GOVERNMENT PATRoNGE.

There never was, perhIps, n more re.
markable work OF imagination, as appli-
clable to the existing stale of things, than
Mr.. BENToN's report 10 the Sena'e upon
Executive patronage, during the Admins
traton of President ADAMS. Nothing was
ever less jnsti6able, than the combination
to put down that Administration, unless,
perhaps, the mere preienceS upon which y
was based. Among these, the abuse of
Elective patronage was most insisted upon,
when il is impossible TO conceive Of any
Administrator making less use o. the pat
runage Of he Executive for its own benefit,
or more magnanimously diSdaining to exert
its legitimate powers TO protect itself
The Senate Report, TO which we have re-
lerred, assumed directly the reverse Of this,
and argued accordingly. We have lived to
see one Administration Of eight years com
pleted, and another one in its second year,
which undeniably have acted upon the
principle then imputed to Mr.. ADAMS Ad-
ministration. Remembering and compar-
ing these facts, it is impossible for any one
now TO read such documents as Mr. BEN
TONS report, without being struck with its
Iorclhe application to the state Of things
uhch has existed during the last nine years
Witness the following extract from the re-
port which has caught our eye in one of our
exchange papers:

THE GLOBES PATRIOTISM AND
MORALITY.

The Globe of Friday night says, "The
ambitious and the sordid, again wish to
distort Government from its legitimate
ends TO their factious and pecunary purpos-
es. They wish to convert it into conve-
nient and resistless engine to suhserye their
personal interests and purposes. They
laugh at principle and mock at patriotism"
The Globe has drawn its own portrait
Who more "sordid'' than the editor of the
Globe9 Who has done more to "distort Co.
ve.nnent from IFS legitimate ends (theg great
est good to the greatest numbers) than the
Globe by its grasping efforts at monopoly to
subserve its personal interests and purp0ses2
Is not the proof of this found in its exclusive
enjoyment Of the printing Of the Executive
Departments, to the exclusion Of all com
petItors, but such as it cons ents to admit to
participate with il? Fifty thousand dollars
in two years for printing for three depart
ments! All for principle (principaI) and
patriotism!
Where was the principle and patriotism
of tho Globe, when, in 1885, while election.
eering to be elected printer in the House,
the very disihterested and patriotic editor
SAID to Jackson man (not in fIvor of Mr..
Van Buren,) thathc did not care a straw for
Mr.. Van Buren,; that he cared nat who was
President; aIl he wanted was the printingof
Congress! There was nothing ''sordid" in
thlsf Nothing partaking or subserving
''personaI interests and purposes?'' II was
"prlnciple" that actuated and "pairiotism''
that governed the editor Of the Globe then.
Will the editor Of tho Globe please say,
It he did not 20 to the Baltimore Convention
IN 1882, and do all in his power to defeat the
Of Mr.. Van Buren, az candidate
for the Vice Presidency No doubt from
disinierested and patriotic motives!
Who does not laugh to hear the Globe talk
Of disinterestedness and patriotism.

From the Christian Witness.
AN INQUIRY.

What bearing have the great schemes Of
moral reform, which are peculiar to the
present age, upon the duties Of the Chris.
,ian minister, and upon the constitution Of
,be Christian Church /? Shall Temperance
and other specific virtues be made special
topics ofrcmark, in public preaching?
Temperance is one OF the Christian vir-
tues, aud therefore it is to be preached. 1t
makes part of the Gospel Goodness
cannot exist without temperance, though
outward ten perance often exists wthoa,
goodness. Temperance has no more Of
meri; in itself than that which arises from
abstinence from any particular vice. The
temperate man has the same kind Of virtue
viii the man who abstains from pro'ane
ness. from theft, or from perjury. 1t is no
self denial with nlnc:een.twentleths of the
community 10 avoid the crime OF drunkenness.
The love Of strong drink is all artificial ap.
petite, and though this appetite has the
strength Of iron letters, when once fastened
upon US, we may easily forestall the bonl.
age. We are not then 10 take credit 10
ourselves, or to suppose that we are accep'
ted by God, simply because we are not
under the dominion Of one particular vice.
To preach the virtue of temperance, as a
mere physical thing, as disconnected from
sanctifcalion of the heart, through the op-
Grafton of Gospel truth, would indeed be
GU, of place in the house of God, and on oc-
casion Of public worahip.
But i, is a PECULIARLY Of our times, that
many Of the great branches ethics, as the
abolition Of drunkenness, Of sensual
vices, of war, have become so in'erwoyen
with certain peculiar movements-with 'he
progress of what are called causes" as
tbs cause oftcmperature," or the cause
ofaboIi,ion n'"-that these topics have be-.
come exceedingly difficult to handle-they
Immediately produce combustion nlhe pub
lie mind. The bearing Of the DISCUSSION
upon the rnoycmen,s ofthis or that p'rty or
coalition is kep, in view, rather than its
bear ng upon the great principles OF the

ERE. in the northern gale,
Tho summer tresses o. the trees are gone,

Have put their glory on.
The mountains that infold
In their wide sweep, the colored landscape
round,
Seem groups of giant kings in purple and
gold,
That guard the enchanted ground.
roam the woods that crown
The upland, where the mingled splendors
glow,
Where the gay company oftrees look down
On the green fields below.
My steps are not alone
lnthese bright walks the sweet southwest,
Flies, rustins, where the painted leaves are
strowu,
Along the winding way.
And far in heaven, the while,
The sun, that sends that gale to wander
here,
Pours out on the lair earth his quiet SMILE
The sweetest of the year.
Where now the solemn shade,
Vesdure and gloom where many branches
meet;
So graceful when the noon Of summer made
The valleys sick with heat!
Let in through al the trees
Come the strange rays; the forest depths
are bright;
Their sunny colored foliage IN the breeze
Twiukles in beams Of light.
The rivulet. late unseen.
When bicker.ng through the shrubs ITS wa
tiers run,
Shines with the image Of its golden screen,
And glmnerings Of the sun.
But heath yon crimson tree,
Lover to listening maid might breathe his
flame,
Nor mark. within it's roseate canopy,
Her blush of maiden shame.
Oh, Autumn! why SO soon
Depart the hues that make thy forests glad ;
Thy gentle wind and thy fair sunny noon,
And leave thee wild and sad.
All, 'twere lot too blest
Forever in thy coored shades 20 stray;
Amidst the kisses of the soft southwest
To rove and dream for aye.
And leave the vain low strife
That makes men mad-the tug for wealth
and power,
The passions and the cares that wiiher life,
And waste its little hour.
