ties &C. Now let me ask you, Of all the great nation
al measures that have come before you, which one
has occasioned you the deepest the greatest anxietyf
General Jackson removed his pipe from his mouth,
laid il upon q chair by his side, and replied 'Dr.
Spring the wicked world, that don't look beneath
the surface could not understand or appreciate the
truth Of my answer, but you can; we have knelt and
prayed together and you know my heart. Others
might not believe me, but you will, when tell you
that notification the Bank, or no other matter, has
caused me so many sleepless hours since became
President as the unhappy division that has arisen
between the old and new school Presbyters of our
church. DIR. Spring was loaded, and he went home
and fired oin his Beekman street pulpit He told the
striking anecdote of General Jacksons White House
piety in conversation, and in six months thousand
pulpits breathed, in prayer and sermon, the anec
dote and the name of jackson. He is canonized
saint in the Presbyterian calendar"
Capital, Sam That is devilish good. Old Jack
son was trump card, wasn't he 7"
"You can do the same thing. The field is open;
and You losing your political friends by scores
you can redeem yourself now.n
Yes, but the Presbyterians are cut up 80 now /
don't know any great leader among them"
Hang the Presbyterians. Try it on with the
Episcopalians. I'll telyou who is your man-Bishop
Wainwright, Of New York. He has got three weak
points. He likes to circulate among the nobs, and
he likes good bottle Of wine, and he is he'll upon a
union of Church and State. Write him letter
with your own fist and ask him to come on here"
+" But don't know him."
" That don't make no difference. He knows you
are President and he is q Bishop. Write t0-m0r-
row, and he will be here the day after. Send your
carriage down to the depot for him, and give him a
good room for three days."
How can fix him right He has signed against
Nebraska"
That is nothing. Tell him what you like; he is
a bishop and you are President-both great men
in your respective lines. He is bound to believe all
you say. Keep your drinking friends outside, and
let the Bishop have full sway for three days-prayer
night and morning, and grace at meals. In about
three weeks the Bishop will start new party in
your favor, and in time Congress will be reacted
upon by religious pressure from outside-but leave
all that to the Bishop
Sam, I'll do it. 1t can't do no HARM"
"Of course it can't. It may save yon You have
reduced the democratic majority in New Hampshire
worse results will follow unless you follow in the
tracks Of Old Hickory, and throw yourself upon the
Church."
Consider that done, Sam. Now what else ?"
/" You might choke Henry Ward Beecher OFF,"
I'll do it, Sam, at any price. Tell me how"
Henry was a schoolmate of mine once, when
was sent to school in the town where his father, old
Lyman, used to preach, and know him well. He
would swallow chargeship to one Of the Italian
kingdoms without winking. He wants to go abroad,
and is anxious to follow in the footsteps Of Mr. Eve
rett. An appointment would suit his purpose. 1t
would be an opening. He would return and go into
spots out of Bill Seward for Beecher knows more in
one minute than Seward ever did or ever will know
if he should outlive Methuselah. Send Beecher's
name to the Senate. That is all you have got to do.
He has large congregation. His newspaper, the
hdeprndent, circuates 100000, and Uncle Toms
Cabin readers are hundreds of thousands. Buy
Beecher with mission, and you secure the whole
lot. Worth trying, eh!'
"Sam, you are jewel. You will never be taken
alive"
Il don't intend to be. / wish could hope as
much for you, Frank; but if you don't follow my
advice am mighty afraid that You will not only be
taken alive, but you will be skinned alive before your
four years are up, politically speaking" =
hope not, Sam, but the prospects ahead are
not f1attering."
"All your own fault Look what an Internal
nasty minority you have reduced yourself to in Con-
grcss. You have got hards and softs down upon
you. John Tyler had five members in the House Of
Representatives in his time. but am afraid you
won't have as many next year."
What can do, SAM"
GIVE been telling you all the evening that Gads-
denis treaty will pass the Senate, giving twenty
millions to Santa Anna to start more trouble
"What had to do with that!'
"You ordered it made.'
~ didn't I'll tell you how it was We didn't
want any treaty Of the kind. Marcy gave no in
structions for any thing Of the sort We sent out
man there, and he told Mr.. Gadsden what to do.
Marcy sent him out, but JEFF. Davis, unknown to
Marcy, gave those instructions which Gadsden car
ried out We were all thunderstruck here when we
found there was treaty. Marcy was more amazed
than any one"
"Of course, as JEFF. Davis is leagued in with the
railroad schemes he wanted just such treaty, and
he outgeneraled Marcy and obtained what he wanted
Well it will pass the Senate and there will then be
such an exhibition made as will make you wish that
Santa Annals whole body was with his lost Leg"
always dissatisfied Sam. Ever prophesying
gloom"
"And when L have prophesied has it not nva
riably proved conect?"
Never mind, my boy: the battle is not yet over.
must go now. Tell me- will you come and dine
with me when Bishop Wainwright arrives? You
will see some fun"
Eyes, provided Foney and his crony sinners,
are shu off,
"They shall be- and now, good night"
Good night"
