From a recent letter to the Cincinnati
CoD1n1eTccat 1dgerttssr we extract tie fol-
lowing:
Clarksville weekly chronicle. (Clarksville, Tenn.) 1873-1890, 1879-10-18

Everybody says that everybody
should be honest but everybody is
not honest either abroad or at home.
That we should be honest in our
trade, weights and measures, deal
ing with our neighbOrs and with
strangers, is also clearly right. That
a strong principle of integrity should
govern us-is Just what every man
not only admits but believes and
contends for. There is no such thing
as being too honest. Honesty is a
virtue better than gold, richer than
rubies, more p.eciOus than gems
and costly trappings. 1t is a much
richer adOrnmert for manhood or
wOmanhOOd than wealth can pur-
chase or place secure. To be honest
is to be like a child and like an an
gel and Christ said, of such as lit
tie children is the kingdom of HeaV-
en-. But we wish to write word
strong word-in behalf of honesty.
There are many people who are
honest away from home. They
make home promises only to break
them. As husbands they make a
thousand and one promises to their
wives, and hint a thousand good
things and raise many pleasant eX-
pectations, they never seem to think
of again. As wives, they practise
a thousand little deceits, equivOcate
many times, when straightforward
honesty was just the thing required.
AS parents, they conceal, go around
the truth, deceive, and often act
ually falsify to their children, when
the truth is always better-always
the best. The children see their
parents double-dealings, see their
want of integrity, and learn to
cheat, deceive, and equivocate. The
child is too often a chip off the old
block.

The Nashville Weekly American,

The next Presidential election
will determine questions of vital i'm
pOrtance to every citizen Of the
Union. Upon its results will de-
pend the perpetuity of our republic
can form of government. All these
questions will be thoroughly dis
cussed in the next session of Con-
gress, which begins on the 1st day
of December. 1t is our desire and
our purpose, so far as we can con-
tribute to that end, that every citi-
zen shall be fully informed Vppn all
theSequestiOns of such vast moment.
Is our national government to be
henceforth an imperial despOtism ?
Is the bayOnet to rule the ballot ?
Are the rights of the States, express
Iy reserved in the Constitution, to
yield to centralized dictatiOn? Shall
arrogant and imperious party lead
ers, under the cry of Liberty, rob
the citizen Of liberty? Shall Mann
mon be the only deity who shall be
acknowledged as having divine
rights? Shall labor be deprived of
its just reward ? In order to bring
it within the means of every man,
mechanic, farmer and laborer, in
all vacations, even in these hard
times, to inform himself what polit-
zeal parties are proposing, we have
reduced the terms of the Weekly
American to One Dollar q year: for
six months. 10 cents; three months,
10 cents. The real value of the pa
per will not be decreased with re-
duction of prices but will be vastly
increased In proportion to price.
