YorSG MEN.-The idea is prevalent
in some communities. that young men are
fit neither for generals or Statesmen, and
that they must be kept in the back
ground until their physical strength is
impaired by age, aud their intellectual
faculties become blunted BY the weight
of years. Let us look to the history Of
the past, and from the long list Of heroes
and statesmen, select some who have dis
tinguished themselves, and we shall find
that they were young men when they
performed those acts which have won for
them an imperishablc need of fame. and
placed their names high on the page Of
history. Alexander, the q 'nqreror ofthe
then whole civilized world. viz, Greece,
Egypt and Asia. died at 33. Bonaparte
was crowned Emperor of France when
33 years of age. Pitt, the younger, was
about twenty yeara Of age, when. in
Britians Parliament he boldly advocated
the cause Of the American Colonies. and
but % when made Chancellor of the lfx-
chequer. Edmund Burke at the age IF
25. was first Lord of the Treasury. Our
own Washington was but 25 when lie
covered the retreat Of the British .roors
at Braddock's 3 defeat. and was appointed
to the command in chief of all the VII
ginian forces. Alexander Hamilton. at
20. was Lieutenant Colonel and aid to
w ashington-at 25 member Of Con.
gress-at 33 Secretary Of the Treasury.
Thomas Jefferson was but 80 when he
drafted the ever memorable Declaration
OF independence. At the age of 80 years.
Sir Isaac Newton occupied the ma hema.-
ical chair at Cambridge college, England,
having by his scientific discoveries rem
dered his name immortal. We might
continue the list to a greater length. bat
enough has been said already, to show
tina. the idea that young men are no.
capable Of performing great and obling
1ct;ons, or Of taking high position in
the councils ofa nation, il chimc.icai and

Amencanism.

The Hon. Samuel Houston, in a letter
written u few months since, thus alludes
to the object of he Americ IN party:
"The design of the American Order is
not to put down Catholics, put to prevent
Catho les putting down Protestants.
The members the Order would not, nor
do they intend to interfere wi the Cath
Ole religion, or their mode Of worship :;
but at the same time We are not willing to
place power in the hands of those who
acknowledge or owe temporal allegiance
to any 70 eign prince, king or potcntate -
Again. it is said the principles of the
American Order prescribe foreigners, and
are intend d to extend the period of natur-
Aviation DO not regard this principle
as proscrlp,ive. understand foreigners
to be protected in the fnll enjoymon, of
a their civil rights, and exercising what.
ever religo Gus opinions or modes OF worship
they irotess. No one wishes to abridge
those privileges.
The possession and exercise of political
right are distinct matters. Females and
minors pos ess and enjoy civil rights, Yet
they are not capable Of exercising the
political right of Suffrage, This is a
constitutional right of,all qualified natives,
The extension of that right to those who
are not natives, is matter of grace and
favor. Congress has the power to in.
vest foreigners with the right upon sue"
conditions as smay be thought proper and
expedient for'he we being Of the Repub.
Ec.
The teacher of the modern school who
claim to be the only democrats or patriots
in the country, admit that some modi'ca-
ton in thr naturalization laws might be
well enongh. They take care not TO say
how far they are willing to go. Are thy
