Wanted, A Situation for Elk
Presidents.

E
Not the least remarkable of the chang
es IN the details of our system of govern
ment that have been suggested within
the past few years, is proposition OF a
New Orleans paper that the Presidents,
upon the expirations of their terms, shall
become Senators of the United States fol-
life. It does not like to see our Chief
Magistrates passing in one hour from the
White House to obscurity, and says; By
all means, the man who has once won the
supreme honors of a nation ought to be
allowed some shreds of the mantle to car
~ with him into private life, and we, fo1
one journal, would rejoice TO see an
amendment to the Constitution adopted
by which our ex-Presidents would &c
entitled to seats IN the United States Ben
ate, as Senators at large" $50
We apprehend that such an amendment
would not be very respectfully treated by
the people; perhaps the converse of this
proposition, namely, that Presidents shall
first be Senators, would secure more Sc
rious consideration. The idea of having
Legislators holding Office tor life, and out
of the reach of the people, sayors rather
too strongly of arlstocracy; and as they
might become so numerous as to hold the
balance OF power in the Senate, the prac-
teal results of such system might be
found to be infinitely mischievous. Again
the surviving ex-Presidents within the
last ten years, at least, have not been men
whom the people would especially wish
TO have in the Senate. Neither Martin
Van Buren,, John Tyler, Millard Fillmore
Franklin Pierce nor James Buchanan
would have been very useful or desirable
accessions TO that body
The truth seems to be that while man
of mediocre ability may make a respect
able President it requires man of high
character to make a good ex-President.
There have been few, if any, who, like
John Quincy Adams, could add to their
reputation by active service in the politi-
cal arena subsequent to the occupancy of
the Presidential office. A dignifed re-
tirement seems to be the more graceful
course, but for that a competence is nee
essary. 1t is. a disgrace to the country
that James Monroe, after serving two
terms as Chief Magistrate with great dis
tinction, should be obliged to support
himself during the closing years of his
life by serving as Justice of the Peace
Our government has adopted the English
system fpensioning off retired officers in
the case of Justice of the Supreme Court
and it may be found desirable to extend
it to Observation-Disclosures Sentinel

The Kissing Business Minis
terial Indulgence.

At the trial of the Rev S. 2. Lynn, at
Pittsburg, few days since, for /" Minis
terial Kissing" the Rev. DR.. Mckinney
said on the matter of kissing: 81 know
very we'll what the views of young ladies
are. I at least know what they were forty
or fifty years ago. Some of them strug-
gle very hard against being kissed, Some
Of them, iii fact, make a deal of strug
Cling. At least they used to in my time.
Then again, others Of them are kissed,
and don't make any complaint" 8
We suppose, according to the opinion
Of the venerable Doctor of Divinity,
those of them that are kissed and don't
make any complaint" do not make any
trouble about it among the clergy If
we understand this case of the Rev Mr.
Lynn, he was waited upon and called to
account for kissing two young ladies
while pastor of Westminster Church,
Cleveland. When the properly appointed
committee waited upon him and asked
him what he had to say in regard to the
matter of kissing two young ladies, he
replied he had only one thing to say,
that he kissed one of the young ladies
because she dared him to and the other
because she wished him to- This was
frank and candid; and as Jacob kissed Ra-
chel because he wished to, the matter
might have been dropped. But probably
some of the members of the church who
were no longer in the dew of youth felt
as some of the older brothers and sisters
Of religious society did, one OF whose
peculiarities was to greet each other with
. kiss at theirnleetings.. Among tIan
were young man and very pretty girl,
Whose lips" probably, as the poet
nath it, "were like dish of strawberries
half smothered in cream; " and when
they met they of course, saluted each
other with the regeneration kiss.
. After some weeks, at one of the usual
meetings, staid and venerable brother
said: "That while they regarded kis-
sing as very proper, it had been OBJ
served by HIM, as we'll as by some
of the venerable and unmarried sisters
present, that the young brother and sister
when they met were in the habit of kissing
with rather too much of an appetite and
they thought that with such young PEG.
pie, who were not always considerate of
the feelings of the maiden sisters, that
hereafter the accustomed salutation might
cause unpleasant feelings IN. the society.
