THE INFLUENCE OF WEALTH.

10. lHE OC w GhLA
One of the most difficult questions, for
the public mind Of the present age to
solve, is the following: How much reli.
ancc ought one man TO place in the judg-
ment of another? Aside from the consid-
Grafton Of self.interest which prompts so
many incorrect decisions of mind in COM
munity, there are other passions,to be sat-
is6ed which require an equal-sacrifce Of
good sense. Avarice is one Of the gov
erning principles Of mans nature. 1t
stands foremost in the ranks of ungrati-
fed desires, and sacrifices to its unhal-
lowed shrine, every noble principle Of
the heart. Wealth, the result Of ava
rice, and the natural fruit of dishonora-
Bile artifce, rs well as of fortunate in
vestments, is always accompanied by a
greater share of influence over the pas
sions and minds Of community, than any
other possession. Wonderful, vast and
incomprehensible is the power Of its
owner Like the talismanic lamp, with
(which Aladdin outrivall'd the gorgeous
spIendor Of Bagdad, and became trans
lated from the shop board Of tailor, to
the possession of princess; so are the
Golfers OF a rich man, wonderful in their
effects upon the world around him. He
need but refer to this charm, and hun
dreds Of the poor and destitute flock a.
round him, hoping by their well timed
sycophancy, to share with him the result
Of toilsome life Of years Of anxiety,
of sleepless nights, and Of burning de-
sires. BY his nod are they governed
To perform his will is their pleasure.
To. praise his vices, laud his bounty, and
exaggerate his virtues, their delight
The rich man is a God, the world around
him Heaven, and man, weak worm Of
the dust, is the willing victim Of his ca.
! prices.

that many of the New York merchants,
who have sold goods to western traders
for city plots, are employed in hunting
up their pay. One ofthem, a few weeks
since had the good fortune to stumble
over stake somewhere in one of the
Michigan swamps, which, by good judg-
es, was declared to be within the corpo-
rate limits Of his city. But as gen
eral thing their search has been unsuc-
cessful. This great bug-bear Of cities
in the west, has had its day. The effect
of it has been to give forced growth,
and cnvied reputation to many places,
which possess no other advantages to
recommend them to emigrants. We
could if so disposed, instance examples

Of the most distinguished men in the Un-

matter before the people in broad and
strong relief.
five could see any possible good like
ly to result from the holding of such Con-
|vention,we would go for it most heartily,
but in our opinion its effects, would be
injurious. The day Of Conventions has
gone by; they are generally composed Of
those men who al the most ultra in their
notions and, the mass look with distrust
upon their recommendations. A grand
national Convention is soon to meet at
Washington, whose express dutyit is ITO
take into consideration the preservation
and safety Of the Republic" and who
have the power fbackiug their opinions
by legal enactments. To that body we
must look, if any where, for safety and
preservation, rather than to an assem-.
