parties ? Both would refuse his umpi
rage, for both were as hostile to him as
they were to one another. Neverthe
less he was bound to do them the best
service he could in spite of their teeth;
and that service consisted in preser
ving the peace of tiie nation. It Wits
his special and most imperative duty
not to embroil the incoming adminis
tration by a civil war which his suc
cessor might be unwilling to approve
or to prosecute. It was undoubtedly
right to leave the President elect and
his advisers in a situation where they
could lake their choice between com

Lincoln was in favor ot the former*, il

would not only “(ire the Southern

Before he fell away from

himself) shows that I was able to for

I Buchanan administration previous to
lions of his country. From the stand
point which he then occupied he said
that war was disunion ; it was blood,
conflagration, terror, and tears, public
debt and general corruption ot mortals,
ail ending at best not in the union of
the States but in the
ibjugalion of
some to the despotic will of the others.
He was apt to take a sombre view of
things, and he looked at the datk side
or this subject. TIk- glory, profit and
plunder, the political distinction and
pride of power which brighten it now,
were it not included in his prospec
tive survey.
we were committed. The faintest sus
picion of the contrary would have put
the Attorney (General’s ollice as far be
yond his reach as the throne of France.
We took him for what he professed-no
be—a true friend of the Union ; a de
vout believer in the Constitution ; a
faithful man- who would not violate
his oath of oihce by wilful disobedi
ence to the laws. I am still convinced
that he did nod deceive us. If die aban
doned those principles in 1SG2, the
change however sudden and unaccount
able, is not satisfactory evidence that
he was an impostor and a hypocrite in
ISfiO. 1,1 h. ;;
lie did not find Mr. Holt and Ger.
Dix contending:niohe (or contending fit
ail) against the President and the rest
of the administration. Mr. Holt, on
the 3d of March, 18t>l, appended to
iiis letter of resignation a strong ex
pression of his gratitude tor the “firm
and generous support” which Mr.
Buchanan had constantly extended to
him. anil fKiys a warm tribute to the
.“enlightened statesmanship and unsul-
iisd patriotism” of the outgoing Presi
dent. Gen. Dix was not there at all
when Mr. Stanton came in. He was
appointed a month afterwards, when
there was no disagreement in the Cab-
net. He took up his residence at the
Presidents house as a member of his
family, and reclamed there during:the
whole lime of his service as head ol
the Treasury Department. Fie per
formed his duties faithfully, firmly, and
in a way which met with universal ap-
probatioc. I do not recollect that he
had line word of serious controversy
either with the President or with any
body else. If, therefore, Mr. Stanton
was at any time engaged in dragoon
ing the President arid hectoring his col
leagues, he could not have had Mr.
Holt arid Gen. Dix for his backers.
There were disputes and serious
dillerences of opinion in tiie Cabinet
during the period of Mr. Stanton’s ser
vice ; but his share in them has not
been truly slated. I am not writing
the history of those times, and there
fore I say nothing of what others did
or forebore to do except so far may be
necessary to show Mr. Stanton’s acts
and omissions in their true light.
Before the election it was determin
ed that the forts in Charleston harbor
should be strengthened so as to make
them impregnable. The order was
given, but the execution of il was un
accountably put ofrl When General
Cass ascertained that the delay was ac
quiesced in by the President he re
signed. Two weeks afterwards Major
Aiulersoh commanding Fort Moultrie,
apprehending an attack, threw his gar
rison into Fort Sumter. Simultane
ously came certain commissioners from
South Carolina demanding the surien
der of the latter fort to the State. The
character of the answer that should he
i given to the commissioners and the
stead of one. On no
there the slightest conflict between him
anti me. He exhibited none ot the
coarseness which, some of his later
friends have attributed to him. He
never spoke without the greatest res
pect for his colleagues anil the pro-
fouiidest deference to (he President.
He, said no word to the President about
resigning. He told me that, he would
resign, if I did ; hut when certain con
cessions were made to my wishes he
expressed himself perfectly satisfied.
He did not furnish one morn of the iu-
Huenoe which brought the President
round on the answer to South Caroli
na. Nor did he ever pro|K>se to carry
any measure of his own, directly .or
indirectly, relating to lire secession
troubles. Fie uniformly professed to
be as anxious for the preservation ot
(be public peace as any man there.
It would be a wrong to the memory
of Mr. Stanton not to add that, so far
agl know, he never gave oontenarvee or
encouragement to those tabu loos sto
ries of his behavior.

The Arlington is the name of a new

think that the charges at Willard’s

positive gratuities compared to the

and appointments are much finer.than

than most inside it. At the suggestion
ot a friend, anil in his company, 1

‘Jewiiikcn,’ said I, ‘do you think my

Letter after letter was written, but
no reply ever came to greet her ex

months of waiting, site determined to
attempt the journey and make her way
back to the place where she was horn.
With this intention she gathers togeth

the abolitionists in refusing to vote up-;
when where to execute thf
on the Lecompton constitution,
nothing but a vote was needeu to ex
ilic new State, and
terminate the dispute by deciding it in
thewvny which they themselves pre
tended to wish. He wholly deneid Mr.
Douglas’ notions, and blamed him se
verely'The the unreasonable and mis
chievous ,schism which he had created
in the party. The Kuow-nolhingism
of Bell and Everett found no favoi in
his eyes. In the- canvass ot ISbO, he
rewarded the salvation of the country
as hanging upon the forlorn hope ot
Breckinridge’s election. We knew the
abolitionists to be the. avowed enemies
of the Constitution and tne Union, and
wo thought the Republicans would nec
essarily be corrupted by their alliance,
with them. As we saw the march ol
these combined forces upon tne capital,
we felt that the Constitutional liberties
of the country were inasmuch peril
as Rome was when the Gauls weie
pouring over the broken defence of tne
city. Whether we were right or wrong
is not the question, now. It is enough
to say that Mr. Stanton shared these
apprehensions lully. He more than
shared them ; to some exlcnthe inspir
ed them, for he knew Mr. Lincoln per
sonally, and the account he gave of
hi tn was anything but favorable.
The Glli ol .November came and Mr.
Lincoln was legally chooseu President
by the electoral machinery of tiie Con
siitution, though the majority of the
popular vote was against him by more
than a milhort. The question w is now
to be tested by actual experiment
whither a party which existed oniv in
one section, and winch was organized
on the sole principle of hostility to tlw
rights, and interests, and- feedings o; tin
other, could or would administer the
federal government in a righteous spir
it of justice, or whether the predictions
ol all our great statesmen for thirty
years past must be veiified, that the
abolitionists when they got into power
would disregard their sworn duty to
the Constitution, breakdown the judi
cial authorities and claim obedience, to
their own mere will as a “higher law”
Lbn« tbe law of the land. The danger
was greatly aggravated by tne crimi
nal misconduct-.-of large bodies in the
South, particularly in South Carolina

It disappointed the President. He
had hastily taken it for granted that
Congress might make secessions cause
for war ; and in the draft of bis mes
sage already prepared iie submitted
the question of war or peace to the ir
decision. But the advice of the Law
Department, supjtoried by a powerful
argument from General Cass, convin
ced him of his error, and that part of
die message was rewritten. The sub
stance of the messsuge so modified re
ceived Mr. Stanton’s hearty, eadorse-
nent in everything thut regardc d se-
To this there was ab-olulely no an
swer, except what consisted in saying
that the furl could not lie relieved with
out difficulty and danger of successful
oppnsiiiony that South Carolina would
lake it as an affront, and that it was
tantamount to a threat ol coercion.
Tlfe replication was easily made:
There was no danger in even an at
teiru til resistance to a ship of war, the
statements made of the hostile power
were mere brag; d South Carolina t‘'°k
offence at our preparation for the safe
ty of our own men and our own prop

as to coercion, let her hake care not to

At length the President produced
his decision "rn the form of an answer

far from satisfactory to the Southern 4. F

he was very certain of renting the
apartments for that sum before many
days. Several Congressmen had been
looking at them, and they didn’t seem
to think the price extravagant.
Well, we didn’t look at any more
rooms in that house. As neither of us
happened to belong to the whiskey
ring, or the tariff ring, or the Pacific
Railroad ring, we were very certain
we couldn’t stand it, even on the fifth
floor, if that was the way the second
floor started out. The whiskey ring is
‘sour grapes,’ with the most of us.
Upon my word, I tried to get in once,
but they blackballed me on the ground
that I would tell all I knew about it as

I have since learned, however, that
8700 a week is not considered a high
figure for rooms and accommodations
at the Arlington. There arc two fam
ilies living there at the rate of $-30,000
per annum each. One is the family of

Healthy Rules for IVinter.—We find
the following rules for preserving
health during the winter in an able
medical journal on our table. They
are all based upon sound principles,
and are clearly and intelligibly express
ed so that all 4 wh» read may under
stand them :
1. Have 3'our sleeping room well
venlillatcd. Pure air is just as neces
sary in cold weather as in warm. If
you shut yourself up in a close room
through the night, you will be very apt
to take cold the next day.
2. Have bed-clothing enough to keep
you comfortably warm, but no more,
as an excess will prove burdensome
and weakening. Have more clothing
over the feet and legs than over the
body.
3. Never go to bed with cold or
damp feet. Always warm or dry
them in some way. Dry them by
rubbing with a towel or before a fire,
or by. putting them in hot water, then
cold for a moment, followed by a brisk
receive.
