WASHINGTON temper says the Journal OF
Commerce1 was tried as severely as any mans,
vet who can cite the instance Of his losing it ?
FRANKLIN is another example and we took up
our pen, in this article for the purpose simply OF
citing that venerable sage and patriot as a model
specially worthy of the attention of our National
Legislators at the present time Picture him at
the age of 81 years sitting in that august assembly
which formed the Constitution. The interests to
be adjusted by that body were even more perplex-
ed and delicate than those which are now before
us. Excitement rose to great height, and some
Of the speeches were nearly as denuncatory as
some we have had of late. In the midst Of this
excitement the great philosopher, as little affected
by it as he was by the lightning which his kite
sent down from the clouds, rose to offer series OF
conciliatory propositions, which he prefaced with
the following pacific observations touching the tenn
per of the House:
cit has given me great pleasure to observe that
till this point, the proportion Of representation,
came before us, our debates were carried on with
great GOODNESS and temper. If any thing of con-
trary kind has on this occasion appeared, hope
it will not be repeated; for we are sent hither to
consult, not to CONTEND with each other; and de-
claraons of fixed opinion, and Of determined
resolutions never to change it, neither enlghten
nor convince us. Posi,iveness and warmth on
one side naturally beget their like on the other,
and tend to create and augment discord and divi-
sion in a great concern, wherein harmony and
union are extremely necessary TO give weight to
our councils, and render them effectual in pro-
noting and securing the common good"

The Union" expresses great wonderment, with
considerable amount of indignation, at our not
noticing mere and purely party demonstration by
the Democrats Of Philadelphia, on the 22d instant.
We did not, because it did not appear to be of con-
sequence enough to justify the transplantng its
proceedings to our columns. They spoke Of the
value Of the UNION (not the newspaper) it is true,
and we dare say sincerely as far as they went; but
in what terms? Was it in the spirit of freemen,
assembling within hundred or two yards of the
Hall of independence, and Of the hall in which,
GEORGE WASHINGTON presiding, the UNION itself
was formed by him and his great compeers? Or in
the spirit of mere partymen, caring little for any
thing but party ends and objects, and making men
ton of the UNION in such way as to show how
feeble their attachment to it in comparison with the
zeal Of their worship of party idols !! Let the
reader judge for himself. The proceedings of that
meeting are before us. There is string of reso-
lutions, seventeen in number, all in high party
tone; in no one of which, though the, 22d instant
was the day on which the meeting was held, was
the name or memory Of WASHINGTON mention
ed; and when the "'Union' came to be spoken
of in the sixteenth of the seventeen resolutions,
it was in such manner as to leave the inevitable
impression on the mind of the reader that these
gentlemen entertain the belief that Gen. JACKSON,
and not Gen. WASHINGTON, was the Father of his
Country and the Founder of the Union
Here is the resolution; we leave it to speak for
itself:
ResolUed, That we regard the Union Of the
States as a blessing of inesmable value, among
the richest bestowed by God upon man, and, an
the language Of the Immortal JACKSON, declare
that it must and shall be preserved y
