From The Chronicle and Old Domini n
OUR REPUBLICAN, PRESIDENT.

The INSCRIPTIONS attacks of the Washington Globe
upon our excellent Chief Magistrate, find no counte-
nance at the hands Of the honest democracy of the
nation Very few of the papers belonging the de-
mocratic party have approved of its suicidal
and those few belong TO the displaced office holders,
who fight alone for "the party" and fat living
There are always two sides to a question; the
Globe is not exactly infable in every respect we
propose to lay before readers few opinions
in opposition to those recently expressed by that reck-
less and defamatory journal. The first Is from a
speech of the Hon. John b Weller, of Ohio, whose
democracy even the Globe dare call in question.
swell, sir, how stands the case now' Mr. Tyler
refuses TO be mere party president; he refuses to
permit legislative caucus Of Wing members to pre-
scribe to him the in which he shall discharge
his executive duties he refuses TO let other men con-
strue for him that instrument which he had to
maintain and defend; in the language of The spoils
haters Of 1910, he above party discipline he
refuses to fill the capacious maws of the horde of
otfce-seekers who constantly besettng him TIL 5
is the head and front of his offending; and for this
he daily denounced this floor by these same dis
interested, no party patriots of 1910, as base and
infamous traitor
Mr.. w said, he repeated that John Tyler had no
ordinary difficulties to encounter. He had been
placed IN position requiring the exercise Of great
hrmness and courage. He came into office when the
tariff had run down TO IFS minimum point, with an
accruing revenue wholly inadequate to defray the
cessary wants Of the Government The banking sys-
tem-which, under vicious State legislation had
swollen to an enormous bulk-was xpodng spread
ing ruiz and desolatIon all the interests OF the
country. States as well as individuals were deeply
involved in debt and national bankruptcy seemed
almost inevitable. In this emeI gcncy, he was back
ed by no party here. Both of the great parties in
would not s Rsd o esanst n him The Wings
the mandates Of their Captain General, and because
he would not direct his patronage in such way as
to secure him in the succession
That the President has been actuated, in the dis
charge of his official duties by the highest consdera-
tons of patriotism, he had never doubted. That he
conscientously believes that the which he
has from time 10 time recommended TO our conside-
ration calculated TO advance the interests and
cure the permap Mt prosperity of the country, he did
not question-and lac would venture the prediction,
that, after the excitement which now prevails should
have subsidized, and reason once more permitted
TO exercise her proper influence over the minds of
men, after the brawling partisans who are now de-
nouncing him here have turned their attention 10
some object, the purity Of his intentions, the integrity
of his motives will be doubted by none"

LIBERTY, (AussP) TUESDAY, JANUARY II, ls4s,

eyaded, let them all know, That whatever
III they feel or fear, are just retributlons
Of righteous Heaven for neglected
childhood.
Remember then, the child whose voice
first lisps, to-day, before that voice shall
whisper sedition in secret, or thunder
treason at the head Of an armed band.--
Remember the child whose hand, today,
first lifts its tiny bauble, before thai hand
shall scatter fire brands, arrows, and
death Remember those sportive groups
of youth, in whose halcyon bosoms there
sleeps an ocean, as yet scarcely rutfied
by the passions, which soon shall heave it
with the tempesi's strength. Remem~
Der, that whatever station in life you
may fill, these mortals, these immortals,
are your care. Devote, expend, conse-
crate yourselves to the holy WORK oftheir
Improvement. Pour out light and truth,
as God pours sunshine and rain. No
longer seek knowledge as the luxury of
few but dispense it amongst all as the
bread of life. Learn only how the igno~
rant may learn; how the innocenfmay
be preserved, the vicious reclaimed.-
Call down the astronomer from the skies;
call up the geologist from his subterra-
mean explorations; summon, if needs be,
the mighliest intellects from the Council
Chamber of the nation; enter clustered
halls, where the scoliest muses. over su :
perhuous annotalions; dissolve conclave
and synod, where subtle polemies are
vainly discussing their barron dogmas;
collect whatever of talent, or erudi,ion,
or eloquencc, or authority, the broad
land can supply, and go forth and teach
the people. For in the name of'the llvs
ing God, it mus, be proclaimed that Ii
centiousness shall be the liberty; and VIZ
oence and chicanery shall be the law;
and superstition and craft Shall be the
religion; and the self-dostruclive indul-
gence of all sensual and unhallowed
passions, shall be the only happiness Of
that people who neglect the education of
their children. Horace Mann

The right ,cay 10 support c Newspaper.
Much depends upon the supporters Of a
newspaper whether il is conducted with
spirit or interest--if they are negligent
in their payment, the Editors ambition
is broken down--he works lhankless
and Improbable task-he becomes dis
couraged and careess-his paper looses
its pith and interest, it dies. But on the
contrary, if his subscribers are OF the
right sort--if they are punctual, liberal
hearted ellows--always in advance in
the subscription list-taking an interest
on increasing the number Of his sub
scribers-now and then speaking good
word for his paper-cheerng him in his
course by smiles of appropriations; with
such subscribers rs these, one would
foreswear comfort, ease, leisure-every
thing that could possibly stop between
him and The qualification of every lau-
dable desire on their part; | would know
no other pleasure than their satisfaction.
How much then can the supporters Of
newspaper do to make it Interesting and
respectable; indeed, without concurrent
effort on their part, the publisherof
paper will not, cannot bestow the atton
ton which is necessary to make il what
it should be.--Drogheda Argus.

BIRTH OF REMARKABLE TWINS

BIRTH OF REMARKABLE TWINS.
We have received note (says the
Newyork Advertser) from an intelligen.
correspondent at Hanover, Morris Coun-
ty, in this State, giving some account Of
a very remarkable birth in that vicinity,
and lfe death Of the mother (he wife of
Mr. Sylvester Lyon oil Hanover Nech,)
on the 27th ult Mrs. l.. was "A years
of age and is spoken OF as a worthy
woman and tho mother Of several chill
dren. We quote from the note of our
CORES pondent:
''>he lrft, wce!: before her own de-
parture, pair OF twins, which are a
great natural curiosity They are daugh-
tters; each one entirely perlectin its form,
except that both are connected together.
Not like the Siamese twins by single
unbilica ligament; but by a much broa-
der attachment. From the centre Of
the breast to the bottom of the abdomen
they are united together into one, the.
whole breadth of the body; the two faces
lying side by side together in close con.
tact; and the arm Of each crossing the
other on either side, as in very aIlec-
tomato embrace. From the distance at
which they are protruded from each
other by their abdominal breadth, it seems
most likely that their respective inles-
final organizations are distinct, and their
pectoral organizations likewise; yet ex-
ternally there is no visible line Of de,
marcation, except below The abdomen,
and above the middle Of the chest.
They survived. their birth but short
time; but still are preserved by their ia
Their free from putrefaction, and we
should rejoice il the remarkable curlos;-
" might in some way be rendered avail
able to the benefit Of a-ianily to whom
aid in present circumstances would be
very acceptable"

THE TAILOR AND DEAN SWIFT.

Il HE j hlINOR AMI DLNlN ~ W IL
A tailor in Dublin, near the residence
Of the Dean, took it into the "nlnth part
Of his head that he was specially and
diyinely inspired to Interpret the prophe,
cies, and especially the look of Reve-
lation Quitting the shop board, be
turned out a preacher, or rather a
prophet, until his customers had left his
shop; and his family was likely TO fam
ish. His monomania was well known TO
Dean Swift. who, benevolently watched
for some convenient opportunity TO turn
the current of his thoughts. One night
the tailor, as he fancied. got especial
revelation 10 90 and convert Dea Swift,
and next morning took up the line of
march to the deanery. The Dean,
whose study was furnished with glass
door, saw the tailor approach, and in
sianlly surmised the. nature Of his err
rand. Throwing himself into an attitude
Of soemnity and thoughtfulness, with
the Bible opened before him, and eyes
fixed on the 10th chapter Of Revelation,
he awaited his approach. The door
opened, and the taller announced, in an
unearlhly voice, the message "Deall
Swift, am sent by the Almighty to an
nouncc to you"--"Come in, my friend"
said The Dean, am in great trouble, and
no doubt the good Lord has sent you to
help me out Of my difficulty" This un-
expected welcome inspired the taitsr, and
strengthened greatly his assurance in his
own prophetic character, and disposed
him TO listen 10 the disclosure. "My
friend,n said the Dean, 81 have just been
reading the 10Th chapter Of Revelation,
and am greatly distressed at difficulty Il
have met with; and you are the very man
sen, 10 helpme out Here is an account
OF, an augei that came down from Heav-
en-, who was SO large that he placed one
foot ON the sea and the other on the Garth,
and lifted up his hands to Heaven. Now,
my knowledge Of mathematics contin.
ued the Dean, "has enabled me to calcu-
late exactly the size and form Of this
angel; but J am il great difficulty, for I
wish to ascertain how much cloth It will
take to make him a pair Of breeches;
and as that is exactly in your line Of bu~
siness, | have no doubt the Lord has sent
you 10 show me-" This exposition came
like an electric shock to the poor tailor;
he rushed from The house, ran 10 his
shop, and sudden Revision Of thought
and feeling came over him. Making
brooches was exactly in bis line Of bust
ness, he returned 70 his occupation

MARY.
WAN
The lear was in her eye;

The Tear was in her eye;
Upon the lid il hung
Yet smiles were on her cheek,
And music on her tongue.
The pure hue Of her soul
: Wastraced upon her brow
How bright thing on earth!
But how much brighter now!
The sunshine Of her smile
Was soon TO be o'ercast;
For DER her spirits bloom
The blight of sorrow pass'd.
The worm that never dies
But with the dying breath,
Gnawed deep, and on her cheek
Spread the pale hues of death.
She persisted in her prime,
Brief was her LIES eclipse;
Yet cen in death the smile
Played on her faded lips:
She seemed but in Sleep
So calm the spirit pass'd,--
And like setting star,
Was lovely TO the last.
SONG.
Twine not around the aching head
A wreath Of roses,
Deck not with gaudy robes, the bed
Where pain reposes.
Let not hopes joyous footsteps seek
GricI's bower Of sadness,
Nor TO the homesick stranger speak
A tale of gIadness.
Lead NOT the wandering wretch gaze
Where crowds rejoice,
Bid not the pining mourner raise
The iuneful voice.
Let not thy mirth from anguish start,
The fearful treasure,
Nor offer to the breaking heart
The cup Of pleasure.
