The Appeal. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn. ;) 1889-19??, 1905-02-18

One of the expedients of party to
acquire influence, within particular
districts, is to misrepresent the opln-
ions and aims of other districts. You
cannot shield yourselves too much
against the jealousies and heartburn
ings which spring from these mlsrep-
reservations: they tend to render
alien to each other those who ought
to be bound together by fraternal al
lection.
To the efficacy and permanency OF
your union a government LOT the
whole is Indispensable.
ALL Instructions to the execution of
the laws, all com binations and asso-
Citations, under whatever plausible
character, with the real design to d.
rect, control, counterfeit or awe the
regular deliberations and action of
the constituted authorities, are de-
structive of the fundamental principle,
and of fatal tendency.
Towards the preservation of your
government, and the permanency OF
your present happy state, it is requi-
site not only that you steadily dis
countenance irregular oppositions to
it's acknowledged authority, but also
that you resist with care the spirit
of innovation upon its principles, how
ever specious the pretexts.
It is substantially true that virtue
or morality is a necessary spring OF
popular government.

When first I saw sweet Peggy,
Twas on a market day;
A low-ba cked car she drove, and sat
Upon truss of hay;
But when that hay was blooming grass
No flower was there that could compare
With the blooming girl I sing.
AS she sat in the low-backed car,
The man at the turnpike bar
Never asked for the toll,
But just rubbed his ould poll
And looked after the low-backed car.
In battles wild commotion,
The proud and mighty Mars,
With hostile, scythes demands his tithes
OF death in warlike cars;
While Peggy, peaceful goddess,
= Has darts in her bright eye
That knock men down in the market
town,
AS right and left they fly;
While she sits in her low cked car,
Than battle more dangerous far
For the doctors art \
Cannot cure the heart
That is hit from that low-backed car.

solutely apocrhypal source. Washing

Henry Cabot Lodge knew not whence
they came.

Henry Cabot Lodge, has the following
to say: 1T was reserved for the

Extracts from Farewell
Address of Washington
>-,e.sh.>~.~.,n>,-,s-e}tr~~s-vt~~


Promote, as an object of primary
Importance, institutions for the gen.
eral diffusion of knowledge. In pro-
portion as the structure of a. govern
ment gives force to public opinion, it
is essential that public opinion should
be enlightened.
AS very important source OF
strength and security, cherish public
credit
Observe good faith and justice to-
wards all nations; cultivate peace and
harmony with all.
A passionate attachment of one ma
ton for another produces variety of
evils
The great rule of conduct for us,
in regard to foreign nations is, in ex-
tending our commercial relations, to
have with them as little political con-
nection as possible.
It is our true policy to steer clear
of permanent alliances with any por-
ton of the foreign world.
Taking care always to keep our.
selves, by suitable establishments, on
a respectable defensive posture, we
may safely trust to temporary alli-
ances for extraordinary emergencies.
Harmony and liberal intercourse
with all nations are recommended by
policy, humanity and interest.
There can be no greater error than
to expect or calculate upon real favors
! from nation to nation. It is an illu-
sion which experience must cure,
which just pride ought to discard.

There is no qualification in the
praise great men have given Wash
ington. Those who have spoken or
written of him at all have done $50 in
terms of absolute eulogy. Gladstone,
for instance, said of him: 81 have
almost idolized him for sixty years"
Later he wrote: Washington is to
my mind the purest figure in history.
I look upon Washington among great
and good men as one peculiarly good
and geat. He has been to me for
more than forty years a light upon
the path of life" It was Lord Erskine
who said: Il have large acquaint-

only human being for whom I ever
felt an awful reverence. sincerely

London. There, in 1928, he married
Letit1a Maria Anna Stage, sister Of
Rev. Theedosius Stage, famous min
lister in the early days Of Virginia, and
who was at that very time rector of a
church in st. Georges parish, a few
miles from Fredericksburg.
On first coming to Virginia Rev.
James Marye became the minister OF
a settlement of Huguenots at Mana
can, or Manakinton, in Goochland
(now Powhatan county,, on the James
river, above Richmond, and so excel
lent was his reputation that the good
people Of Fredericksburg desired him
for rector. Accordingly, in 1885, as
shown by the early vestry book, the
church wardens asked leave of Gov
Gooch, as was the colonial custom, to
call Rev. James Marye to their pull
pit. This request was granted; and
in October of the same year he as
sumed charge of St. Georges parish,
the principal church of which was in
Fredericksburg, succeeding Rev. Pat
rick Henry, uncle of the famous ora
tor of that name. Thus began the long
and eventful pastorate of the Marye
family over this historic church, the
first Rev. James Marye serving for
thlrty-four years, and being followed
by his son, Rev. James Marye, Jr.,
who ministered until his death, in
1850. AS was the custom of clergy

James Marye conducted an academy

books studied by young James Marye
when attending the Jesuit college of
that city. This proves conclusively
that it was he who translated these
rules to his pupils in Fredericksburg,
since he was the only man there who
understood the French tongue, his ma
tive speech. The variations in the
manuscript left by Washington are ex-
actly such as young boy would make
in following the eral instruction Of his
teacher.
With these revelations it would
seem that the dispute of historians
and biographers over the history of
these famous rules has at length
been settled.

Than a coach and four, and gold galore.
And lady for my bride:
For the lady would sit forninst me.
On a cushion made with taste.
While Peggy would sit beside me.

While we drove in the backed car.

At her glance and her sigh
Though it beat in a low-backed car!

small fortune. An ename.ed gold tele-
scope, once in the possession of the
great admiral, was sold recently for

"The True George Washington" page
C3, gives the following interesting &C.
count: ION the death of his father,
Washington went to live with his
brother Augustine. IN order, it is pre-
sumed, that he might take advantage
of a good school near Wakefield, kept
by one Williams, but after a time
he returned to his mother and attend
ed the school kept by Rev. James
Marye, in Fredericksburg. It has
been universally asserted by his BIZ

trary exists in copy of Patricks

in 1742, the Hyleaf of which bears
in a schoolboy hand the inscription:

ut is thus evident that the rever-

the first elements of Latin, but it is
equally clear that the boy, like most
others, forgot it with the greatest ia
cility as soon as he ceased studying"
