Trust in GOd.-The Philadelphia Inquirer pub

Contemporary Of The Amented Dr. GoDMAN:
"SOme years ago IN conversation with us, he said
that in voyage to in early life, he had seen n
lad who had just begun to be a sailor, going out to
come projecting part of the rigging. His arms were
supported by spar, and Inc looking below hin,
for rope which across, which his feet should
be- The rope few from side to side, and it was evi-
dent the poor fellow was becoming dizzy, and III
danger Of falling, when the mate shouted to him
with all his force-'LooK ALoFT! you sneaklng lub-
bert BY thus turning away his eyes from the dan
ger, the dizziness prevented and he found bis
footing. And this incident, the Doctor said, often
recurred to his mind in after life, when his troubles
grew heavy upon him, and he hardly could find
ground whereon 10 tread. At such times he heard
the mates shout in his ears, and turned his eyes
'aofl' to the prize upon which he had fastened his
hopes We cannot part with this beautiful nlustra-
ton, without asking each Of readers TO apply it
TO still nober purposes to steady Themselves in all

life in which there is rest and peace evermore; and
when our flesh and heart shall fail u.s. and we can
find no support under feet to seek it by looking
aloft, to Him, who is the strength Of our hearts and
our portion forever"

TUESDAY MOOR WING, JUNE l, 1880.

Mr.. Noah.-As far as the individual, Mr..
Noah, is concerned, we personally, do not
regret the result of his denomination,
Tor with great laXity on some subjects, he
certainty possesses talent, and many ami
able qualities. But his denomination under
the circumstances of his rejection, was an
lndlgnity to the Senate, and to the people of
the United StatesSwhose will that body had
previously declared by rejecting him. When
he was rejected, Mr.. Noah's nomination and
its propriety had been convassed for ten
months, and the Senate had had it under
their consideration for several months. If
that body can do, or ever has done any thing
with cautious deliberation, we must presume
their decision in his ease to have been an
instance. Every Senator was individually
sollclted-the strongest party appeals in
Noah's favor were made to each and to all,
publicly, and no doubt, privately; every
Senator was at his post, and still after so
long elaboration, after such repeated appeals
to the party feelings, the fears, and the per-
sonal attachments of members, Noah was
rejected by majority oftwo votes. Anoth-
er President would have rested satisfied with
this decisive result, and submitted to the
constitutional controul put upon him. Not
so with our Military Ruler. His friend Mr..
Richie, truly characterized him as ssinclined
to arbitrary power,'' disposition strength

had made war, levied troops, and suspended
The most valuable provision of the Constitu-
ton by his private authority, could not be
expected, clothed as he now is, with the SUI
preme Executive authority, to submit to have
his wishes overruled by twenty-five men,
There was in the Cabinet, if this affair was
submitted to the advice of that sage Coun-
Gil, but one man from whom the country had
the right to expect an honest and indepen-
dent dlssuaslon of the President, from the
extraordinary and encroaching step ofrenom-
mating Noah; and that man (Mr Berrien) is
too straight forward old, fashioned and plain
IN his personal politics, to have much infu-
ence there. We might admire the bold
ness OF the President, in disregarding the de-
cIsion of the Senate, and his insisting upon
their conformity to his will, but for one cir
cumstance which proves the calculation to
have been more mean than bold This was
the departure of Mr.. TazewelI, called home
by domestic affection. Had he remained,
the vote on the denomination % and 3d.
