The democratic party is to be organized anew, and It may be a greater task than we imagine. Do you know, sirj that s^me of our ben men have become demoralised ? Why, Air, we have men talking of dolbg away with nomlnatiqg conventions ; we have others proposing new plans, others talk of Independent candidates, others paying that it la Vail stuff any way. nnd that they intend to Vote as they please Independently.” Now is this the time for all this talk, and if such be the facts U it not very important that we organize as soon as possible, that we may begin tq s mend these weak places In our raoktj. flow the nomluating convention may not be the best mode of selecting.qa.- candidates, but; sir, it answered our purposee last fall ; we passed safely over upon If, and now Is there not danger in going to work to build upon another fdqndatlon, lest our enemies should take advantage and rcoroos.

His fishing propensity was illustrated by another anecdote. He returned, after tho war, to Camden, where his family was. His arm was disabled permanently by a wound in the shoulder. But the first view which one of bis brothers had of him after his return was character istic. H,e was practicing with a string in one of his hands,,his fqvorite, act, fishing from the piazza pt a hypotheti cal fl^h allured by an Imaginary bait, flut.jlshlng over the banisters did not satisfy him.
