To TIE EDITORS OF THE CoEUIER =
In my last, believe | took my leave
of the senate. but there are one or two
other pictures want to draw here before
we return to the House, and perhaps now
will be a good time.
On the west side of the chamber you
viii see a tail, slim. gray CARED man sit
ting at the outer table. lie takes much
interest in the affairs of the Legislature
and often speaks. When he does. You
will find his ideas carefully expressed. hut
he is rather slow and labored in his deliv-
cry. He is strictly honest main. and in
tends 10 do about what is right | take
him to be a man of strong preiudices. and
it is rather hard for linn 10 change his
opinion after they are once formed. He is
what should cali a very persistent. and
perhaps | may say particular man. In
private life | should think him to be q
very pleasant sort of a man, hut somewhat
dieniied. ard repels familiarity. In the
register | find his name recorded as Levi
Cram, OF Cumberland, whose brother.
Marshall. is a member of the other branch.
Nearly opposite him. on the ether side,
is one OF the Senators from kennehcc,
Joseph \. Sanborn. who participates con-
sidcrablY in the debates OF this body and
yields considerable influence. When he
speaks, he reminds one of an honest old
farmer talking in a sehoulmcetin-. He
goes straight forward, without regard 10
oratorical fiourisheS. and says just hat he
means. He is. should judge. a kind
hearted man, social with those with whom
. he ! acquainted. but distant and reserved
! with strangers one OF those men who
j,nrrnye mon acquaintance.
