While the State of Ohio has been directing her enterprise to the enhancement of the wealth and the internal improvement of the country, and rapidly ri?ing and increasing in owerand political enterprise Kentucky, possessing ;, the physical elements which could command a distinguished station among her sister states, has been gradually sinking into political degradation. Yet there is taste, refinement, sterling integrity and honor, joined to the highest order talent among those of their citizens. These, it may be hoped, will re-establish the foundations of good government which have been broken up, and give to public opinion that tone and strength which shall obtain a controlling influence over the morals of the community O.

No one j ever w ill become rich bv being a president j of the United States.

' Many petty officers in Europe receive twice ' or three times the amount that is paid to I our presidents and some of the second or i third rate of the priests, a gieat deal mere ;

to say nothing of the fatness of the bishops and other dignified rotundities. We would not imitate the fashions of the old w orld, when they proceed to "take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned;"" but persons called upon, or appointed to attend to public business ought to be respectably maintained w hile in office, that the) may not be tempted, by the opportunies presented, to make speculations or be reduced to comparative pauperism, or at least poverty, when retiring to the place of private citizens.

This will, of course, under our law, and when this government shall bo duly notified thereof, of tvh'u h the President w ill give notice by proclamation, entitle Swedish ships and Cargoes to the privileges of American ships and cargoes in our ports.
