Afr. President IL am unwilling to leave the
United States without expressing to your Ex-
eellency the regret feel in departing without
having gone to Washington to make Your ac-
quaintance. Though an ill-fated destiny brought
me to America, | had counted upon reaping
great benefit in my new place of exile from the
society of her distinguished men, | wished to
study the manners end institutions of people
who have achieved more lasting triumphs by
their commerce and their enterprise than we
in Europe have gained by our arms. | had
hoped, under the guardianship of your free
laws to have Travelled over country which
exctes all my sympathy, from the fact that its
history and prosperity are intimately blended
with the remembrance of that which is glory
to Frenohmen. But imperative duty recalls
me to the Old World. My mother being dam
gerously i'll, and no political considerations
OBTAINING me here, go to England, and shall
from thence endeavor to return to Switzerland.
1t is with pleasure, sir, that | enter upon
these details with your Excellency, since you
may have given credence to the calumnous
surmises respecting me which have appeared
in sone of the public journals Holding you,
cir, in high estimation, as the ruler of free
people, am happy that you should know that,
with the name bear, it is not possible for me
70 depart tor an instant from the path pointed
out to me by my conscience, my honorand my
duty.
pray your Excellenoy to receive this letter
as proof of my respect for him who occupies
the chair at Washington, and accept the expires.

MURDERED BY LoBBYMEN-The Albany
IN. W Journal says that Senator John
.Doherty, who died in that city on Wednes-
day was murdered by lobbymen. That paper
says:
We charge directly, unequivocally, that
his death is TO be attributed to those friends"
who were interested in the Albany Bridge
Bill, and whose interest it was to suppress
the investigation. The Senator was on the
committee. Such men took advantage of his
weakness, bis genial nature and bis social
disposition. They encouraged. fostered and
forced a failing which has killed good men by
the thousands. They thus turned him from
bis duty and perverted his judgment as a
member Of the Investigating Committee.
When be sought to fee them, they followed,
when he gained refuge in his room and lock-
ed his door, they pursued, gained access by
the window and drugged-aye, drugged him
poisoned him with liquor, sickened him,
killed him. From their pursuits and applian-
ces-enemies in fact, but friends in guise-he
never recovered.

How TO GO THROUGH CRIsIs.=Mr.
Everett, in his second number in the Ledger
upon the Commercial distress of 1857, say:
No individual, however prudent, can place
himself wholly beyond the reach of those
frightful storms, that from time TO time burst
upon the trading community. with the fury
of typhoon, sweeping all before them to
destruction. But even in times like these,
the man who has eontented himself with
moderate gains. has kept his liabilities with
in his means, conducted his business on SUBJ
stantial basis, and eschewed gigantic specula-
tons, will be most likely to go through the
crisis rlnscathed; and in all ordinary cases be
successful and prosperous, in life; while those
who pursue the opposite course, strain their
credit to the utmost, and trade on a capital
far beyond their solid property, besides lead
ing life of splendid anxiety and ostenta-
tious care, are the most likely to be prostra-
ted by the first blast which sweeps over the
country. ri ff
