h their lives. This is a blessed memory, unhappily not that of the youth of to-day. Mr. Charles Ingersoll, notwithstanding his ill-made wig, great age, and prejudice against Mr. Webster, was, neuth was spent at Mr. Robert J. Walker's, when he was Secretary of the Treasury, talking with Mr. Ingersoll and Mr. George M. Dallas. No young men of this or any other day that I have seen, ever equatastes and temperamental divergence. Mr. Dallas said Wordsworth was the poet of nature, and Mr. Ingersoll remarked that he bore the same relation to cultivated poetic manhood that Adam did to Goetheion of natural forces, I felt that, as man progressed, he became more interesting, whereupon Mr. Ingersoll laughingly said, You see Mrs. Davis agrees with me that Cain was more aggressive, and therefadies in the Land of Nod clearly were more agreeable than those of Eden. After this evening Mr. Ingersoll was so good as to call several times, and I felt, in Yorkshire phrase, uplifted by the atten

vernment would concern themselves with what we have now. Let us fill that with knowledge and virtue and love of one's neighbor; and let England and Russia take the rest,—I care not who. There has been a recent debate in Congress, in which Mr. Charles Ingersoll said he would go to war rather than allow England to occupy Cuba. I say: Take Cuba, Victoria, if you will; banish thence Slavery; lay the foundation of Saxon freedom; build presses and school-houses! What harm can then ensue to us? Mr.Mr. Ingersoll proceeded on the plan of preparing for war. He adopts the moral of the old fable of Aesop,—which, you know, I have always thought so pernicious,—where the wild boar was whetting his tusks, though no danger was near, that he might be prepared for danger. I wish our country would cease to whet its tusks. The appropriations of the navy last year were nine million dollars. Imagine half—nay, a tithe—of this sum given annually to objects of humanity, education, and literature! I know

As Mr. Valiandignam says in his excellent speech, which we publish this week, "the measure they have meted out to us shall be measured to them again." Yes, that it will, "shaken down and pressed together." "The arrest of Dr. Olds," chuckles the Abolition tyrants of the Evening Post, "and the summary squelching of Charles Ingersoll, show that the Government is wide awake!" Yes, indeed, it is wide awake. It can conquer unarmed men, and that seems to be about the extent of its victories. It can send posses of kidnappers to the houses of quiet citizens in the North, gag them, and bind them, and immure them in forts and fortifications; but it has not the ability, with hundreds of thousands of troops, to keep the Confederates from besieging the National Capital. It can wreak a petty vengeance upon some individual,
