POLITICAL INTEGRITY.

Unfortunately for u country. integri-
ty in political conduct has become rather
a rare commodity. Too many politicians
seem to think there is no dishonesty in
schem ing and plotting, cabling and de-
ceiving, to accomplish their aims. Men
who, in private transactions, would take
no advantage Of the most ignorant and
unwary, seem to think there is no neces-
slty for squaring their public, or political
actions by the same rule. Why this DIFF
ference should be made, and why a polit-
lcal fraud should not blacken the charac-
ter as much as a private or personal one
we have never been able to comprehend.
W. have, before now, read most vio-
lent attacks upon public men, charging
them with political corruption and every
species o. political crime, and then wind
ing up with a salvo that it is only their
public acts that are assailed-that they
are gentlemen of irreproachable private
character. We see no good reason for
any such distinction. If a man resort to
measures to obtain a political advantage,
which, if used to secure a personal one,
would brand him with infamy, is he real
ly and morally less guilty ? And yet how
differently are these looked upon! And
this distinction has made our law making
bodies but systematic schemeIs and plot
tiers, every part striving to obtain its own
ends reckless Of the means.
Men will differ in opinion-it is right
that they should-and the principles of
measures are the proper objects of as
sault. Let the reasons for and against
be thrown into opposite scales and weigh.
ed, and then let the matter be decided as
a majority may think best. For our own
part, WI shall never abuse a man for en-
tertaining opinions contrary to our W /;
but if we can convince him by argument
that he is wrong and that we are right,
then we shall expect him to abandon his
opinions and embrace ours and we will
never be caught heaping rascality upon
the public character of a man, and at the
same time lauding his private virtues.
We do believe that the present mode
of legislation needs a reform Just about
as much as any thing else. Too many
politicians have erased the word "hon.
esty' from THAR vocabularies. The peo-
pie should make them re-insert it, or lin
sert others in their place. Let private
and political character be put upon the
same footing, and let them stand or fal
together. We do not believe in eleva.
ting a mans private character TO the
house-top and putting his political one
in the cellar.-Rutherford Banner.

WHAT MOTHERS SHOULD DO.

At the late Drury Lane Theater temper
ance Meeting in London, Mr.. Cruikshank
made some strikinglyju st remarks on the
necessity oflaying the foundation Of. the
reform in the minds of children through
the influence of the mothers. He said his
own mother, when he was a child, taught
him never to waste bread, and, as a con-
sequence. he had never in his manhood
wasted a crGmb without being distressed,
his mothers injunction always being be-
fore his mind. Had she taught him new
er to drink a drop of liquor he was sure
the effect would have been the same, and
it would have saved him from much
misery.
The truth of these suggestions no one
can doubt, and in view Of them VINO can
resist the conclusion that in order to the
entire success and permsnency ofthe
temperance reform its principles must be
inculcated in the nursery by motherss
Not only must mothers refrain from adj
ministering the drugs and csrdials which
create a taste for stimulants, but they
should early teach them the total abstin-
ence doctrine, and warn them against
the dangers and vices to (which a neglect
Of that doctrine will expose them.
The gentleman above referred to mo-
ticedi in a town where he was visiting
that a costly prison was in process Of cree
ton, and he asked some Of the people
who they were building it for For
rogues, they replied. Yes, answered he,
but for rogues yet to be made, for the
most part through strong drink. Now,
which is cheaper and wiser-to prepare
a prison at a cost Of a quarter of a million
for criminals, or by proper care of your
children and youth to prevent them from
needing confinement.
If, by any means, WI could bring the
children up in total abstinence principles
we should need but very limited prison
accommodations after the present tenants
were disposed Of. Mothers, to whom
shall we look, if not toyou, for this great
work Of prevention.-E. Y. Organ.
