that you are 10 the Cabinet Most cordially
do wish and anticipate that you may and
will gather fresh laureIs on this new theatre.
After my long experience, should not
complain OF the fate of war; but from the
signs of the times, It is evident that my
Pennsylvania friends, although they fought
the battle. are not destined to enjoy many Of
the spoils Of victory. i still entertain hope

who is an applicant for the District Attorney

noble, generous, whole-souled gentleman,
possessing legal ability Of high order. ASS
Democrat. he has been active, untiring and
enthusiastic; and believe has done as much
for the cause as any individual in the city and
county Of Philadelphia, with the exception OF
Judge Campbell. You might be pleased to
know that he sven scent ahead of myself in
his opinions on the subject of Southern
Rights. The estimation 10 which he is held
by the Bench, the Bar and the People, will
appear rom bis recommendations. I request

mics to prevail against him, il this can be
avoided. ,5--aihf gTru0J aaNAa-1
If you can appoint single clerk in your

fidelity and industry you may depend. But
IL this should be inconvenient, why there is
no harm done. = . sja,s.38 t0f sai9l'
