in it, as the proudest II cord of his life
| The offices he had held sIfficed for his am

through scenes of anguish and peril. He
would relieve Mr.. VERSIONS mind as to any
aspirations for Office, by saying that he
would not accept the nomination for Presi-
dent, if offered by all the political parties.
He had higher and nobler duties His life
had been extended to sixty-fve years forty
| five of which had been devoted to his coun-
! try's service, which entitled him to an hon
orable discharge. Having performed all his
duties with fidelity he wished to retire to
| the humble home, where the absence of the
Injuries of health best suits his rugged ma
ture. He concluded with some severe, but
good natured remarks, which elected ap-
plause in the galleries, which the President
promptly stopped. tt

years ago, paid a partizan $3.50 for doing
The difference of $500 was assessed upon

what their effects were in other counties we
are unable to say. But the system of PEN
sioning party papers upon the public treas
ury by gratuities, in the shape of printing,
has become one of the worst species of pub
lie corruption and abuse one which the
people must arrest by their severest con-
demnation. Half of the partizan sheets in
the State are established for no other pur-

county treasures and the patronage of the

that feeds them is taxed to weakness or dis

puplic printing should be done as private
work is done, by those who will do it cheap

Senator Slidell, in tho Union of this

Douglas, saying there is a paragraph in it
which fairly admits the construction that
he had denounced me as calumniator, on
the authority of a statement imputed to
DR.. Brainard, without ever calling on him
to learn whether there was any foundation
for his. charge, when the event proves that
DR.. Brainard, if called upon, would have
shown the whole story to be a fabrication.
Mr. Slidell states the facts and circumstances
under which he made his publication on
the 18th of December, adding, "in my
