Why should an American buy q foreign Watch,

Why should en- American needlesslJ enrich

own artisans?
Why should n American senG gold to Eng land
and France, our covert but bitter enemies. when
gold Is so much needed at homer
Why should an American buy an imported
Watch, which, In nine cases out of ten, will cost
more to keep order for ne year, than Its orgi-
nal price, and which was never intended to keep
time under any circumstances?
Why shoul1 Americans not pAtronizs more

Mrs. Lincoln's Ball.

The Botton Journal publishes letter which
IL says was written by one of the most widely
known and distinguished gentlemen In Wash.
ington, himself for may years resident Of
that city, and universally esteemed for his
sound judgment as well as for his kindness of
heart. We make few extracts
/ regret exceedingly that Mrs. Lihculn's
hospitable assiauities to crafty the multitude
OF strangers drawn together in the capital by
the interest Of the war, should have been so
misconstrued In the press. It was certainly
not her purpose to turn the deep, earnest feel
ing Of the nation engaged In the grand effort
OF crushing the rebellion and restoring the re-
public, into the frivolous pursuit of pleasure,
and to run itself out in dances and balls.
There was no ball or dance at the White
House, and surely the attempt made by Mrs.
Lincoln to admit the throng Of brave and dis
tinguished patriots and their wives and dsugh-
ters to the civilities Of a repast at the Presi-
dents house, TO make the Acquaintance Of each
other and the public ofhcers engaged ii the
civil administration, under circumstances
making it notable and agreeable, ought not to
be considered as mere frolic and amusement.
Gen. jackson acted on the idea that all
those who came to Washington, and were
really the representative men of the country,
whether in or out of Congress-civil or mill.
tary men-were entitled to the courtesy and
hospitality of the President. These could not
be extended even to the numbers who came to
Washington in his day through ordinary din
ner invitation. He, therefore, filed his house
occasionally with large evening parties, and
the large room for dining was spread for a
grand repast, constantly renewing, as the
guests filling the table one time receded and
opened the way for another. The old man
told me that he had left his farm with an outfit
Of Ave thousand dollars, and he left for his
Hermitage again with barely enough of his
500, 900 salary to pay his expenses back. He
felt that his salary was meant to enable him
to perform his executive functions, and to &C.
company their discharge with those attentions
toward the public personsges of our and other
nations due to them and those they represent,
according to the customs Of all civilized coun-
tries. From Polk down to Buchanan the suc-
Tcessors Of Jackson have thought their pay was
meant merely for their own emolument.
Mrs. Lincoln intended to invite on success
sive occasions all our army officers and their
friends and visitors in Washington, but after
the notes were out for the first, her children
sickened, and she had to receive her visitors
en- the third night, and then the death of one
and watching by his side and with the other
has broken her down. She is indeed most
unhappy, broken-hearted woman. How cruel,
then, to misrepresent and persecute her in the
newspapers, when she made a sacrifice of her
feelings and exhausted her strength and means
to do what she thought her duty and what So
ciety e1pected-nay, solicited from her.
