Exceptions to all Rules.

The truth Of the proverb that some things can be
done as we'll as others, admits Of speculation. There
is no rule without an exception, relating to finite
things Now we ask, if it is reasonable to suppose,
that when the thermometer is in the neigborhood ot
the Ninetics that is expected to direst himself
of all personal considerations and irrespective of his
comfort and anxiety to keep COOL should sit down and
deliberately attempt to impose upon his readers BY
palming off editorial plrporng to be an emanation
from lis own prolific brain? flour readers want edi-
torias t!ey must write them, for we confess that our
ingenuity is taxed to its utmost capacity. Copy is
wanted and the only plan by which it can be obtained
is to sciSsorize pretty extensively.

Our Representatives Abroad.


The recent instructions of Secretary MARCY to our
Foreign representatives-that all unnecessary dstnc-
tons be laid aside and the primitive customs Of our
country be restored in regard to our intercourse and
appearance at tho different courts Of other countries
strike us being only in keeping with the preten
sions Of our government, but as perfectly consistent
with good common sense and republican forms. We
profess be democratic government, and indepen-
dent of those peculiar distinctions which characterize
Others True Republicallism is the basis upon which
our government was first instituted: but disposition
has been very manifest on orr par to ape the crowned
heads and in moro ways than one. This was mani
tested wien tho first President naEgurated; there
were those then to be found who would have made
Washington King; hut happily it was timely re-
strained and titled ari; tocracr is thing in nane and
not in fact We have no heirs to the throne-thc
people make their Presidents.
There is great lust for power, and when that power
is obtained it does happen sometimes that is abused
But there is a remedy. The power that gave has the
power to take away. We believe that to a certain
extent at least there should be rules and regulations
in every department and sphere ofour government for
the proper operation of the same There must be rules
of poteneSs and some established forms by which to
he govcrned but there is such thing as OVERRIDING
the NATTER and standing too much upon triflcs. The
simplicity of cT conscrpt Fathers is truly refreshing
in these later days Of progress and presumption. Thcn
there could be gentlemen without troublc-it came
natural And Franklin, when called to stand before
Kings and crowned heads, was a worthy representa-
tive and genuine specimen Of the nation lie represented
He was plain, unpretending gentleman, and did not
care for the pomp and circumstance OF power Great
men generally distinguished by their simplicity and
natural case of manners. 1t is not necessary that a
great man should any particular charac erstc
or possess ccccntrictcs by which 10 distinguish Linn
from the common herd. Ifhc is entitled to greatness
rs soon as lie docs himself A man is not obliged to
be strange to be singuary talented and there is not
surer test BY which to jndgc OF the real man, than
when honors crowd thick and fast upon him. Some
men are born to honors, and have honors thrust
npon thcm But if n man is not sufficient for them,
they will not sit comfortably upon him, and therefore
he will be apt to get rid of them without much trou
bic
We might 60 On speculatng TO aconsderablc length.
The point is this that government needs great
deal OF modification, kind of general ra=eeing-wo
know of no better wordto bring it back to its origin
al simplicity and beauty Of operation. We like the
present move in regard to instructions to foreign
Representatives.

flctnres are cstablshel upon Il large scale the
home demand for our staple would be great
If we consume large part OF our cotton ut
hume, less would BE- sent to foreign markets
and if the supply decreases, British consumers
woHId he corpeled to pay more for the raw
material, aud hence foreign goods would ST. far
increase in price that we might compete sue
cess!iniIy with foreign manufactures. Nor
would n system Of manufactures established in
the South suffer even in lis infancy from foreign
competition. We have a species Of labor
which is as cheap is the cheapest Of British
paupers. 1t is under greater control and sub
lcct TO strictcr subordinaion, and IN time would
become m1ch more available. There is no
doubt that slave labor could he employed sue
cesstuIy in mining and in large manufacturing
operations. Intelligent superintendent might
be necessary rs they aie in other countries,
but 50 far as mechanical execution is concerned,
the American nero would serve as well rs the
ignorant operative of England. So far as the
quality and price of labor is concerned VIC are
not behind any part of the manufacturing world
aud we should be ahead of all Others III the adj
vantage of choice home market. The prac-
ticabilitv of manufacture in the South is too
apparent tor argument The consequences that
would follow its establishment are too great for
comprehension.
Enterprise and ingenious lien and capital
would b. attracted hther and bring their he.
cessary train of dependents. In "A quarter Of
Il century we might behold. a country now
>I,ar:eiy settled, studded with thriving villages
and v"ca with the n"ise Of spiujles and the
ringing of hundred forge<. An extensive
$. stem Of manufactures in cnmj uncli"n with
the immense growth Of one Of the most int.
p"rtant sta les of modern commerce, wonl'l
make the South all that she would desire t" be
"a state in herself. A moral and political
power unknown in any other portion of this
hemisphere, and fit to be coveted by the world,
would accrue to us. 1t would prove a break
water 10 The tide of Northern aggression. II
would contribute very much to the final re.
stnraion Of that equality Of power and the
representation which existed when the Uni"n
was formed, and secure our Implied lbcilles
under the constitution from further attack.

The WIpow OF GEN. HARRrsoN. The es.
timab!e widow of Gen. Harrison still occupies
portion of the old mansion at North Bend,
where she is watched over by the flial care of
the family Of Col. Taylor. She is in the Sc.
rene evening of long and eventful life. and,
though bearing the weight of mauy years, is
still able to move about her room. This ex.
celIent woman became the wife of Gen. (then
Capt.) Harrison, near the close of the last cen.
tury, while he was in command Of Fort Wash.
ington, now Cincinnati. Her father judge
Symmes, was principal of the original pro.
pretors of the Miami purchase, tract Of 24S..
900 acres which was first purchased at p-ice
of sixty six cents per acre. The present Har.
rson estate consists of 800 acres at North
Bend ,and 420 at the mouth of the Miami.
The property is as yet undivided, though it is
the intention of the heirs to effect division
the coming season. This step is rendered
necessary by the fact that, from the almost
constant absence Of the proprietor in former
years, the ;prodnctveness Of the land has so
far deteriorated, that strong per> onal interest
in the soil is indispensable to its resuscitation.
The estate formerly embraced large tract of
intervale laud to the northward, but is now
mostly composed Of high rolling lands near
