ENERGY OF CHARACTER.

Perhaps the best lesson boy can learn, is to rely
on his own individual energy. 1t may be safely as

energy Youth should appreciate the value OF this
truth Let him be not discouraged if he fail to dis
cover in himself the s'heaven-born fire of genius y
anticipation Of such discovery is illusory. Energy is

writes from Hamilton Upper Canada under date
of April 18th. After abiding to a statement in
lolmer number Of that paper that Hogan his re-
turn had made an infiammaofy speech at public
meeting with regard to his arrest at Lockport, the
writer goes on as follows 'That Hogan did make an
infammaory appeal TO the sympathies of the people is
correct but that they co-operated with him in his
views and purposes, is gross libel upon the good
of the community, which will appear by the ac-
campaigning minute Of the meeting and as lie has

From the Harrisburg Keystone
THE $1,000 FINE.

One portion of the congressional proceedings
which transpired on the 18th instant IS desersihs
the especial attention OF the public. President J.
er il will be remembered, recommended IN ms re-
cent annual message the reimbursement oi .he me
imposed upon General JACKSON, by Judge iiail al
New Orleans. This is accommodation winch has
redounded 10 his lasting honor--ohe 100, when has
elected hearty and cordial response from The Anne
rcan people. If there be any one sentiment more
deeply implanted in the breasts OF our countrymen
than another il is that of ardent admiration for the
character and services OF the venerable Hero Of
New Orleans and President Tyler, in that portion Of
his message has touched chord which will vibrate
from one extremity of the Union TO the other.
There could not be more convincing evidence of
The perfect sincerity with which President Ty Ter
made the recommendation, than the strenuous and
manly efforts made by one of his particular friends
in the House, to give it full and immediate effect
When on the day referred to- the question arose in
Congress- as to the disposition of this branch of the
moved lis reference to the Committee of the Whole
on the state Of the Union" According to
Outstanding, the effect Of this motion, had it
ceeded, would have been to secure immediate, or at
leost speedy, action on the subject 1t would have
compelled gentlemen 10 I" toe the mark, and the
country would have been at once enabled To dis
cover who were, and who were not, capable OF do
ing this last remnant OF justice to the grey haired
veteran Of the Hermitage. Although the democra-
tic members, without exception, united with the
immediate friends of the President in support of Mr.
LAWNS motion 1t defeated by the Wigs who
voted in favor of its reference TO the standing
mittee on the judiciary The object q this reference
is self evident II is to stave of" action upon the
subject altogether. The cunning coons imagine that
such disposition OF the question is equivalent TO its
consignment to "the tomb OF the Capule's." lhey
hope 10 prepent action upon it during the present
session. and calculating also with gross mpiety 'the
issues of life and death" expect that before another
Congress shall convene, the venerable ex-Presdent
will have passed from this " to another and a better
world" Providence and the People will we trust,
yet defeat their iniquitous schemes
The democracy of the Union will turn with plea
sure TO this movement of Mr. Irwin, who by it has
furnished additional evidence Of that hightoned mag
nanimty which all, who by personal acquaintance
have been enabled to appreciate his character, so
freely accord to him. We trust he will not suffer
the matter to sleep, but will pursue il with his
tomary perseverance, until crowned with complete
success,

ALL THE DE(

ALL THE DECENCY.
The New Yok American is not only the head Of
the federal press in New York, but is recognized as
being the pink of " good Society" and g all the de-
cency" AS sample of the matter which fills its
columns we give the following:
Mr. Tyler, to-day, sent in another of his misera.
BILE little mockveto messages, in relation to the Dis
tribution BILL and the Contested Elections bill, which
he meanly pocketed last session. 1t was received
with unanimous contempt, The poor creature can
hardly get himself even the honor of loud laugh
from the House now. He has settled into hopeless
and helpless quielude Of infamy, from which nothing
will disturb him till lS45 Nobody what he
says or does, or thinks. He do us no hurt and
he can do the locofocos no good No gentleman in
Congress calls on him and he is left TO the compan-
ionship Of the very scavengers of hcentous press
He is already wholesome example to all traitors
and ingrates."
g Despised, abused, derded and almost spit upon,
by those for whose unmeanng promises and deceit
full smiles he renounced good faith and truth alb
horred by the good for his dishonesty and scorned by
the bad for his folly-a more pitiable instance of
sefpunished crime seen by astonshed
world His present elevation is a mere pory to
him."
After this specimen Of vulgar abuse, we should
like to know where the " scavengers of a licentious
press" can be found, who compare with the Ame-
rican in its filthy work. Yet, such men talk of a
" want of decency," with as much cool mpudence as
ii is possible for the Imagination to conceive
