Evils of Public Life.

The brief career of General Taylor conclusively
proves that the Office of President of the United
States has not the charm about it that many imagine
We have politicians, living whose whole politi-
cal existence has been constant longing after Pre-
sidential honors. There must have been false
charm about it, which we have reason to believe or
rather hope, will hereafter be dispeled from the
minds of those, at least deserving the station The
life of General Taylor although occasionally of
toll, has been one of much domestic happiness. He
practised principles of economy and frugality not
usually known to officers in the army, and was pos
sessed of splendid fortune. His wife, from all
have heard of her. is lady of retiring manners that
cares nothing for the glitter or pomp of the world,
and hence refused to make her appearance publicly
as the mistress of the White House. The old Gene
raj, when called to the Presidency, of the
sinecure station of Major General during life-an
Office worth at least nine thousand dollars per annum
with scarcely any duties to perform in the time of
peace; and there appeared to be little prospectof

ton had well fitted him for the station, and long
life of prosperity and happiness the bosom of his
family, spread out before him, with the honors
of the whole American people clustering, in laurel
wreaths, around his brow.
But the glare of the Presidency was too much even
for him. Without qualifications for the Office,
knowledged by himself and admitted by those desir
ing him to be candidate, he surrendered the sine
cure life Office of Major General, with all its pros
pective quiet and emoluments, and embarked his
frail vessel on the stormy ocean Of politics. The
campaign, previous to the election, was exciting
one, but did not reach the General, to any great
tent, in his quiet retreat at Baton Rouge. 1t was
only after his arrival at Washington, when beset by
the greedy cormorants after Office, that he began to
feel that his seat President not one of roses
The rascalities of his Cabinet must have troubled
him much, for we believe General Taylorwa strictly

hands of wicked and designing Cabinet, and the
acts of that Cabinet doubt, FASTENED his death.

More Proof of Wing Designs.

We perceive that in Lawrence county, on the eve
of the election, Ex-Congressman George G. Dunn is
brought out as candidate for the State Senate. He
has made address to the people, and appears very
reluctant to be candidate, and only does So as he
says, the ground of aiding in great work. pass
ing through the county. Now, with all Difference
to the ability of Mr.. Dunn as a public speaker, We
would say, that Pleasant Parks, the democratic
didate, would have as much influence on this rail-
road question, as any man that could be sent from
Lawrence county. We are individually interested,
to the extent of several thousand dollars in property
to be affected by the extension of this road from La
fayette to Lake Michigan, and Pleasant Parks, in
our judgment, is the very man to have influence in
this NATTER as well in aiding speedy completion
of the railroad from New Albany 10 Bedford. He
is man of experience, of good reputation bust
ness and legislator, and the people of Lawrence
would do injustice to themselves by eecting mere
partisan to attend to their interests on the ground
that he make an eloquent speech. Such talents
frequently do more harm than good in question Of
local importance, particularly, if, in the present
instance would be the case the legislator is supposed
to have come to the Legislature for the express pur
pose of eecting United States Senator of different
politics from the majority of the people who sem
him, on the popularity of railroad. There is some
thing evidently unfair in the whole transaction.

Jump linn Crow.

A few weeks ago, according to the editors of the
Indiana Journal, the South Bend Register, the La
ayette Journal and other kindred spirits in Indiana,
Mr.. Seward of New York was one of the greatest
men in America. 1t was then known that Mr.. S.
of the chief advisers of the Galphin Cabinet
Mr. Webster received no attention from these pa
pers, and the Vice-President, Mr. Fillmore, in con-
sequence of his quarrel with Seward, had been en-
tirely forgotten. The wheel of fortune has turned
round-Mr. Fillmore is President and Mr..
Webster Secretary of State. The editor of the In
diana Journal exhibits his true character syco-
plant, and the others will Immediately follow suit
They will jump Jim Crow, as we predicted, faster
than any darkie that was ever heard of
