unpublished contribution from his pen in j
relation to the social habitudes which rre

iled atom "Republican Court" in the

ved a new interest sirce the death of their
writer has precluded the hope of any addi-
tional communications, such as our readers
were annually favored with on the iilld of

have concluded no longer to withhold from
them the last contribution penned by "the

, public buildings. Considerable additions
: and improvements were made made to the
original building, with a view to its accom
modation of the President's household ; still
the rooms were small, and the whole estab
lishment but indifferently fitted for the pur
poses reijuircd.
Thc equipages of tho President were
wcll provided for, the stabling for twelve
horses being extensive and commodious,
and the coach-houses largo and convenient.
Washington's unmitigated, untiring em
ployment and labor made it necessary that
he should have some mode of public recep
tion for the many visitors who wero con
tinually seeking opportunities of paying
their respects and presenting their letters
of introduction ; hence the
piihdent't levee
on Tuesdays, commencing at I and ending
at 4 o'clock. At these receptions there
was no shaking of hands, the Chief recei
ving his visitors as President of tho United
States, and not as Cicn. Washington The
foreign Ministers attended the levee iu full
costume, and often introduced persons of
distinction from their respective countries.
All strangers of distinction embraced the
opportunity of thc levee to pay their re
spects to the Chit f Magistrate. The Pres
ident was plainly but handsomely dressed,
nis uair in mil powuer, and wearing a dress i
sword. He was attended bv his principal
Secretary, Mr. Lear, Major Jackson, and
thc other gentlemen of his family. 1 Ie ad
dressed a few words of courtesy to the vis
itors as they were presented. Juc com pa

The ladies visiting the drawing-room
were always attended by gentlemen. It was
not the habit for very young girls to be
present at the drawing-room, but only those 1
of the age when it is proper for ladies to'
go into company. Ppon the ladies being ;
introduced they were seated, and the Pres. J

room, passed round the circle, paying his i

The diffiucult tank of selecting dele
gates to the Natianal Convention, we cxpe-
I rience some of thc same embarrassment
in speaking, as the committee to which was
committed thc duty t.f harmonising the
views of delegates from thc differcst dis
tricts, must have received. I'nder the in
structions of the Convention, and with a
view to approximate to the views of those
who desired a choice by Districts, the com
mittee was required to consult with thc re
presentatives of the Districts; and in most
cases the latter presented their candidates
in writing to thc committee Arias.
This ostentatious aflectatiot; of fairness is
doubtless appreciated by those for whom it
was intended. What sheer mockery to talk
about " approximating to the views of those
who desired a choice by Districts," wb u
the entire Delegation are sent to Charleston
muzzled and with collar about their necks,
and only allowed to act " as a unit" under
thc orders of Richmond, ('agger and Co !
It is fif very little consequence to the
" 1 lards" whether they have a fourth patt
or a tenth part of thc Df legation, or even
whether they are represented iu it at all.
since they have no liberty of action allowed
them in it. To all intents and tiurio-
scs, they would lc just aU.ut as well oil al
Charleston if there was not a single "Hard"
among thc Delegates. They are regarded
as recaptured "'fugitives from service or
labor." and their new masters will treat
them as such. The only wouder is that
they allowed themselves to lie t rapt id so
