It appears to some persons ta-'l a gicut
deal too much use is made of the symbol of the log cabin. No man of sense, sup
poses, certainly, that he having lited in a log ca in is any further proof of qualifi
cation for the Presidency, than as it cre
ates a presumption that any one, who from humble condition, or under unfavorable circumstances, has been able to at
tract a considerable degree of public attention, is possessed of reputable ipiahties, moral and intellectual. Hut it i3 lo be remembered, that this matter of the log cabin originated, not with the fi iends of the Whig candidate, but with his cnemu'S. Soon afier his nomination at llarrisburg. a writer tor oiu of the leading admim-tralion papers spoke of thi 'd"g cabin," and his use of "hard
