Mr. A. Mr. f . baa gone more into

cianat audi hare no idea that he
would, for n moment, endure the

scatier tnetn as oamsoji did tne wisps

letter of acceptance, he apeaks of the
will of the purple, tint makes no men

bably aa indifferent to, aa ignorant of,
the provisions of that instrument.
Mr. C. I should like to know
whether G rant's silence be constitu
tional or assumed ;. whether be was a
babbler before he was great, and ia
now taciturn from policy and consci
ousneaa that he cannot shine in con
versation. Gkace Gbkenwood, the
Yankee poetess, in an eulogy on him,
seems to intimate that lie adopts
golden silence" in preference to
"silvern speech" by policy. Tlie

I expect no act of kindness to the Bonth

Mr. A. 1 ergae very mm h in the opin

hope, that be will make quick work of tbe
Kemp aad all tboir work, and give o
tne calm aad arespwity of the Augustan
era. I have beard it hinted, and think it
likely, there does exist an understanding
among tbe three military chiefs (tirant,

Mr. P. Nat a bit if it : not a

people are sot prepared for it, aad do not
expect it. Rat tbe masse there are in
toxicated with victory and spoil : they
have lost all sense of free in.titotion., if
tbey ever had aav, and are now It sub
jecU for despotism, and nothing else. Tbe
masse are the ruling power these. The
men of worth, of cultivation, of character,
have aa completely disappeared from the
scene there as the same etas bad here to
tbe South, before the war. A gentlemen ,
who is a very close observer, told me that
being in Washington daring th impeach
ment trial, be took hi stand in the rotun
da and aw the members of the House
pas two and two to tbe Senate. He
scanned them closely, and waa struck by
tbe coarse and unmistakably vulgar arr
which distinguished nineteen oat or twen
ty of them. No, the cocked hat gentry
and their descendant, who once illustrat
ed tbe North, have vanqawbod forever,
and tbe vulgarians, wbose rata ever her
alds the advent of despotism, now bear
way. I nny be mistaken, hut I do not
believe a man who ba onee commanded
armies will aver submit to be ruled by
such a mob. He may tolerate their ex
istence, but he will never brook their
domination.
Jfr. G. It may not be unlikely, assug-
gestrd by Mr. R., that bis benevolent
omniums are negative, bat that does not
signify thst be might not be aw
just ruler. Augusta, as a beardless boy,
wa a monster oi cold-blooded cruelty,
and yet, when be attained uncontested
and absolute power, bo became eminent
for hi clemer,ey snd moderation. We do
not know that hi nature had changed ;
it wa only his situation that bad
changed ; but mankind profited by it,
whatever the cause. It has occurred to
me, that if bis beveolence is passive, hi

His being silent from a tense of deficient

sign. I here is ever hope ot a stan who
scrutinizes himself, and is not afraid to
look hi own fault in tbe face. Rat, bow-
ever sluggish bit mind may be, if he be
really ambitious, he cannot fail to dis
cover the strong point of his situation,
which is, by boldly ridding tbe South of
negro domination, s be thereby bind
that whole region to him by books strong'

time for tbe country than aay other act
be could perform. I believe we have
