Grout has made mistakes in appointments. the question arises, would Col. Hooker be likely 20 do any better: Would the people of his own town be better pleased with a post master of his selection than they are with their own choice. Put the Colonel in the Generals place and you will have the same howl over bad appointments. only it will come from another set, and there will be lacking the knowledge of affairs which the General has gained by his eight wears ser. vice and which gives him and through nm the state, position far in advance of that which could he secured by any green hand No, the Colonel tells us the Young men should stay in the state, raise good horses, make good farms and show the world that Vermont Is next door to para disc as place of residence We want the colonel 70 set US the example CITY life. especially Washington life, has too many temptations We would dislike to have the Colonel exposed TO them

The editor of the Burlington (Vt) Rerielp, who was formerly an associate of Mr.. Kenward Philip, gives some interesting "reminiscences of that emf ncnt practical joker which throw some light the probable origin OF tho Morcy letter. Mr.. Philip, It appears, Is a man who has no scruples about play. ing any kind of mean dishonor0ble trick on his friends, and 1t cannot be expected that he would treat his enemies any better. The Re. rie,C gives several specimens of his practical jokes. one was to invite q number of re- portcrs to costly dinner at restaurant and dis appear ius' before the time came to settle the bill. The result was that the guests left 10 pay for the night before he left the Brooklyn Lnion on which he had been managing editor, he told the repOrtorial force that he had secured for them q handsome increase Of salary, and the reporters In gratitude, dubbed together and bought him handsome watch. In day or two they found that, instead of an increase they had to submit to a reductions but by that time Philip had secured the watch. When he was married he asked brother journalist to lend him dress coat for the ceremony, and succeeded In getting not only the coat, but a whole suit After the ceremony he pawned the clothes and sent the ticket 70 his friend. All these ecccntrcitcs they were such good sells" and 80 capt tally done" But 1t will be noticed that Mr.. Philip always played his jokes in such way as to benefit himself and came perilously close to what pl al spoken people would call dishonesty. Altogether his character, as described BY one who claims to know him well Is that of u COOL selfish, unscrupulous man, who would probably have no hesitation about writing such forgery as the Morey letter or fixing up an envelope to suit IT..

Rem free with his wife and cue or two children, came to this country from England thirty or forty years since. He was long time in the employ of Henry Terry, Esq, engaged in the woolen mill, and as teainster. Later, farming and teaming occupied his attention; and still later the latter pursuit alone has been his bu- siness. A widow and six sons and daughters survive him.

DEAR -: You will have no objection, pre- sumo, to read the views of personal and political friend, upon subjects of importance in the present critical condition Of parties A letter written with out access to the opinions Of politicians, without knowledge of the Vaccinations Of President makers, may not be useless in showing the impress sion which public events making upon the dis interested portion Of the public. There was belief that the Union was in danger by the fanatics of the North and South, aided by the elected politicians who, deprived of the control of the government, were willing TO hold federal Office under the wilmot proviso of Mr.. Polk, but insisted upon the immediate dissolution Of the Union, If Gen Taylor would not avow his deter minaton to sign, veto, similar bill, six months before Congress should pass the bill for his sigma ture veto There was an apprehension that this combna- ton would destroy the Union, but the mercantile interest Of Boston, New York, and Philadelphia, the manufacturing and mining interests Of Penn sylvanis and of Massachusetts,, have rebuked the Northern fanatics. The failure of the Nashville Convention, by the discovery that southern de- mocracy only wished to embarrass the Administra- ton and TO entrap the Wings, and the backing out Of those who stimulated the excitement for party advancement, seem 10 have convinced the people Of the country that the grand drama Of dissolution has been postponed ill further notice. Public apprehen sion seems 10 have subsidized, nor will il be again excited unless the wilmot proviso be again at tempted. The South will resist such an exercise of the power Of the majority, nsolent and I'M necessary. We have looked at the phantasms goria which your Congressional proceedings present. until there s scarcely any interest felt in the result The promise was at time satisfactory, because il seemed 10 safety representatives. But animation shows that il embraces a number Of sub ects upon which there is n
