3 The Militia. 1t has suffered less from the
assaults OF foes in war. than the neglect OF
friends IN peace-save it from its friends, and
1t will take good care of our foes.
a: Public Free Schools. The true source of
civil and religious freedom-may they long
Continue 70 make New England the pride Of
our country, and its sons proud of their native
land.
5. A Free Press. The voice of a free peo-
ple-?ower cannot silence it, nor rewards buy it.
q. The Legislature Of Massachusetts. In the
multitude of counsellors there may be safety,
but no economy. If many hands make light
work, they make light purse also.
Z. Henry Clay. While New England is true
to herself, her friends, and the country, she
will not forget the prosecuted patriot and clo-
quent statesman of the west
8. .4hdrea6 JackSon-the President of circtlm-
stances. He was the first choice of but two
States in the Unioh--may he be the last, whose
election is predicated solely upon military sue
cess or ambitious combinations.
9. Our Republican Institutions. We rejoice
that their success depends more on the virtue
and intelligence of the people, than upon the
skill and patriotism of our rulers.
TO- Names ind Things. The beauty and
booty" of New Orleans was the watch-word of
Gen. Jacksons foes-the beauty and booty"
of office is the rallying point of President Jack
sons friends.
ii. The Heroes Of Reform-who increase
the necessity of reform by every attempt al
reformation. They work political tread-mill
where every step makes another necessary, and
every attempt to rise leaves them Just where
they started. Forty years will not bring them
to the top of the wheel, but four may find them
at the bottom.

sufficient to distinguish between the genuine

mean or average at which first marriage was
contracted, to be, for the men twenty-nine
years and half, for the women Lwenty-fonr
years and half; difference five years. 3. He
found the mean or average age of the father,
