We are told by history, that Aristides was
ostracised, because he was called the Just,
and that Themistocles was banished, after
saving his country from desoation. The au-
thors Of these acts have not transmitted their
names to posterity. How withering would be
the accumulated reproaches of two thousand
years had they not been screened by the 81
lence Of history!


SO Judge White Of our times is banished
from the Senate, because he is most pure
and honest man. He has deyotedly served
his country, sans pew and sans reproche,
until his head is siIvered with the frosts of
time, and his body is SCARED by the conflicts of
almost an age Of service. Amid the nume-
rous votes he has given in the course of fifteen
years in the Congress of the United States, his
enemies point to but solitary one which they
presume to condemn.


But accident has given them the power in
his native State, and they insoently com
mand this venerable statesman to discard the
lessons of experience, to disregard the prin-
cipes and convictions which long life has
established and confirmed in his mind, and
yield both the dignity Of freeman, and the
independence Of Senator, by surrendering
all to the dictatons of the Executive, and
voting for men and measures which neither his
conscience sanctions nor his judgment ap-
proves. Like noble Roman, he scorns the
contemplated degradation, and gives back, ere
it is tarnshed, his high trust to those who
gave it.


And there is moral dignity in the manner
in which Judge White discharges this duty,
which will touch the hearts and command the
admiration his countrymen.


His letter to the Legislature of Tennessee,
which we publish to-day, is most manly and
luminous document. There is conclusive
ness and pungency in its argument which
will make it felt, deeply and abdingly,
throughout the length and breadth OF Ten
nessee, and the whole Union.
