office I will say nothing, because I know
there is more or less difference of opinion:

your wisdom, energy, aud .determination-

heve.it isj capable of the strongest proof.
T 1 i i . i . .
j, may aiso aaa mat it is a great crror'i
which is being propagated in our laud, to
say that our national life depends merely
upon the sustaining of that Constitution,
uur lathers made it, and we love it. ,14
intend to. maintain it. But if it suits us
to change it, wo can do so applause ;
and when it suits us to change it, we will
change it. Applause. If it were torn
into ten thousand pieces, the nation would
be as much a nation as it was .before the
Constitution was made a nation, always
:that declared its independence as a
united people, and lived as a united peo
pic until, now a nation independent
J-all particular institutions under which
they lived; capable ot modeling them
precisely as their interests require. We
ought to have it distinctly understood by
friends and enemies that while we love
that instrument we will maintain it, and
will with undoubted certainty put to
death frieud or foe who undertakes to
trample it under foot; yetbeyoud a doubt
we will reserve the right to alter it to suit
ourselves from, time to time and from
generation to generation. Applause.
One more idea on that subject. Wc
have iucorporated in that instrument the
right of revolution, which gives us, with-,
out a doubt, the right to change it. It
never existed before in the American
States, and there is no need of rebellion,
insurrection, or civil war, except upou a
denial of the fundamental principles of
all free governments that the major part
must rule, and there is no other way of
carrying on Eociety except that the will
of the majority shall be the will of the
whole, or that the will of the minority
shall be the will of the whole. So that,
in one word, to deny the principles 1
have tried to state is to make a dogmatic
assertion that the only form of govern
ment that is possible with perfect liberty,
and acknowledged by God, is a pure and
absolute despotism. The principles,
therefore, which I am trying to state be
fore you, are principles which, if they be
not true, freedom is impossible, and no
government but one of pure force can ex
exist or ought to endure among men.
But the idea WliicTi X wished to carry
oirt as the remedy for these troubles and
sorrows, dVcadful as they are, is this : j
This fbarful truth runs through the
whole history of mankind', that whatever
else Eiuy btrdouc to give' stability to au
thority, whatever else may be done to
give perpetuity to institutions, however
wise, however glorious, practical, and just
may be tlie philosophy' of it, it has been
found that tlie only enduring, only .im-1
perishable cement bf all free institutions
has been the blood of traitors. No Gov-j
eminent has ever been built upon unper
ishable foundations, wVich foundations
were not laid in the blood Of traitors. It
is a fearful truth, but wc had as well avow
it at once, and every lick you strike, and
cvery'Rebel you kill,' every' battle you
win, dreadful as it is to do it, you afe'add-1
lug, it' may be 'a year, it may be ten
ybars, it may he a century, it may be ten
centuries, to the hie ot the Govcrnmcn
and the freedom of your children.
Great applause: Now, 'passing over

which it would be fight for hie to say,

Applause. Your origin has been re- aentatives of the true friends of the" Gov- ; existence: They haveexlsted Kore a good

TheEldei; Bush a. Preventative of Insects;
. Jtrrisknot, km)wn to. many. persons; -that
the common elder bush of our" country is
a great safeguard against the devastation
of insects. If 5any one will notice, it Will'
be found that worms or insects never
touch- the older, This fact was the initial
point of experiments of an Englishman
in 1GU4, and hccomuiunicatcd the results'
of his experiments toa Condon' magazine.
Accident' cxh"uirfed' his old w6Vk,'aud a
Kentucky' c6rrespondent last year com-
municated to the Dollar Newspaper a copy
of the practical results as. asserted by the,.
English experimenter that the leaves of
r the elder scattered over cabbage, squash
's - . , . . , 3 1 . .
es, cucumocrs, and other plants subject
to the ravages of insects, effectually shield
them. The plum, and other fruits sub
ject to the ravages of insectsmay be
saved by placiug bunches of elder leaves
on tlie branches "and through the trees.

... A 3old Lawyer.
David. Paul Brown, Esq., of Philadel
phia, one day last week, rose to address a
jury in behalf of a man charged with mur
der, when he perceived that tvo of the
jurymen had tlieir legs stretched ,out
somewhat higher than tlieir bodies, with
their dirty boots resting upon the railing
that separates he jurfbox from the bar.
.Mr. Brown, before commencing his speech
addressing these two jurymen, said,
"Take down your, feet, sirs. I come here
to speak to men's heads, or to their hearts,
ancl nofcjto their feet; aud will not sub
mit to 'such an indignity in a court of jus
tice, wheu the life of an individual is at
stake, for decency is a part of the law."
The feet of course, dropped at oncd, and
an apology was made

The Commcr-
'pcial's Washington correspondent says :'
A lew week's since, l wrote ot a man
who did not want an office.' Now I have
a Estill- moretstartliug-fact to announce a
maujWhochol.dsaipluce under the Gov
ernment works., hard, and-won't take any'
pay for it ! The rura avis is ?Ir. Vhit-'
ihg, Solicitor of "the War Department';'
and 'the -case, as' related fo me by ah inti
mate friend of his', is as follows : About
two ,years- agqt Sec Ski u ton, wrote to Mr
)Yhting,kvhonx.Lhe had known, well aud
favorably as a lawyer fqr many yeors, at'
his fioiiic' iu id assachusett's, informing
him4 that he was a'bbut-'td' create the of
fice of Solicitor for thc War Department
and tend'hed him the position, at a salary"'
of ?5;O0D a year, I believe. Mr. WlnV,
injj; replied that he would be glad to serve"
HUg Government in the capacity 'named,
and would accept the olli'ee upon one cou-"
dition, that he receive no pay or emolu
ments of any kiud, and have thc privi-
lege of bearjng his own expenses at the
capital. This was finally, though reluc
tantly, acceded to by 31 r. Stanton, and
IMr., Villi ting left- his palatial home id'
New ..England,. and-took up his abode in
Washington City. Znot couent' with rc
fusing to receive compensation hiuikeUy
drew up an instrument in wntiuir, tond"
filed it iu thc War Department, stipula
ting that", in case of his death while herev
his family alibuld not be cutitled to one
dollar for thc services. he may have ren
dered. IJr. Whitiug is a rich man, and"
can' afford to'do'all he has magnanimous
ly agreed' to; but it should be remember
ed there are hundreds of others e
qually well afford it, who would hesitate
for a long time before accepting suclf a
n jn remunerative borih."
