FoND OF NovELrr. 1t is said of the Ger
mans that once upon a time" their pedngogue
were so fond Of novelty, that tired and disguise
with the antiquated alphabet they fell to teach
ing their pupils how to hiss and boot, to Co
and cackle, to bray and growl, like tame an,
wild beasts. Rather an odd way, to be sure, %
teaching the young idea how to Shoots" bu
little less preposterous and ridiculous than th'
teachings of some Of our own pedagogues in thf
modern political schools and conventions AMI
quite as rational, though not so amusing, as tho

tercourse. The men of those DAYS were not
given to change nor pleased with novelty, nor
driven about by every wind of doctrine, like
some men and parties that we wot of at the
present day. Such are unsafe guides. Il is

we love to live and move aud have our being in
it. We like things new and good as well as
other folks, but we strongly dislike new lights
in politics and mere nickname politicians. The
old fashioned names ana principles prevalent n
the days Of w ashington aud Jefferson, please us
better and we freely confess we had rather live
and die IAN old iedcmlisl," and abide by the
federal constitution Ike Washington, Hamilton.
