principal difference between men, as they
exist in the same society? Knowledge
What raised Franklin from the station of a
printers boy, to the highest honors Of his
country? knowledge. What took Sher-
man from his shoemaker's bench, and
gave him seat in Congress, and thereby
made his voice heard among the wisest
and best of his compeers9 Knowledge
What raised Simon from the weaver's loom

fifer's boy in the army, to a station among
the first Of astronomers? Knowledge
knowledge is power. 1t is the philoso-

JEFFERsoNIAN PRINCIPLES. These terms
have become susceptible of as many interpreta-
tiOns as the tabled word, in which everv man
read his own name and titles They once pos.
sessed something like definite meaning they
at least raised in the mind some distinct no.
tiOns; they were words of strife, but like the
thunder in the storm, their distinctive force
passed away in the tempest of which they were
the soul. The truth is, the principles of the
Jeffersonian school have passed into as many
bands and have undergone such a variety of
changes, that scarcely one original feature can
be traced there is little but the name remain
ing, and that is of such easy acquisition, that
the most proiigate wretch in the community
can be christened with it at any moment: he
has only TO throw up his cap, cry "Jefferso-
man, "National Republican," "AnticoaIition,
and he stands forth redeemed, regenerated, the
darling child of democracy, freedoms fayorite
and the worlds wonder.
We have an inexpressible contempt for those
principles, as they are called, which are like an
elastic glove, that fits all hands, and conccaIs
the filth that adheres to them.
1t is the man, and not the color of his badge
that stamps his character and creed. It is his
prevailing sentiment bodied forth in action,
that constitutes the only true test of his merits
Conduct, and not profession, is the only evil
dence that will satisfy rational, enlightened
community. There cannot be a more vain and
idle effort than the attempt that is now making
to conceal the deformities of these times, by
casting over them the mantle of Jeffefson's po-
litical principles. The disguise is too thin,
the artifce too easily detected. We advise
certain leading politicians to adopt some other
expedient, if they wish to avoid that ridicule
and contempt which will ever be visited upon
empty parade and shallow arti6ce.

THE JACKSON CREED. The jackson press

all these terms applied by the party?
Democracy means, a repetition of some of
the party prejudices- of Mr.. Jefferson, and a
blind devotion to men in Office.
Retrenehment means, an additional number
of ofhcers-an increase of salaries-and tleenty-
fire or si1 millions Of dollars, taken from the
public Treasury to Cypress the Indians, &c.
Reform means, the turning out of Office good
and faithful public servants, and appointing in
their places, miserable tools and profligates.
Economy means, a profuso expenditure of
public money, to reward the I" Hurra Boys"
Patriotism means, support of men, right or
wrong, dissolution of the Union, repeal Of
tho Tariff, and a veto upon Internal Improve
ments.
Liberty Of the press means, slandoring oppo-
nents, deceiving the people, as TO the motives
and opinions of the government, and rcwarding

The freedom of elections means, the inter-

to support the Jackson cause.

SCOTT'S "REMINISCENCES OF
LORD BYRON.

1t was in the course of this spring
1875 that Lord Byron and Sir Walter
Scott became, for the first time, personal
ly acquainted with each other. Mr. Muir
ray having been previously on visit to the
latter gentleman, ,hadbeen intrusted by him
with a superb Turkish dagger, as pres
cnt to Lord Byron and the noble poet,
on their meeting this year in London
the only time when these two great men
had ever an opportunity Of enjoying
each others society,-presented to Sir
Walter in return, a vase containing some
human bones that had been dug up from
under part of the old walls of Athens.
The reader, however, will be much
better pleased to have these partic-
uars i'm the words of Sir Walter Scott
himself, who, with that good nature which
-onJa. hin, no less amIaDle than admlra-
BILE, has found time, in the midst of all
his marvellous labours for the world, to
favour me with the following interesting
communication.
(.Moore's Life Of Lord Byron.
"My first acquaintance with Byron
began in manner rather doubtful. j
was so far from having any thing to do
with the offensive criticism in the Edin-
burgh, that l remember demonstrating
against it with our friend, the editor, be-
cause thought the "Hours of Idleness"
treated with undue severity. They were
written like all juvenile poetry, rather
from the recollection of what had pleas
ed the author in others than what had
been suggested by his own Imagination /;
but, nevertheless thought they contain
ed some passages of noble promise. /
was so much impressed with this that !
had thoughts of writing to the author );
but some exaggerated reports concerning
his pccularities, and natural unwilling
ness to intrude an opinion which was un-
called for, induced me to relinquisb the
idea.
! was very much struck, with all the
world, at the vigour and force ofimagina-
