power OF patronage the ability 10 confer the distinctions
of place, the substantial profits Of oice and al
the weight of political hnnors and confidence Pot Il
all altogether and Mr.. NJ would not trust any mortal
man with lis possession. If even the Father Of his
country could return from the grave, and would ask Tor
such trust, Mr.. H. would not put it into his hands,
unless he had first received revelation from heaven

Certainly it scheme well pitched u SUIT the pre-
sen, tone Of the public mind II exhibited shrewd e
quaintance with the character and present condition u
the American people. The manner in which The pro
iect places received, and that too where
there was an accumulation both Of knowledge and OF
intellectual strength seemed, III this respect, TO Justify
Tie nnlicpaons of author Even minds like tn Sc
could look at il as money measure alone, and seemed
entirely 10 disregard the deep and dangerous tendency
which lay concealed beneath It's surface.
But il was sad that Tie project was to be modified

moderation and sagacl,y, 10 man could more implicit
IL rely, should be able 10 accomplish such modl-
