APAR., DWG )
Mistrusr.k. There is in you • tendency to
sing. Song is your avocation and you have
upon occasion sung sweetly. Once yon soared
into the realms of imagination and snstained
yourself upon the wing until you bad changed
• •'strong minded" woman, with whom you took
your flight, into a real woman who had learn
ed and aceepted her true condition here That
is the greatest and best of your effort The
rest are pretty attempts, such ►s almost any
woman with a fancy could make
But you are a man, having the poetical fac
ulty working in you I think it is working in
you more with the intention of articulating it
self, than in any:other human being at this
time. And this is why I take an interest in
you
You must not believe, however, that I stn
of the opinion that because the poctio fac
ulty only works fur articulation in you. it is
dead in others, not at all. Poesy never die.,
indeed, there may be more and more intense
poetry when her eloquence is silent, than at
periods when her children are singing like the
birds in a grove of a spring morning I think,
fbr instance, to-day that Poesy is confined,
like some of the genii of the Arabian Sights,
within the riveted platea of a steam engine boil.
er, where she has been at work for an age or
taro ; the effect of her work there when the
boiler is rubbed with the piston like Alladin's
lamp, say, the effect of her.work nut unnotice
able outside
But there are no word poets any more,—
aingert,—minstrels You come the nearest to
one, Lut what do you sing Excepting the
pretty notion in the Princess, what have you
done for t us • Yet you are the laureate --hired
for your great nation
Have
.)ou nothing to tell us about except
what yell ean find in Lombard street, or Thread-
needle street, or in the looney article of the
!name, as witness) our 11ta1 ballad, idyl of
city cletk, and his wife sho had been cheated
stocidi ' Is their nothing in the history of
the world or of England. since Shakspeare last
tang of 'it, that is poetical enough for your
Lyre tlyst you must rart,aneklng the

silk as there is the least necessity for; but she
is so beautiful, say the modistes, she deserves

PRESIDENT'S' ,SPECIAL MR.RA7 4G p,
To ois House Representatsues :
After a delay which has afforded me am
ple time for reflection, and after much and
careful deliberation, I find myself con
strained by an imperious sense of duty, as
a co-ordinate branch of the Federal Gov
ernment; to protest against the first two
clauses of the first resolution adopted by
the Rouse of Representatives, on the sth
init., and publudied in the C•bagresnorico
globe tin the succeeding day. These claw,-
aware in. the following words: "Resolved
that*, committee of five members be ap
pointed by the Speaker, for . the purpose
Ora() of investigating whether the Presi
amt. of the United States, or any other
officer of the Government, has, by money,
patmmage or other improper means,.isought
to influence the action of Congress, or any
committee thereof, for or fig:urea the pass
sage of any Jaw appertaining to the right
of any State or ieritory i" (and 2d, I "Also.
to inquire into and investigate whether
any officer or officers of the Government
have, by condonation or otherwise, pre
vented or detested, or attempted to preven t
or defeat, the execution of any law or Jaw,
now upon the statute book, and whether
the President has faded or refused to com
pel the execution of any law thereof."
confine rnyself exclusively to these two
branches of the resolution ; because the
portion of t w filch follow relate to alleged
abuse-. 4 in p•:c4t,offees, navy yards, public
building'., and other public works of the
United States. In such cases inquiries are
highly proper in themselves, and belong
equally to the Senate and the House, a,
incident, to their legidative duties, and be•
mg necessary to enable them to discover
and to provide the appropriate legislative
remedies for any abuses which may be sok
eertained. Although the terms of the let
ter portions of the resolution are extremely
vague and general, yet my sole purpose in
adverting to them at present Is to mark
the broad line of distinction between the
accusatory and the remedial clauses of this
resolution. The House of Representatives
possess no power under the Constitution
over the first or accusatory portion of the
resolution, except as an impeaching body •
whilst over the last, in common with the
Senate, their authority as a legislative tx - al%
is fully and cheerfully admitted.
It is solely in reference to the first n i
impeaching power that I propose to mak,.
It few observations. Except in this singie
calf., the Constitution has investad the
House of Representatives with no power.
no jurisdiction, no supremacy whatever
over the President. In all other respects
he is quite as independent of them as the y
are of him. As a co-ordinate branch of the
fiovernment, he Is their equal. Indeed.
he is only the direct representative on
earth of the people of all and each of the
sovereingnStates. To them, and to them
alone, is he responsible whilst acting with
in the sphere of his constitutional duty ,
and not in any manner to the House of
Representatives. The people have tho't
proper to invest him with the most honor
able, responsable and dignified of in the
