THE PREcEPT OF WAsHrNeToN.-The
following sentence is from letter addressed
by Washington to Lafayette, and dated Mt
Vernon, Dec. %, 1893:
On the politics of Europe ! shall express
no opinion, nor make any inquiry who is
right or who is wrong. l wish well to all
nations and TO all. My politics are plain and
simple. Think every nation has right
to establish that form of government under
which it oOncelves it may live most happy,
provided it infracts no right, or is not dan
gerous to others; and that no government
ought TO interfere with the internal con-
Germs of another, except for the security
Of what is due to themselves.

folds of her dress, but striking the whale
bone Of her corset, its force was diverted
and the force Of the blow broken, the dag
ger merely entered below the the last rib,
causing slight flesh wound, and inhicting
a trivial wound on the arm: Tie assassin
was instantly SECURED and proved a villain
of the deepest dye-Acr Majesty is fast re-

;, we find III The East Palmyra Wing q card
from this gentleman, returning his thanks to
his friends who have mentioned his name in
connection with the office Of Governor, and
declining to run. We make the following
extracts from his card:-
"During residence of twenty-five years
in this State, have sought faithfully and
honestly to discharge my duty to my country,
in sustainingto the utmost of my feeble abl-
tiles, that course of policy best calculated
in my humble opinion, to advance the pros
perity of my country, and the welfare and
happiness of my fellow citizens. And tC
aid in efiecting these desirable objects,
have found it necessary to act in conjunction
with the Wing party. But hatter myself
that in the advocacy of its principles, !
have been actuatcd by higher motive than
the attainment of office. l have rendered
no political services for which l expected tc
be rewarded. / have done nothing more
than discharge that duty which, in common
with every other citizen, owed to the Gov.
eminent and country.
The Wings are under no obligations tc
me; and being satisfied that they will have
no difficulty IN finding men more deserving
and better qualified than myself, to fill the
offices Of Government, l feel no hesitancy
in declaring, that distrust of my abilities
my business relations, ana a want of incli-
nation on my part to hold office, require that
] should decline even the possibility of re.
tceiving nomination from the Convention.
Your fellow citizen,
THOS. L. ANDERSON.
