The New York Herald reads lesson to the
political press and its correspondents. which
mere pharsaical pretenders may profit BY
We trust the Herald may have the fortitude tc
restrain that ribald denunciation of public men
unhappily but too common, and practise up to it,
preaching The tone of papers pretending to
be dignifed organs of great parties has sunk in
previous canvasses far below the level of de.
cency. We trust this rebuke from 80 unex.
pected source will not fail in its effect Every
sensible man in the country is sick at the slal g
and scurrility which constitute the bulk of cleo
pioneering capital. Nothing is as cheap as bal
derdash and blackguardsm, and nothing 30 stu
pd for they always recoil on the creature who
panders to prejudice and mean malignity.
Let us have free speech, open utterance of
truth on all sdes-but let not the people sanction
nor applaud appeals to their baser feelings.
If candidacy for the highest offices in the
gift of the people is to be position, for time
equal to place in pillory, the acquisitions for
office and its aspirants will both 60 down a de.
scending scale:
GENERAL ScoTT's PRIVATE AFFAIRS, AND
THE WASHINGTON LETTER WRITER'S We
have received letter from Washington, for pub
LEGATION, in reference to the domestic relations
of General Scutt and his family; and we take
this occasion to say, that such are not the ma
terials upon which We conduct our course in
political stfars With the private relations Of
General Scott's family the newspapers have no
business to intermeddle, and all respectable
Washington letter writer's ought to be ashamed
of such dishonorable warfare. The letter in
question says, among other things that letters
have been addressed, by certain Wings, to all
the Catholic bishops in the United States, APP
pealing for their influence over their 1ocks in
bchalf of the election of General Scott, on the
ground of his family connection with the Cath
Olic church, and that several favorable answers
have already been received. This general charge
which may or may not be without foundation
the writer follows up with certain particulars
relating to General SCOTS family, which we
know to be incorrect, unjust and unwarrantable.
We despise all such base expedients in party
politics. The New York Tribune, in its coarse
abuse of Gen. Pierce. has set the example of
pursuing political candidate into, and hunting
him out of, his own house but we claim to
conduct the New York Herald upon higher
standard of political morality. Enough is known
of the private relations of Gen. Scott and Gen.
Pierce to justify the public opinion that they are
both above reproach in that respect. Satisfied
Of this, we cannot follow Greeley in the dirty
work of low personal abuse of either candidate;
and our correspondents everywhere will please
bear this in mind. The first question to be set.
| tied is, will saltpetre explode?

1t was not for this he subdued his native pride,
wandered from kingdom to kingdom, kneeling
at the feet of princes suppliant for means to
prosecute his sublime enterprise. 1t was not
for this, after having at last secured the patron
age of Isabella, that he put off in his crazy and
disappointed fleet into unknown seas, to struggle
with storms and tempests, and the rage of a
mudnous crew. 1t was another and nobler kind
of ambition that stimulated him to contend with
terror, superstition and despair and to press for
ward on his perilpus course, when the needle in
his compass, losing its polarity, seemed to unite
with the fury of the elements and the insuhOr
dination of his crew in turning him back from
his perilous but glorious enterprise. 1t was the
hope which was realized at last, when his un.
grateful country was compelled to inscribe, as
an epitaph on his tomb
" Columbus has given new world to the king
dom of CASTLE and Leon"
that enabled him at first to brave 80 many dis
appointments, and at last to conquer the multi
tude Of periIs that beset his pathway on the
deep. This, sir, is the ambition of the truly
grea'-not to achieve present fame, but future
immortality. This being the case, it is BETTING
here to-day to add to the life of Henry Clay the
record of his death, sgnalized as it is by ma
TONS gratitude and grief It ia right that pos
terty should learn from u.s. the contemporaries
of the iustrious deceased, that his virtues and
services were appreciated by his country, and
acknowledged by the tears of his countrymen
poured out upon his grave.
The career of Henry Clay was a wonderful
one. And what an illustration of me excellence
