number of the New York Ledger:
TO A POLITICAL OPPONENT.
send thee, Greeley, words CT cheer,
Thon bravest, trues', best Of men;
For have marked thy etrong career,
AS traced by thy own sturdy pen;
I've seen thy struggles with the foes
That dared thee to the desperate fight,
And loved to watch thy goodly blows
Dealt fer the cause thou deem st the right.
Thou'st dared to stand against the wrong
When many faltercd by thy side;
In Thy own strength has dared be strong,
Nor on anothcrs arm relied.
Thy own bold thoughts thcu'st dared to think,
81 Thy own great purposes avoNcd;
And none have ever seen theS DGE5S 3
From the fierce surges Of the crowd.
Thou, all unaidcd and alone,
Did'st take thy way in lite's young years,
With no kind hand claeped in thy own,
No gentle voice to soothe thy tears,
Dut thy high heart no power could tame,
And thou hast never ceased to feel,
Within thy veins sacred fame
That turned thy iron nerves to steel.
know that thou art not exempt
From all the weaknesses Of earth,
For passion comes to rouse and tempt
The trues. souls of mortal birth.
But thou hast we'll fulfilled thy trust,
In spite Of love and hope and fear.
And cen the tcmpcst's thunder-gust
But clears thy spirits atmosphere.
Thou still art in thy nnrhood's prime,
Still foremost mid lily fellow men,
Though i. each yoar--o all thy time
Thou has compressed three score and ten
Oh, may each blessed sympathy,
Brcathcd On thee with tear and sigh,
A sweet flower in thy pathway be,
A brigh. star in thy clear blue sky.

No Permanent National Debt,

The London Times exhibited more
than its usual degree of intelligence in
treating of American topics when it
said:
Apparently the Americans are ncv
or tired of docking into their affairs. !"
We ourselves have accounts of a very
similar character to keep, but We put
l,theH ollt II sialat # NOT oat-of mind
Perhaps not one Englishman out OF
fifty can say, within ten miillons or so,
what is the amount of our national debt,
whetherit is rising or falling indeed we
hardly know how the information is to
be acquired except frcm the state
| ments annually made by the chancel-
lor ofthc Exchequer But the Amer
leans won't keep their skeleton in the
cupboard. They take it out on the
| first of every month and put the bones
together, and count the joints, and go
through the whole articulation with
fextraordinary precision and relish. A
dozen times year, at the very least,
our own kilograms report the exact
dimensions, weight, and tendency OF
the American debt just as certified by
authority with its increase or decrease,
as the case may be, since the last stock
taking 4 week or two before. Some
times the figures seem to go up, some
times down; but they are displayed to
the whole nation in black and white,
and with an official certificate of accu-
racy. The meaning of all this is that
the Americans do not look upon their
debt as we look upon ours. They are
determined not to regard it as per-
mancnt burden. We, having learned
patience under our load, are content
to provide the interest annually requir-
ed, and have the principal to take care
of itself. In point of fact, some of our
most liberal statesmen have been dis
tinctly opposed to any reduction of
the debt when opportunities were off
cred. Mr. Golden, for instance, main
tanned that it would be far better to
reduce taxation or simplyrcvenne than
TO bring the amount Of debt down by
million or two, and the opposite
school, represented ny Mr. Gladstone,
can hardly be said to have prevailed to
much purpose in giving effect to their
views. But Americans of all schools
appear TO concur in a doctrine exact
ly contrary. However much theymay
differ on other questions of financial
policy they are all onein assuming that
the pubic debt cannot be left as it is.
It must be gradually reduced and ul-
tlmately extiuguished. The citizens
of the Union are not going to carry
this clog about them forever.

The Russian Emperor Oh Caste.

The following dispatch from Cassius

Secretary Seward, will be interesting
to our readers, and instructive to the
| white population of the Southern
States
LEGATION OF THE UNITED STATES,
ST. PErERsBuRG, Russia, Feb. s, 1869.
SIR Captain T. Morris Chester,
late Of the United States army, being
in St. Petersburg, coming we'll recon-
mcnded by distinguished citizens OF
the United States, and being also well
educated and of good address, l called
upon the Minister of Foreign Affairs
and told him that / would not apply
in the usual way, by note. to have Cap
tain Chester, colored American citi-
zen, presented to His Imperial Majes-
ty, as there was no precedent, and /
did not know how His Imperial Majes-
ty would be disposed to act; but | dc
sired that he would approach His I'M
perial Majesty in an informal way, and
ascertain his wishes in tins regard. The
Assistant Minister OF Foreign Affairs,
Mr.. DeWestmann, acquiesced in the
proposal, and in q few days wrote me
that the Emperor had given orders to
have Captain Chesters name put upon
the list of persons for the first present
alton. To-day being the occasion of
grand review of the Imperial Guard,
tho Emperor sent up an invitation to
Captain Chester, to assist inthercyiew,
which he did, riding around with his
His Imperial Majesty's staff, and tax
ing lunch at the winter palace, with
the staff officers and portion of the
Imperial family, who accompanied the
Emperor at the lunch.

You, as I regard the affair of some I'M

all good citizens to try and elevate the
African Race in America, and inspire
them with all possible self-respect
and prepare them for that ultimate in
iiuence which they must sooner or
later have upon the political and econ
omical interests OF the United States.
These are the views which have iniiu-
onccd my action in this case, which, not
partisan i'll their character, I should
hope would be satisfactory to all pat
riotic Americans.
Having, however, discharged my du-
ty, as ever do, without regard to
personal considerations, l submit my
action frankly to the judgement of the
Department. lam, my dear Sir, your
most obclicnt servant.
