4. Don't talk about your application to any body
but your own immediate friends (and the less you
say about it to them the better, without your init
mate friends are more worthy OF that title than l
have found mne.) Don't repeat the conversation
OF the President-and for gracious sake, don't say
to any body any thing that leads them to suppose
that his words, his look, or his manner, kindled
the slightest hope In your breast


5. Ii you have a friend In the cabinet that will in
himself in your behalf, go him and tell HIM
what you have done, ana ask him TO help you-and
don't bore HIM either-he can't and won, bear II,
not near halt well as the President, for several
reasons. First, there Is not man In his cabinet,
perhaps, except. Gov. Marcy, who can do, or who
will do as much business or work as many hours a

Washington unless you have business there, andge'
through with that as soon as you can. And when
YOU are once seated in the car or steamboat, and
your back is turned on Washington, say nothing
