For the Phoenix
The feO qualities ichich ia aofive life III men for
great achievements, are 10 trust firmly in ones
0cH thoughts, and 10 dare 10 act upon them
Without fear Of responsibility"
This sentiment which was penned by Guzot
respecting Washington, is the offspring Of mind
having long and extensive acquaintance with men
and things. AT the helm Of State--which eminent
station has been reached, not by the breath Of pop
ular favor without any intrinsic merit as the feath
er is waited aloft by the winds, but BY true weight
Of Characteristic opinions OF such a man cannot
but have influence, and take strong hold upon
the minds Of all rejecting persons. Particularly
are we disposed to give weight to his opinions
when we take into consideration the peculiar his
torical and philosophical turn of his genius--his
deep reflections upon the character Of those ind-
viduas who have been most conspicuous in the ac-
tive theatre Of the world. Few Of his sentiments
more forcible, few uttered with more truth than
the above History confirms it--reason and hui
man nature give il authority. The proper reliance
upon ones own convictions, aud the courage to act
according 10 those CONVICTIONS without fear Of
responsibility, are the true elements of an indie
pendent and stable character. Without these prop
critics, hcrosm IS incompatible. The mind fears
that which is new-stumbles and hestates respect
ing that which is old aud eternal. Then is il con-
tent TO occupy an unImporiant station satisfied Ell
Their with the results Of weak efforts and the nom
achievement Of the wished for end that the glory
should be won by others. The correctness Of this
sentiment will allow Of no great latitude of con-
struosion. To trust firmly in ones own thoughts,
he seems not to have meant that hrmness Of con-
viction in our reasoning, which will exclude fair
examn alton Of the convictions of others, that
the opinion once formed will suffer circumstan-
ces whatever to change our conclusions; but his
meaning is. that sufficient degree Of reliance

A True PietHre.-A young man who had for
mery lived in New York, and who, during short
residence in Europe, had by good fortune amassed
large sum Of money, on his return to that city
thus describes what he calls the Goldfish aristocra-
cy OF Gotham"
"a source Of great amusement TO me on my re-
turn from Europe to New York, was the discovery
Of so many new senses, when discovered so many
wealthy men who composed the Goldfish arisiocracy
Of New York, extending their hands to me, and
expressing their great delight at seeing me again,
although before left New York, these same ma
hobs would look down on me with disdan il had
presumed TO have spoken to them. l really forgot
ill they forced the truth upon my mind that since
| Jeff them, l had accumulated few more dirty
dollars, and now therefore, we were upon EQUAL
ground Bah the thought of money being the
standard of merit, makes me sick and the fawn-
ing, canting obsequiousness which witnessed from
many during my flying visits to America, made me
despise the sycophants and almost wish was not
worth shilling in the world. On the other hand,
met some good honest friends, in humble circum-
stances who almost approached me in awe--and
then again felt ashamed of human nature. What
miserable, piiilul and disgraceiu state Of society
il is which eeyaies BOBBY tyrant to its high
est summit, provided he has more gold than others
while good heart a wise head is trampled in
the dust, if the owner happens to be poor"
