of the state of things at Washing

is not far wide of the fact: "There
does not appear so much excite

reader of our various newspapers
would be led to expect. All whom
I have heard speak on the subject,
express regret at being called to
make the choice; and from what 1
have observed thus far, I am led to
believe that the affair will be con
ducted with much more quietness
and composure than most people
anticipated."
