MERoANrIaE HoNoR.--It might tempt one to

we behold the credit which one man puts in
another, though separated BY oceans and con-
tnents; when he fixes the anchor OF a sure and
steady dependence On The reported honesty 81
one whom he never saw: when, with all his
fears for the treachery of the varied elements
through which his property has to pass, he
knows, that should il only arrive at the door Of
its destined agent all his fears and all his SUI
spieions may be al an end. We know nothing
finer than such an act of homage from one
human being to another, when, perhaps. the
diameter Of the globe is between them, nor do
we think that either the renown Of the veto,
ries. or the wisdom of her eounsels, so sigma
liSe the country IN which we live, as does the
honorable dealing at her merchants: all the
glorles OF British policy and British valor are
far eclipsea BY the moral splendor which Brit
iSh faith has run over the name and the char
aeter OF our nation; nar has she gathered SO
proud distinction from all the tributaries oil
her power. as she has done from the awarded
confidence of those men oil all tribes. and colors,
and languages, who lock to our agency for The
most faithful OF all management, and to our
keeping for the most insiolahle of all custody.
