TO see VIVA, shape the Kansas question
would take place in Congress, that |
might be enabled to give you some views
IN relation TO the probable result.-Noth-
We, has been accomplished. But | am
satisfied that in the end Congress will take
efficient measures Ia lay before the Amer
can people the exact truths concerning
your affairs Neither YOU nor can
have an, doub, what verdict the people
Will pronounce upon truthful exposition.
1t is TO be feared. from the proclamation Of
the President, that he intends to recognize
the usurpauon N Kansas Is the legitimate
government aud that Its sedHlon law, the
test oath, aud the means TO be taken to ex-
pei its people as aliens, will all, directly
or indirectly, be supported by the army
OF the United State Your position will
undoubtedly be difficult but you know
have great confidence in your tirmness
and prudence. When the critical mo-
ment arrives ,on aust act for yourself
no man can give you counsel. 4 true
nan will always find his best counsel in
that inspiration in which coed Cause
never halls 10 give hun at the instant OF
trial. All history teaches us that great
results are ruled by wise Providence,
and we are bn, UNITS in the great pan.
\ oaf actions will be determined BY events
rs the, present themselves; and at this
distance | can only say tina, | sympathisa
cordially with you, ard that, as you stood
by me firmly and generously, when we
We're defeated by the nulifers in CaIifor.
na, | have every disposition to stand by
Yet III the same way IN your battle with

lou see that what have been saying.is
more reply TO the suggestion which
seuE condition makes to me, than any
answer 10 your letler-whch more partlc
ular.y regards myself. The notices
which you had seen OF me, IN connection
with the Presidency, came from the par.
tial disposition of friends, who think OF
me more fla,terncly than do Of myself
and do no. therefore call for any action
from US. Repeating tina, | am really

INTELLIGENCE OF ADEAr MUTE

A pupil Of the Able Sicard gave the
following extraordinary answets:-
"Wha, IS gra,itude?'
Gratitude is the memary OF The heart.
What is hope"
Hope is the blossom Of happiness.
"What is the difference between hope
and desire9'
Desire is a tree in leaf; hope is a tree
in flower !; and enjoyment is a Tree in fruit
What is eternity p
"a day without yesterday or tomorrow
a line that has no ends
What is time p
a line that has two ends; path which
begins in the cradle and ends in the tomb
"W hat is God ?"
The necessary being, the sun of eter-
nifty, the mechanist OF nature, the eye OF
Justice, the matchmaker Of the universe
the soul Of the world.
Does God reason!"
Man reasons because he doubts he
celebrates he decides; God is omnis-
cieut he knows all things; he never
doubts he therefore never reasons"
