nutions, observing honorable pence

mitted to say hope without ex-
,rayagance that have the honor
to regard him this day, in comparison
with any public American, pre-emi-
nenuy qualified for the station TO
which we call him. at least would
rather give the flag Of my country into
the hands OF a man that carried II
among the living aud tae dead, up
the sleeps Of Monterey, and against
the Tremendous odds at Buena Vista,
than enlrust it TO the man Of Kinder
hook, who carried out that radiant
standard, and laid it at the foot OF
the English throne" Immense APP
plause.
We do not see why this will not
apply with perfect proprlety to the
brave pathfinder We commend it
To those huge admirers Of Mr..
Choale, who cannot see Ia Mr.. Ere
mont a single qualification for the
Presidency.

Rufus Choate's Ideal of +,
Presidential Candidate.

About this time there is no more
refreshing reading than the cele-
brated speeches Of Mr.. Rufus Choate
IN support of Gen. Taylor. They
contain great deal of excellent mr.
gument against slavery extension,
aud a great deal more sense than we
have been able To find in the later
productions of this distinguished ora
tor. And whereas grent many
people are saying that John @. Ere
mont has had no experience in poll
tics, and therefore is not fit to be
President, we beg leave to quote
what Mr.. Choate says upon that
point;
81 hear il asked whether he has
the requisite degree Of political inior-
nation, and experience in public
affairs. Sir, ! cannot help believing
that Gen. Zachary Taylor is destined
in the hands of Providence, TO Illus
trate the truth of that remark Of that
great observer, Edmund Burke: Il
have many times taken notice, that
men not professionally trained in the
details OF public office, yet when call
ed into great stations have by the mere
force Of simple discretion conducted
the affairs Of nations with dislin-
gulshed felicity and glory expect
the illustration of that remark in the
eight years or the four years of the
administration Of General Zachary
Taylor. All his life he has served
his country ina department, Of the
General Government, enlarging and
elevating him above the influences
OF mere politics. All bis life long
now from his youth TO somewhat pasi
middle age, the ripper time of men,
life, he has been an observer of the
fortunes, the policy, and the interest
OF the General Government. All hi.
life long he has been an equal asso
ciate with those great scenes in all
his intervals of leisure, in his winter
evenings, his furloughs, he has been
an observer, student, and a thinker
upon the great national interests o
the land. He has learned them, sir
as julius Caesar learned astronomy
in the camp.
For all these reasons, observe IL
him exactly the ability you expect
from the Chief Magistrate Of the
land. He is not 10 conduct our di.
plomatIc correspondence with all tho
world; he is not to settle matters o
international jurisprudence he Is {,
execute firmly, humanely, and stead
lily, the laws Of the land, which Con.
gress prescrlbes. He is 10 appoint
honest aud incorupible men to pub
llc office; he is to hold sleadY
hand between this nation aud foreign

HAVE NO TINE TO READ.-The idea about
the want of time is a mere phantom. Frank
lin found time in the midst of all his labors to
drive into the hidden recess Of all his philoso-
ply, and explore the untrodden path Of
science. The great Frederick, With an empire
at his direction, in the midst of war, on the
eve Of battles which were to decide the fate
of his kingdom, found time to revel in the
charms of philosophy and intellectual pleas
ures BOnaparte, with all Europe at his dis
posal, with kings in his ante-chamber begging
for vacant thrones, with thousands of men
whose destinies were suspended by the brittle
thread of his arbitrary pleasure, had time to
converse with books. Caesar, when he had
curbed the spirits of the Roman people, and
was thronged with visitors from the remotest
Kingdoms, found time for intellectual conyer-
sation Every man has time; if he is careful
to improve it as well as he might, he can
reap three-fold. Let mechanics make use
of the hours at their disposal, if they want to
obtain proper influence in society. They
can, if they please, hold in their hands the
destinies Of our Republic.

How STORY WAS FINIsHED.-Some Years

the first chapter of what promised to be a
thrilling romance, with the expectation of
being provided with the concluding portions
as might he needed. The chapter was very
iDgeniOusly written, and concluded by lcar-
ing the principal character suspend ed by the
pant4iOons from the limb of a tree o. or per-
pendicular precirice IL attracted the atten-
tion of the press, and inquiries were about 20
be made concerning the continuation of the
story and the fate of the hero. Day sfter
day the victimized publishers looked for the
remaining chapters, but in vain they rever
came to hand. Finding that they had been
sold, and wishing to put a stop to the Jokes
their sOtcmporaries were cracking at their ex-
pense, they briefly concluded the story thus
