dimensions, to which our political system
with its corresponding machinery of gov
ernment, is so rapidly expanding. With
increased vigilance does it require us to
cultivate the cardinal virtues of public
frugality and official integrity and purity.
Public affairs ought to be SO conducted
that settled conviction shall pervade the
entire Union, that nothing short of the
highest tone and stqpdard of public NOR
aliIy marks every part of the administra-
ton and legislation of the general gov
ernment. Thus will the federal system,
whatever expansion time and progress
may give it, continue more and more
deeply rooted in the love and confidence
of the people.
That wise economy, which is as far re-
moved from parsimony as from corrupt
and corrupting extravaganza, that single
regard for the public good, which will
frown upon all attempts to approach the
treasury with insiduous projects of pri-
vate interest cloaked under public pre-
texts, that second sound fiscal admins
tration, which, in the Legislative depart
ment guards against the dangerous temp
tations incident to overhowlng revenue,
and, in the executive, maintains an un-

in view of the more impressive sense OF

Since the adjournment of Congress,
the Vice President of the United States
has passed from the scenes Of earth, with
cut having entered upon the duties of the
station, to which he had been called by
the voice Of his countrymen Having
occupied, almost continuously, for more

secured unbounded confidence and uni.
versal respect, his failing health was

the circumstances, has been justly regar-
ded as inseparable.
In compliance with the act of Congress
of March 2, 1858, the oath of office was
administered to him on the Gath of that
month, at Ariadne estate, near Mantan-
zus, in the island of I uba; but his strength
gradually declined and was hardly suffi-
centt to enable him to return to his home
in Alabama, where, on the eighteenth day
of April, in the most calm and peace

career was terminated. trf

be true, but as regards the supply of coal,
that difficulty can easily avoided, and in

the Golfers of Jackson County can fur
nish your citizens with any amount Of
Coal, of better quality, and at less pri-
ces than can be obtained from any other
source. We know, that during the past
summer, some of ourown citizens proposed
paying $40 per Car for the purpose of
shipping Coal to Portsmouth. The reply
was, if the Cars can be h1d, they are at
your service, but they are all used in car
