NATIVE CANpIDArEs-lt appears that the natives
are in dilemma in Boston. They compel gentle
men TO state in the pablic prints that their "names
are used without their wish or consent" as can
dldates for aldermen This is probably to keep the
municipal affairs Of that city in the strange state Of
confusion that theyar now in.

CoMPLIME NTARY CoNcERT-NEw MODE OF RAIs-
ING THE WIyp-We notice by an elaborate adver-
tisement in several newspapers, that the editor of
weekly journal, published some where about the
city, is to have grand complimentary concert
given him, by number of musicians and members
Of the musical profession,
This is certainly very curious and funny mode
Of raising the wind. We recollect, however,
precedent. in the case Of our friend Gen Morris,
who had complimentary benefit given him, by
which lie pocketed probably $1,000. The new candi-
date ought undoubtedly 10 reap the same amount,
II he has any wants 10 meet. We must say, how
ever, that If the editor of weekly who per-
haps writes only one or two notices about music
for his paper, is to have $1,000 concert we think
daily editor ought 10 have at least half dozen
rolled into one-or they write a great many daily
and profess deep admiration for The fine arts
generally. The daily men don't care anything
about these complimentary concerts, however, for
they do think ii about the meanest way OF rails
ing the wind that could be invented. There is not
more deserving set Of men in the community
than tho artists but they poor, and are more in
want of business than any Of the fat and indoent
editors about town.

The ROMANCE OF HIsToRY-THE LAST WAR
For sometime past, the American public has been
amused by a controversy which has been going on
between the Hon Charles J. Ingersoll, the auther OF
the History of the Late War, Commodore Stewart,
Mr. Coles, and Mr.. Gallatin, relative to the ques-
ton whether il was the purpose OF the executive
government 10 lay up or not, the navy, during the
last war.
Mr. Ingersoll, it seems, has published in his
work on the Of 1872, that there was Cabinet
counsel held for the purpose Of celebrating on the
propriety Of laying up the navy. This is substan-
tared by Commodore Stewart, Who alleges that he
and Commodore cambridge addressed letter to
President Madison at the time, demonstrating
against the proposed measure. On the other hand,
Mr.. Coles, who was for many years Secretary 10
President Madison and Mr. Gallatln, who was
member OF the Presidents Cabinet at the time
both come cut and declare, that no such measure
was ever thought Of, or submitted to the Cabinet
by the President
Thus, then, the parties who ought to be the best
acquainted with the matter are diametrieally op-
posed TO each other. While Commodore Stewart
asserts that the proposition was before the Cabinet
and that he demonstrated, by letter, against the
measure, Mr. Galatin, member Of that same
Cabinet, in as strong terms, asserts that no such
proposition was deliberaed upon by the Presi-
dents Cabinet. Here we have a sample of the
romance Of history, and the reliance which ought
TO be placed upon its valuable statements. Here is
an important public measure, which was acted
upon little over thirty years asoifit was at all
and which is in the remembrance Of many living
al the present time, and still the survivors, those
who had the best means Of knowing, are actually
divided upon the question whether the measure
was even ever proposed or not.
What confidence can be placed in any history,
after this signal discrepancy among men of the
highest honor and intelligence 7 Is not all history
half romance!
