Those Northern politicians, who looked some lime since bo sangainlj to reconstruction, hat who hare not examined the question in it* historical aspects, or the I me cawses of the permanent uuim of States in a Con fe.-feracj, will be ready to admit, after such examhka- nation: 1, tfcst it was not in the nature of thing* that the American Uuion coul I luxe had a longer life. 2y that it «tm a poetical mistake ta hare 'nnited State.* with so great & dieiimilaritj of interests, races and m inner* a* characterize the North and South, respectively. Having some leisure we hare thrown to gether a fe-v historica! memoranda, a3 regards modern CoafedermCieN, that tnay possibly prove instructive. But for the peace of Westphalia, 1643, there would have been no teiigiout liberty in Europe, and no cessa tion ot religions war?. The horrors of the thirty year* war would have been Indefinitely prolonged if other ob jects of human ainbiti »n am! strife had n)t been present ed to the m-n who acic ready 10 sicridce wneb other for articles of feith. The consequence was the divi**- ion* became political instead of riligiour, and the inter ests of her Acrerul State** an I rulers aa umod irrecon cilable diversity. lier.mny demands confederations suitable to ihia diversity, and not a tingle confederation in which the attempt ra.y bu made to reconcil • them. After almost numberless league.", which Were b.vlcii by external pressure or di*salved from iaher%i*t defects, her two most celebrated political ft-poci.itions were the confederation of the K'.iuc in 13:6, imposed by the military dictation of the elder Napoleon, and the con federation of ISIS,which still continues. That it is de fective iu proof of it i want of amendment, but famish' es no evidence that a th rough Unification couid be established. That Gennady, a* well as ItUy, reqiires a more p*wfc:l onion, which will secure I hem indepen dence, Will be denied by no one, hot th s is to ho attain ed no* by an .lr.’ifiohl aud forced nutty—by bringing into political association, under a common government, statics having contrarient interests and social diversi ties -but by combining eiuh of them at are homogene ous In minner* and opinion*, a - d are not dissimilar in interests. Two or three confederacies, kindred in lho<e tilings that promise‘durable nn'on aru better than • lar»e single confederacy of discordant elements. ButhGcnnany and Italy would then present k na field fur •ho -ft intrigues rod c irrupt practices of foreign powers that formerly afflicted those countries. That Au-.tria itnd Pfui;ia, under any arra-tgement of this kind that an be made, wi'I be ihe rrapeo'ive heads of tw.> or more confederacies in Germany «e*m> inevl able. If wc look to Italy her history exhibits tho same lns- pcdimentM to the formitionof ft single durable canfed- racy. Fro-n the pci Jod that the btbnce of power be- jmc a part of the general system of Europe, in the • w-ginningof the 16th century, it would be natural to conclude that the Sflatea of Italy would f rm a confel- erscy for mutual defence, and, although they j*uff*rel , the distractions consequent oa the invasion of f 'h irlcs VIII, of France, which led to the loagu* of the Ital ian cities, by which they were rid of the iovnder, it was the result of external pressure, and they soon, re lapsed into th it in*litTereace to their own security ai to provoke the invasion of Louis the XII, anti Mill without the m^ans of vcsie’ance by adequate combina tion. The league ct Cambray wai not a- e mfcderacy for defence aud independence, hut for a-gre^-ion, and was dissolved as saon iu its objects werj accom pi i shed. Tltc present aftr-mpt to unite them promises* noth ing but failure. This i* pa’eut to ordinary <?b*cr- v.ntl n.

There arc not only religious but political diversities, t*» say nothing of the dissimilarity of interests, manners and opinion*. now direct our atteation to Ihe Netherlands wo nee that the very fint attempt of the pcop’e of that country to form a union, when its necessity was para mount, between the provinces of Ihe North and South ended in disappointment and failure. What is ca’led in history the Pacification of Ghent in 1576, presented a #ti iking illustration of the unstable eharaeter of such unions do not reposp on tho banis of Dipml.trity of manners, modes of thought and Indentity of interests. The Northern provinces, seven in number, wefre so contrasted in these respects from the Southern that the Prince of Orange sought their separation. After the renewal of Internal conflicts originating in religions fends, the Council of Dort in 16 3gave apparent peace to the Netherlands, bat this arrangement did not com pose her troubles, and not nntil the peace of Kimncgen 1678, wa* a government established that promised sta bility. Notwithstanding the necessity of union the Netherlands were distracted by religious and political animosities down to as late a period a9 1829, when the legislative and administrative separation of Belgium and Holland was resolved on and the Goal separation took place in 1882. Bat it may be said that Switzerland presents an ex ample of a political union despite the dis-imilarity, both political and rtligiuus, between the Cantons. The first Swlas confederacy was recognized in 1450. Reli gions fends bad separated the Catholic from the Protest ant Cantons un il a religious peace was concluded in 15.9. It lasted for only a short period, and after va rious conflicts between themselves and the neighborir.g powers the treaty of Westphalia, 164S, it was supposed, acknowledging the independence of Switzerland, would have terminated their internal tumults. Although Switzerland maintained a prudent neutrality during the thirty years war and tlio^e that grew ent of the contest for the Spanish Succession, the st nggles be tween the Cantons were resumed, and a new element of discord appeared, in the conflict between democratic and aristocratic principles, which distracted the land, until 1881, when she assumed that Attitude of internal peace which has continued to the present time. It was only, therefore, after ocean* of blood had been shed- after centuriee of strife ;and struggle between religious and political partiej that the inbe ent causes of dis cord became quieted. 1, From the general ces sation of religions passions. 2, From the near neigh borhood of two powerful military monarchies, which will be ready to repress, by force of arms, political dts- erders, and not from the natural strength of the Swiss Confederacy. The b nd of ua*on here is from externa) pressure. If this ceased to operate, the diversity of in terest s and opinions that has for centuries detracted Swi'zerlADd would re appear Now making an application of these examples to this side of the Atlantic, on what apparently firmer founda tions cculd a confederacy repose, embracing States that are conterminous, having the same traditions, consti tuted of the snra' races, impelled to confederate by common dangers as those which have been tried in KoTopc? What is there of closer social affinity and vnor*' intimate material interests in such a political union than produced temporary alliances between the Slate* of Italy, those of Germany, and the Netherlands? The Cantons of Switzerland form the only exception, hut that exception is more apparent than real. A long series of feuds and distractions, religious an 1 political, have overcome the tendency ti disintegration, combined with the sente of common dnnge/, in the constant prince and near neighborhood of t-io rowerfol man archies. If thc*» inferencis are correct, the Ame loan Union ought never to have been formal. As historlca 1 examples adduced j-how that where single con fed* ra* cy had been created, two or three that promised dura biUy eouVl aad-sh»%uld have been constituted, having similarity of race, religiou and manner.*.

One horseman rode up to young Sally and orderol him to satrccdor. Sully refused and entered the Yankee to surrender to him. The dragoon’s pistol, which was lev elled st tho time, snapped, when he drew his sword and tried to cut Sally down,- bat our hero wes ready for him, and as the fellow made the,blow, he avoided it/and as the horse dashed past, seizing his rammer with both hands, aud swinging it around his head, he brought it d -wn with all his force upsn tho back of the Yankee’s held, .killing Pirn in stantly, and tumbling him headlong from his bone, of which, with the ocenuircmeots, be to k immediate possession.

Her features at once relaxed and she raid eha would speak to bar mother. She soon relumed with a timid but cordial assent I found her a lady of education, modesty and refinement and her mother an affectionate and well brought up matrou cf the olden time, maintaining in poverty that dignity of charac ter and manners which accompanies pnro hearts and cultivated minds everywhere. I made no inquiries of them of a personal nature ; neith er did they seem inquisitive concerning me.— I was treated kindly, bat with reserve. I re tired to rest very early, and left them early next morning ; font some how or other I could not carry my thoughts away with me. At the next house I stopped, and under a pretense of inquiring about the roads, I casually iearnod enough about my friends at the cottage to very much incroaso my interest in the yonng lady. • Arriving at the city of T , I found my old friend Judge H—, and in the course of our conversation I asked if ho knew the resi lent* of the cottage, and was informed that he did ; and he only, wished they lived near him for the sake of his family and as an example to his daughters. His language Of praise was so lavish and ao earnest, that I told him how I had been surprised with their man ner of life,.and their most excellent and pol ished deportment. ‘"Well, I came on here to my post. Soon I found myself flattering like a moth around the gay and wealthy girls of this vicinity. Many of them aro very excellent and lovely ladies ; but some how I hod long left that it would be a most delicious thing to marry some poor girl ol worth and refinement, of good character and family, jnst to enjoy the plcacuro of lifting her np to independence and luxary. I thought that such a. wile would love me better, ana that I wonld lake so much satisfaction in making her my pet lamb, and being to her both a husband and a lather. "Wc!!, Mort, 1 thought over it so much that the memory of the girl at the cottage actually haunted me; eo one day I set down and wrote to Judge H for a letter of credentials to her. lie sent me a very flattering testimonial, saying at the same that the lady was wholly unaware tha' he foil any peculiar interest in her welfare. He suggested that I should write her and cand idly state my object ana intentions, nnd she won d. he believed, us candidly reply, and with out affectation or reserve. I wrote her a long letter, taking a gr.at deal of pains to make so many delicate inquiries, end ark so many mod est questions as.to draw ont her whole sonl if she were dtrporcd to think me acting in good faith. I did not disclose that I had ever seen her, and ashed to send me her likeness if she viewed my preposition with favor. Inclosing with tny letter that of Judge fl , I uneasily awaited her reply.

Not for envy do I aioittion such things as these, for they arc not heartless girls, and would freely help me. were i iaactual want. They only leel the distance that wealth pome- limes creates.

Such changes, I have often tlnught, a;o tLo parents of philosophy tui ! reflection, and therefore .prove eminently useful to society and virtue.

Therefore, I am neither covetous nor touched with envy, though very humble is my lot; for it may change before I die. Indeed I know it will, if this our cor respondence should ever make m'o the wife oi some manly youth who would take me as hie Genevieve, his bright nmTfrasting bride. No lay of Eastern miustrolo, no tender song of gontlo sorrow will ho have lo sing to win me, for my own pad song is sad enough ta more mo lo the shelter of his manly bo3om.. Before this unhappy war, I had a brother so dear and kind, that had he lived, would have told me how I should write, aud what I should ray, in this unmaidenly letter, for he would have loved and protected me all through the bright end tho weary days of my life. His manly form has been fi r many months mouldering in a soldier’s shallow gravo, and tlie same brnvc troops fought over him at the second battle of Manassas, that fought over him at the fit st. Oh, how we loved him, and how we leva him yet. The night after lie foil, I dreamed I heard him call, and saw him beckon to me from out the spirit-lard.

It is gratifyihgat all times to havo the approbation of my fellaw-citizons as to the manner in which Th-t-o discharged my publie duties. At the close of tbo last session of the Legislature (he state of tho health of my fami ly and the absence of my sons in the army, who have also been in bad health, determined me to retire from publio life and give my en tire attention to my family nnd my private af fairs. .

Under all lira circumstances, if my friends desire to present my name to the dis trict as a candidate fo/ Senator, they arc at liberty to do so. For tho klod m nntr in which yon have been pleased lo refer to my humble .services you will please accept my grateful acknowledgements. I am your ob’t serv’t, ROBERT H. TATUM. Thus much have I written as the outlino ol my life. My aspiration* have been few, bn: my hopes are strong and earnest. An ever welcome friend has proposed to sccnre me a situation as a teacher iff a ne.igborimng village, but it is too far for a daily walk, and I cannot bear 10 te separated from my homo and mother ami my father’s much loved grave; and no .. as I write yon. and try to feel altogether unscllUh, ar.d totally tlteam of happiness to come, and ever- living faith in him to whom I wonld trust ntv honor and my life, I am compelled to say that he who choosen me muGt choose my dear iond mother 'with me during her pilgrimage upon earth. No other condition do I impose, no oth er been shall 1 presntre to ask. The spirit and the lettet of yoar many question? require that I should now say something of my nnworly self— my pereoasl attraction?. Excuse me then lor saying that my mother thinks me fair, and my fund l.ro’her often called me good and pretty. I am not an angel nor a peri of a poetV piradisc; but who does not wish to he beniful and be thought so by the woild. and ia it wrong to feel such innocent ambition f The mirror that flatters onr featf rea is ever the must highly priz d, and it is a universal p’easurc to recieve the delicate flattery of our friends. How well do I remember with what trembling inqui ry I once asked my ever candid mother if I was really beautiful, as my fond brother said, when he would stroke my hair and nteS3 ray cheek to his7 How surprised she seemed, and riariled, for fear I waa nursing vanity, aiid how tenderly reproachful was her voice when she replied, “Fanny, yon look well enough, but you arc not beautiful. Yon are not grown, nor your form and feature* ran ml .-<1 as they will be, but you will be beautiful il you are good.” Now I am grown and in the bloom of perfect health; still lean pas* along and dazzle no one, nor rob one soul ot rctr, not scarce attrat t a moment’* gaze ot those I meet. With bumble and unattractive dress I cheerfully perform my duties, and no ‘valencienne.?,’ nor ‘point,’ nor ‘honiton,’ nor flounce, nor fril 1 . nor sweeping trail, nor glittering jewel* araiat the eye to see the charms, if any, tkat I have. Sometimes I am v*in enough to think that shonld the litr es* ing of wealth be added to my lot, some of tho:e who know me now, might wonder that the flow er oi the forest could bloom so fair for being transplanted to a richer soil. Too ask ma if I will venture to enclose yen my phb tojriqth, should I lake a favorable view or your com mu.ucation. My judgment lays I cannot; for though bare frankly answered you, and with, perhaps, less of in modesty than the world would jnpltfy.yi maiden modesty than the world wouldrinslify.yiur own good arose will remind yon that it is l who ion to be woood, evtn though.1 be easily w-m.
