John G. Rives on his Ancestors.


Senator Mason abused John G. Rives during
. debate in the Senate few days ago. He
characterized q circular addressed to Senators
by Rives as s'infamous. insolcnt and intrusive. I"
Rives had informed the honorable Senators
that they could not have the opportunity Of
making one speech in the Senate xnd printing
another in the Globe. Nycs responds to the
naughty Virginian thus:
He-wc judge from his manner, and from a
sketch Of his life lately published in Harpey's
WeeHy-ie very proud Of his ancestors at the
further end of leng line, while we are proud
that We know nothing ofours be yond our grand
fathers, one Of whom came from Prince Georges
County, Virginia, and the other from Raleigh,
North Carolina, and settled in Franklin County,
Virginia, where we were born. The former,
our paternal grandfather, was named Frederick
Rives, and followed the business Of farming
and the latter was named Cook-we do not
recollect ever 10 have heard his Christian name
and followed the business Of mending and
cleaning watches. We do not know whether
or not either OF them ever had q brother OF sis
ter; but suppose, at this priting. they ioerc both
tAeir fathers children. Our immediate father was
u WAGNER, and our mother spinister. They
left US in our childhood when they died, with
nothing but the naked globe to 60 upon and
we have made the most we could out of it, in
an honest way. We are PROUD in the belief
that we know no relatives of ours. nor ever
heard Of any, who we believe know, or ever
knew, more than we do, or ever made good
living in more honorable way than We have
done. We have never asked TO be introduced
10 man or woman. If We had business with
either, We introduced Ourselves. Our poverty
in eaxly life caused us to be unobtrusise and
we can not get clear Of that early habit. and
would not II. we could We consider all honest
men our equals--none our superiors. This u
written to inform members why we have not
soughs their acquaintance. When we have
business with them, or learn that they have
