for the manufacture of " Live Oak Clubs,"
to beat himself into the Prcsiien-
cy. George must know that stout oakcn
C2"b< cannot be made without money: and
they are novel instrument .Iity to
elevate man 10 the rank OF President. We
are convinced that, in the present instance at
least, no ether method would prove half 50
tcrt"a'. Hence we must look upon Mr..
Law resolution to incur the charge Of sin
ciness" lest the purity Of his motives be doubt
ed. as greatly diminishing the interest at
taching to his Presidential aspirations.
Whether his refusal to "pay his passage
toward the Executive Chair will materially
lessen his chances of ever sitting therein,
may bc doubted: at best they were unprom-
'slng but to remove his ouc sale qualification
for The ofli"c-to strip Crr>us Of his drach-
mas to leave the part Of Hamlet out of the
play altogether this is TO place Mr. Law at
the worst possible Disadvantages
Mr.. Law very resi- .nclly remarks that Iii
another is Sclc' ted he shall not be d>r,oSc,l
to murmur' This is we'll, and the most
sensible sentence in the whole letter. If
large intellectual and moral qualifications
are requisite in other men, thinks Mr.. Law,
have wealth; if eminent talent, great cx-
pclience, a character long distinguished for
wisdom and honor, renowned craftsmanship,
a familiar acquaintance with all tie functions
of Government, legislative and executive
ii these are some Of the essential require
ments in order TO u>;itv the funniest amti-
ton for Presidential honors, "I," saws Mr.
Law have accumulated some means bv no
little personal toll, and honest industry and
frugalitv.' A very worthy man is George,
no doubt it .ricvcS us to think he is not a
great one !; it is unfortunate for tie world
that every man is not wiser than all of his
ncighhor>: bat unfortunately facts arc strong
" against such a theory, and we must pos
scsS our souls in patience live oak Is ex-
celIcnt timber for ship luil!ing; and We
counsel Mr. Law aud his Drui,lic Il friends to
stick to their legitimate calling.
Since wri.iuo the a.nv, w, learn that \
Mr.. Andrews of New York. in a recent
speech advocating the claims OF - Live Hoax
Gcor.c" for the Presidency. informed the
audience that Mr. Law. "durin, his leisure
hours. when away from the toll, of business.
