Their criti cisms are in some respects just and deserved. Such exaggerations of the faults they pontain. result, I am sure, not wholly from ill-will to ward me, but from justifiable anxiety that our State should be properly represented in the United States Senate. I could show by the records that I bare been j absent from the impeachment trial but a small i portion of the time. It commenced in March, j just fifty days ago to-day. I was absent from !

All legislative powers shall be vested in a Congress of the United Satrapies, which shall consist of a Senate, a House of Representa tives, and a Caucus. All the powers of the Government of the United Satrapies shall be legislative powers. The House of Representatives, or the Caucus, shall be the judges of the elections, returns and qualifications of every member of either House. The Congress shall have power to do any thing. A tax or duty may be laid upon at tides ex ported from any Satrapy: provided, that pref erence shall be given by ail commercial regu lations to the ports of the Satrapies of Massa chusetts, Maine and Rhode Island. The Congress shall have full authority over the lives, liberty, and property of the people of the various Satrapies. Old Satrapies may be Excluded from this Union, at the pleasure of the Congress, what ever their population or wealth may be; but use stimulants has been periodical, and after long and exhaustive labors. 1 could show that I baye never appeared in the Senate ex cept when sober, and that notwithstanding occasional departures since J have been in the Senate. I Lave for most of the time performed my duty; but .1 waive all mere technical ad vantages which I might have in a controversy as to my conduct. I write you, not to justify, but to waive all defense, and frankly confess to you the weak ness which, at times, has borne me down, and which was calculated to bring discredit upon my State and myself. It is my nature to be frank, and especially do I owe it to you who have showered favors and honors upon me, to be so now. I will not attempt justification or excuse, especially when I have often publicly said that men holding public trusts should be sober men. During twenty-seven years of political ser vice—with the exception of ten of those years when I totally abstained—I have often yielded to temptation, and as often have sutfered the pangs of unutterable remorse. I can say that, in a certain sense, my sin has been my punish ment. To lose your respect might seem pun ishment enough, but you can scarcely imagine how a proud man feels when he has reason to Weary of the Night. BY THOMAS BUCHANAN READ. The shadow of the midnight hours Falls like a mantle round my form; And ali ’he stars, like Autumn flowers, Are banished by the whirling storm- The demon clouds throughout the sky Are dancing in their strange delight, While winds unwearied play—but I Am weary of the night. Then rise, sweet maiden mine, arise, And dawn upon me with thine eyes. The li.uieu, like a lover, stands, And taps against »he window pane— The willow with its slendc^ hapds Is harping on the silver rain. I’ve watched thy gieaming taper die, And hope departed with the light; The winds unwearid play—but I Am weary of the night. Then rise, sweet maiden mine, arise, And dawn upon me with thine eyes! The gentle morning comes apace, And smiling bids the night depart, Rise, maiden, with thy Orient face, And smile the shadow from my heart! The c ouds of night affrighted fly, Yet darkness seals my longing sight, All nature gltdly sings—while I Am weary of the night. •Then rise, sweet maiden mine, arise, And dawn upon me with thine eyes.

She looked beyond and read the reflection of aciion in the future. Her hostility to Mr. Chase was very bitter. She claimed that he was a selfish politician instead of a true patri ot, and warned Mr. Lincoln not to trust him too tar. The daughter of the Secretary was quite a belle in Washington^ a-id Mrs. Lincoln, who was jealous of the popularity of others, had no desire to build up her social position through political favor to her father. Miss Chase, now Mrs. Senator Sprague, was a lovely woman, and was worthy of all the admit ation she received. Mr. Lincoln wa3 more confiding than his wife. He never suspected the fidelity 7 of those who claimed to be bis friends, Honest to the core himself, and frank as a child, he never dreamed of questioning the sincerity cf others. “Father, I wish you would inquire a little into the motives of Chase,’’ said his wife one day. The President was lying carelessly upon a sofa, holding a newspaper in his hands. “Mother,you are too suspicious. 1 give yon credit for sagacity, but you are diposed to magnify trifles. Chase is a patriot and one of my best friends.” “ Yes, one of your be3t friends because it is his interest to be so. lie is anything for Chase.

I tell yoq he is a humbug, and you will have to find some man to take his place, that is, if you wish to conquer the South.” Mrs. Lincoln could not tolerate Gen. Grant. •• He is a butcher,” sbe would often say,' “and is not fit to be at the head of qh army.” “ But he has been very successful in the field.” argued the President. “ Yes, he generally manages to claim a vic tory, but such a victory ! He loses two men to the enemy's one. He has no management, r.^ regard for life; if the war should continue foiir years longer, and he should remain in power, he would depopulate the North. { could tight an army as well myself. According to his tactics, there is nothing under the heav, ens to do but march a new line of men up in tiont of the rebel breastworks to be shot dow n as fast as they take their position, and keep marching until the enemy grows tired of tlie slaughter. Grant, I repeat, is an obstinate fool and a butcher.” “ Well, mother, supposing that we give you command of the army. No doubt you would do much better than any General that has been tried.” There was a twinkle in the eyes and a ring of irony i;: the voice. I have often heard Mrs. Lincoln say that if Grant should ever be elected President of the United States, she would desii'e to lcitve the country and remain absent during his term of office.

There is a portion of tlic speech of Mr. Nel. son in Ihp impeachment case not in the line of tis argument for the President, but which is nevertheless of peculiar interest, and which incidentally illustrated in a very striking and honorable manlier the rigid and uncalculating firmness with which 'vr. Johnson adheres to his conviction of duty. It is the recital of facts given by Mr. Nelsqa relating to the with drawal of Judge liiack from the defense of the president, air. Nelson slates that while Judge Black was one of the counsel fur the President ho had an iptetview with the Presi dent, “ tr uing upon him to take action in reference to the rights of citizens of the Uni ted States upon the island of Alta Vela, anu the sending of an armed vessel to take pos session cf it. “The President having declined to do so, Judge Black (acting as one of the parties in terested iu Alta Vela) declined to appear fur ther as counsel iu his case.” “Such,” said he, “are the facts in relation to the withdrawal of Judge Black; and so far as the President is concerned, ‘the head and front of his offend ing hath this extent; fib more.’” Well may Mr. Nelson say that the conduct of Andrew Johnson UQder these circumstances was such as will elevate him in the estimation of every’high-mindtd man iu the country.— Here was a lawyer whose great legal and forensic abilities had induced the President to look to him as the sheet-anchor of his defense, and whose combative and vehement energies would have been sufficient to throttle Butler at the very threshold of the struggle, delibe rately given up by the President rather than yield to an ulterior purpose, by doing an bet which would have increased tiie President’s popularity witb the unthinking, and which wa3 actually solicited in a letter signed by four of the managers of the impeachment, since the impeachment proceedings began ! But the President did not believe that he had the right to do the act, and though his very political existence q;::s trembling in the balance, he refused to do it, knowing he was by that refusal adding to his enemies, depriv ing himself of the strength of Judge Black’s powerful assistance, and exposing himself to the sjander which ha3 actually been circulated since", that Judge 'Black liad'abandoned him on account of'his guilt. It would be difficult to find on record a more admirable example of lofty and more uncompromising devotion to principle, and there is no true man in all the land whose respect for the President will not be increased by it.—Baltimore Sun.

Thi Boy and tbs Bricks.—A boy bearing his father say, “ It'was a poor rule that wouldn’t work both ways,” said, “If father applies this rule about his work I will test it in my play.” iSo getting up a row of bricks, he tipped over the first, which, striking the second, caused it to fall on the third which overturned the fourih, and so ou until all the bricks lay prostrate. “Well,” said the little boy,' “each knocked down its neighbor. I ouly tipped one. Now I will raise one, and see if it will raise its neighbor.” “He looked in vain to see them rise. “ Here, father,” said the boy, “ tis a poor rule, ’twill net work both ways. They knock ed each other down, but will Tiot raise each other up.” * “Mv son, bricks and mankind are alike made of clay, active in knocking each other down, but not disposed to help each other up.” Father,” said the boy, “does the urs't brick making it from the breasts ot msnjsjnd.
