To the Editor ef the Otsego Republican.
SIR: For fifteen years, and ever since was
voter, | have acted with that party who now ac-
know ledge Polk and Dallas as their leaders III
fact have never cast Wing vofe but have
become more thoroughly convinced that although
that party clam To be democratic, they do not
advocate democratic principles; and that they
have changed So often that democracy Is but an
empty sound with them, used 10 deceive the peo-
pie; and believe that the democratic priRciples
are only embodied in the Wing party, and bciev
Jog that ought to vote with that party who ad-
vocatc principles that will effect the greatest good
to the greatest number.
therefore with right good will take leave OF
my old political friends and associates, and go
INTO the coming contest with determination 10
do all in my power to contribute to the election
Of CLAY and FRELiNGHuYsEN. Some olmy rea-
sons for this change are, that am IN favor OF
Tariff for the Protection of Home Industry in pre-
ference to foreign, and that have seen the bsne-
tical effects ofthe Tarffol 1912 upon all branches
OF business, too plainly to vote for party pledged
TO lis repeal Under the effects of The rantf,
have seen the honest mechanic and laborer reap
the reward OF their industry and almost every
branch Of the business OF our country flourish and
prosper; and am not to be deluded into the be-
lief that James h. Polk is III favor of that Tariff,
in the face Of his recorded declarations that he is
opposed to it both in principle and detail"
am not to be deceived by the demagogues OF
the Loco Foco party upon this point, as think
many OF my former political friends at this
time; another reason for my voting thus is, that
| am opposed to the immediate Annexation of
Texas, with her war, slavery and S20,000000
debt; that if any party is in favor OF the assump
ton of State debts | believe it is the Locos. For
these reasons | say that they may go to Texas
after it is annexed, and l wall go Tor CLAY and
FRELINsHUYssN.

young girl complained Of her husband, mi

10 compel him to maintain her. The lad was
employed as servant, at the age Of l6, in the
family of his mother, and the girl was permit.
ed to play with him in familiar intercourse,
without any evil being appsehended.. The
consequences Of This childish intimacy, howev.
er, was the unexpected appearance Of third
party in the shape Of charming little resem-
blance OF both, after this very natural but very
affecting .denouement had taken. place, it was
found necessary for the reputation of the boy
and girl that they should marry. The lad con-
tribu,ed par. Of his small earnings to support
these responsibilities, but boy-like got tired Of
II and broke off and went to school to qualify
himself for more respectable calling.
ltappears, says the Ledger, that the wife
was disposed to rest satisfied with this ar.
rangement, until she heard her boy was get

at which her jealousy was aroused. She forth

was led faltering from the court room by her
mother. 80 @
Now, all this difficulty and real misfortune
might have been avoided by simply keeping
the girl out Of the kitchen; and as general
rule the kitchen is no, proper place for chill
dren. 1t is curious fact and perhaps not gen.
orally known, that, by the laws Of Pennsylva-
MIA, man may be sold to servitude who re-

A NATIONAL MONUMENT AT WASHINGTON.
A bill is now before Congress. which ap.
p;:3nrlaes a 1c.t $50, 900 for national monu-
ment at Washington, on :!niy utau..isfss!. plan.
The measure has been introduced to the atten-
lion Of the House Of Representatives by the
Hon. Zadnck Pratt. of Ne Eorh ,,l,o JoSi;,u
ed the plan, and his views have been devel-
oped in an admirable sketch, by w. S.rick.
land, Esq, the well known architect. We
learn that the Washington Monument Society
have now in their possession SIS, 200; and Mr..
Pratt's bill calls for an appropriation Of sum,
which, in connection with the above, it is
thought will be sufficient to complete the work.
The design contemplaies not merely place
for the dead, but an enterprise calculated to fos.
ter the arts. The building or monument will
embrace thee stories. The crypt or base
lnentis intended TO contain the statue Of Wash
ten, with inches for the busts of the Presidents
Of the United States. The second story to con-
tain inches for statues OF the illustrious men of
the country, and the third to be saloon or gall
lery, for paintings Of historical or national sub
jec;s. The monument is TO be 1870 feet high,
he C e pit ,S Which is 100 feet in diamier
The whole can be completed in Is months for
$780, OO-,he material TO be marble. The
sketch. as prepared by Mr.. Strickland, is very
beautiful indeed. II presents most striking
appearance, and the work, if carried out accof.
ding to the design Of Mr. Pratt, as embodied
in his bill, will form an object Of the deepest
interest. Something Of the kind is greatly
needed, and we trust that now that the mat
ter has been introduced, the good work will De
agtated speedily and TO successful end
Greenough's statue Of Washington, which has
excited so much attention, has now no cover
ing but a shed, and is seen to great disadvan-
tase. Mr.. Strickland is just the man to com
ple.e an edi6ce ofthe kind proposed with skill,
beauty and success; and we sincerity trust
that Congress in this matter, will throw aside
the dlatory spifi. by which they are too often
influenced. l@.

!. GENIUS AND CONFERENCE.-The who
first laid down the now hackneyed max
i'm, that difidence is the companion of
genius. knew very little of the workings
Of The human heart. Trao thsre may
have been a few such instances, and it is
probable that in this maxim, as in most,
the exception made the rule. But what
could ever reconcile genius to the suffer-
ings. its sacrifices. its fevered inquietudes,
the interest labor which can alone produce
what the shallow world deems the giant
offspring Of a momentary inspiration;
what could ever reconcile it TO these but
the naughty and unqueachabla conscious
ness of internal power; the hope which
has the fulness ofcertainty that in proper
ton to the toll is the reward; the sanguine
and impe.uous anticipation Of glory,
which bursts the boundaries of time and
space, and ranges with prophets rap
,ure the immeasurable regions Of immor-
taIity Rob Genius Of its confidence, Of
its lofty self esteem, and you clip the
wings Of the eagle; you domesticate, it's
true, the wanderer you could not hitherto
comprehend. in the narrow bounds of your
household affections; you abase and tame
it more to the level Of your ordinary
judgement-ths walled-in and petty cir
conference of your little and common
place morali,ies-but you take from it the
power 10 roar the hardwood which was
content to brave the thunder cloud and
build its eyrie on the rock, for the proud
triumph Of rising above its kind, and con-
templaiing with a closer eye the majesty
of heaven.

painful and bitter task to record the hu-
Mutations, the wearing, petty. singing
humiliaIions of poverty; to count the crops
as they slowly fall, one by one, upon the
fret.ed and indignant heart; to particular
ize, with the scrupulous and nice hand of
indifference, the fractional and divided
movements in the ial-pla,e of misery; 10

its redemption: pride even in debase-

therefore that while have abridged have

exalted by spirit above all casualty and

which seem alone, are despicable and vile

rable and divine and some portion, how
ever dim and feeble. Of that intense holi-
ness which. in the infant God, shed ma
