10 this approaching election the world will
bear witness that Kentucky, amongst her Other
great vIrtseS boasts the proud one OF gtal! Iude
know that one of her SORs in whom she is well
pleased, has been selected 10 run on The Van
Buren, ticket for Vice PTeSideRi. This is A New
YORK manGuvTe II is sop 10 FOWLER KrnIurky
Will not bite at the bait. We would delight 10 do
honor TO the candidate Tor Vice Presideni; he has
also won his fame in deeds of noble daring but
ne must recOllect that Il man marries woman
below hlR IN the grades of soc iety he elevaeS
her TO his levcl;if above him, he brings her down
TO his own caSe. So Is the fate of The candidate
tor Vice President
Ia the same speech also appears this very sinrn
lar paragraph
When the war is raging in Florida with all
MS horrors, and IN It's most frighlful forms, and
we are IN daily expectation Of Il war with France
whai DO We behold here, in this city, and IN This
halIl Day after day are W. impofIuued to sur
render this chamber to the Secretary OF the De-
partment Of War, To deliver Lecture on hir,ory,

and GiecinnS. Instead of studying the plans OF
campaigns, marches, and battles he is poripp
over The history of nations twenty five hundred
wears gone by. The general-in-c hlef Of our Army
Is president Of the assembly balls, as OUT daily
papers tell us, and report saws night after night
walizing with the little misses in their teens; and
when not at that, writing miserable plays for the
Stage. There Is no laudable spir, of enterprise
and emulation IN the Army, NAVY or any part of
the public service. WHY this state of things a.
Because promotion 10 Office does not now depend
on merit, hut by bowling ,fawning, and erinping in
the palace for all power is there. When the
mental pack fear Ind tTemble.
Speaking of Mr.. J. q. Adams, Mr. Hardin
saws
When recollect how, in 1928, in the comics.
tor President between the honorable gentleman.
and General Jackson, iabored in his cause rods.
over Kentucky, and addressed the People for
hours together, with what indignation an, hired,
al his conduct now In spirit of true fepen-
lance DO declare, thar II God will forgive me
for what then did, promise noyer 10 do the lik
again.
The gentleman ir m Massachusetts SAYS we
(meanlng himself and uiheri) have been accused
Of man-worship- alluding To his worshi,piog
General jackson. do not believe lhata gen.
ileman ever accused him of such devotion to any
m-n or any friend in the world as 10 amount to.

lleman with that quality of The hearI,I never
heard II. expect II /. not man the gentleman
worshipS: II Is office and lis tmolumenis.
Speaking OF MIR. c. c. CamFreleng Mr.. Har-
DIN says
II an enlightened stranger were to visit this
city during the sitting of Congress, and attend TO
the aohaicS IN the Senate ard here, how this
House woBld suffer IN the comparison II he
should chance to hear The Chairman at finance
IN the Senate (Nr. WcbsjeT) developing in his
usual lucid manner, conn Heated questions of Fl.
nance and unfolding the almost exhaustle>S al
though somewhat hidden, resources Of this no.
ton; and after that, come into this Hall and hear
The Chairman OF the Committee Of WAYS and
Means on the same subject; whsther the efforts
OF the RrsaI moneyed officer Vt this House would
most excite bis laughter or contempt, ! cannot
ieIl the sublime and luJictouS are So nearly a.
lied. His feelings would be not unlike those Of
an amateur Of the great and awful workings Of
nature, who had Just been spectator of Vesuvi-
uSur IL ma, IN the appalling grandeur OF a tfe-
mcndOuS eruption, and then turning on the plain
below, and seeing a mole ~ anthill emitting
pale smoke, ana occasionally feeble and Scky
blaze
Speaking Of Mr. Van Buren,. Mr.. Hardin SAYS
II has oeen visible To the whole American PcO-
pie Tor some years past that General JockSon has
been and IS now, ambitious 81 Designating his IL
cdl successor; and that oil his rover influence,
end patronage have been directed to The elevation
OF his favofite, whose only recommendation his
Servilitv, Sycophancy, and abject aattsry Of the
President, one who wccpS whsn he itownS, and
laughs aloud when he smiles; and Who ha, no
merit but what Is reflected on him from General
jackson. Like the mouI, he shines by borrow.

These "Scnps' will serve 70 give some idcs Of
the unSparing severity with which Mr.. Hardin
aSsails those who cross his path OF With whom he
comes IN contact Mr. Randclpk's remark con.
corning the rep sentative from Kcpiuckv, nov
familiar TO the public, was not m'Sspplied.
