The high responsibility Of the parents and
ancestors of all the aboyenamed youths, no
doubt reflects great credit upon the discern
mont and appreciation Of the President; and
yet we must confess, on reading the list we
have felt disappointed and mortified at not
finding in it the names Of several worthy and
well-approyed aspirants. Jonathan Furrow'
Philip Ploughbow, jeremiah Jackplane, Rod
erick Lapstone, and Clement Grist are all
overslanghed. Had this been the early usage
Of our Government, how many Of the favored
Of our land could now boast an ancestry OF
renown? 1t was the superiority Of plough
boys over the men Of distinguished ancestry,
that secured for our country it's independence,
and it would be safe rule Of conduct still to
recognise them as having rights and merits
In civil life they work their way to tho highest
places Of honor, trust, and profit. In the army
and navy, il the opportunity is left them, they
may possibly still fight their way to eminence.
