"Kock of Ages cleft for me" , 'Tvvas a woman sung them now, Pleadiugly: and prayfully ; : Every vvtH-d her heart did know, Rose the song as storm tossed bird Beats with weary wing the air.

Soon after Johnson was inalled as President, he sent a gentleman to New York to solicit an interview ylth Horace Greeley. Unable to leavalhe capital, Greeley must come to hinLAt once at the White House. Greely promptly complied with the request. Johnson opened the conversation by say ing that he round himself la a most trying position, ihe nation-was convulsed with passion in consequence oi Mr Lincoln assassination ; the situation was new and embarrassing to him ; he fdt inadequate to the task to which he hid been so un expectedly called, and he elttlie need, as he had never before fell i:, of the counsel of some cool and sagacioui man. He had, therefore sent for Mr. Greeley. What course to pursue, how to Kern the torrent of Northern frenzy, how to manage the reins of government in a crisis so awful, was a problem too deep for bira to solve. Placing himself in Mr. Greeley's hand?, he asked, WHAT MUST IDO ? Thanking him for the confidence thus repoaed in him, Mr. Grteby replied that his be?t course was to call to his assistance a few of the, wisest and best men in the country. They should b representative Hietflrom the two great sections. On the part of the North he would suggest Gov. Andrew of Massachusetts Gerrit Smith of New York, and Judge Sjaldingjof Ohio. A like number ot uilcru gentlemen should bo called; they shfuld be invited to the White House as guests of the Pres ident, there to remain and deliberate as long as they thought fit; and having a greed upon some policy, lley should sub mit it to the President for. his approval, and if approved by him, ai Mr. Greeley doubted not it would be, itihould be faith fully and rigidly pursued, cespite the pop ular chmor whidi miglit fur a timeeusuc. Mr. Julnisou thought well of the eug gestion. r "Hut wh.it southern men shoild I invite Mr. Greeley, to meet the gentlemen you have named from the north'" "First and foremost," said Mr. Greeley, "Robert E. Lt:e of Virginia." "Great heavens!? exclaimed Johnson :J ''he is the verv head aiiH. front of the re hellion." " ) "I know thai," said (Jreelcy, "and for that very reason you jiouid invite liim. He knows, if any man iocs, the wants of the Southern people; li5 of all men pos sesses the confidence of the entire South ; he is uptight: and pure; he would not re commend : single action on your part which would not meet tins approval of your advisers from the north, and the result of the deliberations in which Robert E. Lee, Judge Cambcll of Alalam.i, and a third man 1 ke them, from the son! Ii took part, would not only -insure the approbation of the disafi'. cJed States, Uit in the course of u few months, w.-uld I am firmly persuad ed, bring to your support every right minded and right hearted man at the north. The pacification ot the estranged sections, your m lin difliculty, would thus be solved and your path made clear toward the so lution of minor dilnculi u .. IIow are you to discover the true sentiments of tin south and the wants of its people if you do not consult her representative men And what sort of restoration wil that be in the plan of which the south has no part what ever? It must of necessitv be one sided, partial and aLd unjust, lie puisiudcd, Mr. President, and call to your aid men of the standing, position, and temper I have suggested, and by all means call thrm from both section5," In this strain Mr, Greeley continued until he had FaIKLT WON THE PRESIDENT s i over to his wav of thinking. The intcr- of mY al'ility i 1 hey parted, and ten days atrerward Johnson threw Greeley's suggestions to the wind, adopted "My policy," at.d pur sued it; witlrr'wh.tt result the country is , but too sadly aware. j Thus it will be seen lhat the role of pacificator is XO XEW THING ' with Mr. Greeley, but is only a part which he lias svstematicalv pursued evcrr since the clo?e of the war.
