A Word In Friendship.

am sometimes induced to think that
the evils of our elective,system are much
greater than they need be, we're We little
more considerate. Were we what voters
should be, we should need no excitements
annually to teach us how to vote, or to
induce us to attend at the polls. Or, if
our cause indeed require some artificial
stimulus s-or, if there be gross ignorance
which requires the illumination Of partizan
radiance, still methinks our patriots might
be content to save their country once in
four years (instead Of every year, if they
only thought SO.
We would seriously advise our young
friends, of whatever party, to pause before
rushing with their native ardor into the
arena of party strife. There are far better
ways Of spending time and money, than
on the boisterous waves Of politics. Never
have we known pure and ingenious
youth escape some de6lement upon coming
in contact with the leaders in partizan
warfare. Any one who has observed, can
but regret the chickering's among friends
the divisions among brethren-the mar
rings of intellect and character-which
early initiation into politics soon reveals.
To avoid this, let the young abstain for a
few years from active participation in elec-
tions. To judge correctly of men and of
measures, requires some years, and more
knowledge of history and of politics in its
true and higher sense, than most young
men are privileged to possess; and modes
ty would advise them not to be forward in
expounding doctrines concerning which
the Oldest men do not agree. Let us live
and learn-hear, and be wise. Probably
none of us too well understand our studies
or our business, or pay too much attention
to the cultivation of our manners. These
are the most proper pursuits of youth; nor
can it be doubted that female society is far
more useful in implanting and strengthen
ing virtuous principles, than the company
and evil associations of electioneering
demagogues.
One word more: All the efforts of the
antagonistic clubs, will avail nothing. One
counteracts the other-and thus both arc
dead losses. And when their friends shall
have expended, with time and money! a
vast amount of valuable eloquence-when
many very large fish stories shall have
been told, and truth and decency become
outraged by many in the contest-when
passions shall have been inAamed, and
wounds inflicted which it will require
years to heal....why, Bigler and Johnston
will be voted for or against, just as they
would have been had all these worse than
useless efforts not been put forth.-Such
at least is the conviction of one who never
fails to vote, but who bows to no partizan
behests. A WAsHINGTONIAN.

LEWISBURG CHRONICLE WEST BRANCH FARMER.



Has resigned his post Of Professor Of
Mathematics and Natural Philosophy in
the University at this place, to take effect
at the end of the present session; and has
accepted the Presidency of Madison Uni.
versity, at Hamilton, N. Y. He has been
the main spring of the Lewisburg Univer'
sity, and leaves it, after five years of ar
duous and persevering toll, in q highly
prosperous condition. We do not know
that we can better express our estimate Of
his eminent professional qualifications and
high moral worth, than to copy and endorse
the following extracts from some Of oul
exchanges.
We learn from Rev. DR.. Eaton, that
the Presidency of Madison University has
been rendered to Prof STEPHEN w. TAY-
LoR, of the University of Lewisburg, and
has been formally accepted by him. We
regard this as the most fortunate acquisi-
tion for the Institution which could have
been made 1t is, in itself, an endowment,
of more worth than can be measured by
dollars and cents.
OF the sterling merit of Prof Taylor,
this community needs not to be informed.
His unbounded popularity with the stu
dents, his thorough and judicious method
of discipline, and his rare abilities as a
teacher are here known and appreciated.
President Taylor will assume his Office
at the commencement of the next term.
He will return to warm friends whose best
wishes and earnest efforts for his success
will attend him.-Hamilton IN. ". Jour
nal.
STEPHEN w. TAYLOR, formerly Prof
of Mathematics and Natural Philosophy
in Madison University, and late Prof in
the University at Lewisburg, has accepted
the Presidency of Madison University at
Hamilton. This will be joyful news to
the friends of our beloved Institution, for
Prof. Taylor is, unquestionably, one Of
the best instructors of youth in our de-
nomination, and the Baptists of this State
have great confidence in him as a man, a
scholar, and a Christian. And the fact
that Prof Taylor, after looking carefully
at the condition and prospects Of Madison
University, has left the head of flourish
ing University in Pennsylvania, and cast
in his lot with the former, will greatly
confirm the hopes of Baptists in relation
to our Institution at Hamilton.-N T.
WeekIy Chronicle
The Utica Register brings us the intel
ligence that Prof Taylor, Of the Universe
ty of Lewisburg, has accepted the Presid-
ency of Madison University, where he was
formerly Professor for several years. The
friends of Madison may well congratulate
themselves on the acquisition of Prof. Tay-
lor as their President, for he is popular
teacher and an accomplished disciplinarian.
The corporations, the students, and patrons
of the University, will hold him in grateful
remembrance for his valuable instructions
and influence there, and follow him to his
responsible position with their prayers and
best wishes for his future prosperity
GPhila. Christian Chronicle.
Prof. Taylor's resignation was handed
in at the last meetingof the Board in Lew
isburg, and immediate and ample measures
were taken to secure a successor in his De-
partment-and also to select a President
of the Institution.

Bench.

Inc wing W0ml0oe3 I0I t0e supreme
Bench.
Mr.. MEREDITH was Secretary Of the
Treasury under President Taylor, and is
the acknowledged head of the Philadelphia
Bar. But he is not popular with the mass of
people either in or out of the city; and
even if he should get large vote at home,
on account Of the existing dissatisfaction
in the Democratic ranks, it would doubt
less, be fully met by a falling of in the
interior of the State. In politics he is q
Wing of the ultra conservative school, ,and
exceedingly distrustful of the Democratic
progress Of the age.
Judge CHAMBERS is an upright man, Of
digni6ed and courteous manners, cool
judgment and ripe experience but pos
sessing little personal popularity, and ex-
tremely conservative in his political views.
In the Reform Convention he was the
earnest advocate of the life tenure for Ju-
dicial officers.
Judge JEssUP, has for some years been
an efficient President in the Common Pleas,
but his connection with the defunct Sus-
quehanna County Bank will seriously
damage his prospects in his own section of
country. He is said to be an ultra
free soiler.
Mr.. Comfy is perhaps twenty years
younger than either of the other nomi-
nees, but it is no more than justice to state
that he possesses fine legal mind, and at
tainments.
Judge CouLTER's learning and accom-
plishments have justly placed him in the
front rank Of his profession. He holds
his present seat in the Supreme Court by
nomination from Gov. Skunk, and was
one Of the best appointments of his ad.
ministration. He processes allegiance
to the Whig party, but as Judge
of the Supreme Court he has been
more truly and uniformly Democratic and
impartial than most of his brethren on the
Bench, showing no more favor in any
respect, to the most powerful corporation,
than he would to the poorest and humblest
citizen in the Commonwealth. He seems
to have truer appreciation Of popular
rights, and more regard for them in prac-
tice, than most Of the material that has
found its way on to the Supreme Bench.
He received q votes in the Harrisburg
Convention, mostly delegates from radically
Democratic districts, and was better enti-
tied to nomination at the hands of Dem
Gratis who have really any regard for rrin-
ciple, than some of his successful compel
itors. We have no hesitation in saying he
will receive our vote.
