STEVENS AND CLAY.

i
To he Editors Of The Frank!ia Repository,
In another pg,, have lust read your late article
| on the Hon. Thaddeus Stevens and Cabinet ap-
pointment. One Of your suppostions is serroneous;
and as it attaches the odium of bad faith to de-
ceased statesman who has otherwise left behind him
an honorable name, the mistake should be correct
ed never was an admirer of Henry Clay as a
statesman my interference in his favor with not
therefore, be suspected Of partially. ] was the
main if not the only agent between the friends Of
Mr. Stevens and Gen. Harrison the occasion al
luded to in your article, and my testimony should
have some weight In offering the following state
ment / depart from rule long adhered to-that Of
not troubling the public with explanations of the
past But in this case am perhaps the only per
son now living cognizant of the whole facts, and
therefore feel compelled to do justice to the name
of one of our most distinguished men.
After the presidential election of 1840 it seemed
to be conceled that Pennsylvania entitled to
representation in Gen. Harrison's cabinnet. A
number of gentlemen, who had been prominent in
the campaign, met in Harrisburg and after CONSUL
tation, agreed to demand the position for Mr.. Ste
veus. Measures taken to place the matter be
fore the President elect, and l. being Chairman Of
the State Committee, was charged with the duty of
urging it.
| Gen. Harrison was subsequently waited at
Cincinnati and though the probability Of failure in
the application even then began to show ITSELF yet
by his own special request, a final interview was
agreed to take place the beginning of the follow
| ing February, at Washington.
In the latter part of January was at the seat of
government, in order to be on the ground before his
arrival and to ascertain the movement of the diff
ferent cbainet interests. By the advice of my i'm
mediate constituents, and with letters from some of
them to him, ! first called on Mr.. Webster, who it
was then well known, would be the Secretary Of
State, and made known my business. His aid had
been strongly relied on in our favor, as thought,
for good reasons. But the interview was unpromis
ing. He was quite sparing OF words, aad very for
NAL. This was then so obvious, and his coldness
subsequently became so plain that had you written
Marshfeld instead of ashland y when indicating
the person who defeated the expectations of Mr.
Stevens friends, you would not have had the troub-
lie of reading this letter.
But be this as it may, Gen. Harrison did not ar
rive in Washington till well on in February; and
while waiting | made, for the first time, the ac-
quaintance Of Mr.. Clay he was then looking
ahead to the Presidency and treated me with un-
expected consideration having doubt ascertaned
my mission, as well as my relation to politics at
home The first conversation was at his own quar-
ters, and by his own invitation. 1t was somewhat
prolonged, though most oitwaS on mere general mat
ters, for ! had neither authority nor sufficient
ground on which to attempt to interest him in my

DAY DREAMS.

/ have been unduiy ambitious,
With hopes it is hard TO forget
Such day-areams are all too delicious
To vanish and leave no regret.
Hopes, like the mirage in the distance,
To win the bright ohaplet Of fame,
10 leave, pass from existence,
a worthy and wide honored name.
Dreams only; their death-kneH is ringing;
Proud heart, to thy destiny come;
Thou fain wouldst be soaring and singing
Sink down and forever be dumb
To fetter the soul with q burden
OF longings it never can tell,
And grant It no loftieF guerdon
Than failure-0 God is it welz
IT'S we'll for such lessons compel Us,
A loftier standard to raise:
He can but be selfish and jealous,
Who lives on the incense Of praise.
Such lessons the stars might h6se taught Is,
As round ns their glamour they fling
such lessons the Aow'rets have brought us
On every sweet zephyr Of Spring.
III deserts and solitudes lonely
The flowers refuse not to bloom;
Though heedlessly tsampled, they only
Yield sweeter and richer perfume.
The stars--.we walk under them nightly,
And muTmur accent of praise:
They beam Us none the less brightly
Nor dream OF withholding their rays.
So shine, noble souI-ever giving,
No heed TO neglect or to strife,
Content with the glory Of living
true and a beautiful life.
For being is nobler than seeming
And fame is perishing toy;
And doing is wiser than dreaming,
And culture is nobler than low

The PRESIDENT Story TO THE PEACE CoxMIs-
sIoSERs. IF we may believe the New York Herald's
correspondent, the following story told by Mr. Lin
coin to the rebel commissioners, when they said the
passage of the constitutional amendment would be
an obstacle opeace:
There is an old farmer out in Illinois who had
made his arrangements to raise alarge herd of hogs;
he informed his neighbors that he had found way
to raise cheap pork. This excited the curiosity Of
his neighbors, and they asked him how he was go
ing to do it. The old farmer replied that he should
plant large field Of potatoes, and when they had
got their growth would turnthe hogs in and let them
dig and eat, thus saving the expense of digging the
potatoes and feeding them. "But, y said his neigh
bors, 'the frost viii come before they are ttened
and in all probability the ground viii be frozen.

somewhere anyway, and may well rootaway there

ANECDOTES OF GRAsT.-In the first action N
which Grant commanded, bis troops at first gained
slight advantage over the confederates. They be.
gan to plunder the Confederate camp in spite Of all
that Grant could do to stop them. At last Grant,
who knew that confederate reinforcements were
coming up, got some of his friends TO set FIRE to the
camp, SO as to stop the plundering. Then he got
his troops together as well as he could and retreat
ed; but in the meantime, the confederate rein
forcements came up, attacked Grant, and defeated
him. There were FIVE ColoneIs under Grant who
had not by any means supported him effectualy in
his attempts TO stop the plundering and collect his
troops. Mr.. Osborn saw Grant day or two after
wards, when he expected to be deprived of his COM
mand on account of the defeat. He said 'sWhy do
you not report these colonels? They are the men
to blame for not carrying oat your orders' "Why,"
said Grant, Sthese officers had never been under
fire before; they did not know how serious an affair
it was; they have had lesson which they win not
forget. viii answer for it they will never make
the same mistake again. I can see by the way they
behaved in the subsequent action that they are of
the right stuff, and it is better that should lose my
command, if that must be, than the country should
lose the services of FIVE such officers when good
men are scarce. Grant did not lose his command
and three oas of the FIVE officers have since greatly
distinguished themselves. The day before Grant
attacked Fort Donaldson the troops had had march
of twenty miles, part of it during bitter cold night
Grant called council of war to consider whether
they should attack the fort at once, or should give
the troops day or two's rest. The officers were in
favor of resting. Grant said nothing until they all
had given their opinion; then he said, HThere is
deserter come in this morning; let us see him and
hear what he has to say?" When he came in Grant
looked into his knapsack. ''Where are you from?'
''Fort Doneison." "Sx days rations in your KNAPP
sack, have you not, my man?'' ''Yes, sir. ''When
were they served out?' Yesterday morning.
.Werethesame rations served out to all the troops?n
"Yes, SIR Gentlemen said Grant, troops do
not have SIX days rations served out to them in
fort if they mean to stay there. These men mean
to retreat, not to 6ght wewill attack at once" He
did attack the confederates, defeated them, and took
large number of prisoners. Edinburgh Scotsman

Trick OF AN EsoUIMAUx DoG.-0ne day, in
feeding the dogs, called the whole of them around
me- and give to each in turn capeln or small dried
fish. To do this fairly used to make all the dogs
encirce me until every one had received ten Of the
eapeins apiece. Now BaEbekark, a very young
and shrewd dog, took il into his head that he would
eeived his fish, he would back square out, move
distance Of two three dogs, and force himself in
line again, thus receiving double the share of any
other dog. But this joke of Barbekark's bespoke
too much of the game many men play upon their
fellow beings, and, as noticed it, determined to
check his doSgish propensties: still, the cunning
and the singular way IN which he evidently watched
me, induced . moments pause in my intentions.
Each dog Thankfully toVh has capelin as his turn
came round, but Barbekark, finding his share came
twice often as his companions, appeared to shake
his tail twice thankfully as the others. a twinkle
in his eyes they caught mine, seemed to say
"Keep dark, these ignorant fellows don't know the
game I'm playing. / am confounded hungry"
Seeing my face smiling at his trick, he now commen-
ced making another change thus getting three por-
tons to each Of the Others one This was enough,
and it was time for me to reverse the order of
Barbekark's game by playing trick upon him.
Accordingly every time l came to him he got no fish,
and although he changed his position rapidly three
times, yet he got nothing. Them if ever there was
picture Of disappointed plans,-of envy at others
fortune, and sorrow at a sad misfortune was to
be found ON that dogs countenance as he watched
his companions receiving their allowance. Finding
he could not succeed by any change of his position
he withdrew from the circle to where was and
came tn me- croyVding his yav between ,1 leos and
looked up in my face as if to say, II have been
very bad dog Forgive me, and Barbekark will
cheat his brother dogs no more. Please, sir, give
me my share of capelins. went the rounds three
times more, and let him have the fish, as he had
shown himself so sagacious, and SO much like a re-
pentant prodigal og.-Cdptain Hall.

The only true way to shine, even in this false
