SrENoHY.-Several complaints re-
specting the condition of the canal
basin have been made to us, that
should have been made direct to the
Committee on Nuisances, appointed
by the City Council. 1t is represent
ed that all sorts of villianous sub
stances and compounds have been
thrown into the basin, which contains
but little water. and that the stencil
arising therefrom is exceedingly of
fensive and disgusting, and calculated
to engender disease. 1t is to be
hoped the matter will receive the at
tention of the proper authorities.

REBELS IN CONVENTIONS.-The
Radical papers continue to rage about
the presence of eX-rebclS in the New
York convention, and to argue from
their IpreSence that they made the
platform. For that reason they call
upon Union soldiers to oppose it:
Now why don't they spit upon the
| Chicago PLATFORM and cali upon
Union soldiers to oppose it for the
same reason Ex-Governor Brown,
of Georgia, who seeded from the
Union and seized the Government
forts, &c, and who was so fond OF
seeding that he tried to Secede from
the Coutederacy, was Il delegate to
the Chicago convention. More Of the
" red handed besides him were en-.
ployed in getting up the Chicago
platform and nominations. They did

Ny DEAR SIR-I am greatly
obliged for your favor of the 18th

Those who suppose that I do not
acquiesce in the work of the National
Democratic Convention, or that l do
not sincerely desire the election of
the nominees, know very little of my
character. Believing, as l verify do,
that the preservation OF ConStitu-

on account of myself.
/ never sought its doubtful honors
and certain responsibilities merely
for the position.
My only wish was to promote, if l
could; tile good of the country, and
to rebuke the spirit of revolution
which had invaded every sacred
precinct of liberty. When, therefore,
you pronounced the statements in
question false, you did exactly right.
" Principles and not men," is the
motto for the rugged crisis in which
we are now struggling:
Had l been made the Presidential
nominee, l should have considered it
tribute, not to me, but to the
principles which l had proclaimed
and practiced. But, shall l cease to
revere those principles, because, by
the Judgment of mutual political
friends, another has been appointed
to put them into execution 4? Never,

ments, whatever interested parties
may say to the contrary and | de.
sire that all may know and under.

l shall ever hold in grateful re.
membrance the faithful friends who,
hailing from every section of the
Union, preferred me by their votes
and other expressions of confidence;
both in and out of the convention
and l sail do them the justice to
believe that they were governed by
patriotic motives; that they did not
propose simply to aggrandize my
personal fortunes, but to serve their
country through me; and that they
will not now suffer anything like
personal preferences or iealOuSies to
stand between them and their mani
fest duty.

CONSTANT EMPLOYMENT.

! The man who is Obliged to be constantly
employed, also, for moral and mental culture,
kaows net tie. happiness h prays for when
he desires wealth and ilIeness To be con
stantly busy is to be always happy, Persons
who have suddenly acquired wealth, broken
up their actual pursuits, and begun to live
at their ease, waste away and lie in tt very
short time.
Thousands would have been blessings to
the wotlG, and added to the common stock
of happiness if they had been content to re-
main in an humble sphere, and earned every
morseI of food .bat pourished their bodies
by the sweat Of ,leir brows. But no, fash

they were completely ruined. They ran away
from place and pleasure, embracing lingers

aud spIendor Of life, beware ton know not
what you wish. No situation, however ex-
allied, no wealth, however magnificent, no
honor however glorious can yield vol solid
enjoyment while disyOntent turks in your
bosom
The secret of happiness lies in ths-to be
always couttnted with your lot, and never
sigh for the splendor Of riches or the mag
nfccuce Of fashion aud power. Persons
who are always busy and 60 cheerfully to
their daily tasks, are least disturbed BY tho
fluctuations Of business, ana at night sleep
with composure. The greatest evil that
could have beln entaiIeL upon the negroes
was to free them without pro4id.ag employ
ment and to allow them to 20 to ou: large
towns and cities, where their votes would be
available, and they would be dcluded by the
idea that property would be conferred upon
them, and they woul1 be s-ppor'ei by
the government in their idleness, or attain
to some high political position. The great

LETTER OF sz.ssi. GLOVER, ESQ.
ST. Louis, July 13, 'GS.
Maj. CENT Hancock:
DEAR SR-I deem it proper to
direct your attention to statements
made by the Radical press to the
effect that you are greatly dissatIs-
fed with the results of the National
Democratic Convention. The object
of these statements is to create an
impression that you do not acquiesce
in the judgment of the convention,
and that your friends do not, and in
Seymour and Blair will
not have their cordial support.
| wish you to know, General, that
/ have taken the liberty to pro-
nOunce these statements false, and
to assure those who have spoken
with me on the subject that nothing
could cause you more regret than to
find your friends, or any of them,
less earnest in supporting the ticket
which has been nominated than they
would have been had your own name
stood in the place of Mr.. Seymour's.
[ am, very sincerely, your friend,
S. L. GLOVER.
