A VOICE FROM THE GRAVE. Silas Wright in
a letter to friend in Monroe Co., under date
Of April 18th lS47, thus speaks Of Lewis

,ions for civil administration. Some brave
aud successful soldiers have those qualifications
in perfection and some have not single one
Of them-but IN civil situations are wholly
destitute of moral frmness. Our friend Gen.
Cass is one Of then,-a good soldier in his day,
but afraid of his own shadow in civil Office,
and perfect time server and dclnagogue.
