Have we N, great reason % fear that
heuiorals of our country are becoming
corrupted Every mail that arrives, brings
Us the sad Intelligence Of some official
rnbhery; some aagrant breach Of trust:
some public or private wrong. What can
be the eanse Of these things coming 50
suddenly upon n. Is il not attributable
in great measure 10 giving Office 10 those
who are not worthy! The question is mol
now. As in the more pure days Of The re-
public. " Is he honest, ie he capable. is he
faithful TO The Constitution but, has he
dune great deal for bis party! lEas he
been an active and efficient par,izan. and
a man Of influence in the community in
which he lives! IL these answers are in
the affirmative. depend ON il. he is imme-
dialely ensconred into lai office; he is
permitted % par AXE bouniifnlly Of The
!. loves.and fishes 10 feed upon The pub

Does not every patriot and every true
lover Of his country depreeaie this stale
Of lhingss Every person who has re-
fecied al all on the subject, must see he
absolute necessity Of some remedy being
applied; that The wound must be probed
20 the bottom This can only be effect
ed by eIeciing some one for onr president
Of high and disin,erested patriotism, who
Is willing % sacrifice every personal inte-
rest, immediate or remote, upon The altar
of freedom. Around such an one let us
rally. be he called Wing. Democrat. or
L4ocofocn. live were tie most opnleni
and wealthy nation on earth, and vice and
immortality is suffered TO go unchecked
and uArestraineil, soon, soon will liberty
be but an empty sound. Though we
might preserve all the external forms Of
our constitution and our laws, the very
Vi ais Of tie republic would be diseased.
What constitutes state!
. Not h'gk.rsised bai,lenicnt or labsrd mound,
1hnk wall or moaled ralp,
Not. ties proud with spires uf beauty crowa'd,
NJ, BAYS and brnad.armcd ports,
Wh,r, laughing al u, s'ora rlrh na,its ride,
Nor starred aud sranglrd courts;
But men, hian-,niIdcJ men, WAC know their
rights,
And knowing darc maintain"
These constitute state Let no man
say he has no lot or part m this matter
There are duties which the humhlest in
diyidual owes 10 bis country. When we
hear man say iha, he will never give
another vote, may we moi nationally con-
clude that the spirit Of liberty which omee
animated the bosoms Of his ancestors, is
almost extinct in him! What! moi exer-
else the deares, right that was ever grant
ed TO freemen! suppose an open ailemp,
was made 10 deprive him of this right;
would he moi rise up in the might Of his
strength 10 asserl that boon guaranteed By
I've constitution Of his country?
Another evil there is in the land which
loudly calls for remedy. The young
men in this country begin to look upoa
labor as disgraceful. and depend loo much
upon the property Of their parents: con-
seqnently they arrive TO manhood without
The knowledge of any useful art or pro-
fession by which they can acquire manly
independence and elfreiianse. This Is
the reason That our country swarms with
The idle. the dissolnie and The sirions; llla,
our cities are filled 10 Overlooking will
loafers and pick-pockeis: who seemingly.
from their talents and the sssnting OF
their fauIiiles, were destined for better
fortune. The ynung must rely more ~
on ihemsclves-more upon their own IN
dustry and perseverance If they wish To
obtain that station in society for which
nature has destined them Many avenues
are ope" in our country hy which ,heY
can obtain responsibility and indcpcn-
deDce; for instance agriculture. The navy,
or academy. And le; no one deem ag
ricnltnre unworthy bis notice. Ii is an
