The Forty IMc pi Senator Wllspn., jirs. ilarriet fiecciior Stowe publishes in the Boston Walchifwn arid Reflector an interesting sketch of Senator Wilson, of Massachusetts. She says of his early life: "Henry Wilson, our present United Slates Senator, was born at Faruiington, N. H., Febru ary 12, 118, ot very poor parents. At the age ot ten he was bound to a farmer till he was twentv-one. Here he had the usual lot oT a farm-boy plain, abundaut food, coarse clothing, incessant wort, ana a lew weeks' scnooiiuar at the district school in winter. 'In'these ten years of toil, the bov. by twilight, lirelight, and on Sundays, had read over one thousand volumes of history, eeocrraohy. bio- aphy, and general literature, norrowea irom e school libraries and from those of generous individuals. "At twentv-one he was his own master to begin the world, ana in lookin? over his inven tory for starting in life, found a sound and healthful body, and a mind trained to reflection by solitary th'otmht. He went to Natlck, Mass., to learn the trade ot a shoemaker, at which, working two years, he saved enough money to attend the academy at Concord and Wollsbo rough, N. H. But the man with w hom he had deposited, his liara earnings Decame insolvent; the money he had toiled so long tor vanished; aud he was obliged to leave his studies, go back to Nutick, and make more. Undiscouraged, he resolved still to pursue his obiect, uniting it with his daily toil, tie lormed adenatmg society among the young mechanics of the place; inve-.-tieated subjects, read, wrote, and spoke on all the subjects ot the day, as the spirit within him gave him utterance. Among his fellow-me- cnanics some otners were eusmuieu Dy nis in fluence, aud are now holding high places in the literary and diplomatic world. In 1H40 young wuson came lorward as a pito- lio speaker. He eugaged in the Harrison elec tion campaign, auti uiaae sixty speeches in aoout lour months, aud was well repaid by his share in the triumph ot the purty. He was then elected to the Massachusetts Legislature as repre sentative troni Nat'.ck. Haviuc entered lite ou the worktusman s side, and known by his own experience the woikinguinn's tmis, temptations, sand nard t-trueglee, ho felt the iueredne.ss ot a poor man's labor, and entered public life with a heart to tuke tin part of the toilius and the oppressed. "Ut course lie was (jiuck to teei mat tne great question of our tune w as the question ot labor and its rights aud rewaids. He was quick to ieel the 'irrepressible conflict which Seward so happily designated between the two modes of society ex'mtiua in America, and to know that they must tie-tit and struggle till one of them throttled and killed the other: and prompt to feel this, he made bin early election to live or die on the side of the Inboring poor, whose more oppressed type was the African slave. "In the Legislature he introduced a motion against the extension of slave territory; and in 1M5 went with Whittier to Washington, with the remonstrance of ilaachusetts against tne admission ot Tenas as a slave Slate. 'When the w his party became inelticient in the cause ot liberty, iuroiii.li too niuco deier euce to the slave-po a or, Henry Wilson left it, ami lipi-fime one of the most enercretic aud effi cient organizers in tonr.ing the tree-soil party ot .liassac lUSCIls. in .i iur-u-ms ul- uuueni a dailv nuper in loton. which lor some time he edited with trrcai uu.i.iv. 'Meanwhile ho rose to one step of houor after another In his adonic htate: ne became Presi dent ot the Massachn-efM Senate; and at length, alter a well-contested election, was sent to take the pluee of the accomplistteil Kverett in the t. lilted Mates Senate."

He died in this city oh the 2d lnst., aged seventy-lour yr8' . , . nir. sanacrson was oorn in unrusie, l-ennsyiva nia, in 1702, and, himself the son of a Revolu tionary sire, volunteered in a company about to join the army during the war ot 1812, which he accidentally encountered wnue in searcn ot em ployment. On the restoration of peace he occu pied himself in collecting materials for the great national work entitled "ine wioerapny oi tne Siimers of the Declaration ot Independence," which was published by himself and brother the celebrated author, John . Sanderson con- Jointly. He was subsequently employed as publisher and printer of the noted Aurora, in which he ad vocated Verv stronirlv the election of Andrew Jackson to the Presidency. His next occupation was that ol the proprietor ot the Mercnanw Coffee House in l'hilaoelphia.and editor and pub lisher of the Philadelphia Prices Vurretit. As the commerce and trade of the city in creased, so did the wants and ambition of its merchant?, and the humble coffee-house .was merged in the splendid Exchange, which still stands a monument of his energy and enterprise. Ousted from his position as superintendent of that institution during the stormy political con test between the stern Jackson and tho moneyed leviathan ot tuat dav the Unired States Bank he became a hotel-keeper, as w hich he was most lavorahly known all throughout the Untied States, especially in the Western ones. To him Philadelphia was indebted tor the first hotel ever erected, as such, in that city the Mer chants' Hotel which he subsequently relin quished lor a more splendid establishment, also new, in Cuesnut street. In 1848 nn sold out his luteiest and retired from public lite entirely, re moving shortly alter to ;ev York, where he has ever since resided. A man of enlarged and liberal views, ho has ever sought the public good before his own personal interest, and, although the undoubted oricrinator ana Inveutor of many useful Improvements, would never consent to fetter their dissemination by a patent. Chief among them may be named the speakiner tubes now in use in almost every binldintr, public and private, throughout tue land, and a very noted heater ami cookina stove, ereatlv in vogue in Philadelphia, Whd? recomiizius the specialties of tho various states, he always contended that the State of bis birth was, irom its position, mineral weulth, and agricultural resources, reully the keystone ot the arch. Pennsylvania never hud a more devoted son, and to him is she, in a great measure, indebted for ono of her euiei unerica in nuje, tue Ueaaiuu nuiuunu, which he ever regarded as a lavonte child. Coming in direct contact with the fathers of his country, few men were better posted in tho earlier bu-tory of the republiu and the compro mises of the Constitution. His knowledge ol the statistics ot the country was sotucth'ue auiazinu, carrying, a be did. tiie henres relating to its trade, commerce, and productive resources at his linger end's. Ot a kind and gautle disposi tion, he was never so happy as when making others so, and but few men could converse with him without carrying away with them some novel jaca or usejui mtormation.
