YOUNG MEN.

I..5;,s 2 YOUNG MEN.
The idcn is prevalent in some commu-
litics, that young mon are fit neither for
generals or Statesmen, and that they must
be kept in the back ground, uplil their
physical strength is impaired by agc and
ttheiriptcllcotual faculties become bluntcd
by the weight ofycnrs. Let us look to
the history Of the past, and from the long
hist of heroes and statesmen, select some
who have distinguished themselves, and
we shall find that they were young men
when they performed those acts which
have Won hf them an imperishable need
saffanle, and placed their names high on
the pageEof fhistory. Alexander, the con-
qperoE of the then whole civilized world,
VIZ dreece, Egypt and Asia, died ut 49,
sl3onaparte was a crowned Emperor of
Franco when 80 years of age. Pitt, the
younger brother, was about 20 years Of
age, when, in. sBritain's Parliament, he
bold y:advpcated the cause Of the Amcri-
can colonies, and but % when made Chan
jcellorof the Exchcqucr. Edmund Burke,
atthe age of 25, was first Lord Of the
Treasury. Our own Washington was
tbutS2 when he covered the retreat ofthe
British troops at Braddock's defeat, and
was appointed to the command in chief Of
all efVirginia forces. Alexander Ham
ilton, at 90, was a Lieutenant Colonel and
MD to Washlngton-at 25 member of
sCoDgress-at 80 Secretary Of the Trea.
isury. Thomas Jefferson was but SO
when he drafted, the ever memorable De-
claration Of independence, At the age
tof 80 years, Sir Isaac Newton occupied
the mathematical chairat Cambridge col
lege, Englandhaving by his scientific dis
coveries rendered his name immortal.
Wesmigh t;continuc the list to greater
length, but enough hns been said already,
TO show thatthe idea that young men arc
not capable ofperforming great and emo
bling actions, or taking high position
in the councils Of nation, is chimcrical
and visionary. And what has been said,
may we'll serve TO encourage the young
TO set up high standard and press to-
wards it Witha hardor,s suffering nothing to
discourage them from soaring "onward
and upward sin the paths of fame or in the
pursuit Of literature and science.

CONTRAST BETWEEN GEN. TAYLOR AND GEN
CASA writer in the Providence (R. I)
Journal draws this contrast:
Mr.. Cass has been selected as the personif-
cation of ultraism--he is audacous in his de-
signs and resoiute in his ambition-he is tenac
ious OF his opinions and never modest in main
tanning them-he loves the turmoil of war, be-
cause it will enlarge the boundaries of his am
bition. To secure the office of President he
will become the sycophant-to seduce the ret H.
less and ignorant, he will promise the rewards
of official patronage; his election will neutra-
lie the conservative influence and add strength
to that radical spirit which seek its own re-
ward though at the sacrifice of national pros
perity.
With these elements of destruction, il is for
tuuate that the Wing Convention has selected
a candidate of sufficient popularity to command
success. We 60 into the contest with no mis-
givings, but elated with hope aud confident OF
victory. The old issues are for the time aban-
doned, and we must ovep ONE ancient preiu-
dices, confidence must be restored, enthusiasm
awakened, and with resolute and persevering
efforts the result is no longer a matter of con
lecture Gen. Taylor has already won unive T.
sal appreciation for his modest and consistent
department in every emergency. A man OF
Singular courage and possessed Of remarkable
prudence-ardent in his friendship and liberal
in his principles-unexceplionable in his pri-
waite character, and with a mind and heart at
tached to the great interests Of his country
not identified with local sectional divisions,
but free to act and disposed 10 The right; ell
joying the confidence of distinguished Wings,
and recommended by host Of friends as a man
who will discharge the duties Of the office with
wisdom, integrity and fidelity.

FRIDAY MORNING, SEP. l, ls4s.

OTHoN. ELISHA ENBREE visited our city
on yesterday on private business, and straight
way it was determined by the Rough and Rea
DIV Club that he should address the citizens al
"Camp Taylor; accordingly notice was given
and short though ii was, the citizens turned
out in large numbers and spacious as The camp
is it was we'll filed to hear this faithful Rep
resentative of the People, who, plain, modest,
and honest as old Rough and Re IDLY himself, is
just the man 10 gather around him the honest
of all parties. We were rejOiced TO see so
large number Of the hard working, homes,
portion of the opposite party present last night,
and we sincerely hope the exposition Judge
Embree made of how matters are conducted
at Washington by those whom the people have
placed in office as their servants to do their
work, will serve to open their eyes to the
gross corruption which is there practised-a
corruption that overtops and swallows up eve
ny principle of honesty, and cheats the people
of their rights and their liberties. Judge EN-
bree we'll said that as at present conducted the
people have but little if any voice in the Go
vernment-thatt the office holders are theGovern-
ment, who conduct and controie affairs, not
for the benefit of the people, for they never
think OF the people, but to keep themselves in
Office and to be able TO dispense the spoils Of
office and money wrung from the working
classes among themselves md their friends--
And if the people fail in November next TO
make a proper selection for the Presidency
this state of things must and will grow worse
Cass is not the 10 put there, for it is proved
that wherever spoils are found he is there hard
at work, and il he has talent for anything it is
for getting an extra share. He knows how TO
charge upon Uncle Sans Treasury if he knows
nothing about charging his country 'senemies.
Gen. Taylor, on the other hand, has made no
srtra charges of this kind. His attacks have
been made in fair fight against the enemies of
his country, and against them alone, and man
who has been for forty years in the service of
his country, handling millions of the people,
money and settling complicated accounts with
every one, and who has come out at last free
from debt TO the treasury, with no extra charges
against the government and asking for no ex-
ira allowances, may certainly be trusted with
the exercise of executive office. The people
know Gen. Taylor is both honest aud Canable
and are determined 20 trust him.
We never before had the pleasure Of hearing
Judge Embree on the stump. and knowing that
he had no intention Of making speech when
he arrived in our city, we were highly delight
manner with which he performed the duty i'm
posed upon him. We insist that the proper
committee of the Club invite Judge Embree 10
speak at this place again between this and the
election and give timely notice TO the citizens
OF the county that they may be present and
hear him.
