AS WRIGHT. f I Viiiled Albany whilst Silas Wright was Governor of New a York, and carried a letter ot in' troduction to him from Joel R. Poinsett. I called to 6ee him at his ffpidenco, and was much S5- pleased with hjm. Ilis manners and conversation were so natural, 8' pleasing and ohoerful, that I was ,NV quite captivated. He possessed the ot fairest mind in debate and in conveveattfh that I ever knew, and it ?? was as lucid as it was fair and lionIt. est. I have never seen any one clse? who could express his views and opinions in reference to auy? thing; with so much clearness and ScxplictthcsE. No ono who ever heard him speak Or converse, was ever left in doubt as to his meaning or.'purpose. lie exhausted every subject that bo discussed.? Lie was indeed,'a man of the greatest ability." As a 'statesman, he was honest, qnsMfish and utiambi Uous. All the high positions which he hold in Isew York were thrust on him. lie received the nomination 6f Vico President, * wltjl James K. Polk for President, winch'be promptly declined. lie was a devoted friend of President ? Van Buren, and labored for him most disinterestedly through life. In his person he was stout and fine looking, but his fnce gave unmistakable evidence of his besetting 6in. 1 had just returned from a tour 3t through Canada, when I met Governor Wright in Albany. In speaking of the British forces in those Provinces, which he had seen ?" there the preceding summer, he l'1 remarked that he witnessed a circumstance characteristic of the English government, which made | a deep impression on Ins mind.? ) lie carried a letter of introduction k to the commanding General, who V was an officer of great distinction, and a most venerable looking old gentleaian. They were hiking a ivalk one day together, when they met a very young officer to whom the General seemed most unl>ccomingly obsequious in hit salutation. Governor Wright was informed that this ensign was a sprig ^ of nobility, and hence the deference m paid hiin by this venerable officer, k Ids commanding General. In speaking of the tariff, Govern^ or Wright said that if the neoo/s?a. ry duties for revenue were not sufficient protection, it showed clearly tl.ut the article ought not to be manufactured in the United States, lie had the simplicity of true greatness. Whilst United States Senator, living in the upper part of the State, a gentleman visited >8 him, and found him with his coat off, rolling into his cellar, with a wheel barrow, his crop of cabbages, _ preparatory to his departure for Washington. Mr. Poinsett informed mo that Le once visited the residence of Governor Wrightiu company with ,g President Van Buren. iiis house 'Mi was a small cottage, and afforded .h only accommodation for the Pi es { ident. Mr. Poinsett went to the | hotel in the viHitge. It was said that Wright was a protoge of Van )V Buren. He made his acquaint- { ance on the lakes, perceived his ' [lt extraordinary capacity, and j brought him forward in life.? \ Hence the great devotion of , U7-1-1.' ?- 1 '? T tt nun* io mm. i remember see- i as ing letter from Van Boren to Mr. Poinsett, when Wright was ' nominated for Governor of New _ York. lie stated that .they had , P? 44 forced him into harness," against ,y Wright's wishes, in order to make . te sure of the election. It ad Gov )r or nor Wright lived, ho woold have ( ft. been, in all probability, President h ot the United States, 11 is great i abilities, honesty and patriotism, 1 were nniversally acknowledged.? 3 $fr. Calhoun did not like him, and i " when Ids death w&s Announced to , c him at old Pendltton, his only ree mark WM,44 Bafnffi oof At last." It 1 is amazing that a great man like B" Silas Wright, tfith pure and on- ( selfish character, and a mitid as ? clear m crystal, with a judg- 1 ! ment almost Ctierrihg, should dos- 1 ) trov lis talents and hitpself by in- I d dufgence in a habit which ho c knows to bo fatal. But alas, it is ^1 too often the fete of onr greatest and best teen. MABTIN VAN BUKKN* I wont from Governor Wrigh*^ to ox-President ?an Boron's, near Kinder Hook, in New York. 1 saw Mr. Van Bur.cn first h\ cfinrch, recognized him from the likeness I ha<t Been, ?Jle waa, however, a lunch larger and stontar man than I expected t o see in ^fie little weasel,'* as lie had beendutibed by MK.jp^honn., I dined with him that evening.-^ There were seven or eight persons present at the table, and the din* ner was a very sumptuous one, bnt the only waiteF about the tablo waa a tidy young white woman.? All the guests were well attended to. At a Southern table, there Would have been tbrno < ?? f-??f wv V? IV4MI 11C groes in each othor's way, and the table not so well waited on. Mr. Van Bnren was then turning his attention to farming, and wished tne to stay all night with him, and look over his farm tho next day. It consisted of two or three hundred acres, and formerly belonged to one of the Van Rensalur. He enquired after a great many persons in South Carolina, and seemed to be as familiar with onr public men as I was myself. Mrs. Abraham,Van Bureu was present, formerly Miss Singleton, and a native of South Carolina. There were present aiso, his lormor Secretary of tho Treasury, and his ladv, who had formerly been the wife of Senator Johnson, of Louisiana, and the subject of a poem by Warren JR. Davis, entitled, 44 Johnson's wife of Louisiana." I told Mr. Van Buren that I was surprised to find the convention, then sitting at Albany, had proposed to make the judges' elec tivo for a term of years by the people. lie replied that he favor od the change himself. " When a young man," said he, " I thought as you do, but I am now satisfied tiiat all three departments of the government should bo directly under tho control of the people." lie mentioned a couvernation he once had with Mr. Jefferson on this subject. Jcffcvson was strongly in favor of having the Judiciary elected by the people for a torm of VAAra Mr Vnn Rm""' ? "? j . t mi* x/ui wti n no Upposed to such a system at that time, and thought it irnught with evil, lie had since changed his opinion, aud adopted the views of Mr. Jefferson. 1 was very much pleased with the ex~Pre6idcnt, and thought him a charming gentleman. Ilia manners were cordial and most pleasant. Instead of being reticent as to men and measures, I found him very frank and open in expressing his opinions about any and evory thing. Ilis son John was also Sresent, who was then Attorneyencral of Now York. In conversation, I found the father, though ' ' >ng from tho bar, a better lawyer than the son. John struck mo as a groat dandy, and very affectod and protending in his manners, llis after-life entirely developed this character. I met in Kinder Hook, a brother of the ex-President's, who was postmaster qf the, village, and a mem bo( ojf {he Ttfwli Council. lie was an intelligent, plain looking and respectable man, though very dif ferent from his brother. In the whole town of Kinder Llook, during my stay there for two days, 1 did not see a single carriage ox cent the ex/Presidenl'e, and one old hack which brought mo from the railroad depot. Very few men havo been so much abused and caluminated in South Carolina as Martin Van Daren. ' Judge Choves used to srv, that he possoseed, however, as much honesty and disinterestedness as his traducers. I have heard General Thompson say, who vjras always opposed to him in politics, that no one could know Mr. Van Buren in private life and dislike him. lie never gave offence to anv one. mwl w?? Etnd gentle in liis intercourse with the world. Such, I should suppose, was the true character of Martin Van 13uran. [continued next week.] l_i . U, -J.

W lien tli Governor of the State, nude charge of high crimes in offic? could come into the Legislatui and buy enough votes to get hiu self off, it was time to act. Tli minority in the Ilouse had bee gagged, and were perfectly awai that the votes amounted to not in tr. it was useless to attempt to figh the robbers, who usod their ill gotten gains to buy the votes o the House; but he thankod Go< that this was not the last resort. There was scarcely a man it Mte Ilonse, except those whose pc liti^i relations placed them abov. the re. Ji of the slimy minions o the ring, who had not been ap prached (bought.)

Tho Governor, up the time that he was impeache was extremely anxious to nave tl Treasurer impeached ; and if an one in tho House wanted to charj the Attorney General with this misdeeds, why didn't thoy do 6t I know that when the Governi was in New York, he ran aw? for tear of being arrested. tJ leit, however, a paper iu the poi session of a certain person, I which he tried to make away wil the sterling bonds. llero the speaker was intcrrup ed by Jones, who read a telegrar said to have been sent by Go Scott to ex-Judge Barrett, on tl 11th of November, in whic Judgo Barrett is instructed, thi unless lvimpton resigned and se tied as agreed before he (Scot loft Now York, to take legal stcj against him. This, Bowon coi tended, wus written at the dee of the momber who produced it.Hu then went on with his speed Alluding to the action of Bya who han signed the committee r )>ort advising impeachment, an subsequently worked against tli resolution, lie said tho muml> from Orangeburg would come ii to this House, and look at Mi Speaker's stand, and the next in< ment, would, for a consider at iot wear that it was not there. Thi brought By as to his feet on privilego question, and a shar cross fire was kept up for soni time.' Whippcr next obtained th floor, and made his final specc on the subject, llo said he knot ! ' eault that be bad his price. In reply to a threat of Byas to bold him responsible in a cour: of jnstioe i *' tor his words, he replied : Justice 1 brent God, if justice were meted out \ V that roan (Byas) would live in n place where the light of the stars R ,uever penetrated. He then went j V ion. Although, he said, crushed by d 'votes purchased with lucto stolen 1 - ft-oin the Treasury, he had not yet ? yielded. The load of this infamous ,c trans action bad been saddled upon jr the Republicanparty, but he would ?? not lend it bis support. Hurley next obtained tho floor, . v and made the first serious speech 10 I havo ever heard from his hps.? : !U That *4 infinite jest^' whioli is so ; "e, characteristic of the man, was for h' once put entirely aside, aud he ; grow more eloquent as he went le on to say, that if there was any ii- act in his life of which he was proud, it was the tact that he had Id voted as he did to-day on this nt question. He would say to those io members who had sold out for less io than thirty nieces of silver, that c. ho had In his pocket a letter from ig one of the thieves, in which he !e, (Hurley) was urged to vote against ie impeachment, and name his figures. He would Bay to the hirelings at of the ring that his vote records :d the fact that they had not enough >o money to buy him. He had ro more interest in the State than all is of them put together, p- 13y as hero jumped to his feet ?o and said that ho had known Hnr* t- ley when ho catno to this Stale, ? and did not have two shirts to his >e back. Having said which, he sat se down, with vugue threats of going id for liim in the courts of justice. ?d it was at this juncture that tlie iy merry twinkle returned to Tim1! a eye, and with his usual comical :n blandness, which had hitherto ? given way to a sternness quite unto usual with the man, he begged to te be permitted to ask the gentleman it- from Oi angebnrg a question. n> Permission having been accordt0 ed, ho turned to Byas and said : 1,1 Have you not now in your pocket 1 i a check for #12,203, which was given yon last year for reporting n. the bill for tittine nu the RtatP a T " bc House. ?? This was a hit thnt staggered ,r Eyas, and with much swaggering e' talk and many muttered oaths, he left his seat and troubled Hurley no more. He concluded h's speech by saying that when men so far n' forget themselves as to sell their ,e votes, he had sympathy for them Dk but no cointempt. 10 W. M. Thomas next spoke, and he was in tnrn followed by Yocum, 1 ' the hitter of whom commenced by l- saying, that he was one of those re happily disposed men who always, sC when he found himself in the ininority, yiolded to the good sense ot ^ the House. But in this instance, jv he was not disposed toyiold to the j? good dollars o! the ring. Bowen closed thodebato by sayiy ing, that he would make this prorc position to thievos and robbers.? They had asserted that the bonds ^ were issued in accordance with law. He challenged them to pick ky put an attorney, |and make np a l0 case involving the point for the 8_ decision of the Supreme Court of iy the State. If they did not agree I, to this, they must plead guilty. At this juncture, a vote was ^ taken on the resolution impeachn ing the State Treasurer, and it was v' voted down by a larger majority 10' than Scott received. The vote was lk as follows on the call of the roll : Whole number of votes cast, 89 ; necessary for the adoption ot t\ the resolution, 83?(two thirds of tho whole number of the inetnn berB)?ayes 27, nays 63. ik ??

To aay that a person ia illy adapted to any employment ia as incor rect aa it would be to say that he in welly adapted to it. Ill adapted is the proper expression. Firstly is not an English word , fire* should be used. Secondly thirdly, etc., are correct. Tbo use of the word moat in* stead of almost is a vulgarism of New England origin. The Atlantic Monthly lately exhibited it in some verses. Nouns ending in ey form their plural regularly by adding a; as key, keys; moDkey, monkeys; journey, journeys; attorney, attorneys ; money, moneys. Ignorance leads some person to write atttorniea and monies, instead of the correct spelling. The word whisky has not e in it, and its plural is whiskies, no whiakeya. It would be correct to say that " it is not unlikely that Mr. Boutwell will be only to glad but it is incorrect to say that " it is not unlikely but Mr. Boutwcll will be only too glad or, " it is not unlikely but that Mr. Boutwell will be only too glad u it is not unlikely but what Mr. Bontwell will be only too glad." This last form , appeared recently in a prominent newspnpor. It it means anything, it means that " it is not unlikely except that which Mr. Boutwell will be only too glad"?which is nnadultratcd nonsense. W. D. Money, Money is a queer institution.?

It enables us to be charitable, to send Bibles to heathen and relieves domestic indigence. It gilds the rugged scenes of lite, and spreads over the rugged path of existence a velvet carpet soft to tread ; tho rude scenes of turmoil are incased in a gilt frame. It bids care vanish, soothes the anguish of tho bed of sickness, stops short of nothing save the grim destroyer, whoso relentless hands spare none, but levels all mortal distinctions, and teaches poor humanity it is dust. Thus wealth pauses on tho brink of eternity, and the beggar and the millionaire rest side by side, beneath the sod, to rise in equality to answer the final summons.
