 The ghost of Achilles in the shades below anx- iously inquired respecting his son; and when answered that he excelled in glory, stalked away rejoicing. If the shade of the elder Washington should inquire of the spirits that daily arrive the realm of dsenthraled mind, 10 the occupation and condition of his JUNIOR now sitting in the old arn-ehar of the republic, what would be the joy of that venerated soul to learn that his mantle rested upon a being worthy of his illustrious name, and anxious to emulate his noblest qualities. But could such rrport be made in court where sophistry and special pleading not suffered to enter, and where sycophauts are excluded by the common law :? "Aye. there's the rub"
 The Roman Senate were frequently called to- gether to consult upon the best mode of dressing fish; and spicy speeches for and against sGuce, and sauey speeches for and against spice, circulated like cents at a country muster, through the corridors of the Capitol. This was at least innocent employment and had the public good In view-to-wit the price of fish aud the perfection of ecis. But what the cabinet of the second Washington can find 10 do in time of profound peace, at the White House, now that the chimucys are swept, the chickens all hatched and the furniture put 10 rights is more than we can conceive of-unless it he the delight iul employment of cutting off heads for the benefit of his friends: But if they go briskly they have for the last few weeks, they will have very little of this work to do and they may say, once said of Domitian. who had mortal tpathy to flies: ho (ssid some one) is with the Emperorl" No one in the room," was the re- ply; Non Quidsm masea-not even fly" Tho cabinet, however, are getting gradually used o their places and theH business. The high pitch of the east room bothered them for short time; and learu ing to ss gracefully at the green table in the Star Chamber in green shoes, came very hard at first; but now. we understand, they hold their spoons and sit as gracefully those who composed the ect dinner party after the manner of the ancients recorded In Peregrine Pickle-the part of Jolter by MT. Ewing; and unless question of wool--biack or white Is agitated, none of them fall off their tripods kick the table, spill the sill kickaby upon the Presidents corduroys.
 General Washington never permitted his cabinet 10 vote him down at his own table in matters where he, and he alone, was responsible. Washington never suffered Congress to make laws that he did not approve Of. by mawkish and senseless with holding of his VETO. Wushington never wanted TIME, for he had time for everything, and occu patton for every pulsation of time. Washington never called cabinet council to prescribe the fed eral officers in the States of the Union, beginning at sunrise and ending al snnset. Washington never declared that he was opposed to prescription, and then began 10 clear the offices with Zeal and de- spatch only equaled on one occasion, when a greater than the first or second Washington swept the multitude from the Temple of Solomon. Washington never joined the native American party, for he himself was once British colonel, commissioned by royal governor; and if he had joined such party, never would have appointed an Engllshman to the Patent Office to preside over American genius and American art. Washington never wrote Allison letter, and then acted in spirit so contrary to it's intent and meaning as to lead caBdid and honest people 10 suppose that he he'd never read it. Washington never waged cru. Sade against watchmen, messengers and other sub ordinates. Washington never gave an officer leave of absence 10 visit sick wife, and then, while the absentee by the bedside of his suffering com paniou, sent another, no matter how worthy, to take his commission, without message or line Washington never iBtimated .o any committee who waited on him to tarn out the Commissioners of Public Buildings, that he would not remove for political reasons; that he was the President of whigs democrats and Bativists; and. If they desired the removal to sisss their charges. and give the accused an opportunity of defending himself ;--and yet, almost in the next breath, suffered this Comms- slcner to be dismissed before even q charge was regularly made against him. Washington never appointed to important offices people who never @sre ht for thsif stations. and who dared to expect them until they were appointed. Washing ton never walked to his inauguration in GREEN saoEs; nor did he have JUvESAL to regulate his scuons, or 10 define the length of his state papers, in snort, " ashington was statesman as well us h'sary hero; and if he had little formality in his .@n"y and at his levees. h was because he deemed " uae ia his conatry. standing he did amoag the 'Suos oi the carth 10 be respected or despised as ", eni'dFen honored or neglected her.
