WAsHINGToN, Aug. 90. 1874

NAsHINGToN, Aug. %, 1916.
To the Editor Of The Union:
Calling upon the President last evening with
some friends, the following Incident occurred
which may not be unworthy of notice in the
9. Union"
We found Mr.. Polk immersed in the important
business of his highly responsible station and to
our apology for intrudng upon him at that time
he responded with characteristic frankness-that
it was true his time was much occupied, but that
he was glad to us, and pleased that we had
called After few minutes had transpired, one
of the gentlemen, descendant of The celebrated
Patrick Henry, approached the President, and in
the name and on behalf of highly respected and
accomplished democratic lady OF the county of
Gloucester, Virginia, presented him beautiful
quill from the wing of our national bird the A.
merlcan eagle, accompanied with the expression
of her best wishes for his individual health and
prosperity, and the success of his administration
The gift was accepted with manifestation of
feeling and warmth of thanks TO the fair donor
which plainly showed that, small as it was in It's
intrinsic value, the President nevertheless regard
ed it as highly cherished Observation-Disclosures
affording him far more real pleasure than the rich
and costly presents sometimes made to men IN
high places, with great pOmp and circumstance :;
and, at once catching the inspiration of our cOun-
try's glorious emblem, av0wed his determination
to preserve the simple gift, and sign with it his
first message to the representatives. of the nation.
1t is a curious circumstance. which, perhaps
should not be omitted, that this quill was dropped
from an eagle while passing over the farm of the
donors husband, on the very day on which the
Clay convention assembled in York, and was de-
signed by the husband, who is a Jealous and de.
voted wing, as present to Mr.. Clay at his in
augurati0n; but, as that event never occurred the
wife has made more appropriate and republican
disposition OF the ieathered instrument
After short time most pleasantly spent ,,all re
tired with increased admiration and respect for the
peoples President NJ

REPUBLlCANISM.

Our system Of Government is based upon the
principle that the people can, and ought, and shall
govern themselves. either directly, or Indirect
ly through agents appointed by their will holding
and exercising power according to their wishes,
and strictly at all times accountable to them for
the manner of It's exercise Now the history of
the world proves that this doctrine of the capa.
bility of the masses of mankind so to govern
themselves as best 10 promote and secure the or
der and well being of society is utterly untrue in
theory and most dangerous in practice, unless
those who are thus to control and direct the af-
fairs of themselves and each other, the concerns
of individuals. and of natiuns are both intelligent
and vrtuous, while the history of our own eX-
pertinent of se;governmen proves most concIu
sveIy that knowledge and goodness disseminated
among those who exercise political or other pow
or, insure that the employment of the same will
be both safe and salutary Power in the hands
of ignorance, whether the empty head be covered
with giIded crown, or slUuched hat whether
it be upon the shoulders Of prince or popuIace,
must, though combined with the best of Intentions
be ever liable 10 abuse. either from accidental
oversights or the Vaccinations of the designing
few, who, unlike the mass Of the repositories Of
power, possess more OF sagaciiy than honesty, and
are melted by interests opposite and obnoxious to
those of the body of the people. On the other
hand were knowledge without virtue to prevail,
it is equally apparent that with the ability to do
wrong, with The capacity Tor eilecIIng much with
out principles to direct that power Alright, only
the most fatal results can be anticipated 1t has

GREAT IMPROVEMENT IN THE ART
PRINTING.

Mr.. Scion Robinson of Indiana, is in Phila-
delPha as agent for the patentee Of what appears
to be a great and valuable addition to the many
Improvements which have, within few years,
been made in the art and mystery of printing
Mr.. Robinson has, by exhibiting TO him speci-
mems of the production of this improvement,
obtained for it highly favorable notice from the
nol-easily huHbugged editor of the u. S. Ga
4ette, }. r. Chandler, Esq. who says that the
great secret seems to be in the substitution of a
new and very cheap type metal, susceptible of
giving the very finest lines in the marrice, and
yet SD easily fused and managed that any printer
can cast his own plates without any other fixtures
than is to be found in any printing office and that,
too, in very short space Of time, and a cost
less than one fourth the cost of common siereo
type plates. Mr.. Robinson showed Mr.. Chaod
Ter a plate that had borne 10000 impressions Of
power press without affecting it.. He also has
specimens of printing from original type metal
plates and from those duplicated in the new oet-
al. Of which it is difficult to tell which is the
original and which The copy
