tried, weather beaten friends or
the Navy, to observe how rapidly the enc"
mies Of that establishment are gaining.
ground every day. When an instance OK
personal misconduct is proved against an
ofhcer, such as that OF Lieutenant Weaver,
for example, those who look with enyIous
eyes, extend the censure, and represent
the whole system, as vicious and deiec<
tive. Perry, it is true, rode in triumph
over the waves of Erie; Nc Donoush over
those of Champlain: their names are Ia
miliar to every American ear; and what
heart has not bounded al the recital Of their
deeds? But it is not enough 10 achieve
glory; It is likewise our duty to preserve
il: honor, like proud patrimoDial inher-
lance, most be husbanted with care
Whenever thing beautiful and brilliant IS
presented 10 the eyes, it must be preSeIV-
ed in that state; for the surrounding orght'
ness only makes single dark spot more
visible. Where such a harvest has been
obtained, OF ocean laUrels-wbere such
bright and luminous foot prints, from Inc
feet OF Perry, cambridge, Decatur. Nor"
ris, DC, TO glory, are seen, we DID nope
that every naval officer would have trod IN
the tracks, and mounted 10 the same allI'
tude OF observation. But even praise -
sometimes dangerous TO be conferred: u
often slackena the aspiring energy oil per"
severance; and when bestowed in advance,

than he deserves--intoxicated ~ the feh

At last, he is reused from bis delIrlum, oy

but night shade and cypress leaves. u''-
ry, the gitterng vision that stood before
him in all Der radiance, now turns Inc
back OF scorn, and he IL lett desoia'e.
But it is not Tor such that We mourn--H Vs.
