The illustrious Jeeeehsox, whose writings will forever constitute an inexhaustible spring of politi cal wisdom, uttered the following clear, forcible, and patriotic language on the moral impropriety of appointing kinsmen to lucrative stations. We extract it from Tucker's Life of Jefferson, where it appears in a letter written to a friend: « Bringing into office no desire of making it sub servient to my own private interests, it haa been no sacrifice, by postponing them,’ to strengthen the confidence of my fellow-citizens. But I have not felt equal indifference towards excluding merit from office, merely because it was related to me. How ever, I have thought it my duty to do so, that my constituents fnay be satisfied, that, in selecting per sons for the {management of their affairs, lam in fluenced by neither personal nor family interests— and especially that the field of public office will not be perverted by me into a FAMILY PROP ERTY. On this subject, I had the benefit of useful lessons from my predecessors, had I needed them, marking what was to be imitated and what avoided.” Mr. Jefferson on Borrowing. In 1813, when the ' Government of the United States was under the necessity of borrowing large sums of money, and when its credit was seriously impaired, Mr. Jefferson, in a letter to Mr. Eppes,. chairman ot the committee of ways and means of the House of Representatives, recommended the ,following rule as a guide forall governments which were disposed to cherish their credit: “ It is a wise rule and should be fundamental in a government disposed to cherish its credit, and at the same time to restrain the use of it within the limits of its faculties, never to borrow a dollar with out laying a tax in the same instant for paying the interest annually, and the principal within a given time ; and to consider that tax as pledged to the creditors on the public faith. On such a pledge as this, sacredly observed, a government may always command, on a reasonable interest, all the lendable money of their citizens, while the necessity of an equivalent tax is a salutary warning to them and their constituents against oppressions, bankruptcy, and; its inevitable consequence, revolution.” Kentucky Whig Convention.

From ibeßoftoa Fort. The Democrat! and Presidential * Candidates. David Wilmot’s Attack on James Bntlianan! That Democrats_fihould differ 'in relation to the candidates to he supported for President is to he expected. Nor is there any one of their statesmen 66 prominent in the eyes of the wholfr— as Jefferson was and Jackson became—as to designate him as the standard But there are several for whom there are strong local preferences, and who, at the same time, have a national reputation, and the policy of courtesy, of conciliation, yea even of a generous defence of them from the attacks of the whigs, rises into the dignity of a duty on the part of the members of the party, and more espe cially of those who wield the influence ofthe press or of office. What shall we say, then, when even Democratic members of Congress not only decline to defend such statesmen when attacked* but step out of the line of their duties to abuse them and wantonly Huel them?. Such aa instance has just occurred, and the individual who did it deserves to be held up to the scorn of the party. We allude to the course which has been pursued in relation to James Buchanan by David Wilmot— a democratic member whose name has become conspicuous from its connection with the restrictive principle known as the Wilmot Proviso. In his late copious discharge of abuse upon that veteran republican and cotemporary and friend of Jefferson, Thomas Ritchie, Wilmot thus alludes; to Mr. Buchanan: ** Talk of such a man for the presidency! The man who was the reviler of Madison—the oppo ser of the war! There was no chance for his suc cess. But there was a chance for him to divide and distract, and a chance to denounce. But Mr. W. would put him and his minions at defiance.” Suppose it to have been true that-Mr. Buchanan, thirty-five years ago. did oppose the war, is not a score or more of years of faithful service to the country and of splendid advocacy of Democratic principles, enough to atone for such early sin 1 Is it nothing that he was so true that Jackson gave him his friendship, aiid that he has the Confidence and support of the great State of Pennsylvania ? Is his brilliant career aar Senator and Secretary of State to go for nothing i But it so happens that Wilmot's charge is not true; it is a libel that he has fished up from the whig gutter to hbrl at the distinguished Pennsylvanian. We copy an extract from the prompt, manly, and successful reply to Wilmot, by Hon. James Thompson: \ et But my colleague charges Mr. Buchanan with having opposed the last war. Sir, I Had j supposed that that stale old slander would have been suffer ed to sleep, and never again be repeated by any gentleman of character and truth. Opposed the last war ! - Where was my colleague in the last war ? Mr. Wilmot. I was born in 1814. Mr. Thompson. Yes, sir, the gentleman was in his cradle at that period, but does not hesitate to .calumniate those who were active in the scenes of that period. Mr. Buchanan opposed to! the war! Sir, if I recollect aright, he was its earnest sup porter in the legislature of his native state; and if he had been wanted for’any public or private ob ject, he would not have been found in the army a vol unteer at one time —a private soldier at Baltimore. Was this opposition to the war! lie was certainly its supporter. A reviler of Mr. Madison !. No, sir. I know what the gentleman alludes to. Mr. Wjlmot, in his seat. That speech.! Mr. Thompson. Yes, that speech. the only thing Mr. Buchanan said in that speech at Carlisle, against Mr. .Madison, was his belief that Mr. Madi son was not energetic enough in his war measures; that he would not conduct it with the vigor, that ought to characterise it. This, sir, was all; and no man of truth can assert any thing else. This was the substance and purport of that speech; and other great men entertained the same opinion. But was this opposition to the war ? No, sir, uo ; it was far otherwise.” If Wilmot’s looks did not betoken a twinge of shame as this answer was made to his wanton at tack, his conscience must be. in a seared state; and yet he may possess the same sort ot moral sense that politicians of his stamp have in this region, who can violate truth and decency in libelling their fellow men with a placidity of countenance truly wonderful. These conscience-governed men. how ever alive to the arts of the demagogue,! are evi dently dead to the demands of justice. But our object is not so much to deal with David Wilmot. as it is to deal with that fierce! spirit of detraction that is calculated to do so much mis chief to the Democratic cause. We deny the patriotism of the politicians who resort to it. ques tion their motives, distrust their judgment, and hesitate not to denounce their course as suicidal to the Democratic cause. Take the case in point.— Hen’ is a favorite*son of Pennsylvania sheered at. denounced, and pronounced in advance an Impracti cable candidate, and by a mail calling himself a democrat and a Pennsylvanian! Suppose democrats in lavor of Mr. Buelfonan pursue the same course with regard to the man Wilmot prefers'? What would be the riMilt in the end { Where would bo the po»ibitity of union { When? the chance of suoec-s' No; out upon such a course, for it is suicidal, and plaving into the h mils of tlie whigs.

An Address to the Citizens of Lan caster, on tlie Subject of tlie Common Schools. Fellow-Citizens : — We address you with feel ings of most anxious solicitude. But we do so. with entire-confidence. The consciousness of'right su>- Tains us; and we are emboldened by the reflection, -that it is in behalf of your own childreuy-lhat we speak. You will understand us..as alluding to tlie condition, moral and religious, of the : Common Schools of this city. 1 To make ourselves well understood, we must go : back a little. .Some months ago. a motion was made in the Common >cnool Board, to i introduce into our schools, the teaching of the Dud's Prayer, i the ..‘lposlle'f Creed, and the Ten Commandniaits—pro vision being; made however, that no child should . be compelled to learn them, against the parent s : wishes. The proposition being one of igreat im portance, was laid upon the table, to givb time tor consideration. It has since been repeatedly discus sed in the Board, but without coming to any posi tive settlement of it until Tuesday evening, the 22d inst.. when the whole subject was indefinitely postponed, by a slender majority of two: Twelve Directors have at dillemit times recorded their votes in favor of the measure—lourteen aganst it— whilst one, the lion, the Attorney General of the State, has always.been prevented by official duties at a distance, from attending tlie discussions ql* the Board. Under these circumstances, wei appeal to you, as the parties most directly and deeply inter ested in this question. We say, that you are the parties most directly and deeply interested in this lhatter. What is it we have proposed:? Simply to have your children taught the Lord's Prayer, the Apostle's Creed, and tlie Ten Commandments. In recommending this, wc had no thoughts or design, but to provide religious guides and salcguards lor your children, such as' we were sure you would yourselves approve of. A simple forni of Belief: venerable for its antiquity, and in which the vast majority of Christians have always agreed. A sirtiple form of Prayer, dictated by the bacred lips of the Divine author of our Holy Religion, and God's own Commandments, for their direction and control, in the discharge of their duties to God and man : and all this to be simply taught, without anv partial or sectarian interpretation. But we have been defeated in this attempt; and nowjas matters stand, no Teacher has any authority; from the Board, to utter or to teach a prayer, or even to tell a child, as a great Christian truth, that; there is a God, a Heaven, and a Hell. You will ask, in surprise, upon whit grounds," so reasonable a proposition is opposed i It is not pretended, that it involves the teaching o!f any thing that is trifling or untrue. Those who resist its introduction, yet vie with us. in acknowledging their belief of all that is proposed or to be taught. That there is no sectarianism in it, will be manifest, by a single glance at the names below. ; It is God's Commandments simply, that w r e wish to; have your children instructed in—and as to the Apostle's Creed, , it is not the credd of any sect or party j it belongs to Christendom. We agree in owning its authority, and in receiving it as the most ancient and com prehensive summary of the main heads of Christian doctrine. Does our proposition-interfere with liberty qf consama? How so 1 We deny the allegation ana demand the proof. Liberty of conscience, means, as we understand it, liberty of belief aid worship without coercion or restraint. Does the measure in question interfere with or curtail this liberty? We cannot conceive that it has, and we are very sure it was not intended to have any such efffeet No child is obliged to engage in this exorcisf against the parent's will. But where a parent has claimed and obtained exemption for his own j child, thore wo think hti rights and coniclonce end. whence doe» ho doiiro tno right, to any that another man's child shall not be taurht that whlchho, disapproves for his own? Or how can it with truth be averred, that hi* conscience is wounded, by the instruction given to his child? Is there any thing in the scheme proposed, that is xnanuigtent with the Constitution and lines of. this Commonwealth? “General Christianity”—we reply, was long ago decided, by our Supreme Court—and at a time when that Bench was illustrated by the learning and virtues of a Tilgkman and a Duncan- — to be u r part of the Common Law. of the State.’’* And this decision, we understand, to have been re cently reaffirmed, by Mr. Justice Coulter , ofthe Bame Court, as being unquestionably the true legal doc trine on this subject Now if there be any signifi cant in language, it does seem to us, that by “ General Christianity,” must be understood, those great truths and principles of the gospel, in which the vast majority of Christians, have always agreed. And we confidently maintain, that there is nothing in the Creed, the Lords’ Prayer, or the Ten Com mandments, that does not fairly come within the description of u General Christianity,” so understood. If then, the Board chose to establish such a course of simple religious instruction, as has been pro posed, there is nothing, as we think, in the Consti tution or Laws of this* Commonwealth to forbid it Whence it follows, that nothing but the will of the Board, or rather, the wall of a very slender majority of the Board, opposes the measure that we have sought to introduce. And now, fellow-citizens, We call upon you, as being the parties most deeply and direc.tly inter ested in this matter. Many of you have complained to us, and with reason, of the demoralizing effect of these schools, upon your children. Many have, on this account, withdrawn their children from them. We see and lament the evil: We have sought, in the proposed measure, in part at least, to redress it, but the effort has been defeated; and now with the exception of reading the Bible, no kind or measure] of direct religious instruction or influ ence is authorized in our schools. We invite especially, the sympathy of Christian Mothers in this matter. We call upon them, in behalf of the children that God hath given them. We tell them plainly, that in our opinion, those children are in danger—and that if even the small measure of Christiau instruction which we have proposed, is to be frowned out of doors, they had better at once, and at any sacrifice,.withdraw them from the schools. We can conceive few greater calamities for a child, than to be subjected, through all the tenderest and impressible years of life, to the influences of an education, from which all Christian instruction is systematically excluded. We have now done, what we felt to be our duty. What remains, is for you to consider. We saw, \\hafwe regarded as a great defect in our system of teaching, and we sought to apply a remedy, so far as might be done, without touching the consti tutional rights, or wrongfully offending the consci entious principles of any man. The attempt has proved abortive. Our resources are exhausted, and we turn to you. You will pardon our earnestness in this matter. Most of us. stand to you in the sacred relation of Pastors. The great majority of these chiklren, are the lambs of our Hocks. JVc cannot and will not stand as silent and unconcerned spectators, in a matter which touches their eternal welfare. We feel that we should be unfaitlii'ul shepherds, if we did not warn you. when we see danger approaching them. In vain, to a great extent, will be your counsel and example at home—in vain our efforts for them in the sacred desk, if, instead of seconding and sustaining our exertions, the which they frequent. are to be. voiceless and dumb, as to religion, and their teacheis forbidden to instruct them, in the simplest elements of Christian truth. Our part is now done, and in conclusion, we have only to beg you very seriously to. consider what we have said. We speak for no sector party, re ligious or political. We have no private interests to serve in this matter. We plead for our common Christianity, and for what we verily regard, as the dearest interests of your own children. And whilst we desire not to interfere with any man’s religious belief, or conscientious scruples, we say to you. with the boldness which the truth inspires, that you should never consent to have excluded from our Common Schools, instruction in those great truths which lie at the very basis of our Holy Religion— which the vast majority of Christian believers have always agreed in—and- w’nich -we are firmly per suaded. belong to that general Christianity," which has been solemnly decided, to be a part of the Common Law of the land.
