ACCUSATIONS AGAINST THE Gov
ERNMENT.

The world has never yet behe!l perfect hu-
man government. The weaknesses and the
vices, as well as the virtues, which constitute
the characters of individual men, necessarily
affect 10 greater or less degree, all systems
which human sagacity can originate. In the
organization of Republic, vast number of
agents must be employed to carry out the de-
tails of the government All these must be
endured with more or less power They are
not controlled by an arbitrary and omnipotent
head; there is no armed force to compel them
TO do heir duty. Deriving their power from
the people, their actions are chiefly controlled
by public opinion. If they are by character
and education, pure and honest, and act up
rightly, their actions are approved; if corrupt
and dishonest, their severest punishment is the
indignation Of the public.
In vast system, employing such multi
tude of agents as our government has grown TO
be, il is impossible that all should be upright
and honest. The seldshness of human nature
IS, III some instances, more potent than the
love of recttude. 1t is not the fault of the sys-
TEN of government, that men are dishonest, nor
is it Justly attributable to those who are placed
10 the chief positions of power, that bad men
sometimes get into positions Of public response
bilty. The character Of men cannot always be
correctly judged, until temptation is placed in
their way. Through pride, angels have fallen,
and men are lower than the angels. 1t IS idle
to look for perfection IN anything.
AT the present time, the opposition press all
over the country, is filled with insinuations and
direct charges of official dishonor against the
President ofthe United States and his immedi-
ate advisers Of the Cabinet. The obec. is ap-
parent. A Presidential canvass is at hand, and
ambitious politicians totally disregarding all
principles of honor or ofjustice, are gathering
materials for the campaign. Instead of ma
king their own purity apparent, they are en-
deavoring by partial, unfair means TO blacken
the reputation of Others. Statements filed
with errors and insinuations, are spread broad
cast over the land to operate upon public sen
timent.
Knowing that the President is the head Of
the Democratic party, his opponents are pecu-

for the Navy. This appointment was made
upon the strongest recommendations, and upon
terms sanctioned by the previous practice ol
the department and the existing law. No
has charged that the commissions allowed were
too high. But the agent employed sub-agents,
and divided the commissions. This did not az
feet The governments. The service was per-
formed and the proper legal compensation paid.
The charge that The President had any thing
to do with the live oak timber contract, is
| equally absurd with t he rest, and extravaganiy
false. So with regard to other contracts. All
papers concerning them have been invariably
| referred to the departments where they
belonged, and disposed Of according to law.
Every attempt to charge even the sembance
of corruption, Or olicia interference with
department business, uron Mr. Buchanan, has
slgnally failed. Yet the howIers of the c2pos-
ton still keep up the cry Of corruption, cofrnp-
ton. 1t will not serve them. Oppro5rious
epilhets cannot sulIy position Of purity. In
working the great machine Of government, if
the President has found here and there bad
wheel, it is not his fault. Mainly, his official
appointments, have been ofthe true metal, and
approved by the country. There is respect
due 70 his position as the head of the govern
ment the WISE measures which he has propo-
sed are entitled TO The favor and support OF the
great National party Of which he is the chief
leader, and above all the people, even they
who differ with him in political opinion, will
give him credit for answering honesty of puf-
pose and sincere desire TO build up aad protect
The great interest Of his country.
The Oft repeated charges Of the opposition
will defeat the end they aim al, for any canse
admits It's weakness when it seeks sustaining
arguments outside Of truth.
The whole personal history Of Mr.. Buchan-
IN and those men, mature in years aud in Wis
lon, who compose his cabinet, has been one Of
great moral purity and most unlmpeachablc
lonesty. The opposition have misiudged the
people ifthey think they can misead them by
charges Of corruption glo1naIessly made against
such n.-Putsb4rg Post.

The GIRLs OF l776.-The following, 1t IS
said, has been rescued from newspaper publish
ed al the time of the Revolution
"The following droll affair lately happened
at Kinderhook, New York. A young fellow,
au enemy to the liberties of America, going TO
quilting frolic, where number OF young wo-
men were collected, and the only man IN COM
pany, began his aspersions on Congress, as usu-
al, and held forth some time on the subject, TIL
the girls exasperated at his impotence, laid
hold OF him, stripped him naked-to the waist,
and. instead OF tar, covered him with molasses,
and for feathers took the downy tops of flags
which grew in the meadow, and coated him
well, and then let him 60. He has prosecuted
every one OF them, and the matter has been
tried before Justice Shoemaker. We have not
as yet heard bis worship's judgment. 1t is said

STRANGE LEGEND.

In note to passage in Scott's beautiful bat
neglected poem of ''Rokeby," the well known
legend Of Darrell of Littlecote is given, ard
there sadted a similar one, which was current
at EdInbaFg during the childhood OF Sir Wal

pray WAh person al the point of death. He
obeyed, as IN duty bound, the requisition, and
was put N sedan chair, and removed TO dis
tan part Of the city, where his bearers, under
pam OF death forced him to have his eyes ban
daged. He was then carried to and fro for
some time, ana led up several flights Of stairs.
When his eyes were uncovered, he found him
self beside lady newly delivered Of an infant.
He was ordered TO say such prayers as might
be fitting for person just about to die He
ventured to MISUNDERSTANDING that the
lady APPEARANCE warranted hopes Of recovery.
lie was strrnly ordered to proceed, which he
did. He was then hurried down stairs in the
char, biindfoided as before; but as he was de-
scendlng, heard the report of pistol Upon
reachlnshis home purse Of gold was forced

or even alluslon to this dark business would /

the aamFs were at their height, beautiful fe-

PAFING FOR HIS PROEENDER BY

We have no intention, says the Cleveland
Plaiadealer, of making fun of serious matters
N telling the following story-we merely re-
! late fact
There is rule at Oberlin College that no
student shall board at any house where prayers
are not regularly made each day. A certain
man fitted up boarding house but forgot, until
the eleventh hour, the prayer pFoviso, Not
being Praying man himself, he looked around
for one who was. At length be found one
a meek young man from Trumball county, VIII,
agreed TO pay for his boarding in praying For
while all went smoot hiy, out The beading
master furnished his table so poorly that The
boardeFs began TO grum5l5 and to Ieave,
and the other morning the PRAYING boar

the following dialogue occurred at the table
LandIorl-Wlll you pray, NJ Mid
Alid-No sir, / viii not
Landlord-Why not, Mr. Mild!

such victuals as these And unless you bind
