The Washington correspondent OF the New
York Commercial Advertiser tells the follow
ing pleasing incident "A matter of business
bad induced Joseph Gales, esq, to visit the
capftoi. He was accompanied by a young gen
ltlemah, and presume it was his FIRST visit dur
ing the present session of congress. l hap
lFencd to be present when, in the course of his
II lsalk, he entered the hall Of representatives. It
was, perhaps, half all hour before the house
was called to order, and there was the usual
bum Of talking and laughing voices. But the
moment his presence was observed, the remark,
there's Mr.. Gales went the entire round
and 4 general silence prevailed. Those who
were personally acquainted with Mr.. Gales,
went forward to shake him by the hand, and
those who were unknown to him begged to be
introduced. One honorable member went off
te inform the speaker of the unexpected visitor,
aad that gentleman came forward to present
HIS compliments, SO that in a short time there
was quite little crowd assembled around the
venerable editor. His step was as firm as ever,
and most dignifed, and as he appeared where
10 he unintentionally set good example to
many Of those who surrounded them )it requir-
Cd only slight effort of the fancy to imagine
that the earlier times Of the republic had re-
turned. Simple as was this incident, it was to
my mind full Of interest. II illustrated, ID j
beautiful manner, the power of an exalted char
acter. When men like Mr.. Gales command
the love, the respect and admiration Of all par
VS., there is no great danger that folly and
fatlatlcism will ruin the country. It's now not
Tar from half century since Mr.. Gales and
Mr. Seaton became identified with the National
lntelligencer, and | think it may be safely said
OF them that no two men in the land have done
50 much intellectual work as they, and of the
journal, that it is one of the most elevated and
influential of the age So intimately associa-
ted are these men with the history of this gov
eminent, that it is almost impossible for men,
bers OF congress to discuss any great questions
arising out of our past history, without turning
oyer the pages of that journal. A number Of |
The earlier presidents, if history is to be believed
did not deem it beneath their dignity to call at
the office Of educational Intelligencer for the
purpose Of consulting its editors, and few per
sonages in times past have been more familiar
with the staircase leading to their respective
sanctums than such men as Webster, Calhoun,
clay, Adams, Gallatin, and many others.
