 "The tempest of party has subSlded, aad we are now in full frultIon of the effects Of tho storm. The political ocean has been heaved to ltS depths, and drsgs and filth float upon It's surface. The foam of its pillows Is ttirbid with the admixture Of dlecOrdAnt par' ticles. FederalistS and Republicans, Cruw- fordites and Calhounites, are thrown togeth: CT in one inexplcablO mass. TariiIites and AntilTarfFites, atitudnarians and literal con- Vtructionists, all riot and revel In the political confusion of the times, all rcVolve round one common centre, and receive light and heat from the same source. What will be the effect upon the policy and character of the country by this combination of heterogeneous materials time alone must disclose. There is, however, one thing certain, "the wheels of Government" cannot run smoothly, while men of such variant views direct their move. merts. The next Congress will be evidently political salmagundi, hearing the marks by which Jacob laid claim to the cattle of Laban, ringmiddled, speckled, and streaked.

But we have promised to support tho present Administration. we can over find any thing to say in lts favor: 50 we must not commit ourselves too hastily, and our correspondent must therefore excuse us for not publishing his nomination..

Pickering, whose excr- tions to improve tho stock Of domestic animals in thls country, we have had occasion hereto. fore to notice, passed through this village last week on hls return from E0gland, with several fine specimens of Leicestershire and Lincolnshire sheep, 10 In number. He also had beautiful Shetland stud, two shepherds' dogs, md three English pheasants, which he was taking along with him. Mr. Pickering resides at Nn English settlement in Illinois, called Albion, and it is hts intention to intro. duce extensively tn his adopted State, the growth ofthe sheep above mentioned, the first Of which. known as Blackwell breed, is tn. nous for It's mutton, and the second for It's fine long fleece. From one of the latter, on the passage over, 10 l-4 pounds of wool was clip ped tn one shearing. He has little doubt also. ofbeing able to naturalize the pheasant, and making it common In our lorests. E3u6alo D.
