EWING'S POSl'ffON.-Themas Ewing, ihs late
Secretary of the Treasury in letter published IN the
Marietta Ineligencer in July, 1S40, previous to the
Presidential contest uttered the following sentiment:
GJ"I said that our opponents were attempting 10
make the question ola Bank the issue between the par
ties spoke oftfe impudencs and absurdity Of tho at
tempt" ".lH
1t will be thus seen that the position taken by the
President that the people did not decide in the election
of 1870, in favor ofa National Bank is fully sustained
by almost every prominent who took active part
in politics at that period.

At the lone deserted hall.

But they came not to his earl
Beside the cabin porch
An empty keg was there
And high upon the gable.end
A euon skin Auttsred bare:
They brought old scenes to mind
The cider reves dear
And he drew his sleeve across his nose,

Oh, do not deem him weak,
Because his nose did shame the rose

There lie much less propensity 10 crime than
indifference to virtue in lbe world. We make
laws to punish the smallest crime. while We
make no provisions for encouraging virtue.
For every man vicious by nature, there is a
score drawn into evil ways by evil example,
and the lack Of some temptation to be good.

Unpopular feeling in this country. Let them
look at home. The late election for members
OfParliament in Liverpool, where about 10000
