The first and highest OF our earthly duties IS
the support OF our family, and to this end have
been most anxiously and industriou'ly engaged
in nv profession, until much affection and III

my professional avocations. To discharge this

possible for me otherwise to procure the mean;
for its accomplishment Believing that both my
education and pursuits in life, together with

By such a character as lhaye formed among those

ling to stand or fall. And when the inquiry
which is proper and right to be instituted in

the country? 1.-THE answer, SO far as am con
cerned, shall not be satisfactory, it will be the
duty of every patriot to vote against me, but
if on the contrary the reply shall be in the afr.
native, may justly hope to receive the conf.
dence and support Of my fellow citizens.
As the Office is entirely disconnected with the
political questions of the day, shall not even
allude to the position which occupy in regard
to this subject. TO you the selection which is
to he made, among the Candidates before you,
may be matter Of but little care--to me it is
matter Of vast interest and Importance; and
trust that the examination and enquiry which
you may institute in regard to the character and
qualifications of those who are running for this
office, will lead you to the conclusion, that the
discharge of its duties, and the interest of the
public,in connection with them, may be safely
entrusted to

From the National Intelligencer
PRINTERS

A writer in the Mobile Herald, who has been
for sixteen years connected with the public press,
holds the following deserved commcndatory Ian
guage of the members Of the craft. None who
have had an opportunity of Judging will fail to
admit the business of his remarks. He says:
SIN all our experience (and we have visited in
that time four different Governments from the one
under which we were born and educated we have
always found among printers not only more intel
ligence, but more liberality of opinion, more of
looks with forgiving eye as we'll upon the frail-
ties of erring humanity as upon the jars and con-
tcntons that grow out of either religion or poll
tics, than any other class of men, not excepting the
teachers of the religion Of the Bible themselves,
the statesman who thunders in theforum. Print
ers have sort of freemasonry with the whole
world. Conversant not only with events that are
transpiring in their own ncghborhool, but over
the whole universe, their occupation, and the pc
cuiiar province in which they move, are all calcu-
lated to bring within the scope of their vision.
and the circle of their interests the opinions and
the feelings ofthe entire family of man. 1t is
similar community of interests, and a personal
converse with the whole world that make the
honest tar whole-souled man, friend of his spe-
eies. in whatever port he meets them But the
printer IS his superior in respect the field of
letters, the garden of science, and the very foun-
tain Of learning, are in his range, and measurably
under his control. With scarcely an exception
there is not one of the profession that good man
might not be proud to take by the hand as an as
sociate and a friend, or that the statesman
might not take into his counsel with satisfaction to
himself and benefit to the world"

ALMOST INCREDIBLE BARBARITY.

The Picayune says From the officers of the
steamer, Somerville which boat came into port
yesterday morning, we learn the particulars of a
most horrible event which has recently taken place
at Cypress Bend, Arkansas just above Columbia.
A man by the name of Stewart residing there,
was some time since robbed of negro, by, as he
supposed, some woodchopper of the vicinity
The circumstance, it seems threw him into vio-
lent and uncomfortable rage, and failing to catch
the thief or recover his negro, he swore that his
dogs should eat the first qcOOd-cAopper that erer o.
gain rentmred upon his ground!
wood-chopper stopped at Stewards door about
nightal requesting the shelter ofthe rooftill NOR
ming. Stewart admitted him. and soon after let in
upon the man "a parcel of savage Young pups, Sc
curing the doors against his egress. These, how
ever, the poor wood-chopper managed to keep at
bay, upon which Stewart turned in his full grown
dogs, urging them to rend and tear the unhappy
man to pieces. Driven to desperation, the poor
wretch for some time kept off even these; when
like very fend in human form, Stewart rushed
in with his gun and shot down the stranger. The
remainder Of the story is almost too revolving for
pen to write eye to read. The demon Stewart
actually kept his oath 1t is given to us in ver-
table relation that e'er life was yet extinct the
ravenous dogs flew to their horrid repast and
tore the unfortunate man limb from limb The
frightful narrative almost sets belief at defiance
Stewart instantly fled, and a reward of 81, 900 is
offered for his apprehension; part we believe by
the Governor Of Arkansas and part subscribed by
the citizens of Columbia. The neighbors found
the bones OF the poor woodchopper scattered about
and picked clean by the ferocious dogs.

From Kendall's Expositor.
MR.. WISE.

-
This gentleman is now placed in a situation well
calculated to excite reflection In heyiolence and
of party feelings, no man has IN
his charges done more injustice to others, and now
the poisoned chalice is returned to his ownlips.
We were told that while the Post Office Build
ing was in flames in 1886, he wished that AMOS
KENDALL was in their midst. and said that Amos
had escaped him by day, intimating that we had
set the Building on fire to destroy the evidences OF
some villany which he was about to elicit At
the moment those monstrous imputations were
thrown out, the said AMOS KENDALL, having ris-
from sick bed, was exerting every faculty OF
body and mind for the preservation of the books
and papers he was charged with intent to destroy,
and happily succeeded. But no exposure was
made by Mr.. WISE, and none attempted What
might have been charged under the TVbig moral
code of 1910, had the books and papers not been
preserved, it is impossible 10 conceive. Perhaps
we were as uncharitable as Mr.. WISE; for we
then thought, that men like him and STANLY,
who could SO far forget their obligations to fel-
low man, as to charge him with fragrant crime
without the least cause, not too good to COM
NIT the same crime themselves or by their instru-
ments, and the exposed condition of the books and
papers in a very combustible building, was a
source of great anxiety One unsuccessful attempt
was made to burn the building by setting fire to
papers on the mantel piece of the Postmaster Gen
erals own room, thus bringing it home to US as
near possible; but the fire almost miraculously
went out after burning to cnders pile of loose
letters and papers. Mr. NILES apprehensions
were so strong that he doubled the guard; and
happy were we when we saw the whole safely
transferred into the hands of the Wings
What villanies have they been able with two
years possession to bring to light? So far from
finding any thing corrupt in our administration of
the Department, we believe the most violent are
now ready to admit that our errors were on the
other side, and that we were ObstinGteiy honest.
We know not whether Mr.. WISE entertans
this opinion but we suspect he has not the least
suspicion now, that AMOS KENDALL burnt the
Post Office Building to conceal his vllanies; and
if he reflect upon the past as good man ought.
he will look upon recent events as bnt providen-
tal inflicton for his own injustice If he view it
in that light, they will do him no harm, but be-
come the starting point of new and more honor
able career
