IHGO :
Gentlemen?It would !,c in v? in :lint I
shoulp attempt. to express the gratification,
which I have deiivcd from your letItr
of tho 25th ul imo. That gratification
arises, not only fro n its manifesta- (
lions of personal regard ml confidence,
but especially, from the evidence which it
affords, that my public conduct, in regaid
to important pending qii?s?ions, in not
altogether ditapp'oxed by the people of
Massachusetts. Such n loiter, with such
names. assures me, that I have not erred
in judging of (he causes of existing (lis
conti-ntn, or their proper remodv; mid enconnives
me to presevere in th.it course,
wliicli my di'opcst convictions of duty
linve l'-d mo to adopt. The country
noeds pacification: it needs the resto-i lion
of Yiutunl respect nnd harmonv, h??tween
the people in one part of the Union,
nnd those in another.
And. in mv judgment, there is no sufficient
cause for the con- inu incc of the exi
ring alienation between the Nfo-th and
the South. If we will look at things
justlv, nnd calmly, there i< no es<en in)
ilifFot'nnnflo niiUni* ?%f
which are irreconcilable, or incapable of
adjustment. So fur >is the question ??f
sin very applies to thenewlv aeqwi ed te-ritories,
there is, in mv ju fame 1?, no real
and practical point of importance in dispute.
There is not, and cannot be slavcrv,
as I firmly believe, either in California.
New Mexico or Desert. And if this be
ho, why continue tho controversy on a
mrtre abstraction? The o'.her disturbing
qucttjona rcsp< c's the restoration oi fuj?'ti'
laves, and silvery ia the District ef
Columbia: and I know no 'eji^on wliv insf.
nnd fair muasurtf-i, nil within the undoubt<>d
limits nnd requi sition* of the ''onstifuti-?i?
might not be adopted, which should
give, on tho.ic subjouts, general satiifaction.
At liny rate we should nuke tho n-?

interrupt the quiet of th?* pe< pie,

TOMB OF NAPOLEON.
The author of 'Etchings of a Whale

An Englishman some years bince vi.-i
ted the tomb at St. Helena, nnila dited
in iho register n verse on the ex-emperor
to this eft ct:
Bonny was n great ninn,
A m>1 lier brave an 1 true;
But WeUii>g*?n tli 1 lick hlra at
Tlie field of Watorluo.
This was iot in very good taste, not
exactly such an idlusion as an Englishman
s'. ould he guilty of at the tomb of a conquered
foe. Neverthelfsa it contained
nn indisputable truth. A Yankee visited
the pla- e soon after. J)e'ermined to
punish the braggart for *?> illiberal and
unmanly an attack on the dead, he wrote
immediiu-ly under ir:?
Buf greater still, ami braver far,
Ami toucher than shoe-leather,
Wa? Washing^oii, a m >n wh it could
Have licked 'em *11 tiwntber.
The'rext visitor was n Frenchman,
who, like all his court* iy, was deeply i1
tached to the memory of Napoleon,
i When he laid read t.l>* first lines he exj
ol limed witfi looks of horror and disgust,
'Mon Dieu! Quel sacrilege-! <Sans dunte.
les An^l ;is sontc grand Cochons!' The
Yankee &kipp*rB addition next attracted
his eye. Re started as he re"d,gasping,
ifiinned and read the lines again then
gashing his h?ir, dashed shout the room
