the following: ave have intelligence
direct from Toronto, Canada, where Gen.
Breckenridge is now residing. he says
that his health is good, but that care is
making its mark upon the handsome and
intellectual face with which nature
blessed him. -Four years ago his hair
was black as jet; now it is hoary, He is
weary Of exile, and anxious to return to
his home and friends. In the hope of
accomplishing this end, Ex-Gov, Price,
OF New Jersey, a warm personal friend
and colleague of the general in the Con-
gress Of the United States, previous to
the late war, has proceeded, or will
shortly do so, to Washington, and have
interview with the President. We
trust that the President viii accede to
the request. His relations with Mr..
Breckenridge, prior to the late political
arrangement, we're quite friendly, if not
positively cordial. Besides, there is no
charge against Gen. Breckenridge as We
aware Of. All political prisoners,
two, have been released from con-
finement. Mallory, Stephens, Seldom,
Hunter, Judge Campbell, all except the
President and Judge Clay. Why keep
Gen. Breckinridge in exile? Wecan see no
reason for so doing, and, doubtless, the
will consent that he msy re-
to his home, his family and friends"
