Science OF Government"

EDITOR OF THE GAZETTE: In the arti-
Gle under this head in the Ohio Eagle,
of JanuaIy 20, the writer with the Wis
dom of a Solon and the egotism of Cice-
ro dictates course of Study to be pur-
sued by the young mon of Fairfield Coun-
ly before entering the political arena Of
life.
No one can fail to see the evils that re-
suit from the too hasty manner in which
a great many of our young men enter up
on political life, and every right thinking
man would rejoice if the evil could be-
remedied.
But l digress--my object is not TO
write on the "Science of Government;
but to scrutinize closely the motives that
induced the production alluded to, | do
this because the remarks are addressed
to young men by a young man. and as the
writer intends to publish series of aiti-
cles on the subject, the young men ought
to know what his motives are.
He assumes that the principles he has
adopted are correct; that he by his supe-
rior wisdom has been enabled to discover
and shun the evils which he appears so
desrous to guard US against. If could
believe that his motives were pure, that
he is actuated by honest principles, by a
desire to see our institutions prosper;
+ then no one could tax my regard more
than he.
The style in which the article is writ
ten is we'll calculated to deceive the un-
wary; but if any one will examine it
closely, he cannot fail to discover the
"cloven foot"
He assumes to be Wing; but as it is
a very difficult task to write one thing
8 and be another, the gentleman has betray-
4 ed himself.
= "Whig prejudices and influences are
fixed and unchangeabe; this universally
q produces inertness, inaction and retrogra-
5 dation" is the sense of the language used
II by the gentleman, and upon this basis
he argues change. Wing principles are
o fixed and Interchangeable, and why because
they are predicated upon Truth and Hon
q or and as these never change neither can
n they.
n If the writer is or has been Wing, |
J. will say that the change he has made or is
= about to make is made for the sake of ac-
If quirng some little political capital, and
o for this he is willing to sacrifice honor
g principles and honesty.
n Our county is strongly Locofoco, and
d have no doubt he will be literally com
d pensated, for going over.
t. He desires popularity. | would ad'
W wise him to ponder long upon the Ian
N guage of an eminent English Jurist, who
" says: Il wish popularity, but it is tina
s. popularity which sooner or later, neveI
n, fails to do justice to the pursuit of nobl
OF "ends by noble MEANS" and if after hav
Or ing done so he determines on making
s change, let him do it openly and above
a board, STOPPING not to any subterfug'
and then if he is not sustained. he will a
,e least receive credit for bold disregard
S. of all honest principles. BERN.

RESOLUTIONS OF THE WHlC
STATE CONVENTION.


RcS0lred, That the distribution of The
powers Of the General Government by
the fathers of our constitution, between
the Legislative, Executive, and Judicial
Departments, is the great republican
platform upon which our liberties rest,
and that any Infringement by one of these
Departments upon the powers of the
other, is destructive of liberty aud tends
TO despotism
3, Resoicca, That the frequent instan-
ces of Executive usurpation of powers
vested by the constitution in other bran.
ches of the Government create the strong.
est fears, that the predictions made by
enemies of republican institutions, of our
National downfall, may too soon be re-
allied.
