Political Courage.
Intellectual force Is eminently desirable
in the statesman, whether in a legislative or
executive position. Bat there are other
qualities that are even more necessary to
secure public respect and confidence. An in
flexible devotion to the right, and the courage
to assert and maintain the honest convictions
of the mlud in reference to great questions of
state, are surer guatantees of general and
lasting esteem, than tbe most profound learn
ing and mental ability, either timidly or
falsely applied.
The oracular wisdom of Bacon himself
could not redeem his meanness and dishonesty
from contempt. Jackson carried away the
popular heart from ail ot his Intellectual
rivals, because he was known to be both
fiank and firm, while they were always sus
pected of a lawyer-like inclinat'on to "make
the worse appear the better reason." The
moral daring of Clay, who ones, on a memo
rable occasion in the Senate of the republic,
said that he would rather be right than be
President, won him more enthusiastic friends
than even his most sagacious measures or
splendid eloquence. Daniel WsBSTsahad
the grandest intellect that ever shad its light
upon our national councils; but he was
always distrusted, because of a prevailing im
pressionsubsequently shown to be erro
neousthat he lacked the necessary nerve to
lead a pariy and take tbe responsibility In
any critical polit cal emergency.
Courage in a representative is, In short, the
virtue most valued by a hih-spirited people,
as it is also the one that often proves practi
cally most useful to them iu the trying crises
which occasionally arise in the course of
public affairs. We have Been some of toe
most brilliant men in the country discarded
from the national councils, simply, or chiefly,
on account of their exhibition ot a want of
" backbone," and others, on the other hand,
elevated to high positions of honor and influ
ence, who, though deficient in mind and learn
ing, could be rel ed upon to sustain the right
In every exigency, without fear of personal
consequences. How often have constituen
cies been betrayed by able but timorous
representatives I How frequently have vi
cious measuros been inflicted upon the
country, which might have been defeated
by the manly action of those who quietly
looked on while the wrong was being
committed I Who does not remember how
repeatedly, for a considerable time before
the Rebellion broke out, the people of the
free States were humiliated by the time
serving cowardice of t ome of those who were
sent to represent them in Congress ? It is
possible, even at this late date, to recall the
names of some Norther a talkers who were
scared out of all the sense they ever possessed
bj the loud-mouthed threats of a few Southern
flre-eaters to dissolve the Union as if it
were true then any more than now that
this great Confederacy exists at the mere
mercy of a score or so of noisy demagogues,
Instead of drawing its strength from the very
lite-blood of the people ! Of what importance
is it, therefore, to the people, that a man his
a sagacious mind and an eloquent tongue, if,
when tbe crisis of a vital issue arrives, he
can be frightened into silence, or bullied into
casting a vote against his conscience and the
well-known opinions of his constituents?
Ihese reflections have special application
to the present time. . At do period of our
national history was pure moral courage
more needed in those who are entrusted with
the administration of the Government We
say true courage, because there is a wide dif
ference between that resolution which ad
heres to an opinion deliberately formed and
conscientiously beld,and the stupid obstinacy
which will stick to any view or purpose once
adopted and avowed, even though it has been
clearly shown to be unsound or inexpedient.
We are really sorry to see the President and
Congress seriously differing on certain im
portant questions of national policy, and
Blncerely trust that all their disagree
ments may be satisfactorily composed. That
result, however, cannot reasonably bs hoped
for, If the public presj of the eojntry and the
people, violently take sides in the controversy,
and encourage the Legislative and Execu
tive branches of the Government In a mere
struggle ot contumaciousness, In which true
principles of policy and the obvious interests
of the nation are to be sacrificed to blind
jealousy and stubborn pride of opinion. The
only wise and patriotic coarse to be pursued
in such a case, is to exercise mutual re
spect and forbearance, to revise and com
pare conflicting views, and ondeavor, in a sin
cere spirit of devotion lo public wellare, to
reach conclusions upon which all may cor
dially unite. And all that this will require,
Is a manly disposition to do what is clearly
right, regardless of all inferior motives or con
siderations. The citizens of Asttfleld, Mass., are about to
erect a granite monument to the memory of the
soldiers from that town who died during the war.
One side of the monument will contain tbe names
of the fallen, and the other will contain a bailn
Into which water will be brought lor tbe benefit
of thirsty travellers.
Tnic Reason Why. "Cornelius O'Dowd".
is a model Englishman egotistical and Inso
lent, believing himself witty when he is really
only impertinent, and attempting sarcasm
when his only forte is abuse. He has for many
months been exetcislng the British mind on
tbe subject of "Men, Women, and Things in
General," through the columns of Black
wood's Magazine. The most recent piece of
bis Impertinence Is On Mexico." We quote
his remarks for the benefit of all who desire to
ce the most refreshing coolness, the most per
fect sangfroid of unmitigated insolence :
"Tbe Americans will not willingly quarrel with
France; they have the roluotance tbat a snob
has o break oil acquaintance with the only gen
tleman that has ever bowed to him. It U no
tear ot France; they neltber dread her army
ncr her navy. It Is simplv the dislike to be out
otl by tbe groat nation ot Europe. It the French
Emperor was really sincere about the establish
ment of a Mexican empire, why did he select a
cultivated, Dolls tied gen.ltima l, lond of retire
ment, deej)l verxed in literuiuie, ani a lover of
the arte f Why did ho not look out for some
bold brigand of Calabria a devout Papist, and
at unscrupulous assassin ! one who could have
brought to the country or his adoption bigotry
aud thekniie? Cu-biaxo la Gala or N in 30 f an c b,
when elevated above the petty necessities of
providing for their daily support, would have
made a famous figure amongst these Indians and
half-castes tliee 'Leperos,' and outcasts of all
civilization. That Maximilian knows nothing
of the necessities el his position Is clear enough.
Instead of talking to these pooplo abjut the
bcLetlts of education and the advantages of
enlightened government, he saould hive bribed
Juiki.b Into submission, boi.ght up all the mal
contents of the nation, made the do dehors ad
gttmekiepeis, ani, in a lew years, he would
have been at tbe head of a party utrong enough
lo bully the lest, and unscrupulous euoj$h lo
rule li e country with that amount ot decision
and brmness that iusp'res confidence at home
aud Piocuies a loan abroad. If ne wisbe to
hear more on this subject, a line addressed to
'Cornell sODowd' will met prompt attention.
The quietest secrecy observed. I engage to do
everything but go out there."
Here there is a new, and, we are as&sured
a true reason why America does not wish to
quarrel with Fiance. We do not wish "to be
cut by the great nation of Europe." We
are ''the snob, and do not wish to break off
acquaintance with a gentleman." We are
glad that even British insolence could not
say tbe same with regard to our friendship
for England. It is evident thafMr. O'Dowd,"
who is currently reported to be Charles
Lbveb, baa a deep penetration, a power of
examining national character. He does
away with that delusion so popular in all
foreign lands, that of all the contumacious,
proud, and unbearable people, (he American?
are the most so. We have a reputation for
delighting to quarrel with any Lord, and ot
putting our feet on a level with the head of
any Duke In Christendom. Hereafter, let
that slander cease. '"O'Dowd" says we culti
tlvate the acquaintance of gentlemen, and
that we are snobs. We call ' attention to the
modest conclusion of tbe extract, ' which
savors of the well-bred man of the world so
much more' than it does of the conceited fop.
which rumor represents to be the type of a
British nobleman.
Death or an Old Philadelphia Meb
chant News of the death of Samuel Comlt,
Esq , has reacLed this city. Mr. Comlt was
one of our oldest merchants, and at one time
exercised a controlling influence in mercan
tile circles. He commenced business in Phi
ladelphia in tbe early part of the present cen
tury, and by indomitable perseverance and
energy amassed a large fortune. At the
breaking out of the war of 1812 he was in
England, negotiating for the purchase ot
goods. The sudden breaking out of hostilities
between the two countries made it impossible
for him to return, and he remained in England
during the war. Upon his return to this
country he established the auction house of
Comly & Tevis, and engaged largely in tbe
shipping business. He was one of the origi
nal founders of the Philadelphia Exchange,
and for many years President of the Soutb
wark Bank. He, later in life, established a
branch house in New Orleans, which re
sulted most disastrously, and in the end, proved
ruinous. Mr. Comlt showed that he was a
merchant of entire Integrity, by passing over
his entire property lor the benefit of his credi
tors ; and such was his skill as a business man
that he was able to pay a large percentage
of his indebtedness. For the past few years
he has been engaged In business in New
York, and died in Brooklyn on Sunday last. ,
The Wobk Befobi Them. When Henbt
Wabd Beech eb advisee the captors ot
Charleston "to plough np the city and sow it
with school books," he gave them the cue to
the mighty task wh'ch is needed to secure the
regeneration ot the South. The work before
the schoolmaster is a gigantic one. He must
open the gates closed by slavery, and break
down tbe bars erected to keep in bondage
those to whom the light of education would
be the signal for claiming their rights. But
in addition to the whole moss of the freed-
men, there remain a vast crowd of those who,
though free, are yet untutored. The
damaging effect of slavery upon the ruling
class itself is best shown by the ratio of the
number who cannot read or write in the tree
and the late slaveholding States. Out of
every hundred persons over twenty years of
age we find this ratio to be, in
Maine J
New Hampshire, Connecticut, Wisconsin, and
A'lcliivan 3
Pennsylvania, New York, Illinois, lowa, Jlinuu-
tola, and Oreiroo 8
Alabama, .Arkansas, Florida, (Jeorxut, and Ken
tucky , 7
Yiryima and Tennessee 9
Monk Carolina and Dels vara 12
From this it will be seen that in the South
ern States the average number of the igno
rant varies from over twice to about four
times the number in the free States. The
task of the schoolmaster Is to make all equally
intelligent, and raise not only the standard of
the South, but also the standard of the North
ern States. Truly, to do his work he must
"plough up the soil and sow It with school-books."
W JC TrunirnNT 1 jrn that, tha tatimnnt nnh-
llshed In one of the Sunday papers tbat at the
regular meeting, of the Copperhead Club,
William B. Kked proposed the toast,
"Jeffkbson Davis, the greatest statesman
in America," is literally true. To the credit
of Mr. Jobiaxi Randall, be it said, that he
has since resigned from an organization so
openly traitorous. It is quite true that thn
people know that the serpent of treason has
only bt en wounded by the blows It has re
ceived, and that it is now reviving. Let it be
known in the canvass about to be opened,
that at an sssomblage of leading Democrats,
tl e health of the arch traitor was drunk, and
but one member of the club hid the loyalty
and the daring to break loose from his con
nection with such associates. We say, lot
this fact be remembered when the Gubernato
rial contest comes off in October next. It
stands upon the record, and no loyal resolu
tions or boasted Union doctrines will wipe
it out
A New English Aoorbssion. Tho literary
fraternity of the United States have long been
cognizant of the total inefficiency and insuffi
ciency of our native expressed literature to
supply the wants of the people. This is not the
result of a want of writers or persons of talent
who desire to write, but is wholly duo to the
scarcity and high price of materials for printing
and publishing books, magazines, and news
papers. These rales rule so nigh now that a
magazine printed and published ia London can
be sold as cheap (and with a much mora at
tractive list of contents) as a magazine of tho
same size can be published in this country. Thus
the most attractive London periodical
London Society has reached a very
large circulation In and about this city
seme two thousand copies while other maga
zines and newspapers of English manufacture
have respectable circulations. Among these we
might name Temple Bar, Oornhill, St. James',
London Illustrated News, Punch, Fun, All the
Year hound, Once-a-Week, CasseWs Family
Paper, etc. For the Brst time in tho history of
our city we observe an English poster-bill,
beautifully printed in colors, pasted on all the
dead walls and corner, announcing the ex
cellencies of the new and vtry ably
conducted London periodical called The Argosy.
While we admire enterprise, even of foreign birth,
we must, conies that it Is very unpleasant to
ob.erve these elsun of the dead-and-alive nature
of our publishers and literati. It Is true tbat the
taxes on napet, materials, manufacture, and
publication aie all grievously heavy, but still we
think a renewed effort on tho part of onr
publishers might itive us nearly enough choice
American literature to satisfy the public taste
and deirand.
