wAsaMGrox' , BIRTHDAY.
There il but one man, living or dead, whose
birthday y voluntarily commsmoraaed by his
countrymsn from a mingled feeling Of gratitude,
vsnssation, and love. Hitherto, this has been
done without reference to any section, or any
party, religious or political. But it is lamsntabls
TO sec this anniversary, sacred to the p0rest feel
iugs Of gratitude aud PATRIOTISM perverted 70
party purposes, by excluding those who do not
subscribe to particular creed Of politics from all
participation. as has been done by ssf-crsatsd
body IN New York and Georgia, calling them
selves the exclusive friends Of the Union. Wash
ingto belongs 70 no party. His fame ia not only
national, but universal. He was a man great in
what he did; still greater in what he abstainsd
ffom doing. A man standing alone in the world,
without model and without an .imitator. To
snlist tho haliowed name Of such a man in party
struggles, and for that purpose, drag him from
the grave where he reposes with all the blessings
Of his country on his head, is species Of sacri-
lege worse than that Of "ths resurrectionst,
who violates the tomb for the purpose Of making
merchandise Of it's inmates. Not content with
this, these exclusive friends of the Union have
sought to psrvert the last legacy of his wisdom,
virtue, and patriotism, which was intended as
warning against the indulgence of sectional feel
ngs, into justification for the violation Of all its
precepts The last farewell of Washington TO his
countrymen, the noblest legacy ever bequeathed
70 mankind, except that Of his great example, has
been converted to purposes, against which he
urged his most solemn warning. The course
heretofore pursued by " the friends Of the Union"
in the North is in direct opposition to that recon-
mended by Washington. Instead OF allaying,
they have used all their efforts to aggrnvato Sec
uona feelings and prejudices, by arraying the
North and the South against each other, on ques-
tons in which it is impossible they can agree; and
having succeeded in sowing the seeds Of eternal
dissention between them, they now have the ef-
frontery to invoke the sacred name of the father
Of his country TO sanction course of policy
against which he warned them with his latest
breath.
MADMEN SHOULD NEVER HUNT IN COUPLES.
Cardinal De Retz tells the following pleasant
story. During the contest between the faction Of
the Prince of Condo, and that Of the Flonde head
ed by the Cardinal, it was expected rencontre
would take place at the parliament house, and
each mustered his friends for the occasion. The
Marquis of Canaillac, who was the greatest mad
man IN all France, but very brave, came to offer
his services to the Cardinal; but just at the mo-
ment he was about doing this, the Marquis q
Rouillac, man Of precisely the same stamp, en-
tered for the same purpose. Upon which CANAL
lac said to the Cardinal: :" came to offer you my
sword, but it would be unjust that the two great
est madmen III France should be on the same side.
am going to join the Prince of Condo" Messrs.
Hale and Chase, and Messrs. Giddings and Pres
ton King, ought not to belong to the same fac
ton. There is too much spice for one pudding
They should inhabt different cells, and not suf-
fered to " restrain and aggrayate" each other, as
Mic Bottom says.
INsINCERIry.
A reputation for nsincerity prevents a man
from being believed when really in earnest.

Nothing is more certain than that the world Of
ten wishes to be deceived.
