Tiave not tlio vanity to assume that
past connection with the public,
exemplified the course of a sound
American statesman, but if I have de
served the favorable view taken of it
in your letter, I may hope by a faithful
adherence to the maxims by which I
have heretofore been guided, not alto
gether to disnppoint the confidence and
expectations of those who have placed
me in my present relation to the public;
and if, under Providence, I should lie
called upon to preside over the allairs
of this great country as the Executive
chief of the Government, the only furth
er pledgo I feel called upon to make, is,
that to the utmost of my ability, and
with whatever strength of will I can
command, all the powers and influence
belonging to my oilicial station shall bo
employed and directed for the promo
tion of all the great objects for which
the government was instituted ; but
more especially for the maintenance of
the Constitution and the Union against
all opposing influence and tendencies.
I cannot conclude this letter without
expressing my high gratification at the
nomination to the second oflico under
the Government of that eminently gif
ted and distinguished statesman of Mas
sachusetts, Edward Everett, a gentle'
man held by general consent to heal
together worthy of the first.
Tendering my grateful acknowledge
ments fortho kind and complimentary
remarks with which you were pleased to
accompany the communication of my
nomination.
1 am, dear Sir,
With the highest respect,
Your obedient servant,
JOHN BELL.
To the Hon. Washington Hunt.
jBSrCol. Philip 8. White tells the fol
lowing, anoedoto in relation to the re
semblance of Gen. Cass, to the elder
Guy of the National Hotel in Washing
ton ;
A stranger, who supposed he know
mine host very well, put up at tlio Na
tional the other night. Since this house
has become the crack hotel at the Capi
tol, it is quite full, and at this time the
now comer, necessarily for tlio first
night, was sent to the upper .floor to
sleep. Coming down stairs the next
morning, a little cross, lie met General
Cuss there, who has a fine suite of rooms
in the hall, stepped up to him, and in a
language more forciblo than elegant,
said:
I’ll bo d—d if I stand it 1 You’ve
jut mo at the top of the house. I must
have a room somewhere lower down.”
General Cass interposed and said'nerv
ously, “Sir, you nro mistaken in the per
son you are addressing. I am General
Cuss of Michigan."
Stranger confusedly. “Beg your par
don General Cass—thought it was my
old friend Guy, bog a thousand pardons,
sir. All a mistake, all u mistake, all a
mistake, I assure you sir.”
'flie General passed out of tho build
ing, but soon returned, and as luck
would luive it, the stranger met him full
in tho face again, but in another posi
tion. This time lie was sure he had
mine host, for the Senator from Michi
gan, ho know, had just gone out. So
tlio stranger stopped boldly up, slapped
the General heartily and familiarly oil
the shoulder, exclaimed:
•By heavens, Guy, I've got' a rich sell
to relate. I met old Cass up stairs, just
now, thought it was you, and began
cursing him about my room.”
General Cass (with emphasis)—“Well,
young man, you’vo met old Cass again!”
Stranger sloped and has not been
heard of since.
Sumner’s Sensation Speech,
The picture of slavery in the South
ern Slates, os painted in the twelve
column speech of Charles Sumner, is
i<o more fair and impartial than a yel
low covered “sensation” novel which
attempts to delineate tho realities of
life. Dumas arid Cobb, who are mas
ters of a certain dramatic power'of
exaggeration, stand in tho same rela
tion to true art, as represented by the
cool and comprehensive wisdom of
Shakespeare, as do tho embroidered
and distorted views of Sumiior to the
wiso sentiments of American states-
en.
Sumner’s skill in giving a distorted
sketch, painted in colors morbidly fierce
and hot, may be acceptable to vulgar
and uneducated mi ruts, which fail to
seo the superficial and impracticable
substance of liis theories and the un-
eality of his arguments, covered, liko
bogus coin, with bright gilt. But the
faithful and discriminating patriot, who
comprehends the trua principles of
forbearance and compromise upon
which tl.is government was established,
knows that Sumner's picture of slavery
in the South is one-sided and false, und
is no more true to life than one of tho
exaggerated and morbid extravagances
with which tlie fourth-rate novel-writer
corrupts aiur unsettles tho minds of the
credulous and ignorant.
According to Sumner, tliero is no
humanity, beiievolcnco or charity in
the South. SVo are told to look upon
a raeo rendered burbario and corrupt
by a deadly sin, and to pursue them
with tho ferocity and cruelty with
which wo exterminate wild beasts.—
Were Southern slaveholders a company
of pirates and cannibals, given over to
every species of enmo and enormity
repugnant to human instinct and hu
man reason, Sumner’s attack npon
them could not have been more fierce
and bitter. Most of ins assertions are
based not upon tlio general averngo of
tacts, but upon stray und occasional ex
ceptions.
Tho malignity, unfairness and evi
dent desire of personal vengeance
which appear in the speech and weaken
tlio force of his statements in regard to
slave-labor at the South, prove that In
no high sen30 is Sumner a genuine or
disinterested orator. And if neither
an orator nor a sincere nrtist who faith
fully reproduces, in language, actual
and real pictures, much less is ho, in
any sense, a statesman. What will
that speech over effect towards tho lib
eration and future happiness of four
million of slaves ? What influence will
it exert upon the Senate? What prac
tical point und issue bus it? Which of
the perplexing problems pending beforo
tlio nation, does it solve or attempt to
solve? What inlluenco will it have
upon tlio struggling antagonisms which
threaten tho Union ? Tho argument
throughout is untimely, illogical, and
impotent; for it is based upon the the
ory of the abolition of slavery in tlio
States by Congress; a subject over
which Congress cannot exerciac.control.

Musical Prodigy.—A young musical
prodigy is attracting agood deal of atten
tion in the vicinity of Salem; a little
girl aged three years and seven months,
who plays upon tlio piano more than
fifty separate airs, having composed two
or three herself. She learns very rea
dily; can play either in tho dark or
blindfoldea. Her name is Martha S. P.
Story.
Dangers to Children.—Tlio Brussels
'Journal of Medicine” contains the ac
count of another nearly fatal case of
poisoning from the effects of tho paint
on children’s toys. A child, six months
old, was taken with convulsions, writh
ing with pain, and uttering the most ag
onizing shrieks. It was witil tlio great
est dilliculty its life was saved. Exami
nation showed that it had been poison
ed from sucking a doll’s head, the white
lead in tho paint being a most deadly
poison. Minium, or oxide of lead is
used for red paint, while arsenic enters
largely into tho preparation of green
and yellow, which colors aro largely us
ed in painting toys from their cheapness
—and all in largo enough quantities to
kill a young child.

New Medical Salt
IS NOT A CUBE ALL.
FOB INFLAMATORY DISEASES ONLY.
D R. COGOHWKLL'S New‘Medical Salt,
instead of being a remedy fur all ills,
U„b control over but one ill, has but one aim,
and accomplishes but one thiug, to wit: Sub
dues Inflnuitttory Diseases—whatever bo its
form or locality, whothor in the head, throat,
abdomen, extremities or skin.
Tho peculiar excellence of the New Medi
cal Salt is, that without tho useless loss of
blood nud strength, it effectually cures In-
tlamatory Diseases (no others) by producing
an equilibrium of all tho fluids In the body,
the want of which is the sole Cause of in
flammation.
Invalids, Take Noticol — The following
forms which the unbalanced fluids assume
end many not hero mentioned, that liavo
more or less fevor and p in, aro easily sub
dued by the New Medical Salt ns fire is ex
tinguished by water, to wit: Brain Fovcr,
Headache, Rush of Blood to* the Head and
Heart, Fits, Inflamed Eyes, F.ars nhd Nose,
Canker, Neuralgia, Spinal Affections, Ery
sipelas, Bronchitis, Pleurisy, Asthma, In
flamed Lungs nnd Liver, Heartburn, Coughs,
Dyspepsia, vencrial Diseases, Rheumatism,
Gout Scrofula, Suit Rheum, nnd all Itching
and oilier cutaneous eruptions.
Dr. Coggswcll's New Medical Salt exerts
like tho vaccine matter, on extraordinary in
fluence over the veins and arteries, resulting
in n gr idunl declining of a lamination as in
dicated by tho pulse, which soon returns to
ill natural slate, us the heat, pain and fever
disappear.
Dr, Coggswell's Now Medical Salt docs just
what it claims to do i.o more no loss—equal
