latters prosperity and eliminating political
prospects; and that he was not impOrtunate
In his demands, but left MI 20 the recollection
Of grateful appreciation, is the more to his
credit. Though disappointment followed dis
appointment, The letter shows That the philos-
opher of Tie drab coat bore il Ike a man; and
only when be ceased 10 hope, and bitterness
had curdled his patient temper, he announced
TO his eminent friend that their partnership
was dissolved.
There Is a chapter IN political history to
which this episode, in our own day bears
some resemblance. When Henry Clay be-
came Secretary Of State under John Quincy
Adams, he was applied TO by Amos Kendall,
then a Western editor and very poor man,
for subordinate Office. He had advocated
the claims to the Presidency Of Mr.. Clay,
with all his energy-had been a member OF
his family in the capacity Of teacher OF his
children-was Of funquestioned integrity and
undoubted capacity, but his application was
overlooked; and whatever claims be had on
the great man memory, disregarded, He
from that time became Mr. Clays implacable
political foe, and at the head Of the "Argus Of
Western America paper Of influence in
the then West opened battery on the Ad-
ministration and Mr. Clay, which did great
damage, and led the way to consequent dis
asters, which resulted in Mr.. Clay neverreach-
ing the Presidency.
It may be too much to say that the indus
trious opposition Of Horace Greeley prevent
ed the nomination Of Mr.. Seward at Chicago,
and precluded all hope of securing the Presi-
dental chair, which was the ultimG hule Of
all his aspirations; but momentuous events
have sprung from as insignificant causes, and
it is beyond question, Mr.. Greeleys deter
mined efforts against him whose ears were
filed with cotton when he was in want con-
tributed to the result which brought back the
poisoned chalice TO the lips Of the New York
statesman.
Will the lesson be lost2 Or will it be held
in remembrance by those who are hereafter
elevated to eminence through the instrumen-
tality of those who labor for the political
press2 It was a large element in Gen. Jack
sons success that he never forgot his friends.
While he never would and never did concili-
ate his enemies, he never turned his back up
on, or ceased to remember with grateful ap-
probation, those who befriended him. Grat-
itude is as essential feature in the chFacteI
of a great man, as any other quality and
preserves as large an army Of admirers as
conciliation can hope to win from the other
side; and ingratitude, we are told, stings
with an acrid venom worse than a sepents
tooth

Our CoURr.-The business of Court
for the past week, up to our going to press
yesterday, was almost exclusively occupied in
civil business, as far as we could learn. The
trial of Rutledge for negro stealing, took place
yesterday morning, and resulted in a verdict
of guilty. This man was imprisoned in our
jail Some two years since on this charge, but
he walked out one night, and staid away un-
til recently, when he was re-arrested and
brought back. His wife, poor woman, and
an interesting daughter about twelve years
were present, forming a sad picture. A true
bill for manslaughter was found against Joseph
Houssieux, for killing Alfred Brown-as also
against B. F. Bats for killing NJ. Hebert; his
trial takes place Tuesday.

1t is generally believed here in the
best informed circles that the Commit
tee on Credentials will report in favor of
the Soft Shell delegation from New
York, headed by Dean Richmond and
Peter Cagger, and against the Hard
Shell delegation, headed by Fernando
Wood.
1t is, moreover, stated that a very
large majority of the Soft Shell delega-
ton stand ready to vote for Douglas.
1t Is also stated that the committee
will report i'll favor of the Douglas del
egation from Illinois.
As the double delegation from Geor-
gia, though it cmbarrasscs the Convcn-
ton, it causes less trouble inaSmuch as
there is more harmony of opinion in re-
spcct to the principles on which the no
mination is to be made.
The Alabama delegation will stand
firmly by their instructions, and demand
a platform that guarantees, without any
~equivocation whatever, the protection
of slavery.
The Kentucky delegation are unani-
nous in favor of Guthrie, though they
will present the manic of Breckenridge,
should he seem TO be the choice of the
Convention.
The Tennessee delegation say they
will stand by Johnson to the last, ac-
cording to their Instructions, though it
is believed they will quickly go for any
other man who seems to be the general
choice.
