In the Federal army 6ul;ng tine late war. 55Ina-

Mr.. Raymond was man who never liked
to say mo-" and. as consequence, he was
one Of the "best bored men, in New York. The
number Of applicants for favors, political. So
cal and pecuniary, was immense. With the
first named he could be, and was, from prin-
ciple, more decided than with TIE others, but
for the latter class he ever held responsive
purse. He always had small regiment of
personal, pecuniary pensioners, whom he
would not allow to be driven off by his associ-
ates in the Office. His social bores, however,
were ths most persistent and Unsuitable.

were given up to them, and the valuable
time thus sponged from him was made up by

say, for many were charged to Mr.. Raymond's
private account. HFN T;sSl

War between the States, which le styles ssthe
worst and most culpable that ever took place
on earth. Our constitution, as made by the

cal achievements ever attained by genius and
patriotism. Had its principles Been adhered
TO- THE late terrible war would never have oc-
CURED, and the only hope now for, the present
and the future Of the country. ia to bring back
the Federal administration to the true princi
PIES Of the constitution. This can only be-
done by q virtuous, intelligent and patriotic
people, When bad men oonspire to impose
their usurpations outside the constitution,
| good men everywhere must comblret to keep
all such mon out OF power. This can only be
done by the publica alton Of truths and by
awaking IN the minds OF tbe people q sense of
the dangers which threaten them, and to arouse
them TO future action before it 10 too late.
The only proper remedy for all existing evils
and the greater ones which appear in the f,-
ture is ct the ballot box" Mr.. Stephens. knows
