He is a innti of most cordial and genial mil a re, high-toned and generous in all his actions, and possessed a pure broad patriotism which embraces his whole country. lie is governed, however, too much by his impulses to be wise in the administration of a great Republic.. A. man pi strong, doop feelings is more apt to err than one without ench feeli' gs.? He naturally Buffers his feelings to get the better of bjs judgment. President Fijlufore declared that Jio Wohld not appoint to any office, cither a secessionist or abolitionist. He did this for the purpose of building up a great National Un on party North and South. lie looked upon both the other parlies as sectional parties, dipimiotiists in tact> and h# wished to destroy theiu as parties, to keep litem from destroying the Republic. In this, there w^is great w isdom, and great Statesmanship :u* well as good sense. President Pierce unfortunately adopted a different policy, and appointed avowed disunionista to office in the Southern States, and openly acknowledged abolitionists to office in the Northern States. This was done to gratify popular sectional majority, and had the effect ot destroying the true Union party No* th and Smith. All tho offices in the Southern States wore in a great measure filled hv secessionists and dis- 1 unionists. Good Union men. like (Jol. Grayson, wore turned out of office, to make room for secession- . ist6 like Col. Colcock. Col. Grayson was a Whig and C?l. Colcock was a Democrat. This policy alone gave an impetus to disunion, which nothing could stop. He called to his .Cabinet, disnnionists of the first water, and strengthened them as a party throughout the fii ill! \ w?rn Pi'cgidelit Pierce Raid to me that he had no desire to be President ot ihe United States, and that the American people had committed a great mistake in electing him their Chief. Magistrate. I did not think so then, but afterwards I became satisfied of thy truth of his remark. Lie did a great deal to hasten the outbreak of secession, and I resident Buchanan, by pursuing the same policy, completed it. It they had tilled their Cabinets with Union men and refused to appiont sectional men to office North and Sontb, the great rebellion, so call ed, Woiffii have been crashed out.

In conversation with a Sonth Carolina gentleman, President Pierce said, immediately after.hie inangnration, that if fie had lived in the South, lfe?ttOo> would have been a secessionist. : I thought this very strange language for n President',to it was an honest confession of his impulsive heart, and in character with the than.," He detested1 oppieasibp and wrong, ana thought that Nortiiern interference with our domestic in s itntions most tinwarrantable ? Under tlies6 wrongs, oppressions ? " ohm unr-4 imonces, ins ieeimgs, and not his judgment, would have con tro'led Id's actions. Sinco writing sketch of President Pierce, he has departed tlris life, and no Northern States man. has left behind him a reputation more endeared to the South. He was faithful to his political principles, inherited from htft Hcvolutionary ancestors, amidst .the faithless North, in our civil war, which denied to the Southern States, in their felly, the tight of selr government, at tliusacrifice ot halt a million of human lives. EDWARD EVERETT. I 6rst saw Mr Edward Everett at his own house, whilst President of Harvard O'Hlege. Mr. Poinsett liad given mo a letter of introduction to him. lie was then in feeble health. He was mild and soft in It is manners, showing a refined and most polished gentle man, full of varied information and extremely interesting in fconverpa Lion, llis pet60n seemed fragile. Ho Rlinlro nf flm niilll.int!/... the grape in the United States, und said it never could be success ful. Ho thought this: was proved by the history of China. Although the Chinese were a very industrious, pains-taking and ingenious people, greatly devoted to ngricnl ture through necessity, they had never been able to succeed to any extent in making wine. He said their climate wAa that uf onrs, and their country similarly situated. If the Chinese could not succeed in the culture of the grape, he did not think tho Americans ever could, ile said that the flavor of the grape in Europe was very dif fereot from that of tho same species in the United States. In speaking of tho rich lands near the lakes, through which I had just passed, on my trip to Niagara Falls, he told me that his father inlaw once owned all of thoso lands, had purchased them in tho early history of Now York, for a few cents an acre, and disposed ot them for a very inconsiderable sum, thinking they wore too remote ever to be saleable. These lands were then worth fifty and one hundred rlnllnrft rwi- iipi'h Sn/>!i lino ?

Mr. Everett was once a Uuita rian preacher, and 1 noticed lying open on his centre-table, a large audi magnificently bound Bible. For ntany years he was a member of Congress, Governor ot' the State of Massachusetts, Minister to En ?land. United States Senator, and befeiuent of Harvard College.? Since this visit to him in 1840, he was the Whig candidate for Vico1' resident. In one of. his speeches in the House ol Representatives, many years ago, and before Abolition was so popular at the North, Mr. Everett declared that ho would shoulder his nnisket, and inarch to the South to assist in suppress ing any insurrection of our slaves. Mr. Richard Yeadun, of Charles ton, told- mo that ho opc^ referred to this speech in the presence of [ Mr. Everett, and lie had, or atl'ected to have, forgotten it. i Wbbh tho ladies of the United States, nuder the lead ofitny friend, Miss Fatnclia Cunningham, ?>t i South Carolina, undertook to purI chase Mount Vernon.
