who adhered to the proposition in 1850,

Whatever may be said of the principles Of

that they have selected n noble standard bear.
err. He is II man without reprOach in his
private relation and aopoli,ician of disinter-
ested patriotism. Although sef-made
man, he is possessed of varied learning and
profound skill in the science of statesman
ship. More than all, he has a sterling Ro-
man frinness, and is an honest man--such
as the country greatly needs in these times.
His indifference to political preferment is ad
mirably shown in his absence from petty ma
neOverings, on tour of foreign travel, in
which he is gathering knowledge for future
usefulness to Himself aud country.
