The Tribune lias an article on the personal
history of J. Gordon Bennett. We should
like to read a description retaliating from the
caustic graver of the Scotchman:
JAMBS GORDON BENNETT.
Among the emigrants of the early part of
the present century was a keen, rcadv, hard
working, thrifty, miscliief-loving Scotchman.
Haring a certain faculty as a writer, good
humor, a wonderful knowledge of men and
things, and a talent for amusing invective
that suggested the shrewdness of Bailie Nicol
Jarvie and the coarseness of Andrew Fairser-
vicc, he found ready employment He had
great ambition and tenacity. We presume he
made little money; tor we find him leaving
journalism in disgust and attempting to teach
school. But those whom the tarantala has
bitten must always dance, and so our adven
turer drifted back to the press. Hard work
and poor pay were the necessities ot journal
ism those days, even more than now. He tried
Brston and failed. He attempted a newspa
per in Philadelphia and lost his money. The
euphemistic politicians of that sedate me
tropolis were shocked by the plainness of
speech of this droll Scotchman. He wrote
letters from Washington in praise of Jack-
son, but tbo imperious President bad his man
Blair from Kentncky, and wished no other
favorite. He acted as sub-editor on the dreary
New York dailies, but they tied him down,
and he soon frayed liis tether.
Finally, going down in a cellar, he arrang
ed and printed a small four-paged sheet of
paper, and sold it fur one penny. It was
rude, coarse, personal and malicious, but apt,
ready with news, and always in good humor.
This Scotchman had power, and now coming
to deal with the world in his own person, he
would be heard and seen—nay, more, he
would rule. All the world learned from this
waggish, laughing Scotchman—liis penny-a-
sheet Radicals—that all the world was bad;
that men were corrupt, and women impure;
that religion was hypocrisy, politics a fraud;
honor a farce,this Scotchman only remaining
in bis cellar, a merry, teasing Diogenes,
charged to tell cacti man bow bad bis neigh
bors were, for the sum of one penny.
THE LECTURE OF GEN. WADDY THOMP

He commenced hi. lecture by .llnding to the '• r “ t0 ' at,0n ‘Ze
unfortunate condition of the country at present, ! ^ aW the Cons,ltn “ 0n a ‘ L ***
and erprewed hi. opinion that the future would j -.°ihe dtleimltution of the Northern people with
Ddfiiu more gloomy and unfortunate. He said I regard to the South cannot be misunderstood.—
that he had been opposed to a dissol ution of the j They will not suffer the States to cotne * ck In1 o
„d ,h.„ l ,h.d
j- a .l a. a. - 1 danger of the repudiation of the Union debt or th
lost popularity and influence in South Carolina.
He waa opposed to accession, not because he did
not believe that the South had a right to eeeede,
bat beesusd he believed that it wa» impolitic,
and that tbo South would be unable to resist the
power that would bo brought against it. He be
lieved that the only hope lor the South waa .that
the West would rise up and resist the domina
tion of New England. He thinks this hat been
delayed by the late war.
Ho then alluded briefly to General Axdbew
Jacksos, whom he had known intimately, and
said that he never knew a greater man, and re
gretted exceedingly that we bad no such mili
tary genius in the rrceut war. He said General
Jacksos, in private conversation, was as mild, as
bland, and as courteous as any man be ever
knew. But when he was irritated, ho was very
irascible and impetuous. Ho thought that
Jacksos frequently violated the Constitution,
but that he always did so for the good or the
country. He represented hi^ private life as
pure, virtuous, and without reproach.
H'i then reviewed the life of YTemtbr. lie
said that he was generous anu hospitable, and
that his private life was also virtuous and irre
proachable. He said that Webster's speeches
would probably last longer than those of any
man of bis day, but he did not consider him a
great statesman. WsssTaa represented the most
intelligent constituency in the United States,
and, being a man of method, be had only to eol
late facts and arguments furnished to him by
bis constituencies. He did not think Webster
was eloquent, but oratorical. He used the purest
English, and bad in his speeches fewer deriva
tions from the Latin and Greek than any Amer
ican orator.
He did not think Mr. C/.at awl.-e statesman—ho
lacked education aud intelligence. Ho bad never
heard him eloquent, but bad frequently heard
him vehement aud p^skiouale. He thought the
political measures which Mr. Clay advocated
would have been very grinding to the South. He
dosed Ids remarks about Mr. Clay, with tli« tame
tribute to h.s purity ol private llie.

rights,’ or to discuss what the «!d Constitution
docs or does not sanction. The peopl® woald in
pcrtc-de that Constitution altogetbar, rather t -au
run the risk of letting the South recever Its old
sway in the Lsgl-lature.’’
This may be rather a bread enunciation or the
doctrine, and It may be scouted ts tenlr heresy
by thn.-e who, daring the war, insisted upon con
stitutional objections to the measures successive
ly found essential to its prosecution. Neverthe
less the Time*' correspondent is not far astray.
The people will not tolerate the unconditional restora
tion of the South to power and they vUl i:"cr and
amend theVomtUution ij needle, totuiWteirjmrpotes.
In view of this opposition to tba measures r,f
Congress, and the spirit which actuates it. the
statement of the English correspondent ’ia un-
doubtedly correct. The American people“wonld
supersede the Constitution altogether rather
than run the ristrof letting the South recover
its old away in the Legislature,” where, with the
helpof the Northern Democracy, it would ttrug-
S le to undo the work of the war. On this point
tore can be no mistake. Tho people will r.ot sub
mit even to the chance of losing thrsjw'i tte
Government the advantages gained in the 'V ' i
They xcitl allow nothing to be done that sMti at em.
even remotely to imperil the controlling author-
iiy of the loyal element in the country. -Aud to
this end they demand such en amendment of
the Constitution as shall bring hint* harmony
with their will. If the South concur, so iot|eh the
better for its interests—so much the smoother
and more pleasant will the business ef restora
tion proceed. But the refusal of the Soath to ac
cept the terms proposed will not be an inmtperh-
ble obstacle to their incorporation into the Constitu-
tion. It is meet that the Constitution shMflbe
amended in the light of the trial through which
the Republic! has passed; and the people may,
by and by, assutnr the responsibility of deciding
wheu and by whom the Amendment shall be
carried into effect.
DISTRIBUTIONS.
Vi'c would call attention to the opinion of one of the
leading papers of Canada on this subject.
.'lost of our readers have no doubt read some of the
numerous advertisements of Oift Kntcrpriir«. Gift
tonierts. Ac., which appear from time to time in the
public prints, offering most temptinc bargains tothoe
who will patronise them. In most c-v>.s those nr c
genuine humbufrs. But there are a few respectable
arms wbo do business in this manner, and they do it
os a means of inereasinctheirwholcsale business, and
not to make money. From such firms, it is true, hand
some and raluablo articles are procured for a very
small sum, and what is more important, no one i« over
cheated. Every person gets rood value for his dollar;
oeeau.-e, as we have stated, it is intended to act as an
advertisement to increaaetheir ordinary im3inees.
'1 a hove seen nnmbcn of rrizr- sent out in this
way by Sheehan, Watson A CourAXY. of Nassau
Street, N. Y.. and there is no doubt that some of the
articles are woith eight or ten times the money paid
f -r them, while we have not seen or heard of a single
article which was not fully worth the dollar which it
cost. But this is only one of the exceptions of this
rule, for as a general thing the parties engaged in this
business are nothing bat clever swindlers.

which are legally devolved upon him. He will
veto every bill that he may regard un conitifutlon
Ml, no matter how unpopular it may be ffir him to
do so. But he will execute with unscrupulous
fidelity a!i Jaws, trad espe.ully those to which be
lias declined to give his official sanction.
“The apprehensions which you seem Ufeel, and
which maily others snare with you, that Mr. John
son will attempt to force Southern reprdjc r.atlves
into Congress, or do any other iniprudtpf thing
by which the public peace will be r'lsterhwi, is en
tirely unfounded. While he win exerehc fearless
ly thc power which be possesses under the Caiuti-
tution lu furtherance ot the measures Which he
thinks are best calculated the promote the public
weal, he will not quarrel with Congress for pursu
ing the same independent course. He regrets the
disagreement between the legislative tad executive
branches of thc Government, and would, I doubt
not, yield much to effect a reconrilia'ioa. He will"
not, however, sacrifice his principles, nor violate
the Constitution, according to his iuterpretetion
of it, no matter what pressure is brought to bear
npou him. ire means to do right, as b« under
stands the right, sud will trust to t!ax« for U* vin
dication ot sis course. Ho will tie as true ro the
Constitution and the Government as President of
tiie United States as he was true and steadfast to
the Union in the darkest days of its trials.’
TEMPER OF THE SOUTH.
The N. Y. Times la astounded at tbe peaceful as
pect ofaffairs at tho South and our freedom from all
excitement. It even taunts us with “ua-Sonthcrn
paasiveness” in view of what it has instore for us.
Itsays:
“It inav be true enough that they can lo no bet
ter, and no worse. It certainly is true that il re
sistance be thought of as tbe alternatiruof tbe ac-
S uieeccnce which is displayed, any attenqit at it on
ic part o! the South would b<- madness. But it is
not their retraining from active resistasce to the
will at tbe North that we speak of as a: all note
It is tticir perfect and exceedingly un-
pasiirene-s under the prospector the
tical enforcement ot the bill iu matters close-
_ , ar.das they think adversely affecting their prin
ciples and interests, and their refraining from all
those strong manifestations of political feeling
which we have always been accustomed U witness
in all parts of tbe couutry under aimilai circum
stances.”
Yes, viewed In the light in which the limes seca
public affairs in this country, our composure may
teem a little wonderiuL But then, error Is the com
mon lot ot humanity, and the Times may be mis
taken iu two very important things, viz; its power
to carry outila threats, and its interpretation of
the present “un-Suuthcru” aspect ef public senti
ment at the South. We shall know more ef both
before long.
“CosaazsSHBn at I.AXGB.”—Our rciders have
doubtless been quite as much puzzled as onrarlvcs
tojknow the meaning of runuiug a candidate for
“Congressman at large,” in the State of Illinois,
as no other State has an officer corresponding with
it. The N. Y. Tribune gives the cxpliaation as
follows:
The law of 23d ol May, 1850, fixes the number of
Me to hers of Congressat 233, wbo are redistributed
among the States alter and in rccordtnce with
every decennial census. An act ot March 4,18t>2,
increased, however, the numberof Representatives
from 233 to 241, by allowing, eue additional Rep
resentative to eight States, of which Illinois was
one. Tbe unmfccr ot Congressmen of Hlinois was
thus raised from 13 to 14. The State Legislature of
Illinois, instead of dividing tbe State into 14 dis
tricts, preferred to elect only 13 Members ef Con
gress in separate districts, and to have the four
teenth elected by the vote ot the State. This is
tho “Congressman at Large,” for which office Gen.
Logan has just received a majority approaching
60,000. Illinois to the only State in the Union
which has a “Congressman at Largs” (not count
ing the States which elect only one Congressman)
