INTERESTING LETTER.
The writer of the following note, Deacon
Joseph White, formerly of West Boyston,
now of Winchendon, has long been favor
ably known in this country. He showed to
us the original letter from the Rev. MIR. L.,
which we publish below. We do not give
the name of the clergyman, though it has,
as we perceive, already gone forth TO the
public in connection with some remarks
which he made at late meeting of the as
ISOLATION of clergymen of which he is a
member.
Our readers will here find the testimony
of this highly respectable and devoted min.
lister, coinciding with the multiplied proofs
from various quarters, wherever Gen. Tay'
lor has been personally known, concurrine
in his pure and lofty character. In all that
constitutes man Of worth he is not only
above reproach, but he deservedly holds g
rank for character among the noblest mer
the country has produced. The more we
learn of him, the better he stands. Hi:
friends invite scrutiny, because with forty
wears of public life now spread before hi'
countrymen, he can stand the test.

WIRE WORKERS.

SIS SECRET INSTRUCTIONS TO THE
WIRE WORKERS.
Translated from the Original by
ODE oILsToNE, JR,
Ye friendly hnnkers; locos, all,
thankfully accept your call,
And as your loving candidate
My views and feelings freely state.
And first Of all my thanks are due,
For the distinguished honor you
Have in your wisdom thought it fit,
To place on one OF feeble wit.
Your resolutions | endorse;
Astrdc OF them take the course,--
The constitution as my guide
III towards the white house hugely stride,
And should reach it I'll surrender
My guide>board to your mercies tender:
For it has been so much abused
or latter years, whenev used,
That I've notion 10 proceed,
Without its aid and do the deed
That others have been aiming at
Assume the crown-so take my lat.
This letter is the last you'll see
Or hear from me your nominee;
Henceforth, until November ides,
Mum is the word ,hatll save our hides.
For should we deign TO answer all.
And ready wait each beck and call,
These pesky Wings would quiz and ply Vi
With questions tall, perplex and try US,
Until at length we'd get SO tangled,
Our hopes would be like kittens strangled
But now as I've been on both sides
or every question that divides
The parties each so wide asunder,
Just bottle up your surplus thunder,
And when you enter the campaign
In every district make it plain
That I'll approve Of all they wish;
Whether it be 10 give to fish
A pair OF wings so they can fly
Transmogrify them when they die,
Hop toads 10 feather, chinches Danish,
And cause hard times to quickly vanish;
Mosquitoes bills to curtail some,
Or turn branch water into rum;
Insure the moon against the mice,
II it be green cheese, in trice;
Make hickores in mid water peel,
And steamboats, run without keel,
And thus avoid being snagg'd;
q never like to be out bragg'd;)
Old maids get husbands bachelors wives
And each one that for which he strives.
I've forty years in Office been.
or course I'm reeking stepped in sin;
But then the democratic pool
Will wisdom give to any fool:
Fatness impart unto the lean.
A plunge will make the foulest clean.
bid you all long farewell,
Perhaps the last cannot tell,
As Rough and Ready's booming on
fear the scep.re's going--ooNE.
When this you read be sure to burn it,
Else some one might to mischief turn it.

A Beautiful Er,ract.--What if people do
speak against you? Let them feel that you
are able to bear it. What is there gained by
stopping TO correct every word that is
whispered TO your discredtl Lies will die
fIet alone, but if you repeat them TO this
one and another, because your enemies had
the imprudence to make them, you keep the
fire burning and open the way for dozen
slanderers. Keep your course, 90 straight
forward, and trouble not your head about
what is repeated, and you will feel all the
better, and wear less frichtful face.

No 1874, of the. House Of Representatives.
I'd session, %, Congress, in which the rea-
der will see what was then the opinion of
Mr.. Henry A. WISE respecting Lewis Cass,
nor the nominee of a portion of the So
styled Democratic party for the high office
of President of the United States. The doc
ument relates TO an inquiry into the admin
istra,ion of the Executive Departments
Aler. Gazette.
Mr. Wise being under oath, testified as
foows--
Il believe that LEWIS CASS, Secre,a-
ny OF war, was engaged IN speculation IN
the public lands while Secretary of War;
that he made exorbitant allowances TO ia
vorites, paid one for services never perfor-
med another, after he had full knowledge
that the favorite had forged his signatures
permitted commissions under him TO be ante
dated: and has ordered treasury warrant
to be paid to the assignee of disbursing
officer who gambled it away, after it had
been protested by deposit bank, and was
countermanded by the Secretary of the
Treasury; and to havn been guilty of sew
eral other acts of violation of duty"
