The agent, hoover, applied himself to carry the order inio effect as toon ai mignt be. In the mean lime the young not aware ol the difficulties in the way of thuir young atrflnt, sent a special mea- sengrr to New York, with full power to negotiate final settlement with their agent, if thereby a gifen sum of money could realized. It a curious coincidence that John Qrvig, oil his itart to Europe, and the company's messenger, landing in America, met together on the quay at New York.

Tlie messenger at once made know his errand and his powers and, although nominal securities in the hands of the agent amount to ly million, yet for ready meney, the messenger ofTcred to accept one half the amount, and give a full discharge to the agent, 1 suppose this agent looked upon these landed securities pretty much in the light as did tliu uccvnmo Sitlny Smith upon Pennsylvania bunds, in the time of repudiation as it called and it is dtffi cult to say which was most correct in his opmion-ihey both like sillychil- dran, and acted accordingly. On the contrary. John Greig, well that the million of pounds, with seven percent, iii- terest, would ba realized to last ny. as ceriamly ss if he held a certificate deposit for that amount from the bank of England. lid accordingly stepped into three or four of the largest bnn Irs in N.SW York, where his credit stood high-raised (he money required-- louk his discharge and thus, by half an hour's labor put Imll a million of pounds in his pocket!

He returned. After tramping over his unlive highlands, nnd mocking the birds bv rustic' reeds, he had often dorm HI his boyhood, he placed all his relatives, oven to the remote cousins, above want and then made a tour of the continent of Europe. By this time, Louis Philippe was Kmgol French, tirid in the achem of his regal glory. On theshephtird boy's sending up tin card to the royal presence, as John Greig, late of Canandaigua, America," recollections of early scenes lushed vividly upon the mind of the monarch and. laying aside his royal slate.he went quickly to the door, threw tt open, and expanding his arms, fervently ad John Greig to ins bosom.

It was a whole month beforo the Scottish shepherd boy eouUi himself from the urgent cordiality of Ins old friend, now wearing the proudest crown in Europe. John must sit by hta aide at dinner, play at chess and crtbbage with him in his library, ride by his side in sport such as they practised thirty-five years previously in forests of the new world. When he left the court ol St.Cloud.it was. as John Greig afterwards said, tearing himself from the home of his youth, and the embrace of a father. I his circumstance should he remembered as highly creditable to 1 the social virtues of the once great but now 1 fallen monarch.

1 On Mr. Greig's return to America, he erected a splended mansion house, or rather castle, on the rising ground north of Canandaigua, after a model he biought with him from Europe. To this place he retired, indulging his fine taste in decoration of the grounds, where he still reposes upon bis wealth, his horor, and his hair- couch, philosophically sliding down the hill of lile, rewarded by the respect and esteem of all who knew him. Hrs courtyard is of an ovnl form, with a fountain of pure water gushing up in the centre; and it is surrounded by marble busts of Homer.

Every qualification veemed to cluster in him; and it was confidently believed that the army would not receifeanj appointment over him. What was the.ii to be done 1-Difficulties thickened at every step. The straggle was to belong and bloody. Without union all was lost.

The country must come iQr One pulsation must through all hearts. The cause was one and the army must be one. Tbe members had talked, debated, considered and guessed, and yet the decisive step had not been taken. At length Mr. Adams came to his conclusion.

The means of resolving It were somewhat singular, and nearly aa follows--he was walking one morning before Congress Hall apparently in deep thought when his cousin Samuel AdamS came up to him and What is the topic with you this morn- ins Oh! the army, the ho replied, I'm determined to go into the hall this morning, and enter on a full detail of the state of the colonies in order to show the absolute need of taking some decisive steps. My whole aim will be to induce Congress to appoint the day adopting the army aa the legal army of these united colonies of North America, and then to hint at my election of commander in-Chief'" Well," said Samuel Adams, I like that cousin John, but on whom have jou fixed aa tbat commander." I will tell you--George Waahington.of Virginia, a member of this house," Ah," replied Samuel Adams quickly that will never do." It must do.it flhall do said John, "and for those reasons tbe Southern and Middle Statcs.are both to enter heartily in the cause and their arguments are potent! they say that New England holds the physical power in her hands, and they fear the result. A New England commander, with New England perseverance, all united appal this cause they hang back. Now the only course is to allay tneir fears, and give them nothing to complain of, and' this can be done in no other way but, by appointing Southern chief over this force, and then nil with rush to tho standard. This policy will blend us in one mass, and that mass will be resistless.

At this Samuel Adams was greatly moved. They talked over the preliminary circumstances, and John asked his cousin to second the motion. Mr. Adams went in, took the put all his strength in the delineation he had prepared, all aiming at the adoption of the army. Ho was ready to own the army, appoint a commander, -vote supplies, and proceed to business.

After hia speech had been finished, some doubted, some feared. His warmth increased with this occasion, and to all those doubts and hesitations, he replied. Gentlemen, if this Congress will not THEtEHtfCRAT. A I WISCONSIN. SATURDAY, OBEC.

If we had tbe selection, we would reject tbe batch, and take a man from tbe many-who are not talked of now, who would fill tbe place with distinguished ability and bonor to tbe state and effectually settle tbe question of personal politics for some tine to come. But what the legislature will do, is a matter of much greater uncertainty. It will depend very much on tha run of the cards."

Times may be better, can't be worse," elected Gen. Harrison President of tbe United States.and the same argument will elect banks in Wisconsin over all convictions of right or duty.

The result of all this will be, that the democratic party will be knocked end-wise for a Whiggery will triumph with banks; then will come the revulsion, the sober second thought, but too late to repair the evil; the party will be larger and stronger than ever, but it will take many years to restore the sound policy under which the state is now made the model democratic state of the Union.

This is our opinion. What will be done with the slavery question We trust nothing.

The next day I went to Waukesha, to ascertain fully the precise course that Hyer intended to pursue; and on my arrival, found him about to start, aa he said, to see me. and he much fcatitfaction at my arrival. He presented, lo me a letter which he had written declining tbe nomination of Senator, and said that he bad done so cheerfully, tlie bolter to enable him to repair the grent wrong he now knew by had done me. 1 advised him his letter, as 1 wished no man 10 make such a sacrifice, on my account.

then handed me an oniclo headed Andrew E. Elmore," which urged upon his readers my support, a lid explained the cuuae of his conduct, in not previously placing my name at the head of his paper. He asked me to point out any thing in ihe article 1 wished altered, or to make any suggestions in regard to it; but the article was satisfactory, and Hyer taking the article from my band, gave it to of his printers, who commenced to put it in He snid he. would have his paper printed on Saturday, three days in advance of its usual publication, and all would be right. That evening, with others in company, I passed in Hyer's office, he appearing in good spirits, and after a suggestion which he thought would benefit me, mrnle ihe remark lhat he had not felt so well smc ihe election bad been talked of, as then.

During the evening Hyer showed me a letter which he bad written to Lucas Sen- ver, and said he intended to write a similar letter to Wm. E. Cramer, for publication, to remove, as soon as possible, any false impression lhat might be got out, on account of bis not having raised my name. Thai evening, at Hyer's request, I wrote a letter to a friend, who he would oppose i and it being suggested that an address in German might be of service, I also wrote a letter in Hyer's office to Frftlney Herzberg, in relation thereto I was called from the office about 8 o'clock that evening, arid was then informed of the meeting said to have been held oi Summit, of which meeting 1 disapproved, and was un'il that nmc in ignorance. 1 returned 10 Flyer's office arid informed him of the Summit meeting, and after some further'conversation, 1 left i the fullest confidence that the Waukeshu Democrat would appear on Saturday, with lluwe articles therein, doing me justice.

The next day 1 went to Walworth county, and I told my friends everywht re thai there had been a misunderstanding between Mr. Hyer and myself, which no longer existed, and lhat the Waukesha Democrat was going to give me a worm support. On Monday, 28th I again visited aukesha. I had looked for Mr. letters in the Milwaukee papers i finding them, and thu WauUeaha Democrat not having arrived, made me fear something had gone wronjr, and I went immediately to Hyer's office On my i i i if the pnper was out, he il was not, and that he wanted to hive a urging upon me the importance, also, of me oul a)c making sore that in the event of my fail-J eed ings of the Summit meeting, and that ure to obiain a nomination, no other person Mrnommee Assembly District from (Waukesha county should get Convention, bad altered the complexion of made publicly responsible for ita paternity.
