friend or a secretary, to be written over
—Soften to:the loss of vigor. But the thot’s
were his own, vigorously expressed, and
without effurt, writing with a rapid pen,
and never blottcring or altering ; but as
Carlylo says of Cromwell bitting the nail
upon the bend os he went. 1 have n great
deal of bis writing now, some on public nf
fuirs and covering several sheets of paper
and no erasure or intcrliniaiions unyvt here.
His conversation was like his writing, a
vigorous flowing current apparently with
out the troublo of thinking, and always
impressive. His conclusions wore rapid
und immovable, .when lie was under strong
convictions though oflen yielding in minor
points to his friends. And no tnan yield
ed quicker, when he was convinced per
fectly illustrating the difference between
firmness and obstinacy. Of all the Presi
dents who have done mo the honor to lis
ten to my opinions, there was no one to
whom I spoke with more confidence when
] lull myself to be in the right.
He hud a load to carry all his life, re
sulting from n temper which refused com
promise and bargains, nnd went for a clean
victory, or n clean T*ofca», in every case.
Hence every step ho took was a contest,
nnd it rnav be added, every contest was a
victory. I have already said that he was
elected a Major. General in Tennessee —on
election on which so mucli afterwards de
pended—by one vote. His appointment
in the U. S. regular army was a conquest
from the administration, which bad twice
refused to appoint him a Brigadier, nnd
orce disbanded him ns a volunteer Gen
eral, and yielded to bis military victories.
His election ns President was a victory
over ■ politicians—ns was every leading
event of his administration.

Michigan is the lust Stu'e which has adop

In ihis city most of the liquor establish

made. There is not now an open grog

sisting the execution of the law. What a
change! Tenantless whiskey casks are in
some sections of the cny obstructing the

the jubilee is universal. We urn gratified
to see that our principal liquor dealers

and say llmv will not sell while the law
is sustiiiner. This is true of ull the hotels
and wholesale deulers. If they abide by
this decision, we opine it will be a long
day before they commence again.

In London you cnn get tho Times, dai
ly, for littlo or nolhing. You subscribe-at
a newspaper bnll for it to be left for you a
nine o’clock—for say ono hour. Puneta
ally at ten the owner calls and furnishes
the same number to a subscriber, who
wants it at that hour. At 11 o’clock
another gets it, nnd so on, and frequently
until 12 or ono o’clock, and even as lato
as 2P. M. You can have it furnished
thus by the week, month, quarter, or year.
It is left promptly at the hour barguined
lor, and you must expect to give it up at
“sight call.” Perhaps you arc in tho mid
dle of the Paris correspondent —or tho de
bates, or lute foreign intelligence. It makes
no difference. You must stop or buy an
extra copy.
After the city readers arc through with
the sheet, it is mailed off to tho country.
You arc forbidden to cut the pnper, and if
it becomes defaced, must pay for it. In
Liverpool, well-to-do people will club lor
one cop if of the Daily Times , and a phle*
rnulic Joint Bull will rend the paper tho
day alter his for years, perfect
ly satisfied to exist ono duy behind tho
times. The poor rarely enjoy the privi
lege of rending a first class paper. r I h»
chop houses and drinking shops general
ly take ono paper only, and it is part of
the inducements set forth in signs—“two
morning papers taken hore.”
In America every man has his own pa
per. It must come to him fresh, nnd un
touched. Jonathan reads, nnd is fastidi
ous withal. If he cannot afford a fust
class journal, he likes his penny sheet.—
He veuds it thoroughly, nnd it becomes
a part ol his existence. He talks, about it
—spreads its news, and is proud of its
success. Thus a fair field of competition
is created. A paper of merit nnd enter
prise is suro ol success, for every subscri
ber is a living, talking, walking pdvertiaSt
ment and special agent.
A man never vulues a pao*"; w h; c h ho
gets for nothing. re is something in
tlio fact ol h»" |n g p a jj for it which gives
pnmv.“ idr nttmetion in his eves. Ho re
gards it as his property, nnd looks upon
the etlilor ns merely a person managing
his, the sdbscriber’s business. There is
a great deal in tho well known fnco of a
paper. A man who is devoted to a jour
nal which he has rend duily for years,
cenßes to prize it, if the.proprietorchange?
its general appenrence.
The editor himself, may die, or change
—the original proprietors pass away, but
the pnper is still tuken, its sentiments re
ceived, its words listened to, and its news
relied on. A paper with only a thousand
subscribers lias more power than ten thou
sand men. The London Times can rev
olutionize Europe, The' Throne of Eng
land is at the mercy of its power. In the
United States, no ons papor has such sway
but any paper, however obscure, it in the
right can crush any influence
powerful, if wrong. —American Times*
