The Authorship of the Letters about the Livery of the President's Servants. It has recently come to light here, that the roorbacks concerning the livery of the President's coachman and carriage attendant, which appeared at the North a few months since, were written by no other than the gentleman upon whom Senator Douglas fixed the authorship of the letters from bogus members of the Democratic National Committee from Texas and Iowa, written in the summer of 1852, calling on the various Democratic Presidential aspirants for their views upon certain very important public questions. These letters, it will be remembered, were designed as a trap, into which those addressed should be caught, to the damage of the prospect for the nomination of each. It further appears that the writer was induced to pen the livery roorbacks because President Pierce had overlooked his claims; or, rather, refused point blank, to give him an office.
