PartLMtfP0 affecting Individuals.
A botWRuiai. observer in noting what
xcitemraw are occasioned by our popular;
elections, and the glory which seemingly bo-1
long* to tlie political sucecs.; of a candidate
for o0|g! would liardlv Credit the true J
tacts Iff the esse, and admit itfat the JiL>tori
an in estimating the character of the jticcoes- j
ful aspirant, would pay but little, regard to .
the event, which nt tho tinie of itn i*cnr-;
reitce, was thought of nMi tfHd iUiportnr?ce. I
Xoris tlus all, for tire impartial historian, j
as ho paSfe in review ?i|K>tt tlic movement?.
? of our ago, merely mentions the names of!
those who wero o lev a toil to high position,
while the real man of (he times, whom (Utcr
generations regard as illustrious, wns'-fpeat
in some vital element of character, aucTaid
not occupy exalted station, tils fnroo being
founded on tho native nobility of lii?
qualities, his renown is imperishable." His
reputation was not acquired by majorities;
but his greatness was imparted bv a mighti.r
h,.J . _ '. . k:. _1
unuu. tudiimuiu nv.uiigu unim auiiitic^
for they see that he was one uf the true
licroeH of our race. IIo wait born great, and
his pre-eminence outshines (hose who have
had greatness thrust upon tlicin.
\Vno,for example, ever thinks of the noble
and gallant Puritan. Sir Harry Vane, *s
a defeated gubernatorial candidate in the
Massachusetts Colony, in 1637! Who,
that reads the graphic and truthful portraiture
of glorious ol.i S.unuel Adams, in llancrod's
brilliant and captivating pages, remembers
that the Father of the American revolution
was once the defeated candidate for
representative to Congress from the Suffolk
Ihstrict ? And as the youthful reader pe--j
ruses the lives of the signers of the Declaration
of Indej?end?"nce, does lie consider that
Kldrid^e Gerry lost his election to Congress
at the tirst trial under the Constitution I As
^ men study the lives of Adaius and Jefferson
to learn the characters of the patriots who
laid deep and strong the foundations of our
national greatness and prosperity, and gave
,v our country an honorable place a thong the
nation*; what hilling importance is attached
to the circumstances ot?the detent of each of
the statesmen, whiti they were candidates
tor the highest, honors iu the gift of the re-1
public) L)o not men shudder :;t the thought,
hat at one time Aaron Purr Came within
.two voles of being President of the United
" - States.
Iu looking over the catalogue of men of
rare executive attainment.**, whose constructive
talents'li:i\o been of .-service in aiditojr
i ho mateii.il advancement <f t ho country, who
thinks of enquiring how Hamilton succeedixl
as a marc politician, or .inks the number
of electoral votes DeWitt Clinton received'
.-when ho was a sectional candidate for the
"Presidency. As we look at the, long and '
eventful career of the "Old Man Eloquent"
?the last of the race of revolutionary Presidents?
w ho searches among tho records of
the past to learn how he run in the election i
for Representatives to Congress and what
States Coted for him when lie was a catidi
date for re-election to the Presidency ? D.x>s!
any one think that Clay, Webster and Cal-:
lnmn will be eclipsed by Polk, Tyler, and ;
J'ierce, in our annals, because tho last nam j
?1 were more successful, as vulgar minds'
count success, than the triumvirate of Amor- i
i can Statesman who never reached the high !
station they coveted. In a lofty sense, were '
not Clay. NVehster and Calhoun greater than
innnv of our Presidents, and is the presence ,
of either of their names on the scroll ofmino 1
the result of accident of popular caprice?!
In all the essential qualities of true great- i
ness, do they not over-top men that were I
merely lucky partisan candidates, and in j
uioir peerless grandeur <io uiey not stand as \
examples to show us that "party success n?affecting
individuals'is impotent when com -;
pared with inborn aivl inherent personal i
greatness ! Tiio diamond ij the same, wheth-1
er it sparkle in tha crown of royalty or the j
cross of the pilgrim.
Important Lcsal Decisica.
Tun United States Circuit, sitting at Mo- j
bile, Alabama, was engaged last week in !
the trial of su*s brought by the Unite 1 States j
against Charles Lo Barron nnd Oeorgo N.j
Stewart a* sureties on tho official h-iul of ,
OliveJ S. Beers, late postmaster at Mobile, to J
gi. recocer.au alleged default of about ^Jd,tK)0.;
The bond wasexecuted on the 1st .Inly, 1853 '
Riid^ecitnl that "who: as < 'liver S. Beers is |
postmaster," &e.
?It appeared in evidence that Boers was ap-j
pointed Postmaster in April, 1840. hy ther
President, during tlie recess of the Senate, to !
hold his office until the adjournment of thei
next session of the Seriate ; that the adjournment
took place wn the 30th of September,
1 oen - a I?A *1 ? - * * *
io oo ; uiiii iu in? mean lime. If) wit, on the;
22'1 April, 18o0, a new appointment of]
Itoers ;w postmaster was made, l?y and with
tlie advice and eonsei>t tlio Senate, for
four jeans unless sooner removed l>y tlie 1
I 'resident.
The Court (Jmlge Cavle prodding ruled .
that tho Coverutent could not introduce ?*j
proof any admissions of the defendants that,
the bond was given under the now appoint-1
ment: and that no parol evidence tending to
show that could be received. This tilling of:
course brought up the question whether the I
bond must be considered as applying to the !
new or old appointment. Aral tho Court1
decided that it did not apply to tho new appointment,
and that consequently thesocusi-j
tics were not liable for any defult occurring j
after the date of tlv: bond. Whereupon rer
diet was rendered for the defendants'.

Jler news is of the. greatest interest and
importance.
The Czar lias uneon?litiona1ly accepted
the four guarantees, but bis sincerity is
doubted.
Hostilities continues unchanged. Sardinia
has joined the Western powers.
Till fcASTKItM QCKSTION*.
The eastern question hns assumed an en- i
tircly new and most important plinse. The '
Czar has accepted not only the four points of
the guarantee, but n!so the interpretation
thereof, ns explained by England, France
and Austria; hot no artnistiee lias been
grmitod, and consequently hostilities continue
unabated. ;
It is ycV doubtful whether Russia's said
acceptance is unconditional, or accompanied
with important explanations. Thcimmedi
ate effect of the intelligence was to raise Con-'
sols 2 per cent., but afterwards the market
fell off.
Prussia has claimed to take a share in the
negotiations, but declines for the present to
increase her ariuy.
Qronr Pacha has gone to the Crimea apd
the Russians have recrossed the Danube, invaded
the Dobrudscha and retaken the cities
of Tullscim and Baladagfr
The seige of Sebaatopol was unchanged
up to the 2nd although there linve been repeated
minors of its capture.
Tlio reported invasion of tho Dobnidscha
is perhjqw doubtful. ^
