AMERICAN STATESMAN.

In turning over in our mind the great
men OF the present day. we find many
who are praise-worlhy; many whose ac-
tons both in and out of Congress, kim
die up our warmest admiration, and we
feel highly pleased with our privileges
as frecmen.
But when we run our eye through the
Senate chamber, and view the selected
wisdom of the nation; see them measure
their strength in strong and fiery debates,
and when the waring elements clash, we
feel that here, the vile passions have sway
and patriotism is not uppermost in their
Houghts,-in scenes like these our eyes
are directed to the northern side of the
Hall, you see tall majestic figure rising
gracefully to his feet. At full length, he
puts forth his arm and pointing his long
tapered finger in the direction of the chair,
says in manly and graceful tone of voice,
"Mr President" At this word, silence
is as by magic restored, and all attention
is drawn towards the speaker, and you
may know from the death-like silence
that prevail, that mighty man is upon his
feet, and you see in that noble figure all
the attributes of an American Statesman.
As he proceeds in debate, you see the ar
garments of the opposition drop from the
right and the left-he speaks without e(-
fort, his eloquence is like the stream WIN
ding around the side of the hill, it is pure
and steady. The great fountain from
which he draws supplies, will never be
exhausted-,he union of twenty-six states
is his brth-right, their safety, interest,
and welfare his daily study, to preserve,
to promote and prosper Identified with
,he-best interests Of his country from his
early youth, he boldly battles with every
scheme that can war against her interests.
1t is then you find the flesh creep and
the blood flow freely, the heart beats
high with admiration, and in the Joy of
your heart you exclaim, am glad that |
am an American citizens, and proud of a
country that can rear and bring forth such
men as HENRY CLAY, THE AMERL
CAN STATESMAN.

in private life, are vices which partske of
the character of crimes in the conduct Of
public affairs. The unfortunate victim Of
these passions cannot see beyond the lii-
tie, petty, contemplate circle of his own
personal interests. All his thoughts are
Withdrawn from his country, and con-
centrated on his consistency, his firmness,
himself The high, the exalted, the sub
lime emotions of patriotism, which soar
ing towards Heaven, rises far above all
mean, low, or selfish things, aud is absor-
bed by one soul-transporting thought OF
the good and the glory of ones country,
are never felt in his impenetrable bosom.
That patriotism which, catching its in
spirations from the immortal God, and
leaving at an Unreasonable distance be
low all lesser, grovelling, personal inter-
ests and feelings, animates and prompts to
deeds of self-sacrifce, of valor, of devo-
ton, and Of death itself-that is public
virtue-thatis the noblest, the sublilnest
ofall public virtues!

93-The Gazette of last week, in mott
cling our nominated ticket, said that Tho
mas Roman was srather too well known
in his own neighborhood to stand any

Editor of the Gazette is rather too well
known in his own neighborhood, to stand

from Mr.. Roman, and who do not know
the Editor of the Gazette might be led to

Several gentlemen from his district OF

his steady habits, his ameni.y of manners,

G5slt was asserted in the Gazette of
last week that Nathan Wilkinson was ap.
pointed a collector of the direct tax in this
county. Not being aware that the Asses
sors had made their return, before which,
the direct tax cannot be levied; and of
course no one appointed to collect it; we
on Wednesday last, while the Commits
sioners were in session, addressed the fol-
lowing note to them.
To the County Commissioners.
GENTLEMEN:-It is stated in the Cecil
Gazette of last week, that you have APP

@-kEEP 1T BEFORE THE pEOpLl

Mr.. Editor Bosee of the Cecil Gazette.
speaking in reference to the nomination OF
Nathan Wilkinson for the Legislature
says: "lIe is pompous young man from
one of the adjoining states. lie owns
no property in Maryland" will add no
property any where else. But is this to
disfranchise Nathan Wilkenson2 Has it
come to this! in this land oflibcrty, that a
poor man is unqualified, (however COM
petent he may be, for Office, because he
does not own real estate? We say, NO!
and many beside lis will say, NO! on the
day of election. thought that many of
our aristocratic opponants held this doc
trlne, but never for moment imagined
that the organ of the party would have
the hardihood to avow such sentiments
GIVE admit the fact that Nathan Will.
kinson is poor man, that he is unlortun-
ate in having lost an arm; but we will
never admit that poverty, or the loss
of an arm disqualifes man from
voting, or holding Office, provided
he is honest end qualified "And at
the last October election had not lived
long enough in this State to vote so says
Mr.. Gazette Editor but what are the facts?
MIR. Wilkinson came into this state in
eighteen hundred and thirty five and has
resided here ever since. This is known
to many respectable citizens, and some of
them rich men Mr.. Bosee; if you will not
take epoor people as good authority.
