Ne,o York.-The Administration party have
nominated Edwin Forrest for Congress. We
know not the prospects of Mr.. Forrest for sue
cess, nor do we even know that he will run up
on the Administration ticket. But for his great
theatrical powers we wish him success The
members of Congress are not such finished or
ators but that Edwin Forrest, the player, can
teach them. He has played many parts in
THE mimic fight and show"
and, before mere common audiences, has ohen
"Fretted his brief hour upon the stageY
But he now wishes to doff his theutricalt lobe
and act the character Of Edwin Forrest the
politician, 10 the lfe in the Grand Drama on the
Congressional theatre. He considers
-"All the world a stage,
"And all the men and women merely players"
Perhaps he is right. Sheridan was theat-
rical manager, and rose to be mighty orator
in the British Parliament. And why may not
MIR. Forrest become n Congressional Orator7
He possesses great talents. and may yet make
the Capitol ring with the thunder of his elo-
quence.

contents, in order to enable our readers to

Several of our most distinguished poli-
ticians have greatly injured their popu-

OF government at the present crisis, where
the nation is prepared to exert all its ener-
gies to resist the Uni ust pretensions of q
proud foreign cabinei. They endeavored
TO bring about revolution, but have been
discovered and arrested. They arc now
stigmntized as French Federaisrs.
'Orders have been despatched to march
all the regiments from the interior to the
coast, where n considerable force of regu-
lar troops has already been collected. AT
Jaiapa, are concentrated the regiments
from the capital, and other large cities.-
There arc besides 1000 meu in Vera Cruz.

asm and emulation prevails that calls 10
mind the most brilliant epoclls Of our war
