Looking over tlie columns of (lie Haitimore
Patriot, last evening, wo came Across
a paiagrapli in which Mr. CaIIiouiiV honname
follows the prefix 'Cataline.' 'Alas ?
for-the South,' we mentally exataimeJ, 'when
one of fie#1 softs thus endeavors to offer
flagrant insult to the purest and most hon
ored name save that of WmJjirfgton, that,
in mentioned in her annals!'
Il occurred to us, then,that a paper
which could offer insult to Mr. Calimui^s
inoioory, must, cz necessitate rei, be false
to the South ; and he began (tftoobihrough
it for the evidence. XVp found If, in abundance.
There was an editorial o.ommenda-.,

'some other paper, proposing the hanging of '
those who propose Disunion, aa a remedy
for the aggressions on the South.

CHABAfiTER Aid) REPUTATION. I
I will draw a distinction between character
and reputation, tfhicb aVo flot synonymous.
A man's character is the reality
# *
himself; his reputation, the opinon others"
have formed about him ;' character resides
in him, reputation in other people; that is
the substance, this the shadow: thev are
- * ,
sometimes greater or less. If a maW be
able to achieve things beyond his time,* bis
reputation will be different from bis character.
IT? who seeks reputation must not bo
beyond the times ho lives in. ft is impbV1taut
to njen beginning life to knoW whieb
they want?character or reputation. T<S'
build a character is a work of time; a3
ships are built on one element and used in
another, so character is formed iri' you'tb
and home for after life. Reputation is
easily got; it is generally charlatanism,
biking many forms?as that of the patriot
a tribe numerous as musqaitocs, who, like
them, lean and hungry, suck all tho blood
they can, but make none-^-wbo' live oh'
suction. In a nVari, as" in a ship, tho mate*
lial must exist originally ; a man natti'rally
mean may bo improved, but never rill be
a noble man. Reputation may bo made
for a man ; character must be made by him
with labor and time, and it cariYiot betakcu
away. The antagonism between tho two
is not ao great as' the disproportion, 'f bua
.. r?s*1 r* ;r-;e? .-:u j.? - ? - ---
??, ii uu wiiiL-ni iu uu considered
wise; lie likes a shadow tbl*ee times
his size; like banks tliat iss'ie three paper
dollars for every one in specie they have; if
worth a Quarter he likes to he called WoHb'
half a million', until the assessor things
him to his ;>en.ies. lie will disclaim 'p'optflaiitv,'
but claim the same thing under the
name of 'influence ;* but it la what ?jo<l
made a man and he makes of himSelf that
determines his influence; the weightinever
ask a favor of thescalfcs ; a thousand [Sotinds
will weigh down five hundred by their Dattiral
force.?So he speaks of 'prtfdenfce.'
Prudence is coincident with rectitude ; And
there have been men against the grain1 of
life all their days who yet were m'ost Jftudent
men. lie substitutes loVo of approbation
for love of truth. Thousands lose
their character to save their reptftstiota.

Any year divisible by 4 without a rerrWirider,
