The Boston Herald recalls the in
faenee exerted upon q riotons mob by
the reading of a few Lines IRON Long
fellow. The Herald says; IN the SUM
sner Of 1877, acting Governor Stanton,
of Kansas, paid a visit to the citizens
Of Lawrence, that State. After par
taking Of the hospiialities extended
him by Governor Robinson, be ad-
dressed, bv request, q crowd OF some
five hundred ffeestatesmen, who did
not hesitate to manifest their disap-
probation at such portions Of his
speech as did not accord with their
peculiar political views. At the close
of his speech Mr. Stanton pictured
III glowing language the Indian tradi-
lion Of IIiawatha, Of The Tpeaee pipe
shaped aud fashioned by Gitehie Man
ito, and BY which he called tribes Of
men together, and, Ia his own language,
addressed them:
II have given you binds to hunt in,
have given YOU streams to bsb In,
have given you bear ana bison,
have given ypu roe and REINDEER,
have given you braHt and beaver,
Fili'd the marshes ftill Of wild fowl,
.Fill'd the river fun Of fishes;
Why, then, are you NOT e0ntehtedS 2
Why, then, viii you hunt each other?

Weary Of your wars and blQodshed,
Weary Of your prayers for vengeance,
OF your wranglings ana dissensions;
All your strength Ii in your union,
AL your danger is in diseord,
Therefore be at peace hepeeforware,
And as brothers, live together"
The application Of this question was
felt by the excited crowd, and those
who but moment before had muir
INJURED the lopdest joiued heartily ip
the unanimops applause that followed
tbe close Of The speakers remarks.

POLITICAL ASSESSMENTS.

Of late very warm discussion has been
carried on in the country over the attempt
of j. A. Hubbell, chairman of the Repub-
lcan congressional central committee at
Washington, to eXtort money for partisan
political purposes out OF the department
employees of the government. Bearing
upon this subject the following circular
from Daniel Webster will be OF weight:
DEPARTMENT OF STATE, March 20, Al.
To the Hon. Thomas Ewing, Sccr0 airy of the
Treasury!
SIR-The president is of opinion that it
is great abuse to bring the patronage of
the general government into conflict with
the freedom Of elections, and that this
abuse should be corrected wherever it may
have been permitted to exist and to be pre-.
vented for the future.
lie therefore directs that information be
given to all officers and AGENTS in your de-
partment of the public service, that parti-
san interference in the popular elections,
whether Of states officers or of officers of
the Federal government, and for whomso-
over and against whomsoever it may be ex-
ercsed, or the payment OF OF any contri-
button or assessment on salaries or Off.
cial compensation for party or election pur-
poses, will be regarded by him as cause for
removal.
1t isnot intended that any officer shall be
restrained in the free and proper expression
and maintenance OF his opinions respecting
public men or public measures, or in the
exercise to the fullest degree of the con
sttutional right of suffrage. But persons
employed under the government and paid
for their services out of the public treas
ury, are not expected to take an active or
oflieious part in attempts TO influence The
minds or votes of others, such conduct be.
ing deemed inconsistent with the spirit of
constitution and the duties of public agents
acting under it, and the president is re-
