THE I'LLESIDENT WEPT.— The Louisville
Jouruai says: "It is stated on good authority
that the President sent for at least one ami-
Leeempton democrat, talked to him two hours
with tuft most touching pathos, went wofusely,
and finally succeeded in bringing him fairly
over. Tears are a woman's argument, but they
are often a powerful one, and they seem to have
beeh'dn ibis case. The old woman of the White
| House nuy pursue the same course ot argument
with equal success hereafter."
