SIT is THE RIPEsT FRUIT WHICH
is MOST PICKED AT.p

II there is any truth ia this old adage, then
must the President be most truly ripe aud pre-
cious fruit. There are certain papers in the
United States, of the most opposite politics
which are increasingly engaged in the work Of
deiaming him, and, as far as possible, bringing
him into odium with their respective parties.
The Wing Clay press begun the cry of traitor TO

not be traitor TO his oath of Office Al that
early day, not Democratic paper in the Union

upon him for his 6rmness and consistency

eralism ? Then has he been a traitor all the
days of his life, for we defy you TO point TO a
single Federal vote ever give by the President,
or 10 single Federal act ever performed by
him. What is the matter, good gentlemen
pray tell us what is the matter? Speak out and
let the country understand you. What fright

causes you TO catch up the slang Of The Clay

mocracy, let il be so, and we shall submit with
pleasure; but don't pluck out the eyes of the
President in order 10 accomplish your designs.
Don't tell the People too plainly that you fear
the President is getting too fast hold upon
them, and that hold must be broken at the ex-
pense of truth, courtesy, and fair dealing.

BELLs.-The chimes of bells are S f., intimately as
sociated in idea with the rural sounds and domestic
quiet Of the county, that listen t them with the
same feelings inspired by the singing OF woodland
brook It's path of pebbles, the hum Of insects m
a summer field, or any other of the many voices Of
nature. To have heard the chimes once, though It
be but broken recollection Of infancy, is enough.
The ear never forgets while the he8rl feels. ltls
said that the delight caused by hearing the sound Of
bells, is altogether arbitrary that cheat ourselves
into the belief Of their melody by their association. Of
home, or the village church under which have ale
ways heard them. Perhaps So but the real eNl.-
tence Of some things consists not in what they are,
but in what they appear. This is vile doctrine IN
morals, but it is good philosophy in other matters.
The lover who secs Helens beauty In brow Of
Egypt violates no law of morals or rule Of logic,
but rs most reasonably entitled TO his belief. 1t Is
no deception Of conscience injury done to homes
ty; il is a good trait, and commendabe in society.

natural claims to liberty, that are born before sys
