The excitement in Lima, when it was

destroyed, the flowers and shrubbery torn
up, and nothing that could be of any value
was saved. We understand, also, that two
or three servants attached to the premises
were shot down. In Lima, the private res

AZ the ample moon,
In the deep stiffness of summers eve,
Rising behind a thick and lofty grove,
Burns like an unconsuming IRE Of light
In the green trees, and, kindling on all sides
Their leafy umbTsge, turns the dusky veil
Into q substance glorious as her own,
Yea, with her own incorporate, by power,
Capacious and serene like power abides
in mans celestial spirit Virtue thus
Sets forth and magnifes herself; thus feeds
A calm, beautiful, and silent fire,
From the membranes of mortal life,
From error, isappointment-nay, from guilt,
And sometimes, 80 relentless justice wills,
From pslpable expressions Of despair.

Weak and Unprincipled Men.

Principle is the essence of right. To
have faith in principle, and to act in conso-
nance Herewith, is at once an evidence of
wisdom, and sure guaranty of success. -
Puny minds, absorbed in the aggrandize-
ment of self, irrespective of what is due to
humanity outside of self, or-to use word
frequently found in the writings of SWEDEN
BORG - absorbed in the falsss of life, are
very frequently elated with what appears
to be the gradual but certain development
of their own affluence, Or honor, or merited
distinction when, in fact, their elation is
only the intumescence of their own corrupt
principles, and, like the bubble which the
child blows up, though it may appear SUBJ
stantial, and be reflective of beauty, it is
after all, only a cheat and a nothing. Who
that has lived among US even for a short
period, has not seen individuals appear be
fore the public invested with place and in
fuence, who, if possessed Of principle, would
now be enjoying the plaudits of grateful
people but who, being self-willed, and hav.
ing no faith in that maxim which is no less
the voice of history than the voice of GoD
that Honesty is the best policy" have len,
themselves to a betrayal of their trusts
and that, too, because gold dollar imme
diately before their eyes has, to them, ap
peared of more value than all the wealth
that lay in the future beyond, and which
had they but cherished a regard for the best
interests of the people, while having just
regard for their own, they might have pos
sessed in common with their fellows. Not
so, however. Their motto has been that OF
many charlatan before them 1--WE will
grasp now what we can What have we
to do with principle, honor, or honesty -
The power is in our hands, and the fools are
only those who, when they have the power
fail to use it for their own ACKNOWLEDGMENT r
1t is not difficult to make an application
Of these reflections to the majority in the
last legislature. They attempted to clutch
everything /; and none were so silly in their
eyes as those members who had the moral
courage and honesty to stand in their way
and expose their corrupt charletanism-
And now Messrs. Trick, Assumption, and
Jealousy, and all your hangers-on, whom,
think you, stand marked honorable" be
fore the people ? You who have attempted
to further your interests by fraud, chicane-
~, and the detraction of your betters {? or
those who have nobly withstood you, and
whom neither fattery, persecution, nor
brides, could cause to swerve in the slight
est from the demands of Truth, Honor, and
Honesty.
