Dear Cassius.---"Does your anxious mother know
you're out4" feel myself compelled to ask you this
important question: on account ofthe extreme verdany
displayed in your last communication. Can it be pos
sibe that you my friend and pupil in the noble science
Of elecioneering, could for moment have 'miscon-
ceived my vews in writing the letter Of which you SO
bitterly complain? Are you not sufficiently up TO snuff
10 know that circumstances alter cases, and thai the
letters Of pnblc men, must always be shaped 10 meet
The exigencies OF the time? When you went as mis-
sonary to the north for the purpose of whinninghe sup
port Of the libery men" to our ticket, entertained
strong hopes that the object your mission Would have
been acc6mplised without injurng the cause al home
But TO use your own expressive phrase, al our cakes
are TUNED to dough- and the extreme ardour with
which you wooed the Abolitiouiss lost me ten thou
sanl votes at the south for every one it gained at the
north You WIN therefore see, that was placed in
peculiarly perplexing predicament {"
Between the two stools OF Slavery and abolition was
every moment in danger Of falling to the ground and
the rascay Locofocos looked on with malicious grin
upon their counenances rejoicing my distresses and
laughing at my miseries. What, then, could dot
felt that representation is the first law Of nature"
and therefore cut you publicly in order to prevent my
southern friends from cutting me- But be it understood
between us, that though have publicly disowned you
inprivae entertain towards you the strongest feeling
of gratitude and admiration In fact, my dear Casius,
though don't feel disposed at present 10 Gg upon our
relationship consider you perfect trump, and if you
will only play your cards little more discreety, we
shall hold the aOning hand and you will receive from
me, as reward for your devoted service a mission
more pleasing and profitable than any which you have
hitherto undertaken.
P.s. Our prospects are becoming gloomy. The
"Star of the East has been terraby obscured Though
have tried to seem "all things 10 all men, earI shalt
be nothing to nobody. Cassius, console yourselfiu
aiction by the reflection that you have become mar
yrlo the cause of friendship and remember whenever
you see any of our friends little down at the mouth 10
Congratulate them upon the result of the August and
lseptember elections" 30 .1 i7.s ty af

Goeridge. Nothing can be more eloqnent-nolanS
more true. F
"Call not that man wretched, who whatever else he
suffers as to pain inflicted, or pleasure denied has
child for whom he hopes, and on whom he dotes.
Poverty may grind him 10 the DUST obscfy may cast
darkest mantle over him, his voice may be unheeded
by ihpse among whom he dweIls and his face may be
unknown TO his neighbors; even pain may rack his
joints and sleep flee from his pilow-but he has gem
with which he would not part for wealth defying com
putaon, for fame lin8w worlds ear, lorhe sweetest
sleep that ever fell on mortal'seye.
