SIGNS OF THE TIMES.
1t augurs well for the times that honesty Of purpose
though separated from good policy, claims orpearance
and respect. 1t speaks volumes for mans integrity
and strength Of principle and for his superiority to all
extrnsic advantages when he has the moral courage
deliberately and firmly to retrace mistaken steps or
conccde contested points, from conviction that they
are inexpedient untenabe. The man who does
this in the more private walks of social and domestic
life has hold upon our confidence which calumny
attacks in vain and though may reasonably cal
culae that he who is faithful small things will
be SO over greater, admiration and confidence are
increased when see him pursuing the same honest
and independent course in stations of high official
dignity the representative and agent of others. lie
who can stand the gazing stock of nations, while his
opponents are casting his discarded policy and for
saken schemes in his teeth with every possible agg
vation and still outIIde the storm with firm and fear
less purpose, is-a man-an honest man, the no.
best work of God ~ Such are the men whom the
people will trust---who draw their confidence
without as king permit of their will But don't mis-
take us not speaking of those politicians who
veer gradually to their interests the popular voice,
moving sideways and sliding adrotly from point
of compass to another Neither have we any such
| respect and encouragement for another class, who
raise fog to blind the eyes of their compeers the
real size position and distance of things, or fiddle
their intelects and lower their standard of honor to
secure majority before they venture their opn
| schemes. No. such men lack not only integrity and
good principles, but eoloards, and should be
sorry to them held up for national suffrage bu il
thew are let our Democratic try whether they
be not men of Clay! President Tyler has shown
us that he belongs the first class of PATRIOTS His
honesty in recommending the repeal of the Distrbu-
ton act is vouched for in the frmness with which he
vetoed the fiscal pet and the Wings rail at him,
the Democrats have found additional cause to regard
him as an honest man, anxious to maintain the honor
and benefit the country. AS for MIR. Clay his retire
ment looks very much like retreat but perhaps he
has only turned to grass to be in preparation for
the coming harvest.
