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. —JV.

[ 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. Dr. Cogswell’s New Medical Salt. For Inflaiaatory Diseases Only 1 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.
