the peruus times Of the 34th and seth Con-
gress. We well remember a little incident
in Tappan's room one evening, when few
of his personal friends were there having a
pleasant chit-chat. among them Grow of
Pennsylvanis, Colisx OF Indiana, Burliugame
of Massachusetts, Washburn of Maine.
Tappsn had before that prepared a
speech which he sent to Horace Gree

letter During that interview a letter from
Greeley came in which upon opening, read
as follows: "Desr Tappsn, your speech re-
ceived, very fine, especially the 'extrscts,

expense, read the letter to his friends, and ii
