and also the endorsement of that opinion by Judge

the cry Of The Abolitionists,-that the tariff
question is used to excite one section of the
country against another, andthat interested
p~artisans throughout the Union are stirring
up all the elements of popular strife the ne
cessity must be apparent TO every one, that
now, above all times, do we require calm
ness, intelligence, and honest action among
the people, and in our public councils wis
dom, experience and energy; but above all
things do we require honesty of purpose and
intelligent patriotism.
In conclusion let me say, that whether
Wings or Democrats succeed or fail in the
ensuing elections, all must know that how
ever il may affect politicians, their advant-
age is but dust in the balance compared TO
the interest OF the people and that the whole
country, and all its inhabitants must gain or
lose accordingly as the administration Of the
government is conducted. We have seen
that the good deeds and well established
power of the Federalists were not sufficient
to secure the reelection of John Adams,
nor, when their measures became injurious
to exempt them from condemnation so much
so, that their very name among us has be-
come a bye-word and a reproach;-and we
all know that but a short time ago the appar-
emily universal power of THE Democratic par
ty was not sufficient TO secure the ~re-elec-
ton oftheir ~favorite Van Buren,, who was
deposed by maiorities before unheard of,
even when backed by the patronage of the
Government and all the power of prejudice
and reverence for the Democratic name.
The instability O fpariy then, is a proof of
the stability of the Government Ia proof of
the intelligence of the people,-a caution 10
TO maiorities against the undue exercise of
power,-a check of d~emagogues who would
mount a hobby through the idea offs being
popular, without regard to the question of
right or wrong.
Let politicians therefore, lay these facts
to their hearts, and take warning. Letthem
seek their own advantage in their country's
good;-let them discard appeals to prejudices
of the people, aud strive to give t~hemcorrect
information Let themdiscourage violence,
support the Union, and endeaver to al
{ lay our sectional lealousies, and our political
f INTERCHANGEABLE them never array one
5 class ofthe community against another, but
2 let them advance by what means they may
! honestly command, the greatest good of the
t greatest number,-so shall they promote true
Democracy,-further their own interests
and exalt the prosperity and honor of the ma
ton.
Ifto-day | have contributed in the remot-
est degree TO excite honest enquiry,--to
monderate the bitterness of party spirit, or to
j advance any of the intests ] have here indi-
! cated. my greatest ambition will have been

about twelve years of age, who from her ia
fancy was unable either TO walk or speak, on
the evening ofthe extensive c~onflagration in

gained the faculty of speech and the power

THE LONE FOX.

Twas the last northern fox,
Left sneaking alone;
All his trusty companions
Were beaten and gone.
Not a hide of his kindred
Ere giaddened his eye
And the last OF the foxes
Looked wonderful shy.
"You look dismal my friend"
Said a coon on a limb,
(For a swim in Salt river
Makes foxes feel s.imD
ssTake an old coon's advice
And wander no more
From the shade Of the cabbage
On Kinde rhook shore.
Sand be il thy comfort
Each evening to sing
This verse, till thy garden
OF cabbages ring.
"When coon SIX in are rising
And cider has ris,
Alas how intolerable
My sufferings is!"
