ASoTHrR FALSE AssonrrIos PUT TO RssT.-Tbe
Boston dtia,, and come other prints, having in
situated that Mr.. Goddard the chief clerk of the
Department Of the Interior, had been compelled to
resign on account of political disagreement with
the present Administration, that gentleman has
felt it necessary to publish card which appears
in the Infsiiigoncr, in which he states that his
whole intercourse with the Secretary of the Inte-
rior, official and personal, has been OF the most
cordial and agreeable character; that his resgDa-
ton was in no way influenced by political reasons;
that it was wholly voluntary, and was made in tho
hope OF engaging in more profitable private pur-
suit that he decided this step months since.
and advised the Secretary Of his intentions; that il
was delayed by causes connected with his own per-
sonsl convenience, and that he leaves the Depart.
ment with feelings Of high admiration Of the char
acter of Mr. Stuart, and Of warm friendship for
him personally.

In complying with the request expressed in the
following note, with regard to the insertion of the
enclosed article from the Boston .Aila,, we have
only to remark that the emphatic compliment
bestowed upon it by the Boston (Aboltion)
Commonwealth appears to be fully warranted by
the temper and character of the statements In
volved. Our own views are known to be in
matter, and we therefore refrain from entering
further into a controversy not necessary to our
justification or that of our friends, and which
could not at present promote any useful object:

To The Editor Of ira Republic!
The Republic Of this morning contains the fol
lowing paragraphs
1.-THE Boston Aaas is thus complimentod by the
abolition newspaper, the Boston Commonwealth:
1.-THE dfins does not always speak in a why that
we can approve, but its leader OF yesterday is so
true and pointed that we reprint in full"
regret that you did not publish the article to
which the Commonwealth referred, and which il was
pleased to reprint The Commonwealth ia the lead
ing organ Of the Freesoil party in Massachusetts,
and | regard the Enforcement by that paper
of the article in question as one of the
most gratifying signs of the times. AS it
shows that even the Frcesoil party-7s party
which had it's origin in a sectional opposition to
the election OF General Tayloris opposed to "hap.
ing agitation rene,oed," and il Acknowledges that,
Gin regard 10 the compromne', NOT the least dssirs

Hoping that you will do me the favor Of reprint.

Saturdays proceedings in the Democratic Conven-
ton was erroneous in ascrbng to Mr.. McRae
the speech rendering the votes of North Carolina to
Franklin Pierce, and says the speech in question
was delivered by Mr.. James c. Dobbin. 1t will be
borne in mind that our reporters had ex,raordina-

fusion that existed in the convention, and the want
Of familiarity with the personal appearance of most
Of the delegates.

SLEEP-There is no better description
given Of the approach Of sleep, than thai
which we find in one of Leigh Hunts pa
pers in the Indicator: -
sit is delicious moment, certainly, that
Of being well nestled in bed, and feeling that
you shall drop gently to sleep. The good
is to come-not past; the limbs have been
jus. tired enough to render the remaining in
one posture delightful; the labor of the day
is done. A gentle failure of the perceptions
comes creeping over one the spirit of con-
seriousness disengeges itself more and more
with slow and hushing degrees, like a mo-
.her de.acbing her hand from ,ha. of her
sleeping child; the mind seems to have a
balmy lid closing ever it, like the eye-'.is
closing-'tis more closing closed
The mysterious spirit has gone to take it's
airy rounds.

and fall into the society of those whose
thoughts return 10 the shrine Of their early
vows and tell Of the white haired minister
and the question ever awakes tender recol-
Ieclions of him who guided my infant foot
steps, and checked my wayward youth
Yes, have father; and ! often think of
the tottering form tha. limps along in life's
decline, and which by cares oppressed, feels
for the couch where once did rest hear.
as free from care, young and warm, as stout
and strong, as full of idle thought and vain
imag ginings as mine.
My father Oh, wide are the steps that
separate thee from the gay crowd Of thy
youth fallen and moss-grown are the tomb
stones Of thy early friends storm worn the
| stones that mark The last resting-places Of
those who, with thee, bore the bur.hen Of
manhood! Gone are thy friends and day
after day is completing ife's brief span with
thee ! thy eye is dim with the dust of age !;
thy brow slrewn with the wrecks Of love
and trust, and scared by daily toll and care.
Thy cheek has lost the freshness of life's
bloom, the bronze of manhood, and now,
wrinkled and wan, settles sadly for the
tomb thy once elastic step ,rembles on the
floor where once it trod SO firmly and SO
lightly.
Father, thy friends are gone in the re-
gions Of the loved and los. they are; and
my aching heart knoweth, oh too well,
that thou also must soon slumber in thy
shroud! ! 60 from my valIey-home for a
.ime,-I return, your lineamen,s to trace
and oh, how changed! Soon thy feeble
footsteps will be efaced from the sands a.
round our cottage door! thy wonted sea,
will vacan. stand. thy book unfinished, re-
main unread! Soon Thy voice will be
hushed forever a. the family altar, and those
lips will cease to talk of bliss Ah all ,ha.
| mos. value here on earth ere long mus,
fade away, for
| s'The weight of many weary year
| Rests on my father now;
| And none but syery hairs appear
| Above his borrowed brow.''

friendly conduct may meet with an unwor-
thy, with an ungra.elul return but the ab-
scnce of gratitude on the part Of the receiv-
er, cannot destroy the self appreciation which
recompenses the giver. We may scatter
the seeds of courtesy and kindness around
US at little expense. Some Of them will
inevitably fall on good ground, and grow
up into benevotence in the mind of others,
and all of them will bear fruit Of happiness
in the boson whence they sprung. Once
bless are ell the virtues always; twice
blest sometimes.

ENERGY-WHAr 1T DoEs.-We love
your upright energetic men. Poll them this
way, and then ,ha. way, and they only bend,
but never break. Trip them down, and ia
srice they are on their feet. Bury them
in The mud, and in an hour they will be out
and bright. They are no, ever yawniug
away existence, or walking abou. the world
as if they had come into it with only half
their soul; you canno. keep them down
you cannot destroy them. But for these,
the world would soon degenerate. They
are the salt Of the earth. Who Sut they
star. any noble project? They are the salt
Of the earth. Who but they star, any 40
BILE projec.' They build our cities and rear
our manufactures. They whi,en the ocean
with their sails, and they blacken the hea-
vens with the smoke Of their steam vessels
and furnace fires. They draw their .rea-
su'es from the mine. They plough tho
earth. Blessings on them! Look to them
young men and take courage; initiate their
example; catch the the spirit Of their ener-
gy. Without life what are you good for, if
it is passed idly away? We should ever
measure thus lfe's employment.
