siias wrigAtss wealth

The Daily Wisconsin, edited by Cramer,
formerly of Albany, speaking Of the wealth
of the most eminent AmerioAn statcsme en- !,
concludes his first with the following refer.
eoce to Silas Wright:
"Silas Wright, with his estate Of 81 900,
was really weather. than many others are
with 100000. He owed no man anything;
no met his obligations with the utmost
promptness, and never INDUCED in any lux.
ury that ho could not pay for. He was a
model OF republican simplicity. 1t should
also be understood that he was not mean in
saving money.
"Thcre was something glorious in Witness
INK great statesman like Silas Wright, new
Or asking pecuniary favor--or even accept.
ing one, yet possessing only an income that
could support him and his wife in frugaity
When he was elected Governor of the great
State of New York, he was known to be too
poor to furnish his house. His rich friends
got together and without his knowledge
made up subscription which was rendered
to him AS gift, in order to furnish his man
sion. This he respectfully but kindly de-
clincd, saying with true Roman grandeur,
that ho could not consent to receive such a
favor from any one--even from his most es
teemed friends-he was elected by the people
TO be Governor of the State of New York,
and he considered it his imperative duty to
live on whatever income the people had APP
pended to that office, and he did live on that
income while he was Governor, in good style;
but with no ostentation. Such an example
on the part Of so eminent man as he was,
i one Of those precious legacics that the
young men Of the present day should bear in
mind-as no true greatness can ever be
achieved so long as they nre the pecuniary
slaves Of even their nearest friends. When
public man receives fayors that he cannot
repay, he loses that sturdy Independence so
essential to usefulness, and an enduring pop
ularity. 'Live within your income," is more
important to one who aims to be an inauen-
tial and useful statesman, than any other
maxim.n
