which were adopted, with only about fifty !
dissenting voices. Was there ever such a
triumph Of Truth and Right, over Errorg
What King might not have rejoiced to ex-
change places with Mr., Wharton thstpight?
Butagain' on.the Temperance question,
Mr. W has taken strong grounds for pro-.
hibition, Here. too. he has been success
full. His course on this question has made
him many bitter enemies; but he has tri
umphed, and will triumph gl6riously. We
desire to say much more of this great moral
Hero, but our space forbids. We must,
however, answer an inquiry just made bya
friend at our elbow. Is Mr., w. rich? Yes,
richer than Cresus, in all that constitutes
true and lasting wealth. In houses and
lands, gold and silver. and such like perish
able commodities, he is as poor as a printer.
HIS salary as editor, we believe, is his only
means of support. He is called a poor
man IAN unsuccessful man, by those whose
| a. u .L.lt tsI IsI Ist n f.I.f fal 81
minds never soar above "yellow EARTH.
He is neither. He has riches Of mind, and
heart and conscience, whitehall the gold Of
California cannot purchase, and when the
..'most' successfulS' Il the wealthiest) nabob
Of Wheeling shall haveibeen forgotten, and
his property Scattered to the four Winds"

Mr.. Wharton's name will be remembered
and cherished by thousands who have felt
and will yet feel andacknowledge the influ-
ence Of his precepts and example. May
he yet live and labor many years, and 60
