TRUE COURAGE.

We hear great deal about the courage
of men but when the act eulogise
comes 10 be analysed, it turns out, min,
times in ten, TO have been mere ANNA
courage, such as is possessed by bull dogs
maniacs, wild bears and sharks.
The lion is coward he quaiIs before
the piercing glance of man, and assassin
like, seeks an opportunity to spring upon
him unawares, and always when hi.
head is turned away. The old soldier is
not always bold, for he fears The dead
walker upon The lonely moor, and hears
the shrek Of the dying Toe in tho wall oil
a summer evening breeze. The old sailor
Is fearful at times he fears TO set sail
on Friday-dares not harm a mother Ca
rvs chicken-and the bare mention Of q
ghost on the birth deck sends him scam
pering alolt The great tyrant Richard
ILL.,, was craven, for shadows struck
more terror to his soul than fifty Rich
monds in the field The Indian brave
pauses in his march to blood, to quail be-
fore the roll of the thunderstorm and the
bare mention of the plague put thousands
to flight at Cairo, when the single eagles
of France tapped their eaudy wings a.
bove the tombS of the Pharroahs What
is true courage 1t is that moral princi.
pal which innocence fixes in the heart Of
mankind. 1t causes the frai woman to
stand erect amid the ocean gale, and
smooth her dress for a winding sheet in
the Shiny sepulchre Of the deep. 1t caus-
es the patriot to lie down in his blood,
with a smile upon his foe and the cry of
Liberty upon his lips. |, nerves the
weak to burn amid the luggots Of perse
cution, and rejoice amid the torment. Ii
he never Iorsakes one in sickness or in
health-in the crowd or alone. 1t burns
brighter as the night Of death comelh
and cheers the watches with its manly
mein. Most men have some weak spots
some unacCountabIe fears--some ne d.
less alarms. Superstition makes towards

of blood. The conquerer OF GoIiah trem.

amid the wilderness Of earth, when none

courage like good wine, needs no trum-
peter. 1t lives not over the wine bowl,
and frequent seldoms, il ever the midnight
carouse. Do you suppose Colt, the muir
derer, had true courage If he had, no
death stain would mark his hands. Look
at him in his stone dungeon, with his
ponderous letters bowling hun to his pal

THE SECRETARY OF WAX.

Hon. JOHN c SPENCER has accepted
the office of secretary OF War under Pres
ident Tyler.
Than Mr. S spencer no man in al N. Y
more fully possessed the esteem and con-
fdence Of the people oflhat state; and no
man is moro Justly deserving. 1t is well
as it is truly remarked by the Albany
Evening Journal, that the name OF Mr..
Spencer sis identified with all that is
brightest and most exciting in the judicial
political and legislative history of the
state for the last twenty-five years: He
was, during his minority the private Sc
cretary Of Gov. Thompkins, and at the
early age of eighteen, was distinguished
FOR the vigorous productions eff his pen,
Previous 10 the War, we believe, he re-
moved to the village of Canandaigua, in
the county Of Ontario, Of which he was
appointed Postmaster, and where he re-
sided until his return TO this city.
lie pursued the practice of law in that
county with eminent success, and soon
arose to the highest ranks in the profess
sion. He served as District Attorney Of
the county for several years.-lIe was
elected 10 congress in 1917, where he
siguaIized himselfb his celebrated in
vestigation and report upon the condition
and conduct Of the United States Bank.
J, TyIer,the President was amembr Of this
committee and Mr.. Spencer the chair
man, In 1890 he was elected TO the as
sembly and chosen Speaker.-He here
introduced many salutary rules Tor the
regulation Of the business for the House.
In 1894 he was elected to the State Senate
for four years, and before the experation
of his term, was associated by Gov. Gin
ton with Messrs Duer and Butler in the
Revision Of the Laws, work Of vas;
labor, the greater part Of which was dis
charged by him. lie was subsequently
appointed by Governor Pitcher special
CONSUL to conduct the prosecution against
The abductors oil William Morgan. In
1881 and 1888 he was again member
If the assembly. In 1889 he was up
pointed by the Iegssture 10 the office Of
Secretary ofState, and Superintendent Of
Common Schools, when he removed to
his city, where he has since resided.
This is but an imperfect recital Of the Of
ices held by Mr.. Spencer"

leaves the clod upon the gallows. Had
Colt been taken in the act of defending
his family, his person or his country
had he, like the unfortunate Andre or the
lamenled Hale, been sentenced TO death
for patriotism-wouId they have quailed
before the eye Of man, or tossed upon
his pallet, at midnight, the coward OF a
dream? No-the hammer, as it nailed the
cross beam Of his galows, would have
been music to his eur, and whispers from
shove would have come upon the night
wind and ulled his weary heart to sleep,
lie is onI y courageous who fears not
God. 1t is no argument against our pos
sItlon 10 say that men have fought like
tigers for wink, and murdered their fell
lows for an idle look. Such men like
/ Renegade christians, become the bloodiest
Turks, for every pulse beats from their
craven hearts this truth Coward you
are counterfeit, though you murder half
the world. THE gunner OF the English
frigate Drake, we believe VINO placed his
hand between the fire and the powder
magazine, and held it there until it was
burned TO cinderS, and thus saved the lives
o! many men-and the engineer on board
Of steamboat on lake Erie, who sat upon
his safety valve amid terrific gale, and
thus enabled the vessel 10 escape from
dreadful lee shore, when an ounce more
pressure from within the boiler would
have hurled him and his fellows in bloody
atoms upon the midnight wavcs-gave
evidence of true courage but how much
courage is shown by cutting Of throats
with bowie knIhes, or a shooting match
with rifles, when one party is sure 10 be
tho best cowerer or the trues; shot ? If u
duel must be fought and we are not TO be
considered as denying the necessity Of a
settlement by means of salt -petre, in some
outrageous cases, pistols are good enough.
We have been led to make these res
marks by the perusual Of the circum
stances attending a bloody and unneces-
sary duel between Judge Tenney and
Mr.. RawIey, Of Natchez Mississippi.
The parties met armed with rifles, pis.

the word was given, and he received his
adversary's death shot in the back
This duel, it is stated, took place because

ate this statement. Thus was Judge
shot in the back, for performing his duty
agreeable to the laws of his State; and all
the world exclaims how courageous these
two men are. We believe that men from
long dazzling in blood, can look upon the
crimson tide of life as it leaves its victim
with brutal composure but we have yet

other men 10 die for their country, their
affairs, or their hearihs.

Which dwelt in burning tone
On other and on nobler times,
When great exploits were done
II touched the anxious listener
With truths he only knew.
Whose conscience scared with darkest deeds
Still darker deeds pursued.
But there is one whose sulcn gloom
BespeIks dastard's part
His haggard brow is branded with
The baseness of his heart:
He Turks beneath the corridor,
Yetwth reInorsefu thrill
His Utmost heart is echong
The note of horror still.
Revenge CLEANED from his threatening eye
On the devoted youth
Who dared sustain the peoples cause
With fearlesncss and truth
He fell without single pang!
Yet with his latest sign
Exclaimed, " For thee, my much lov'd land,
For thee resigned die"
And where is he whose vengeful steel
Has done the miscreant doodt
Amid the gay, uniecling throng,
He wears the honor'd mead!

The knight of lady fair,
He thinks not of the widows grief,
The orphans silent tear.

Mr.. PreSton.-The enemies Of this
noble specimen Of Southern chivaIry have
been endeavoring to tarnish his reputa-
ton by holding an Indignation meeting in
South Carolina, and denouncing his pub
lie course. The theatre they selected for
their operations was the county of Fair
field, where party heat and political ul-
traism are said TO abound, and where it
was supposed feeling enough might have
been aroused to pass the appropriate
resolutons.--The meeting assembled,
however, and the prime movers we're sig
naly loiled in their generous object ana
we're unable to procure the passage Of
even moderate resolutions of censure.
The N. Y. Courier thus admirably hits
off this dScreditble proceedings aud lu-
dicrous failure.

Carolina and scalded all the iiremen
The followers Of Mr.. Calhoun in the
Fairfield District in that State, deter

1t is true that gentleman had done nothing

had not promised to do, and which he ac-
tuaIly did 90 up to the commencement Of
