ECh0-Men.

There is, no greater bore than q
human echo, that repeats, assentingly y,
whatever one suggests or asserts.
It is a nuisanceto be always coin
cided with. A man Of sense likes to
argue his points and prove his posi-
tions. The whet-stone of opposition
sharpens his wits; but if met with a
continual affirmative eriteration of his
own words, his game is. blocked, and
he IS, $50 to speak, dumbfounded.
On the contrary, a sententious ono,
I don't think SC" puts a man on his
mettle. If fNrong, he has a chance of
being set right. If right, Of enjoying
an honest triumph. To be in com
pany with one who has no opinion but
your opinion is as bad as being Gagged
with macaw. Ifyou ask an indi-
vidual in the habit Of agreeing with
everybody the reason of his complais
ance, he may tell you, perhaps, that
he hates controversy. Hates contro-
versy? He might as well say he hates
truth, for diSputation is the crueible
in which the gold of truth is separated
from the alloy of error. How many
things were taken for granted in for
mer ages that modern argument has
shown to be mere fallacies! The
grand object of a man of mind is to
acquire knowledge; but he can learn
from those who are always
ready 70 pin their faith onIhis sleeve,
taking the trouble to think
for themselves.

Innocence and SalntIiness.

Our early innocence is nothing more than
ignorance Of evil. Christian life is not a
retaining Of that ignorance Of evil; nor even
returning oft again. We lose our mere
negative sinlessness. We put on 3 firm,
manly holiness. Human innocence is not to
know evil il,-Chistian saintliness is 10 know
evil and good, and prefer good. Il is possi-
bic for parent, with overfastidious refine
ment, to prolong the duration of this inno-
oence. uunaturally. he may lock up bis

portion of its pages; but he has only put OF

He has sent into thu World i young man
Of eighteen or twenty, ignorant Of evil as

past ignorance, neithor is it desirable we

which is impossible. And it is no'nore to
be regretted than the blossom is to be regrett-

WASHINGTON, June 6, 1854.
Regularly every week I welcome to my
paper table the SENTINEL. But YOU ask,
what is the news?
sNeWs, " we have plenty of news here.
There is never any lack. A coun,ry's
capital is its focus for news, and especial

published here. Look at the list: Star,
Constitutional Union, Republican, Chron-

west? We ought to be posted, certainly.
- GOVERNOR 'ooRwIN.
Ere this you have heard of the arrival
in this country of Hon. Thomas COrwin,
our Minister to Mexico. You would be
surprised if you were to see him. Seven
ty-one years Old,and yet as robust, almost,
as ever. He left his son, William 'IH.
CorWin, Esq, in Mexico, to superintend
business. Report has it that Mr. Corwin
will not return to Mexico. The admins
tration will find it difficult to fill the place /
with so good a man as Mr.. COrwin. The
old statesman has been much misrepre-
sented by certain parties in this country.
1t has been stated that he favors the
usurpation'of Mazimillian. Nothing could
be further from the truth. Mr.. Corwin
loves democratic government as much as
ever, and is as much in favor as ever of
the Monroe doctrine. But having, seen
the turbulence in that distracted country,
he has expressed himself to the effect that
a stable government, one able to restore
order, would much benefit the Mexicans. |

MRS. LINCOLN.

It is understood that Mrs. Lincoln is
tickled almost to death at the prospects Of
her husbands denomination. After liv-
ing in such splendor for four years, she
could not stand it to go back to Spring
field. She says "Abe" is such an easy
I'D fellow that he would be willing to
settle down in an old house again, and
live on common food, and wear common
clothes. This she could not endure.

GENERAL FREMONT.

On last Saturday, Gen. Fremont tend
cred his resignation as Major-Genera
in the regular army, and wise ones say
that in few days he will, by letter, ac.
cept the nomination rendered him at CIeye
land. General Fremont's popularity has
not materially increased of late, as you
must know, aud especially among sound
honest men. He was a good western ex-
plorer, aud is true to radical free princi-
pes. Nothing more can be said of him
AS a general he was a failure. Now, if
he permits his name to divide the Union
party in this campaign, be will sink him
self in the estimation of every true man.
One good effect Of his nomination-there
W llprO6ably,'belno more, is the tender and
acceptance of the resignation of his militia,
ry commission. Let us hope that some
other generals will follow suit. VIII
