Let us take up some NewEngland politician,
Of this day:

Morrill, is more Of 4 hard-pnn Yankes than

Edmunds looks like man who had been
catpet-bagged in his cradle from New York to
Vermont, and imposed upon the unsophisto-

they can scarcely afford, now that sfavety
il an extinct interest, to throw thomsalves, bv
grasping and nnti-Republican tariff faction.
Edmunds isI however, 3 man Of pleasinS poll
tcian's physioguomy, but wo put no trust in
Princes!
It was Justin s. Mouill-whom you must not
do the injury to confound with Danneu J.
Mo1rell, the FennBylvania manufacturer, who
| voted money to himself so ahamelessly the
other day,-who pnt himself forward last Mon
day as the exhaustive and conclusive harmoni-
ger Of mankind upon the tariff question.
| THE SUCCESSFUL MERCHANT,
Morrill, is d big-limbed, big-boned, sef-B1tis-
little shop, BONE esay q peddlers movable shop,
in early life. md having accumulated aou1o
money, get himself up for proper person to
e1pound the science Of wealth. You have
probably met many such men, whose riches
are to them sou1ce Of profound example and
in business virtues by infesenGal illusions to
their own success. They become the patrons
OF young clerks and give advice to small mar
ned couples. They pray every night for
the whole neighboThood, and that it may
affss o EP hsss as sass
before them. They always keep copy OF Ar
thurs :. Successful Merchant " on their draw
ing-room table, and, II they address :he prayer
meeting ut tho village church the Clergyman
locks up at them with countenanca Where
piety md worldly admiration are beautiful to
be seen.
This kind Of email bank-account god be-
came Justin s. Morrill,, and he was q great,
benevolent Pumblechook to evegy modest Pip
in Vermont. The account of his life Published
in the Congressional Directory says that
ssabout tho year 1s48 ho turned his attention
to agricultural pursuits"
This means that Justin bought 3 Email farm
and began TO patIonize agriculture also Had
he also studied law he would hsve been the
most insufferable Of created beings

Quiet, dspassiuua.e, and cold"
There WAS ono other thing required to make
that was tl.at be should be Wing, 4 Wing

people and expected to have disciples. That
Was the reason they never elected Eny Pyeai-
dents; fol. they we're all voting for them-
selves, and the people got tired Of being
old Wing who had become " Successful mer-
chant" Justin Morrill,, however, was able to
get to Congress from his little consGtuency
several times, but he made no particular mark
till tho war, when he was able, in 1854, to get
at the head Of the Ways and Means Commit
whole habcrdaahe1y OF The Morrill, Tariff down
the throat OF the struggling nation.

Still an old-line Wing, still pstronixing hia
this village oracle, like the Pied Piper, play
ing the tune Of himself, led tho people, rather
than they him, to the Sennte, in the year 1866.
And nov he is turning Us into the village Of
Straf1ord, and descAnting in his drawling nasal
way upon the great truths which he learned
in practical LIE. Hear the successful mer-
chant:

The merits Of Morrill, sapeeCh are straight l
forward, concise dichon, aud none Of the lofty, |
airs which Kelley hour1shes
orer his drawGng oratory: Both Of them were
verdant, crude, and vain people, I
one Of whom kept shop in a one-horsa coun- |
