To lie Editor Of The Republic /:

To The Editor Of The Republic
must ask the favor Of you to allow a correc-
ton of a mistake into which you have fallen in
regard 10 the motives Of the controversy into
which have been forced by Mr.. Richie.
The Republic errs in supposing that conflict
Of feeling, having its origin in the division Of the
Democratic party created during Mr.. Folks adj
ministration, has the remotcst connection with
the controversy into which have been drawn
by Mr. Richie. Every member Of Congress
knows that have never entered into any Of the
feelings which have produced alienation-that |
have pursued the even tenor Of my way, sup
porting, as heretofore, the regular nominee Of
my party, and preserving, without a shade of
difference, all the intimacy and kind feelings
with which have been honored by members Of
both sections with whom my business for many
years has brought me in contact. | must do
Mr.. Richie the justice TO say that he is not ami
mated in his war upon me by any wish to in.
crease the differences in the party. lie has
found that the share he has had in producing the
breach has, by no means, tended to recommend
him to either branch, and he has seen, with re-
greet, and complained Of it in his press, that /
was sustained by all sides in both Houses,
while all his entreaties could not carry any of
his propositions through Congress, though
backed by influences which must have prevailed
if it had been possible to bear up and carry
along such load Of iniquty. No. there is no.
thing Of party conflict in the issues which Mr..
Richie has brought up in his warfare with me.
The sole motive Of his attacks on me-frst, Sc.
cretly and insdously, aid, at last openly. in
broadside of the Union--was the disappoint-
ment Of = pecuniary speculation, which the mere
existence Of my press in Washington, without a
movement on my part, most innoeently occa-
stoned Mr.. Ritchie's scheme in bidding the

Now the observer felt, az she looked on,

seen, and entreat her 10 be watchful, and
patient and faithful to the end, in her
lfe's work; for she had, herself, seen that
its results would all be known when those
golden books should be unclasped: that she
must not think any duty, which fell in her
way to do, trivial; for surely there was an
auge! over her right shoulder, or one over
her left, who would record il all.
Eager to warn her Of this, she gently
touched her. The traveller turned, and she
recognized, or seemed to recognize, herself.
Startled and alarmed, she awoke, and found
herself IN tears.
The gray light Of the morning struggled
through the half open shutter; the door was
aiar, and merry-looking faces were peep
ing in.

wish you happy new year.!
She returned the merry greeting bearti-
ly. She seemed to have entered on new
existence. She had found her way through
the mszes where she had been entangled,
and light was now about her path. The
angel ouer the right shoulder, whom she
had seen in her dream, had assured her
that her life work was bound up in that
golden book, and its final results would be
known-had assured her what was duty.
Now she saw plainly enough, what she had
not seen before, that while it was right and
impor,unt for her to cultivate, as far as she
could, her own mind and heart; it wns
equally right, and equally important for
her TO perform faithfully all those little
household duties and cares, on which the
real happiness Of her family moro directly
depended.
They had acquired a new dignity from
the records Of that golden pen, and they
could not be neglected without danger
Sad thoughts, aud misgivings, and nn-
gratiiied longings, all seemed to have taken
their flight with the old year; and it was

happy heart, that she welcomed tie uo~

THE EDITORIAL PROFESSION.

Mr.. Richie concludes his valedctory, OF
his retirement from the Washington Unioc-
with an address to his editorial brethren
Such an address from him is graceful and
appropriate. He is venerable for bis years,
and for nearly half century hss ranked
among the fret journalists Of the country
in point Of ability and influence. We wish
him all happiness in his retirement. Ad.

ways the press is Of inestimnble importa tancc

No man knows better than the retiring
editor Of the Union the difficulties, the sac
rifices. the drudgery which attend the pro-
fession; and yet il becomes you to over
come them all when your duty requires il.
You must, therefore, carry into your task
an indomitable spirit which quails under

the neglect Of your duties and the reproof
Of your own consciences. Yod shocld
