Young men are in general but little aware
how much their reputation is affected in the
view Of the public, by the company they
keep. The character of their associates is
soon regarded as their own. If they seek the
society of the worthy. it e~levates them in
the public estimation, as it is an evidence that
they respect others. On the contrary,
intimacy with persons OF bad character always
sinks a young man in the eye of the public.

Some one says, that when a man has been

Mr.. President. for ten long years we have
been warning against the alarming growth
of Executive power; but although we have
been occasionally cheered, 1t has been con-
stantly advancing and never reccdIng. You
may talk as YOU please about bank expan-

sion in this country like that of Executive
power; and, unlike the operations of banks,
this power never has any periods of oontrac-
ton. Gou may denOunce as you please the
usurpations of Congress. There has been no
nsurpation but that of the Executive, which
has been beth OF the powers OF other Co.
