AN HONEST MAN.


We have been much pleased with the idea
which was suggested in some of the journals
which we have read, that what gave the
name of Gen. Harrison such force IN the
elections of the last year was, the idea,
whether true or false, that he was an HONEST
MAN. The popular mind had taken the no.
tion. that, whether or not he excelled in in
tellectual gifts, he had the advantage OF be-
ing prc.emnently an honest man. This we
believe is truth. And it is truth worth re-
cording. 1t shows in the public mind dis
position to value true excellence, and to
place our safety more in moral principle
than in mere intellectual greatness.
If the instances of moral delinquency IN
our public men, which have been from time
to time chronicled, may have the effect to
produce n general conviction that moral
character is an indispensable part of trust
worthiness great good will have come from
the evil. Washngton's principle OF requlr-
ing good moral character in men to be ap-
pointed to Office, had its basis in the pro-
foundest wisdom. And we should rejoice to
see that principle fully revived. No nation
can expect lasting prosperity. when the seat
of its government is "where Satan's seat is,"
and whose chief rulers are the chief of its
sinners. Yet we suppose that, for many
years back, the capital of this nation has
been a sink of wickedness, and that many
members of Congress have been faithful
Oft sins of the people.

Small Birds Great Blcssings.-I wish our
intelligent farmers could be awakened to the
importance of preserving robins and otner
small birds, as a means Of aiding in their
work. The inhumanity which suffers every
lazy lubber of q boy who can rest an old
kings arm over a stone wall, to kill or fright
en- every poor Iinnet that sings in the fields
and every robin. red breast that dares eat an
unripe cherry. and save a child from the
dvsentery, is q short-sighted piece of selfish
ness. These harmless birds live upon grubs
and other worms and insects, and the slight
iuroads thew make upon the farmers crops
are repaid, an hundred fold, by a protection
thew afford against thousand destroyers.-
These birds, if not frightened will become SO
tame as to perch on the hand, or light on the
plough as it turns over the furrOw. No good
farmer should fail to teach his boys to spare
and cherish these harmless and often tune
full visitants to his fields and orchards. Like
the good man in one of our Western towns,
who plead so earnestly for the poor crows in
our Legislature, few years since, would
enforce the legal penalties for trespass
against any one who shot them on my land.
The crows, too, are natures living mouse
traps, instead of being tame, almost DO
nestle bird, as in some other countries,
where farmers have been taught their value
bv long experience, have been frightened
into mean piifercrs of unwed corn hills! a
good crow is worth Il buShel Of wheat or 9TH
er grain to the acre, and sometimes ten! "A
knowledge of ornithology, and not pena!
laws, is what our farmers and their sons need
to induce them to regard their true interest
| in this matter.

their shouts as the glad tidings of victory
came in from North Carolina. gazed with
admiration and pride at her magnificent
public works, and while borne along as If
by magic, through her rich valleys and fruit
full hills, felt at home; her territory was
part of my country, her citizens were broth
ers we were all struggling together. with
one mind and one spirit, in resisting the en-
croachments of power. While gazed in
wonder and establishment at the majestic
cataract ON the northern border-'a scene
which nature seems to have made for her
own gratification-even this was insignifi.
cant in comparison with the moral Niagara
Of noble people like hers, casting aside oil
attachment for her degenerate son, and gal
lantly coming to the rescue Of the country.
1t is not only n glorious country, but 1t is
inhabited by noble race of men-men of
strong arms and stout hearts. Sir, wish
the gentleman from South Carolina would
visit that country. He ought to go there,
and sec what industry and enlightened pub
lie shirt can do in q wilderness. Look at
her charitable institutions, her asylums tor
the deaf and dumb, for the blind, and her
common schools. He will see the difference
between people, working people. guided
by the lessons Of experience and common
sense, and one whose leaders are cternally
in chase of seq serpents and jcck-o-lanthorns
IN politics.
Instead of finding a nation of "plunder-
ers," as he and the South Carolina clique
seem to regard our Northern people, he will
end an educated. hospi:able, brave, and in
telligent population. Yes, sir, they have

memorable field. and which they command
ed you to bear to this metropolis as speak
ing emblem of the valor of their old COM
mander, and of the perils he had undergone,
has been delivered over to my hands, and
will be placed by me among the honored
trophies of the republic. The account which
was given me some years ago. by the gallant
Ensign now no more, who upheld that ban.
ner amid the perils of the fight, had prepa.
red me to expect to see it as it is, gashed by
the tomahawk and rent by balls. That En-
sign alone, of all the officers, with but twen-
ty men of the gallant company over which,
when the sun went down, that flag so proud.
ly waved, survived to tell in the morning of
the hazards of that terrible night. From that
brave soldier, who afterwards held high
place in the hearts of the people of Indiana,
learned properly to appreciate the fearless
bearing and noble conduct OF the patriotic
citizen who has so recently exchanged this
earthly tabernacle of clay for one that endu.
