THE PowER OF THE WISE AND Coop.
1t is often said that knowledge is pow
er, and this is true. Skill or faculty of
any kind carries with it superiority. So
to certain extent, wealth is power, and
rank is power, and intellect is power, and
genius has a transcendent gift of mastery
over man. But higher, purer, and better
than nil, more constant IN its influence,
more lasting IN its sway, is the power of
haractey-that power which eliminates
from a pure and lofty mind. Take any
community, who is the man Of most infu-
ence! To whom do all look with rever-
encel Not the "smartest" man, not the
cleverest politician, aot the most brilliant
talkcr, but to him who in long course
of years, tried by the extremes ofprosper-
ity and adversely, has appro' ed himself to
the judgement Of his neighbors and of all
who have seen his life, as worthy to be
called Wise and Good.

T Dur;I g the canvass just past, the
Democrat has won notor;ety, unenyia-
bic we think, for the manner in which it
hns conducted the campaign. We will
allude to two particulars. The editor of
that sheet is an avowed infiel, noisy and
proflse in his denunciation of the prevail
ing religious opinions of the day. His
paper IS noted for its frequent contemptu-
Gus mention of things held sacred by pre-
tossing christians of every denomination.
Yet he-ayowel infdel as he is--know-
ing the strength of the religious sentiment
among the people, left the proper sphere
of political discussion aad strove to injure
Mr. Cox by appealing to the religious
praiuliees of those men whom he so free
jy doaounces as priest ridden bigots. IF
there is any lower deep of dishonor thnn
this, to which Mr.. Wise could stoop, We
know not what it is. We took no notice
Of this mstho,l Of attack during the cam
paign, for we believed that most men
knew that by their votes they were endor-
sing political, not religions principles, and
protesting christians hardly needed to be
reminded Of their duty by such sheets as
IL, DIT L. So fl,uf 81, a@
fort was futile, detracts nothing from the
meanness which prompted it.
The second particular in which Mr..
Wise has s:gnaiized himself is in the easy
facility with which he laadias such words
as ''liar," 'thef," &c. In common with
eyry other Republican editor in this Dis
tlict, we have had these terms freely be-
slowed upon US BY Dir. Wise. Now, "You
lio, Sir" is a very easy, but Intellectual
method of lncet.ng an opponent. Mr..
Wise alone has the honor of r-sorting to
this short hand method, There are but
| few of his Democratic brethren so desti-
tuto OF good sense as 10 c1py bis example.
We fee a little pride in the profession we
have chosen and as member of the Press
we object to putting the language of n
| political paper on level with tie Ian
guage of rJwd:es in the street.
In conclusion we assure Bro. Wise that
we shall not make ourself miserable over
his SINS, bu' unless we greatly misapprs-
bend the public feeling, he must adopt q
different siy.e before be can win.

They SAY."-There is decision in
the last volume of Gray's Reports, which
is at once sound morals and good law. A
woman, sued for Islander, defended on
the ground that she only repeated, and
without malice, what was currently re-
ported. The Court held that to repeat a
story, which is false and slanderous, no
matter how widely it may have been cir
culated,-is at the peril of the tale bearer.
Slander cannot always be traced 10 its
origin. Its power Of mischief is derived
from repetition, even if a disbelief of the
story accompanies its relation. Indeed,
this half doubtful way ofimparting SLAM
der, is often the surest method resorted to
by the slanderer to give currency to the
tale.

While the reckless Democratic iourn-
ais of the North are striving to make po-
litical capital OFT Of the abortivs effort of
John Brown, at Harper's Ferry, many
of the Southern journals take a manly
and correct Wow of the affair. The Bal
tinore American says:
"But it is perfectly idle, to say the
least, to turn such an event into political
capital. No party would dream of en-
dorsing these or similar atrocities and it
is poor and unworthy class of tactics
that would seek to fasteu the responsible
ty anywhere else than upon the misguid-
ed actors themselves. Whatever may be
the tendency of their avowed principles,
no organization, worthy of the name, has
over counsellsd viol.nt resistance to the
law in the slave territory. There are
few demented persons scattered over the
Northern States-so few that we might
almost enumerate them -Gorrit Smith.
Fred. Douglas, Mellen, if be is still alive,
and two or three more. But there is no
party Of respectable dimensions that has
plank in its platform upon which the
late mad foray could be justified"
The It. Louis Evening News SAYS:
"The Republican party of the country
numbers a million and half voters-a
majority of the citizens of all the free
States. What is to be gained BY de-
nouncing them as siders and abettors in
the proposed crimes of instruction. ar
son and murder? Would it not be un-
just offensive and highly injurious to the
good feeling and concord of the ma
ton?
There are fanatics in thu North who
would willingly esterminate slavery by
war and rapine. Which is the worse
crime in the sight of God ana man. We
see no difference-and hope to see all
such fanatics themselves exterminated.
The loss of Brown and his party has thin
ned out the abolition fanatics at the
North. let as not raise up other ta.aa-
tics there by indecent abuse of innocent
men, and endeavor to make them respoa-
sible for old Browns crimes"

a fine lesson is conveyed to the mind-to
take no note of time but by its benefits,
to watch only for the smiles and neglect
the frowns of fate, to compose our lives of
bright end gentle moments, turning al
ways to tie sunny side of things and let
ting the rsst slip from our irnaginstions,
unheeded or forgotten. How different
