When forests are rcnIed;
Come not as the waves come
When nayies are stranded"

but come quietly, like family Of country
! people going to a camp-meeting, leaving the
masses unsiirred, and the city undisturbed

Such things are expensive. But come. The
attractions here are numerous. You will see
! things here all in one day that you would MT
see in a lifetime at Washington; among the
rest. a population that live by honest indus
r. There are many scenes about the city
worth sketching, and your artists will be
charmed. For instance, the view down
Deadcrick street from the Public Square is
one of the finest on the continent; while that

the market-hOuse. presents an array of archi
teciural beauty that is by no means to be
laughed at; though, we regret to say, it
sometimes is.

Patriot office. We may not happen to be
in at the time, but some of the boys about
the concern will show you up to the Edi-
terial Room, where you can amuse yourself

the Democracy about which there is no di-
versity of sentiment or opinion among them.
We cordially tender you the hospitalties
Of our office. which are said TO be princely.
But as our accommodations are limited. you
will pardon US for suggesting that you'd
better bring your blankets aud provisions
with you, which you can do without depart
ing from the liue of safe presidents, many of
the delegates to the Charleston Convention
having done the same thing. We would
also tender you the inequalities of the city.

we have no right to do it.
With the hope that you will accept this in
vitaiiou, and with the highest considerations
of respect for you aud all your relations, we
are-Lut one more word before We close. As
you are long way from home. and may be
