THE Man FOR sms TINES AND THE PLAcx.-
A friend Of ocrs whose trembling steps are
fast carrying him down TO the grave, who
has no more ambition for power or place,
having filed the highest posts in the land,
paid visit lately TO the President elect. La
letter TO Us describing his visit, be arrives
1t the following conclusion: judging from
my former acquaintance With him, and from
all saw and beard from him and others, 1
left him with the impression that be is the
right man for tho times and the place in
which be will soon find himself" Upon the
question OF bis advisers, our aged friend
says: II feel assured he will make the prop
er select:on.'- Bait Patriot.
CHARntso SrDxissIvxSEss! The Presi
dents Washington organ :s getting along
rapidly in its disnnionism. Il 10 perfectly
satisfied tina, il il utterly useless for Con.
gress to waste ito time in idle discussions oil
the right OF secession, or Of the duty or en-
forcing the laws. Both Of these points are
already settled. "Nobody balieves,' saws
the Constitution, "thst anything that can be
said will influence the seceders !" therefore,
il adds:
1.-The part Of wis iom 10 to recognise the
assertion Of their right by secedipg States
TO aumi. unreservsdly that the Union, being
held together by ties Of interest and feeling,
cannot and ought not 10 be kept up by the
exercise of brute force-and 10 proceed to
the adjustment Of the matters in which both
sections have a common concerr.'
In other words, Congress il advised by
the Presidents organ 70 assent "onressrved.
~" to disunion. ard proceed 10 make the
best Of it.-[N. Y. Times.
