o, esfsed love Of gold!
How worthless 10 the prize,
That human life doth hold
To our young cheated eyes;
For this from home and house No part,
And tear sweet nature from the heart.
In vain fond arenss weep;
In vain . sister sighs;
To gather gold We sweep
To sickly ellmcs and skies;
And when the stream begins roll,
We Rain the world and lose the soul.

bate for the respective counties; and all the pro-
visions OF this act contained in reierence to the
said judges of probate shall apply TO said Masters
In Chancery respectively in like manner as II they
had been in every instance named.
Il Nothing can be palmer; and, accordingly,
when Mr. Beach's publication in the Union
appeared, application was made at the regis
ter's office for an opportunity, by several m
dividuas, to examine the records in the War
rem case. No such records could be found;
and the surprise may be conceived when the
register Of probate declared that none such
had ever been filed in his Office!
Mr.. Beach now admits them to be in his
possession Years have elapsed since the
case was closed; and why have the papers
and records been piihheld from the public
archives' The law required them to be
placed there, so that they might be preserv-
ed safe from loss, change, diminution, or IN
crease, and open to public inspection. We,
as citizens, had a right to see them; that
right has been violated; and are we now to
be cantingly told that we may see them by
going to lawyers private Office, or that he
will graciously condescend to send them to
US. What guaranty should we have that IN
the loose manner Of keeping papers in
lawyers office, everything remains as It was
when the case was closed; A public keeper
Of archives like the register Of probate, has
a high public responsibility which affords an
ample guaranty. A lawyers office, and es-
pecially a partisan lawyers office, affords
none AT all events, where the law iorbids
the records from remaining in the latter
where that law is openly disregarded, where
is the security
Mr.. Beach is gentleman whose charac-
ter forbids the idea that he would Intention
ally change record, or abstract a paper;
but his character is no fairer or higher than
Mr., Wanen's. In the changing fortunes Of
life, Mr.. Beach indeed has become rich, and
Mr.. Warren has become poor But wealth
is not the test Of merit, nor poverty OF crime.
Arrogance and assumption Of superiority Of
ten, indeed, follow the sudden acquisition Of
riches. But the judgment Of the world soon
pronounces Just sentence Mr.. Beach has,
as we have seen, held an important office
Whether he has in all things coniormed to
law whether he has erred, and is open to
censure, let the instance here quoted answer,
Whether he stands so clear Of error as that
he does well to come before the world as the
accuser Of Mr.. Warren, let him consider.
Mr.. Warren has now commenced his own
career as apublic officer Let him be judged
by his official conduct. His position is one
Of high responsibility. Let him be held
closely to it. But this concocted beforehand
assault upon him, ferocious as it is, will not
shake public confidence. His inscriptions
assailants may ransack his history, and from
all sources, public and private, draw their
viperish poison They bite file. Their
places Of shelter are transparent; people see
through and through. They are brittle pro-
tections. The recoil Of the stones they throw
may shiver their glass-houses.
