IN WHAT TINES DO WE LIVE,

We copy the following paragraph from the
Washington Union, taken from m article on
the Compromise COMMITTEES. in references to
the general subject as il appeared in tho
Charleston Mercury. That such plain, yer.
liable aud appropriate sentiments should DO
imbcdded 10 the heart Of the editor of tho
Union is not surprising but tina, he should
have the fairness and firmness 10 publish
them to tho world, is really so unexpected
,bo, We copy them with pleasure, as they no
doubt speak tho true, uncquivocsl sentiments
of tina. Journal. Erehanse poptr.
"In conclusion, we would not do justice 10
our own feelings did not We applaud the no.
bic tribute which The Mercury pays The emf.
nent statesman Of the West. Such tributes
are alike honorable to him Who receives and
TO him who pays them. Mr.. Ciny has won
many lsurels in paS times, but he has Won
none IN his long and distinguished career Of
which his friends should be more proud than
those which are now woven around his brow,
for the patriotic course he has pursued during
the present session. They will gruce bis de.
clining Years and be fresh in the memory Of
the people, long after tina, is mortal Of tho
great orator will have mingled with dus, aud
ashes. We, Of course, have no reference to
any ambitious aspirations which some of his
illends NAV have formed for him. Ii is not
certain that Mr. Clay would again aspire to
the presidency, full Of tho,ns as il always is
II, any time Of any mans life; but at this
time of life tho honor is less to be covclrd,
While the burden Of the responsibility is less
easy to be b rue. Far better for any man
TO deserve the unenviabIe distinction than To
win il, and Ear better TO be called tho friend
of his couuiry than ils President"

REVELATIONS In HIGH LIFE.
The Middleton Divorce Case.

Something new in the morals of Philadel-
: phia is daily coming 10 light The last de-
velopement, which has thrown the Quaker
City into state of excitement, is divorce
case now before the Legislature of Pennsyl-
vania, at Harrisburg. Edward Middleton, a
Lieutenanr in the United States Navy, and a
gentleman of distinguished family, boarded,
some time since, in Philadelphia, with his
beautiful and accom- olished wife, Edda Mid
dleton. He married her, as we understand,
in Europe, and not long after he brought her
TO Philadelphia, he had reason TO believe
that she was holding criminal Intercourse
with resident of that city. Mr.. Middleton
has therefore applied for divorce, aud we
lay before our readers the following most i'm
portant part Of the testimony. 1t will be OBJ
served that the name of the person with
whom she is said to have had this improper
intimacy, is suppressed in the report 1t is
understood however, 10 be Mr. Henry Nc
Call, who, il is further said, makes no secret
of his iutrigues with the lady, but rather
speaks of them in a tone of boasting.
.sr,.e evidence commences with the depo-
fora Deighton, Mary Hannah Fan.
NV. servant wo,.aan, whose evidence estab-
fishes the guilt Of Of Mrs. Middleton. Then
follows the deposition o. o, Joshua F. Fisher,
who is married TO the sister Oh Edward Mid
dleton. The following is an extrac.:

A Good Resolution.

There was once boy who made a resolu

'iem wiser and better. 1t was noble rule,
and he faithfully observed il. lie began
with the domestics of the family; next he
lried his companions, II he met the rgnc
rant and vicious, he sought out some pleas
ent precept or kind advice TO which they be
likely to listen. And he was soon respected
and bcovc':
This excellent habit grew up with him,
and was strengthened from above. Through
out the whole of life he was distinguished 6 v

There is no such thing as doing anythirg 9
'sratuitously' in aprinting office. Somebody
must pay for every thing that is done. No,

Moral Character.

There is nothing which adds so much ia
the beauty and power ola man as a good
moral character. l. is his wealth-his life.
1t dignifies him in every condition, and gIori.
lies him In every p 'riod of life Such char.
aeter is more to be desired than any thing
else on earth. 1t makes man free and in.
dependent. No servile tool, no crouching
sycophant, no treacherous honor-seeker ever
bore such character. The pure ioys of
ruin and righteousness never spring in such
person. If young men but knew how
much good character would dignity and
exalt them-how glorious it would make
their prospects, even in this life; never
should we find them yielding to the grovel-
ing and base born :nrnose. of irurnur nu-
ture.
