empire is divided, are concentrating their energies
developing their plans, and rapidly preparing TO add
another batch to the folly of the past and the chara
f,n,sm of the present age The democrats, wings
and ocofocos are all busy trying 10 upset each others
scheuies from one end of the country TO the other
We are in a state of amusing civil wal, in which
men and wcmen, rogues and honest men, fools and
philosophers are playing their several parts.
BEING permitted by their amiable wives and lovely
Young daughters, the old ones of Tammany Hall
have Just published correspondence between the
editor of the Madisonian," and their own wise
railtec in which their purpose is avowed TO oppose
locofocoism and the Globe. Very naively they also
request the Argus and the Globe to publish this sin
guar movement
We shall soon the elements at work. Will the
Globe refuse TO grant this request? Will the Argus
decline If the Argus publishes, will the 'lope
quarrel?
We are certainly on the threshold of a curious con-
test fight in the ranks of the administrator party
might bring forth some droll secrets. Every morning
and evening, at the tail of our prayers, we always
bring in postscript, wishing that the Lord may, IN
his mercy, permit all the three parties wings, deme-
Gratis and ocofocos, to give each other one OF the
soundest lckings they ever had in their whole past
career They all deserve it, for probably no set of
men have ever disgraced themselves SO much by ig

every party in the United States during the years

II WILIs's TRAGEDY appears to excite great
deal of attention S ome of the loafer critics pro-
nounce it the best published since the age of Shs-
speare-o others not. Does it occur to these lttera-
Tours that tragic genius only springs to emlnence
in the history of tongue or peoPle?" The dra-
matic age of English literature has long sisce past.
genius equal to Shakespeare, in 1000, could not rival
Shakespeare, in 1887. Why? Because the ground is
occupiet-,he Anglo Saxon imagination is full. Ira
sedy and comedy have lost their novelty. This is
different age More intellectual excitement is pro-
duced by few original editorial articles, than by all
the plays that can be manufactured in twelvemonth.
Besides Willis is too ignorant of the deep secrets of
human character to be able 10 write a tragedy. He
writes pretty nice paragraphs elegant verses, bat ne
knows little or nothing of the human heart He

have discovered every calamity and every event pre-

all the statesmen and fnancers of the country So
he debut what sort of statesmen and fnancers
have we gotl Such charlatans as he is.

We should not be surprised if both the Canadas were

HALLEcK.- great Controversy is beginning among
the literary loaers efhe press whether Haeck is the
