Rosy. who lived considerable dis
lance from his fathers house, SO
that the children seldom had an op-
Portanity of playing together
When he came home he ran to his
mother, saying,
20 mother, | have had such a
happy time today
''llave gu, any cilild?" said she;
q am glad Of it; wish you could
be happy every dayP'
$50 do /; but | n ever am as hap
py at home as l am when | go a
visiting. What is the reason, moth
er:'n
"There is a sufficient reason for
it, my child; and | want you TO
know what it is, butII would rather
you would find, it out yourselC.-
What do you think II is:?'
Il don't know, without it is be-
cause don't see my cousins very
oiten.n
That is only part of the rea-
SON."
swell, they must pc kinder, then,
than George and William and Sa-
rah, and the children that play with
u.s."
ooh dearl my son. that wont do.
Surely your Brothers and sisters are
not worse than Other children. |
can't think they are deserving of
such blame.''
"Well, don't know how it is,
but my cousins areI always more
pleasant and agreeable than my
.playlnates at home; and aunt Sarah,
and even uncle john are always in
a good humor and lively when | am
there, which max es Inc SO happy
that always hate to come away. .
ooh Albert, Albert, you make
Tie matter worse and worse: even
your father and mother are not SO
good company as yodr uncle and
aunti''
"No, mother, | didn't mean that
only that somehow or other |
am almost always happy when go
out On a VISIT
q see Unjust explain the reason
toyou, for you are not yet much Of
a philosopher. LII is true that when
you 60 to your Z pclf Johns you
are made happy, b caus e you have
not seen him or hi f4nily for some
time; and ii is true tSat they may
seem kinder on mpreIpleasant than
we do. But the ri asbn IS as much
in your conduct as others; for, as
you go among them ih a happy hui
NOR, they are made cheerful; and
then you do not all pwIl ittle troubles
to yex you, for you don want to APP
pear ugly when from home; you are
more obllgipg to your cousins and
playmates than you are to your
brothers and little friends With
whom you play every day; Iifs. they
want to play 18th their hoops you
are notobstlnate and say yJ u only
play at marbles with tileIh; if they
get into dispute and quarrel, you
don't allow your passions TO rise
for one side or the other, but you
try to make peace, foH you wish toI
have pleasant time with them -
Is not this the secret Of your haH pi-
ness when away from home'"
"Well, | never thought of it be-
fore; but may be it ISL
a know it is, Albert; al nd would |
therefore urge you to try and be as
happy at home as abroad; you have !
only TO be as accommodating and |
as pleasant with your playmales as
you are with your cousins

and Dunning. There is evidence that the latter
ceved any pecuniary benefit from the transaction The
land had been offered for sale auction after public
tice by Mr.. Bright and the best bid five hundred
dollars. The Legislature had fixed the minimum at
thousand dollars. Mr. Green offered pay that
amount, which accepted, the money paid and the IT,
tie of Indiana transferred, Mr.. Green rsking the de
ects in that title and taking the lands with all the lien
of taxes and ether incumbrances. Gov. Wright, in
much the money had not been paid by Dunnng into
the Treasury although had been rendered and refused
in bringing the matter to the consideration
of the Legislature.
The only question which could properly come before
the Judiciary Committee, whether Gov. Dunning
authorized to sell, and whether a sale had been
made in pursuance of that authority. The Judiciary
Committee, after full investigation thought the sale le
gall and the Legislature confirmed it. If they had
fused to confirm the SALE and had directed proceedings
be instituted it aside they would have incurred
the hazard of defeat with all the COSTS and then in the
mean time the State would have had the back taxes,
from 1913. amounting to several thousand dollars
pay With all these facts before them and the evidence
of State agent, their utter worthessness,
think the Legislature acted correctly in confirming
the sale. This is what the editor of the Journal who,
seems wished to get into the speculation himself calls
the /" grand swindle" Now think the grand swim
die when the Wing Fund Commissioners of Indiana
on the recommendation Of the Wing Governor of New
York. without authority of law, sold 'Brom Scherme-
horn Wing member of Congress, and his associ-
ates three hundred thousand dollars of Indiana bonds
without any other security than these wre-grass Gal
phin lands Admit the charges in Mr.. Ushers speech
to be true, admit all that has been said by the Wing
press be true, and the swinde sinks into utter nsg-
nicance compared to the grand Wing swindle by which
the State lost hundred and forty thousand dol
lars. Suppose the sale had been confirmed to Rochester
& Derees, five thousand, the State then must have
lost two hundred and thiry-fve Thousand dollars Take
their showing to be true and the State loses four
thousand dollars by the sale Green but by the orr
nal Wing transaction there is loss of the S235 600
above stated. Quite difference in favor of the Demo-
cratic administration. But to the value of these
lands, Mr.. Conwell and Mr.. Green may sell shares as
shares sold in the Gold Bluff in California or as lots
are sold in paper We predict that no man. after
seeing the lands will pay the years taxes now due
on them. Somebody, in the end will again be swinded
If Wing friends desire to review these swndles we
say on the documentary history of Indiana is rich
with evidence

which you pleased to suggest deemed by YOU
sufficient importance have the opinions of those
whom your note is addressed, distinctly and publicly
known upon,
take pleasure in stating to you, in reply to those
questions. that | present sufficient reason
for repeating altering those of the last Congress

experience however, you very properly suggest de-
velope the necessity of notifications should be disposed
TO act upon that necessity Having thus answered, as
believe, your first two questions permit me to say. in
reply to Your third that decidedly opposed to any
further agitation of the slave question in any FORM be-
eving that such agitation only tend increase the
already existing eaousies between the different sec.
tons OF this Union, and to give fresh strength 10 the de-
stracting causes which have already threatened it.
To your fourth question would say, that should it
unfortunately happen that choice of President for
this Union should he made by the people of these States
and the performance of that duty dtvolved upon that
body Of which might be member, the first requisite
Independent of the personal qualifications of character
and OF honesty in him whom could support for that
high office, would he soundness in democratic principles
II, however, with this he were known ready or
disposed reagitate these questions now apparently
settled, he could not, in that contingency, receive my
vote.
l need not, gentlemen presume, in answer to your
last question, say anything further than that and
always have been opposed to appropriations for schemes
oil internal improvement, unless clearly constitutional
and there is nothing which should be strictly guard
ed against than wasteiul expenditure of the public
money
Having thus hope, fully and freely answered the
questions which you have propounded, although
much at length | might have desired; your letter
seeming TO contemplate short and succnct reply from
those whom you addressed, permit express the
wish. that in your selection of candidate the ap-
preaching convention YOU will have in view the triumph
of your principles rather than the of your per-
