ABSTRAC'TIONS.

We copy with entire concurrence, says
the N. Y. American, the following philo-
sophical analysis of an Abstraction,' 1t is
from the Richmond Whig-which does
honor to our common country by its
manly sense and old fashioned indepen-
dencc.
As to abstractions-we like an abstrac-
ton as we'll as any man living-but it
should be in season,-Take it Of leisure
afternoon, or holliday-and nothing can
surpass it. Itis delicious. 1t thrills the
mental sensorium-it sharpens the wit
and subtilizes the intellect. But thrust
it forth into the rough and bursting aven-
ues of business and every day life, and it
is as much out Of place as Mr.. Jefferson
said General Jackson would be in the
Presidential Chair. 1t has no congeniali-
ty, no adoption for the work-a-day con-
Germs of life-it shrinks from them like
the sensitive plant from rude touch. 1t
dwells in seclusion and quiet-in the closet
with thedreamer, or along the seques,ered,
velvet walks of the poet.
Some politicians, who have made them
selves ridiculous in the public eye, by
over much rcfning-and others-selfsh
and unprincipled-who, under the shield
Of affected purism, have never scrupled to
perpe,rate any political atrocity, which
might rebound to their aggrandisement,
have sought to confound principles and
Observation-Disclosures are no two things
so nearly allied, more distinct in their
nature and attrbutes-unless it be horse
chesnut and a chesnut horse. An alb
straction is a disembodied principle. A
principle is vital, active and provocative,
end always leads to results. Utter ster-
tility is OF the very essence of abstraction
when i, loses the distinctive features it
ceases to be itself Universal equality is
an abstraction, the great good 10 the great
est number is principle. If you were
to put the government into the hands of
pure abstractionists they would (as the
saying is) run into the ground in less than
a fortnight, orproye recreant to their pro-
fe.sions.-Each one would have his own
distractions and all would concur only
in one thng-in repudlating every thing
tactical. If they could not compass the
The Cecil Whig., 1841-11-13

PRETTY CONDUCT.-We have it
from what we regard good authority that
one day last week, gentleman, who had
an obligation to the amount of $500 to
lift, at one of our Banks, rendered the
Bank that amount in Rail Road paper,
which they refused to take. He then told
them that he would pay nothing else.
They told him they would protest the
note. Agreed said he, drawing from his
pocke. three hundred dollars in the mo-
ney of the indenlical Bank-he deman-
ded specie for them. and said if you do
not receive my Rail Road notes, | will
proceed to a magistrate and issue war
rant OH each note have in my posses
sion on your Bank. They hesilated not
long, seeing the man so determined, but
brought forward the note which was paid
by the Rail Road orders just refused.
Will not every one act thus? 1t is time
for the people to act decidedly. Make
them resume at once.

Erom the r. chmond Wig

The whole Loco Foco pack, the Globe,
ENQUIRER, &c. are continually railing a
gainst the Wings on account of the Hard
Cider and Log Cabin Machinery, employ
ed during the last Presidential election.
These charitable gentry forgot to remem-
T. that their own party furnished this
ry machinery for the Wings to work
ith. Some spy (or rather some fool as
ilchie called him. who was sent TO
North Bend to take advantage of any cas-
nal observations he might make, reported
that the old General would be perfectly
satisfied with log cabin, and barrel OF
hard cider, and $4,000 year! This which
was intended as taunt, electrified every
Cabin of the West-and every humble
shed of the East The people saw that it
was the contemptous expression OF some
palace slave, or some meddling tool of the
White House Aristocrat. They Instant
ly embraced the Cabin and Cider as en-
blems of their failh-and as contra-disin-
guished from palaces and champagne.
The feeling which prompted them was an
honest and noble one. They were ami
mated for the contest and triumphed over
their tyrants. In like circumstances they
would do the like again in despite of the
pretended derision of their scournlul and
bitter enemies.
But with what grace or consistency do
the loco focos taunt their political enemies
about log cabins and hard cider2 Do they
remember the hickory poles-the corn
shuckings and whiskey drinkings of the
glorious days Of Jacksonism? Do they
remember the gross and disgusting idola-
try every where manifested towards that
wretched old man-the unlimited submis-
sion to acts of tyranny from which the
coun try has not yet recovered, and. pro-
badly, will not recover for years to come?
Do they remember the low acts and filthy
revellings and beastly or gies by which
the star of Jacksonism gained the ascen-
dant, and the predicted "curse to the
country" was fully VERIFIED They do
remember ali this--but they choose to
forget when it suits their own sinister de-
signs to do SO.
