In pressing this point lie made many ob-ervalious which, if well ; Considered, weighed, and applied, would awaken tliO : ne;gi, s of those lor whose good tliey were intended, an i cans- them to telloct that the strength of the ' beautiful fabric which our society should he, depend^ no less oti the virtue and fair character of its youth. ; than on tho sobriety and watchfulness of its older [ members, lie opened many trains of thought and presented ideas which wc hope our young friends will carry out and devdopo In their thought fill moments. , ami let t!ie:n have some influence in giving a tincture to lint n?*i'.l" from which their ". olid" character is to be formed.

We are disgusted,?heartily sick and tired of all party organizations whether of! Whig, Democrat or otherwise, for our limited experience assures us, that alter all they are nothing but sounding brass or tinkling symbols. Yet we do not see tbo philosophy of rejecting everything, because j tliey may not bo in exact accordance with our pro" j conceived opinions and predilections. Whilst we arc as free ns ever to say, that certain features of the new platform of the American party, please us, and if carried out l.y them as a party in good faith, we slmil | approve and lioariily endorse, we cannot perceive that i we arc committed to a blind and indiscriminate endorsement of every tiling which llie new party profess j es or does.

If it be treason to hold and avow these sentiments, then, in the language of Patrick Henry we say, make the most of it, we are traitors.
