PARIS, May 4, 1857.
Ny last letter pretending to touch upon current
French literature was dated if l rightly remember,
April Q. Mypenultimate one on that theme was dated
July 1856. Myreadng tune for the past four weeks
has been spent in diligent perpsal of tite-pages,
heads of chapters, occasional half pages and book
sellers catalogues. My purpose was to bring up
the long arrears by inventory record of the lite
rary movement of the past ten months. Here fol-
lows then, the skeleton chronicle: it is not COM
plete even as skeleton. must cOn6ne myself to
the main tones, and present them very dryly.
And first, in history, which is to-day the best
cultivated field of high literature in all countries,
and especially in France. The fifteenth volume of
Thierss great work was noticed in my last We have

THE SEXTON.

Nigh 10 grave that was newly made,
Leaned a sexton old on his earth-worn de;
His work was done, and he paused to wait
The funeral train through the open gate;
A relic of by-gcne days was he,
And his locks were white as the foamy sea
And these words camo from his lips SO thin,
''lgather them in! Igather them inn
gather them in! for man and boy,
Year after year of grief and Joy,
I've builded the houses that lie around
In every nook of this burial ground.
Mother and daugcter, father and son,
Come to my sol itude one by one
But come they strangers, or come they kin,
II gather them in! | gather them in"
Many are with me, but still I'm alone
I'm king of the dead-and make my throne
On monument slab of marble cold!
And my sceptre OF rule is the spade hold.
Come they from cottage, or come they from hall
Mankind are my subjects-all, all, all!
1etthem loiter in pleasure, or toltul spin,
II gather them III! gather them in"
, gather them inland their final rest
Is here, down here in the earth's dark breast
And the sexton cease .i-lor tie funeral tram
Wound mutelv over that solemn plaid;
And said to my hear., when time is told,
A mightier voice than that sexton's old
Will sound DER the last trump's dreadful din
~ gather 1hemin gather them in"

The Crawford County Forum commenting on
the late default and the cause thereof, in Ohio,
says: .....
We wrote and published the following article
on the 31st day of August, 1856, when Mr.. Glib
son was a candidate. 1t will do to read now:
W. H. GIBSON.
"Ths gentleman is the Know Nothing Aboli-
ton candidate for State Treasurer and is now on
sumping tour throuhh the State We have
always looked upon him as socablc clever
fellow, personally, but one ofthose kind of men,
who, politically speaking, are totally void of
principle. In his speeches he takes particular
pains to abuse without stint his political oppo-
nentS, and toinpreSs upon the minds of his
hearers that no one is halfso honest as him
self His speech in this place was a perfect IT,
rade of abuse both towards our national and
State administrations. lie used the terms
knave and fools with a hippancy peculiar to
blackguard speakers. lie has a reputation for
popularity which he does not and never did
possess; if he has, he certainly would have sue
cecded in getting some office, as he has been
standing candidate for years in his own coun-
ty. We learn from Wing who lives in the
same town with Mr.. Gibson that he will not
carry the Wing strength ofhiS own county, for
the reason that che secured his nomination by
corruption, and wishes the office for base pur-
poses" 1t is well known that Mr.. Gibson is
one of the heaviest stock holders in the Seneca
Co. Rank, and also in the Tillin and Fort Wayne
Railroad. Until about the time time he was
nominated for State Treasurer he was Presi-
dent of the aforesaid Railroad Company. For
tn 81 AXE ofkeeping down suspicion he resigned
the Presidency of both these institutions and a
personal and political friend filled his place.
From what we learn Of this Senaca county
| Wing, we judge that the people Of that county
honestly believe that Mr., Gibson's only object
in seeking the office of State Treasurer, is to
get the use of the funds of the State for Bank
and Railroad spcculations. No one doubts that
if he is elected he will make his bank the main
depository of the funds of the State thereby en-
abling that institution to doa heavy and profit
able business with the peoples money This
money can also be used IN the construction oI
his favorite Railroad project, If this is not the
design of Mr.. Gibson why does he seek the Of
fice His salary as President ofthe Bank must
have been greater than the salary paid the State
Treasurer; and his salary as President of the
Railroad Company must have been as great il
not greater. Why did he resign both these Of
fees, for the purpose of being candidate for
State Treasurer? There are no particular hon.
ors attached to the office that he would think
sufficient to seek after. We think the people
of the State should think ofthese things as some
n of Mr.. G's old political friends at home do, and
guard against corruption let it come from what
ever source it may" "' p.
