TROUBLE IN THE WIGWAM.

walking ticket, predict, is about to be given to
Levi Woodbury.. The stupid and blundering manner,
expression, in which he conducts the
affairs Of the Department under his charge, 10
swell the catalogue of complaints to which the admi-
nistration before the people, to an
extent alarming to the administration itself His pro-
verbal meanness, too, private life, renders him repu
sve to all his associates
There has been anxiety in the Cabinet, for the
last two years get rid Of Mr. Woodbury., and every
expcdent, short of absolute removal from Office, has
been resorted to- to accomplish that object. Various
inferior foreign missions have been offered him,
different times, aud his friend, Isaac Hill. induced
to tender him the appointment Of Chief Justice Of the
Supreme Court in New Hampshire, IS compensation
for leaving the Treasury Department, but Mr. Wood
bury declined making any such unequal change ofpaces
and the administration dared not remove him. At that
time his influence in New England greatly over>
rated at Washington, and while the administration
themselves sinking rapidly every day, they did not
choose take step which they feared might accelerate
their downward tendency. Mr.. Woodbury. was there
fore permitted to retain his place.
The administration have now become intoxicated
with their fancied success in the late Western cleo
tons, and they have been made fully acquainted with
the real standing Of Mr.. Woodbury. at the North They
feel able do what they have long desired. but
lacked the courage to do. Indeed, they believe
they make political capital out Of Mr.. Woodburys
removal So master Levi, look out-your fate is fixed
the decree will soon be made

HARD TIMES.

We hear on all sides the cry of hard times" and
unuckily there is abundant cause for ii. The most
energetic and elastic spirits in our country may
complain now, without the imputation OF queru-
lous disposition. The times are hard
But where shall we look for the causes of the
evils that beset the commercial community Where,
but in the destructive policy of the abandoned
who have possession Of the powers Of government
The American people have been for years, like chill
dren, sailing on a sea OF "glory" but their pilots
have been unprncipled SPECTATORS and political adj
venturers, bent upon strengthening and enriching
themselves, and ready at any lime to sacrifice to
their self-aggrandizement the good Of their fellow
counrymen.
The people are now in the school Of adversely
where the most lasting lessons Of truth may be
learned Is il not high time to abandon such men as
we have hitherto had at the helms
We put the question to the honest and unprelu-
diced merchant, farmer, artizan-the citizen Of
whatever profession calling, who may be suffer
ing under the pressure Of these "hard times
whelheri would no, be better go back TO the good
old ways2 In the language of a distinguished
statesman We ask, "wiIl you go in this ruinous
course and like the prodigal son. until
you have been forced 10 live upon husks3" Will
you persevere until you have wasted your whole
substance in ro,ous experimenting? Will you con-
tinue 10 support the architects of your ruin? an Y

HEALTH OF MOBILE.

We have not a solitary CLEAN of hope to CRAFTY

there the face OF some friend who was saved from
the pcrtilence after lingering convaleScency. This
may be accounted for however by the fact that there
are but few victims left and the only fear is that
some Of our Northern friends may venture here be-
fore frost appears, and thus expose themselves to
certain danger, or death, as few Of them recover
from a severe attack.
This morning we are merged in gloom by the
sickness and death Of friends in the bloom OF youth
and hope who have been snatched almost without
a warning Among the sick we are deeply panied
to hear the name OF the Rev. w. T. Hamilton, who
in addition 10 his claims a continual attendant on
the sick and DYING, has long been regarded as

SEVENTH SENATORIAL DISTRICT.

1t is with no ordinary feelings Of qualification that
we to-day place among the wing nominations the
distinguished and honored name of Ambrose Spen-
GER for Senator from the Seventh District
Judge Spencer has been for some time past resi-
dent in that District and received the unanimous
voice Of the Convention. His unsullied character
and eminent services during long and brilliant
public career, are well known throughout the State
and the Union. Time has impaired neither his
ability or his willingness TO serve the republic He
brings to its aid weight Of talent, character and
perience seldom found united in individual and
which will render him tower OF strength in sup
port of our free institutions. With such nominal
lions the Wings deserve and will achieve success.
LIE, the people choose representatives like Ambrose
Spencer and the Senate will soon be redeemed from
the degradation into which Loco Focoism has sunk

days ago. was invited to address Wing Convention in

the following exposition, which we find in the Oswego
Advertiser II shows who Consery atives in 1897

i IL his speech on Wednesday night, Mr. Talmadce
stated the fact that previous TO the extra session Of
Congress ir Sept 1887, Gov. Marcy called him at
his residence in Poughkeepsc, and urged him to oppose
the Sub-treasury scheme-that in so doing he would
be sustained by the party this State The Governor
dorse the scheme in his message, but he added with
emphasis he would not do it Mr.. Tslmadge also said
that he had in his possession letters from many Of
the prominent Of the party, which supported Mr..
Van Buren, advising the same course that Gov, Marcy
had done and that pursuance Of their advice and his
own honest convictions he did oppose the BILL and now
these very denounee him for It. Sc much for Loco

cy was one Of the earliest Conservatives:

the Destructive doctrine Of the Administration And
yet, all but the Hon. John c. Clark OF those eight Re.

views Of the Executive And Gov Marcy who urged
Messrs Talmadge and Clark to take the ground they
occupy and who approved of their course on their re-

denounce those fearless and faithful champions OF the
interests OF the people, and the welfare Of the Republic
