WHO IS COMMODORE PAULDINe Hi
rama Paul ling comes honestly by his skill
in arresting unlawful expeditions. HIS
father was the celebrated John Paulding,
the Peekskill farmer, who was one of the
three captors Of Major Andre. Hiram
was born in Westchester county and early
in life entered the navy, where he has
gradually worked his way up through
the grades Of Midshipman, Lieutenant,
Commander and CAPTAIN. r. has ever
uueen one Of the most efficient and valued
officers in the service, and government a
short time since showed its appreciation
Of the fact, by apo nting Him to the
command of the Home Squadron, which
he now holds
We observe the 44tas intimates that
the Commodore exceeded his instruc-
tons" in so promptly capturing Walker.
The same complaint was made by Ar
nold's friends against John Paulding.
Nevertheless, history and public opinion
justified the one and will justify the 9TH

Com. Paulding and the Admin-
fstratiOn.

The Administration seems to be sore
" puzzled to know what to do with Com.
Paulding. In his special message trans
united to the Senate, President Buchanan
admits that Paulding did good thing,
but he exceeded his Instructions; Walker
did a wrong thing but was not caught
at the. right time; and so he seems to
think both had better be censured and
excused.
The fact is the President is in an un-
comfortable position-between two fires.
The South is eiamorous that Padding be
punished, and finds no fault with Wal
ker's course, but the President knows full
well that if he follows the lead of the fire.
eaters too far, he estranges from his sup
port the Democracy of the North. To us
it seems that Com. Paulding obeycd the
spirit of his Instructions, and deserves and
will receive the praise and not the blame
of the mass of the nation. In the Sen
ate there was very spicy debate on the
Message ly Senators Seward, Douglas,
Pugh, Tombs and others.

Consuming the administration.

The st. Louis Repu6lican, a leading
Buchanan paper, pours raking broad
side into the Administration for its con-
siderate treatment of Fillibuster Walker,
and its criminal neglect Of our army in
Utah.
The Republican ventures the opinion
that if Gen, Jackson had seized Walker,
he would havo hung him at the yark arm
and thinks it burning shame that SO
much attention should be bestowed on the
Fillibuster, while the flower of our Army
is starving on the plain.
The Republican thinks that mo period
in the previous history of this country has
presented such spcctacle-such utter
and wanton abandonment OF an army that
has done everything that men could do
to carry out the orders Of the Government,
even with belief that in doing SO, they
were rushing upon destruction.

Encouraging Prediction.

Senator Seward has justly earned a
reputation for sagacity as a financial seer.
Two years ago he accurately predicted
the monetary revulsion which has recently
overwhelmed the country with bankrupt
cy. In his recent speech on the Treasury
Note Bill in the Senate, he gave utter lnce
to the following opinion on the business
prospects of the country =
'In my judgment, the acceleration of
business is going to be rapid just in pro
portion to the rapidity with which bust
ness has declined; and | expect to see ey-
cry day, and every hour of every day,
marked by a rise in the prosperity of the
country. graduated just exactly by the
suddenness of the depression. The causes
of the disaster are gone. / think there is
nothing before us but q great revival of
business and plethora Of money to re-
viye it in all departments. | may be
mistaken in this, but | ain willing to

A Word about Morals.

The duties devolylnG on every person as
citizen are but poorly discharged, if he
neglects to support that which is right,
and at all times, without reserve, to con-
denim that which is wrong. He who may
not himself be q participant in actual
transgression, yet hcedlessly watches the
crime and docs not come out boldly and
publicly, as his Obligations to society de-
mand, and condemn it, is unfaithful to
his duties as citizen When arrogant
and fulfilled vice stalks through a commu-
nifty, and mingles in all the circles of the
virtuous and refined, and receives coun-
finance, and its soci,ty is courted in
stead of receiving the disapprobation that
Justly belongs to it, the presumption is
fair that something is wrong. What is
it? 1t may be want of decision and firm
hess; it may be Ignorance as to what an
acquiescence in the evil will lead to-; or
inattention thereto may jeopardiZe the
happiness Of an individual.
civil communications corrupt good
manners" And in view of this fact we
SD uld be careful Of those with whom we
are in daily controversy; and should be
rs careful of the morals of our associates
as of our own. We have but little more
charity for one who ncgIects his duty, than
for him who really violates the law. And
when person foul from the dens of vice,
intrudes- upon an enlightened and virtu-
Gus community, (the true character being
known) and receives no reprimand, every
member of that community is false to his
or her duty.
Where those who live in open violation
of all the the rules, regulations, decencies,
and prophecies, which are an essential
part of the code of morality, and who
make such violations pride and daily
boast, are suffered to associate rnrebuked
with those who profess better things, If
repcrable injury is done to community
and in several ways: for not only is the
self respect Of each person impaired who
associates with him, but the respect Of
others for them is lessencd. An evil eff
feet is also produced upon those who are
yet too young to apear in society. but who
are not too young to feel that natural alb
horrcncc and disgust of crime common
to most; while if care be not used, this
adherence will become weakened, and
after association with tho guilty will not
Leave them guiltless. The sanctuary of
home, the hor.e altar, where nothing i'm
pure should be gathered, becomes the
abode of evil thoughts, which as years
PASS away, ripen into acts and bcc( me
the fruitful parents Of crime.
Be careful, then, whom you harbor and
countenance in your daily intercourse, if
You would discharge your duties faithful
y to yourself and to community.
