THE RIGHT NOTE SOUNDED.

EDS. RECORD UNION The forcible truth
and sound reasoning contained in the edi.
| torial of Mondays issue of the RECORD
UNION, upon social toadyism, is apparent to
every thoughtful, intelligent reader. No re-
form could be more needed, nor more con-
duce to the health of the bodies polite and
social for the evil st which it strikes is
far.reaching, and has long been sapping the
| foundations of true domestic institutions,
which are the acknowledged abutments on
which must be erected the structures calcu.
lated to be the strength and glory of our
country. Less real harm is done the COM
monwealth by the published descriptions of
the dresses and affairs of the Astors and the
Vsnderbilts than by the sams nonsense
practiced in regard to its lesser members cal
culated to stimulate the destructive spirits of
envy and competition where they are contin-
uslly INDUCED, to the detriment of home COM
fort and the highest domestic welfare. Let US
hope that the precedent of independence so
wisely established by our home daily may be
speedily recognized and followed by so great
a majority of the American press that shod-
dyism will soon find itself without that lofty
rampant from which to fly its demoralizing
banDers. READER.

wrote TO San Francisco to see If the Society
would take care of it. This mother is GER
