A WRITER in an eastern paper thus
defines the leading faith Of the people of
Pennsylvania. Plg-iron is hard thing
to believe in, but there are people who
appear to believe in nothing elHe.
Know then, o friend Springwheat, that
the base, nay the foundation of all our
trouble is pig-iron. Pig iron is a political
party everywhere in the country, and in
Pennsylvania it il a religion. Indeed l
might 90 from one end of that great State
to the other and lecture every night
against religion and meet no serious inter
ference. The worst that could happen
would be to have no audience. But If 1
tried to lecture against pigiron, would l
not be mobbed IN Philadelphia, tarred
and feathered in Lancaster, and torn to
pieces limb by limb in Pittsburgh ?
The worst of it Is, that the simple
honest faith of the people in the virtues
of Pig-iren, is made use of by designing
men for the purpose of enabling them to
play all manner of antics, and to pick up
other and more precious metals at every
flip-fap they throw.

CORRECTION One by one the famous say
ings of great men, which have passed into his
tory aud become Traditional phrases, are being
absolutely swept out Of existence by the his
torical iconoclast The last one to suffer this
cruel fate is the famous millions for defence,
but not cent for tribute. !" When. nearly
eighty years ago, Gen. Pinkney, then Minister
TO France, was approached by the predecessor
of the Due de Broglie, and was intormed that
the payment Of a certain sum might settle
the diplomatic dispute between the. two coun-
tries, history says that Gen. Piukney iudig-
nauly replied millions for defence, but not
a cent for tribute" Aud now comes respon-
sible citizen OF Charleston, 5. c., and shows by
iudisputable authority that, at meeting OF
the Cossack Club of which Gen. Pinckney was
member, the latter was, asked directly by
another member whether he ever made such
remark, to which he replied mo, gentle
men, my answer was not flourish like that,
but simply, Not penny, not peony:., La
losing the original and rather grandlcquent
phrase, however, we gain one much more sim
pie and forcible.
