Since most of theist 'elnifislrettirnekwith txvery:
large airs par ticulailiiively'flea in their cers;, the
trip has gone somewhat out of fashion, although
occasionally a prilitician, unusually supplied with
'Self esteem, bendi his course thither..
. Amongst ilieinriV"ala 6uncora on the 13th of
November, 'as We announced last week, is regis•
tered at the ihneriorn Hole!, the name of ," L C.
ILird, Bradford, Pennsylvania " A great inquiry
Iris arisen as to Who "1.. C. .is. is it an
alias, used to cover some one's irack,or is,it a
'bitnafirle name—one Which the owner lance asharn
ed to ack,nowledge, al home or abroad) Was the
0 owner of thicriams visiting Concord on brisk
nests or pleasure, or was he one of those who were
in such indecent haste to thrust themselves 'upon
the notice of the President elect? All these queries
have been raised—but one still greater presents
itself—" Who is L. C. Hurd!" The -"oldest in.•
habitant" has, in his memory no such name be.
longing to a resident cf this County. Friend in
terrogates friend, and neighbor, 'neighbor, but all
in train. Mr. Hord is an unknown, undiscovered,
pi-stet:ens personage, and people begirt to doubt
if Such an Individual ever existed. .
We take great pleasure in announcing to our
readers that we hays accidently been placed ,in
possession of some importance, throwing light upon
the.existerwe and doings of this individual, suppos
ed to be mythical. Such we assure our leaders, is
.not the fact. There is such , a person as L. C.
licUe"•hai:ing from . " Bradford, Pa and the en
graving at the head of this article is correctly copied
from a daguerreotype of that gentleman, which
came into our hands as explained below. We
Trust that we shall shortly be able tally to unravel
the mystery which bangs about this mysterious I
matter.
The leuer below is from a citizen of this place,
enclosing two letters from " mine hos►;' of the
"American Hotel" at ,Concord, N. H., together
with a daguerreotype, which we have procured to
bo engraved expressly for the " Reporter," at a
heavy expense:
Editor of the Reporter :—Your enquiry of last
Saturday as 'to a "'Mr. Hord," brings to my recol.
leetion a correspondence with Mr: Gass, of the
American Hotel at Cohcord. N. H. Hoping that
they may throw some light upon a matter which
puzzles me—l send you his letters, and the accom
panying daguerreotype. Truly yours.
Dear Sir;-1 forward you a Daguerreotype like
ness, which you a-e requested to Land to your fel.
low-citizen L. V. Hutto, Esq., who visited this place
the 13th of last mouth. 'By so doing you wi,l
much oblige, , Yours truly,
, [1 o this letter an answer was returned, that no
person answering to the name of C.. Mao was
known in this County, and asking from the pro.
prio.or of the "American" soma information in
tegard to the gentleman. The following is the
answer ]
Mrsatcsw Dom, Concord, Dee. 2, 1852.
Dear Sir:—Your letter informing me that Mr.
HCIID was unknown to you, was duly received, and
1 am astonished to hear that a gentleman of such
vast political influence as I supposed Mr. Huan to
possess, should be unknown to you, even by name.
I can give you no further ioformation of him, than
that he arrived at the " American" on Saturday,
Nov. 13, the clerk registering his name, L. C.
Hard, Bradford, Pa. A slight mistake may possibly
have occurred in entering the name, but I think not.
The gentleman immediately enquired for General
Pirtes, and ascertair.ing that he was lbsent at
Boston, requer ted the names of several of his most
intimate political friends, which I readily gave hint.
I judged from his conversation that he was a per
son of immense political influence, although I
could not clearly determine whether he was in quest
of a foreign mission for himself, cr had in charge
the interests of the great statesman who -is every
where known as the " Favorite Son" of your State.
He had repeated conversations with several of Mr.
PIVICeS friends who called upon him at my house,
treating them like a gentleman—thinking nothing
of ordering a dozen of Champaign, and London
Dade ad infinetum. That his labors resulted to his
entire satisfaction, I em not clear, ant observed that
towards the latter part of his stay, he became some=
what fidgetty and uneasy.
As Gen. Prance had pot returned from
,Boston,
Mr. Ha shortly before his departure, laced in
My hands a package which he requested me per
sonally to deliver to the General. I did so, up'n
his, return, remarking that it must be something of
great iMporiance, and the Gen. requested me to
waft a moment until he opened it. After removing
sefiral envelopes, he came to a morocco dag nem,.
type case, containing; a lock. of hair. - and enote.
which informed the President elect that the former,
was 'the "counterfeit presentiment" 'of Mr. "L, 0.
Hurd, Bradford, Pa.,"white - the caPillitteous offer
ing.was shorn'fromhe head of the same gentleman
—and Moth were presented to the Gen., . as a mark
of the distinguished respect and, esteem in which he
'was held by the donor; at the same time expressing
'many regrets that he had not seen him perionally—
but assuring him that. he• had folly advised his.
friends as to the proper , course. for the in-coming
Adniitiiitnition to pursue, particularly as regarded
'Peraittylvania. - • - " • • 1 - - - • - -

'. He will beheld, and justly so,yeeponsible. to the

tive Orthe whole • country, literally knowing' 6 • no'
north, no south, no east, no west.' in the admihis•
(ration of the government ; and his cabinet must be
embued wiiii the since national Maas ant purposes,
acting for the eonntry, and not each Tor tt section.--
His cabinet nam.t be a obit—fully harmonizing in
all their views, csrdially seconding the ,deterrnina
;ions of the President, and vigorously laboring to
carry not every measure of public policy to which.
the administrati .n msy be committed. Upon this
. depends the succes of the administration's without
this. all the labors of the .President ,for the public
welfare will be futile, and the most devoted and.
seltsaerificing efforts on his part, will end in Komi!.
ration to himself, and' dismaceto the country.
.' Now, how must such a cabinet be selected 1—
The President is responsible for their acts. and he
should select them, not take them at the bidding of
others. 'By this we &tun mean that - beshould dig
regard inerefuse to listen to such suggestions as
may be made to him; and those who know General
Pierce knotty well that he will not act hastily or no.
advisedly in so vastly an important matter. But
we mean that, having diligently sought for andcare.
fully considered all the information that it is In his
power io 'obtain, he should then decide according to
the dictates of his own judgment ; and those who
know him need no assurance that he trill do so,
conscientiously and fearlessly. .
"General Pierce knows well the prominent and
leadinonen of the Union, their history, their char
acters, their qualifications and - their positions at
honie and before the country; and with such aid as
he will avail himself, we have no fears that he will
not select proper men—men of broad national views,
sound judgment. sterling ability, strict integrity and
correct principles—men who will not use their pla
ces for their own emolument. or as a stepping stone
to further promotion, but who will devote their en.
ergies to the success of their administration and the
permanent weltareof the country, seekingi,the hon.
or of being faithful servants as the reward of oatris*
ic service.' • -
Premising that many. mill be disappointed lin a
case in which there are only seven places to be dis
tributed among fifty persons named for them, the
Patriot goes on to remark :
" The supposed claims of individuals and of sect
ions must yield to the paramount, considerations of
the unity of the cabinet, and the success of the ad
ministration which is so dependent thereon. And
the idea that any section of the party is to be pro
scribes', or its claims entirely disregarded in the se
lection of Cabinet officers, is, in our opin:on, ,unt
founded. All sections of the deinocratic party curt
dially united in the late canvass to restore the goy
etnment in the hands of the democracy : and doting
that canvass it was everywhere declared by ourpa.
pers and speakers, that all who stood boldly upon
the Baltimore platform and supported onr
dates, were to be regarded as democrats. All such
are to be thus treated now,; And it seems to as that
if a man is in every other respect the proper man,
in the opinion of the President fora cabinet officer,
the fact that he formerly belonged to this or that
section into which the party may have been , divided
in any state, should not prevent his selection.
80, too, with the idea that the holding of official
position heretofore, should influence the decision in
regard to any man. In our opinion, this will neith
er exclude any one, nor weigh in his favor. If
den. Pierce should conclude that certain ,members
of Mr. Polk's cabinet can subserve the public in ter
eSts better than others, as members of his cabinet,
we see no reasuu why he should not select them.—
His sole desire must be to promote the welfare. pros •
perky and honor of the country, and he will wish to
call around him the best men—those who, under all
the circumstances, are hest calculated to old him
most etlect nal ly in administering the great trust con
fitted to him by the American people. And it is of
little moment to him or them whether these men
have been cabinet ministers, members of either
hon=e of Congress, foreign ministers, orsimply psi
vale citizens : all that any one should demand is
that the men shall be "up to the mark on all the
great questions of the day," and equarto the duties
required of them.
ME!
• Such , are our ",notions" upon this subject; and
they 'coma) us to be reasonable.aad such as will
commend themselves to the good sense of the De.
mocracy of the country: It is their desire and 'ex.
pectationthat the administration of Gee. Pierce may
be the most sticcessful, brilliant and permanently,
athiantageous to the country that we have.ever had ;
arid to enable him to make it so, they will forego all
minor consideration, all personal and local prefer.
enzes and prejudices in regard to individuals who
may be selecied . as hie constitutional *advisers , and
will cheerfully yield him their confidence and zeal.
one support . They will not ask if this man be an
" old fogy," or that one a partisan of" Young.Ameti
ica."—if this one has belonged to this section or
that one to the uther setion of the party, but the only
questions will be whether the men are honest, ca
pable and faithful to the constitution.' having the
w.ll and the ability to second the views and carry
out the policy of the sagacious, energetic and patri
°ode Stalest-ciao whom the people have placed at the
head ot7 tlie government." ' '
All this, we think, so clear that it needs no com
merit. :
