dered to their race upon the field of

Whether HOnee Greeley in his
juvenile days ever riyaled the
Father Of Ills Country in owning
a ;" little hatchet," !" and in hacking
his fathers trees, and then being so
truthful in confessing it, we are not
posted enough in his youthful his
tory to know. Late developments
would lead us to inter that no such
episode ever occurred in his history.
Knowing the value of q reputation
for honesty and truthfalness, and
associating with these ideas the
story Of Washington and his little
hatchet, the youthful philosopher Of
over three-score summers, hied
himself away to the forest glades OF,
Chappaqua, and with lis bran-new

Republican Ticket for is79
FOR PREsIDENT,


It angers what used to be Demo-
cratic editors, now" Chappaquack y
i quill drivers, most intensely when-
ever minister Of the gospel hap
pens to say Or do anything fayoring
the political party to which an
J overwhelming majority Of them, in
the North, at least, belong, viz;
the Republican party. They seem
to think that a minister has no
rights or privileges outside of the
duties Of the pulpit, which any
body, especially a Democratic
"Chappaquack," IS bound to re.
spect. He may own property, and
raise a family of children, and live
in society, but he must not dare to
take any interest in the questions
and politics, which determine the
law-making, and executive interests
of the country. Not he. No mat
ter how much corruption may dis
grace the practical operations of
politics; no matter how much it
may be estranging the brightest and
most promising youth Of the coun-
try away from the path Of right
and virtue; no matter how the ele-
ments OF good government, the
making and enforcing of just and
wholesome laws, may be growing
weaker and weaker every day, the
moral restraints and projections Of
society may be becoming less and
less binding, he must not open his
mouth. If he does, these Demo-
cratic " Chappaquacks" will pro-
nounce him unfit to follow in the
footsteps Of the Savior Of men.
Now while we do not believe the
minister Of the gospel is authorized
to make politics a speciality in the
pulpit, or out of it, we do believe
it to be not only his right, but duty,
to point out the sins which are
leading the people astray, and if in
doing this he must touch upon the
evils and sins growing out of politi-
|. cal principles and practices, it is
legitimate, and no one has q right
to gainsay it. Again, a minister
has as good a right to his political
views as any other man, to think
them, advocate them in conyersa-
ton like other men, and vote them
like other citizens, if he chooses IN
his citizen capacity to do so ); and it
does not become q Democratic
@Chappaquack" to abuse him for
it. We refer to this subject be-
cause we notice in the Salem Mer-
cary, of last week, a very mean
and contemplate structure on the
name and character of the Rev. J.
T. De Wore, a Presiding Elder Of
tie NJ. Z. Church in Oregon, be-
cause he saw proper, while at the
Philadelphia Republican Conven-
ton, TO announce to that body the
result Of the late State election in
Oregon. The announcement was
a source of cheer to the Convention,
and the Rev. Mr.. De Wore had as
good a right to make the announce
ment as any other man. The re-
marks of the Mercury in regard to
the Rev. gentleman for this Offend
ing, are certainly of the /" dog in
the manger spirit" and any thing
but cnditable to that eheet.

The King ana the Soldier.

Frederick the Great of Prussia had
a great mania for enlisting gigantic
soldiers into the Royal Guards, and
paid an enormous bounty to his re-
cruiting officers for getting them. One
day the recruiting sergeant chanced to
espy a Hibernian who was az least
seven feet high he accosted him in
English, and proposed that he should
enlist. The idea of military life and
a large bounty so delighted Patrick
that he Immediately consented. "But
unless you can speak German the King
will not give you so much"
"Oh," said the Irishman, "sure it's
l that don't know a word of German.
But" said the sergeant, "three
words will be enough, and those you
can learn in a short time. The King
knows every man in the Guards. AS
soon he sees you he will ride up and
ask you how old you are? you will
say, 'Twenty-seven; next how long
have you been in the service? you
must reply, Three weeks finally, if
you are provided with clothes and ra-
tions? you answer, Both"
Pat soon learned to pronounce his
anewers, but never dreamt Of learning
questions. In three weeks he appeared
before the King in review. His Majes-
ty rode up to him. Paddy stepped for
ward with present arms"
"How old are you % said the King.
"Three weeks" said the Irishman.
GLOW long have you been in the SER
vice" asked his Majesty.
"Twenty-seyen years"
cam ! or you a foolH' roared the
King.
"Both," replied Patrick, who was
instantly taken to the guard room, but
pardoned by the King after he under
stood the facts Of the case.
