RecOrder.-The next is a letter.
To Ills Excellency w. H. SEWARD
Dear Sir,-Haviug taken some interest in the ap-
pointment Of Mr., b. Glentworth to the ofice
which he holds, and understanding that there is
disposition to remove him, it may not be out Of
place for me to say something on the subject. Mr..
G. was from "a to '35, close political assoc
foand him very efficient coadjutor. He like
myscH was 4 ceceder from the Jackson ranks;
and assisted to form and organize that body Of
the rank and file party to whose excrtions more
than to any other the present predominancy Of the
party is attributable And had always supp ssed
that his extraordinary exertions were founded ON
principle. A person thus situated, and whom va
have known to be faithful, and who had been re-
warded for his services with Office, should not
in my humble Judgment be dismissed. upon Idle ra-
nor, or without proof Ifpsrsons have made ehargss
against him. and understand they have, vitality af.
fecting his repItatioa and which, true should net
only produce his removal from Office, but consisn
him TO everlasting disgrace they owe to it, to you,
to themselves, to the party, and above all, to Mr.
Glentwerth, to substantiste them, by irreiragable
testimony admit their faisity to withdraw them.
have, self, heard various rumors respecting Mr..
e.; but have not as yet been able TO find any
evidence Of their truth; and is serious matter to
dismiss from Office one whom yourself had appoiAt-'
ed, and who mad been intim Iteiy connected with the
party and closely conversant with its operations
from its first organ xation) and should not in my
humble judgment be done unless you shoud be far
nished with indubitabie evidence of faithlessnesss
incapaeiy, treaehery, or character.
have the honor, Sc. f,4

Having known Mr.. G. under the same circum-
stances those referred to by Gen.-D
most fully concur in the suggestion contained in his

the State Committee, and Committee of Arrange
ments repaired to the stage erected in front of the
Court House, and while the countless thousands were
pouring in and arranging themselves around the
stand, the Revolutionary soldiers more than one hun
urea OF whom were present, came forward and were
introduced to the assembled people. 1t is needless
to say how cordially they were received. There was
no bounds to the enthusiastic demonstrations of
Joy and gratitude. Several of these patrlarchs ad-
dressed those around them in brief but touching strains
of eloqucncc They spoke of their country, its early
history its struggle for independence, its present
dition-of their own tolls and suilcrngs-of their be-
loved WAsHiSoroN and in the funcss of soldier $
heart, each bestowed an old mans blessing on the
gallant HARRIsos. "Grapple him to your heart with
hooks of Steel" said one old man. with sivered locks
and iaterng limbs, " for he is brare and a good
man. The several ages of these veteran worthless,
