to our closet. T his is far preferable to the empty approval of heartless politicians. What must be the feelings of an editor, who is bam.d to approve every act of his party, and praise every ofilco seeking demagouge who wishes to batten upon the spoils.
When we know a candidate has always been actu
ated by selfish motives, of doubtful principles, a truckling politician, and of immoral character, we
cannot recnminnnu aim lo our icuow citizens as
being -'a true whig, a talented politician, and an honest man." And if tbe whig party wish an ed
itor to laud every whig and opposa every federalist, they must employ some other person than the pres
ent editor of tbe Indiana American. Actuated by these feelings and these principle?.
have we done what we have in the Congressional
canvass which has just closed- Whigs who be
lieve we, as an editor, should say every whig candidate is an honest man and a correct politician,
when we know tba reverse is true, have disapproved of oar coarse; butt bos who arc willing we should tell the troth "tbo the heavens fall. have approved oar coarse. The approval o one honest man ia worth a thousand heartless politicians. It
is said to be difficult to find a christian lawyer.
an honest politicians, or an editor who will publish
the truth; and it is a pretty correct saying. Ed iters have every inducement, in times of party ex
citement, to lie. tbeir party expects and demands
it of them, and proscribes them if they do not. And it takes a man with inflexible firmness to re
sist such inducements. Consequently we have not
been much astonished at those whom we esteemed honest men in other occupations, when they ajsume
tbe editorial chair temporarily, they have soon be
come the most reckloss of truth or honesty.

him to
stay in Washington, and laid him he would take care of him. but his wife and children being in New York, Tucker preferred to return. He says Gen.H. followed him into the grounds on the east side of the White House, and he walked with him arm-in-arm; that the General had no hat on; and when Tuckei adverted to his liability to take cold, he waiv ed the remark by saying he wns already On wet!. Having received the letter from the General. Tucker says he followed him to the door and shook him by tbe hand, saying, "Go to my friend, Mr Curtis, and after you have been to him don't forget to write to me that you and your wile and children are happy again." Tucker says he had no money to come home by land, but he did not let the General know that, for he knew he wouM give it to him in a minute, and he did not wish to take money from the good old man who had been so kind to him. And so Tucker went on board the schooner L. L. Sturgis,at Alexandria, and worked his passage home to New York. When he cam to the Custom house he had not been nshore thirty minutes, and having first heard the news of the death of his kind benefactor as he passed up the Old Slip dock, the abundant tears that fell down his hardy cheeks testified that hi is no ungrateful heart. We are glad to hear that Mr Curtis imme

as Tucker, a veteran seaman, tame with me from Carlhagena, as the mate of the brig Montidia, in the year 1829. In an association of several eeks I imbibed a high opin
ion of his character, so much so, that (expressing a desire to leave the sea,) I invited him
to come to North Bend nnd spend the remain
der of hi days with me. Subsequent misfor
tunes prevented his doing s, as he was desirous to brine some moner with him to com
mence farming operations. His bad fortune
still continue?, having. been several times shipwrecked within a few years. He says that himself and family nre now in such a situation that the humblest employment would be acceptable to him, and I write this to recommend him to your favorable notice. I am persuaded that no one possesses, in a higher degree, the virtues of fidelity, honesty, nnd
indefatigable industry, and 1 might add, of
indominable bravery, if that was a quality nercseary for the kind of employment he seeks. Yours, very truely. W. H.HARRISON. "Edward Curtis. Esq. "Col!eetor,&c. New Yoik.'
