RULE or RUIN is the countersign Of that
most patriotic body of men who constitute the
minority in The two Houses of Congress.
They have steadily resisted. during the Extra
Session. every bill having for its object the
prosperity and security OF the country Not
wlthstanding there is rea'o on to apprehcnd Sc.
rious collision with England-in the very face
of the fact, that that arrogant power has been
steadily Strengthening her ornaments and
means of annoyance on the American coast
in spite of the miserable and neglected con-
dition of our forts and garrisons-in utter dis
regard Of the financial bankruptcy ofthe coun-
fry, and of the widespread disasters of ruined
cIrrency-notwithstand all these things,
and more, we repeat, that this most unpatriot-
&c body have resisted every measure calculated

This very party have been blowing the flames
OF discord between this country and ENGLAND
during The past winter and spring. and vet

from every measure calculated to arm and for.

yet this patriotic band have refused, by their
votes, to rePlcnish it by loans or taxation.-
They have voted against every thing, howey.

WASHINGTON. Sept. II, 1871.

SIR:-Circumstances have occurred in the
course of your administration, and chiefly in
the exercise by you of the veto power, which
constran me 10 believe that my longer con-
tinuance in office as member Of your Cabi-
net will be neither agreeable to you, useful TO
the country, nor honorable to myself.
DO me the justice, Mr.. President, to believe
that this conclusion has been adopted neither
capriciously, nor in any spirit of party feeling
or personal hostility, but from sense Of duty,
which, mistaken though it may be, is yet so
sincerely entertained, that l cheerfully sacri-
fee to it the advantages and distinctions Of
Office.
Be pleased, therefore, to accept this as my
resignation of the office of Attorney General
of the U. States.
Very respectfully, yours, &c,

ON THE DEATH OF WILLIAM HENRY
HARRISON.


Late President Of The United States.
BY J. II. EEwIrT,
The wall hath gone forth DER the land of the free,
And the heart OF the patrio, chis at the cry;
Our banner hangs lowly DER land and DER sea-
And the name of the hero is breathed with sigh
And bark! from the distance, the heavy guns boom,
They once bechd their thunder and flame on the foe;
And the iron tongue knes out its music of gloom,
While the sturdy heart quails at the requium of woe
From the confines Of Maine to the Sabines wild flood
From Atlanc's broad to the peaks of the west
Shall the wall of nation fill valley and wood,
And the hand ofhe freeman smte hard on his breast
He stood like a monarch oak brea,ng the Storm
Which party had raised round the spot where it crew.
Uumoved were its branches mistaken its FORM
BY the lighnngs that flashed or the whirlwnd that
blew.
The proud ship Of state Turbulent sea,
Like feather tossed while iompests oerwhelm
The crew looked aghas, at the rocks on her lee,
But Hope beamed again when the sage took the helm
The old man has gone-rich in honor and years.
long life Of glory, though still far to brief
His foes are silent--his friends are in tears,
And the rancor of party is smo,hered in grief
Let HIM rest-let him rest, for the struggle is Ger
The Giver Of all hath sent forth his decree:
His voice shall be heard in our Councils no more.
But his epltaph's writ in the hearts Of the free.
