THREATENED EXPLOSION,

Division has existed for sometime among the
leaders of the opposition. Neither at Washing
ton, nor at any Of the State capitals during the
past winter, was there anything like hearty union
among them now they are at points everywhere
and we doubt if the drill even of Locofocoism can
keep them much longer together.
The Southern clique has literally lorded it over
the members of the Free States. What has
Weller been, for instance, but its lacquey, or Ken
nedy, Duncan, Petit, Owen, and men of that
stamp! And hard task-masters have the leaders
of this clique proved; testy, ambitious, hot, de-
spotic; SO despotic that even the camp followers
begin now to kick against them. Mark the play
First the Loco caucus at Washington quarrel
about Mr.. Van Buren,; Southern men say he must
decline Cass Stuart, anybody but him. North
ern men beg, protest, and at last threaten. Then
there come letters from various quarters, urging
the withdrawal of Mr.. V. B. at last Richie, of
the Enquirer report says, tells Them too, the thing
must be done. A flare up follows-one of your
caucus rows-and members from the North and
West begin to find out that they have tongues,
and that the South has ruled long enough, and in
under tones to tell it so. The first mutterings Of
the storm have reached us, whether any politics,

per, charging that serious movement had been
made to defeat Mr.. Van Buren,.

A GRAPHIC AND BEAUTIFUL DESCRIP-
TON.

correspondent of the Cincinnati Gazette,
writing from Baltimore, gives the following lively
and accurate description of the enchanting scene
which was there witnessed on the I'd of May
instant:
"When our column was called-when it ad-
vanced and wheeled into the procession, the spec
tacle presented by Baltimore street as 1t burst
upon view, was one which none who saw it

and its bright panoramas, say they have never
seen pageant like this, The windows of the
houses had been mostly removed, temporary bal
comics protruded from the walls, and as far as the
eye could reach nothing could be seen but rest
less sea of human heads, rolling unanimously on,
enclosed on either side by masses rising above
masses, from the sidewalks, the doors, the baco-
MES, the windows, and the house tops. 1t was
gorgeous spectacle. The moving banners bril-
liant with every hue, all flashing their bright
colors in the sunlight, and stretching at intervals,
through the long perspective; the arches, the
wreaths, the various tasteful devices, spanning
the street or stretching from roof to roof, the
waving folds of our country's flag every where
visible with its glorious stripes and never setting
stars, the living wall of beauty that in radi-
ance on either hand all united together to form
scene so grand in its splendor and magnfcencc,
that to find its parallel it really seems necessary

"THE PARTY UNSOUND."

The Spectator of this city, in noticing the de-
feat of the Tariff bill in the House, says:
1t is now clear that we were right, and that the
party, OF this point, was unsound Wings and
Democrats have joined hands, to support the sys-
tenn of plumber established by the protective pol
icy. We do not think that in the North there
is any hope for the South from either party. If
the South intends to redress herself and shield
her people from the unconstitutional exactions of
the existing tarif-far more oppressive and ie-
gal than those which drove their fathers into re-
bellion against Great Bri .rin-she must look to
herself, and to herself only. Presdent-making
has again failed her, as in 1920 Party organiza-
ton and associations have proved vain. Protcc-
ton is in her own strength and energy:
Trust not her freedom to the Franks
They have king who buys and sells
In native swords and native ranks,
The only hope of courage dwells."
This is pretty strong language.

MR.. FRELINGHUYSEN.


When this gentleman and Christian was nom-
mated as the Wing candidate for Vice President
we were curious to know where Malice would
Ind spot or flaw in his character to point her
hnger at, for we were sure she would make the
trial. For time, however, she was batfied the
purity Of mind, the high moral and religious prin-
ciples by which all his actions have been squared,
the beautiful tout ensemble of his life, presented no
point of attack, and she herself would have given
up the attempt to find stain upon hun, had she
not called in her able and keen-sghted son and
ally, the rererend and pious editor of the "Eman-
cipator," who rejoces in the name of DAVID Lea
witt and who must have been tile original NAV
WORM. Of Mr.. Frelinghuysen this creature
speaks as follows:
Mr.. FRELINGHuYsEN is still a NEW JER-
SEY SHAREHOLDER. On this point we do
not speak with absolute certainty. We know
that within few years he had upon his hands an
old woman who had been slave to his father,
and whom he was maintaining in comfort, as 1t
was just he should but nothing seemed to per-
suade him that he could be Just, and just as kind
to old aunty after giving her free papers as he
was now. None of his neighbors considered it
necessary for him to keep himself under the
stringent coercion of the law to make him do
right in the NATTER but he seemed to think it best
that this pious mother in Israel should live and
die-A SLAVE. Whether she is still living, or
whether MIR. f. has ceased to be stakeholder by
the irresistible providence of God, we are not adj
vised."
We are gratifed to observe that the Locofoco
papers of the country generally, those at least
which have any standing speak in terms of re-
spect of Mr.. Frelinghuysen. We give below a
true Christians opinion of this excellent man:
"At meeting of the New York Sunday School
Union, in the city of New York, on the 7th inst,
Rev. Mr.. Stockton, of the Methodist church in
Philadelphia, and formerly chaplain to Congress,
was speaker. The first fifteen minutes Of his
address was occupied with discussion of the
relative bearings of practical and cnntempatve
Christianity, and making sudden DEPRESSION to
the influence Of Christianity upon the State, he
said, Look, sir, at the recent nomination at Bal
timore. Sensation upon the platform.] | al

sen Greet cheering, with few hisses | am
not here as Democrat or as Wing, but as a
Christian, and as a Christian regard this move

ton of his friends who waited upon him recently
to congratulate him upon his nomination, We
are Wings first, Wings last, and Wings always"
we are Christians first, Christians last, and Chris
tans always. Applause.] If gentlemen of the
ding to this subject, say to them, give to us
better man continued sensation but until you
do, we shall testify at the ballot box the feeling
with which we regard the homage thus paid to
the Christian religion and the Christian man."

A PERILOUS VOYAGE-A LOST BAL
LOON FOUND.

An extra from the Office of the Holldaysburg
Register, informs us that John Wise, the eronaut,
made balloon voyage from that place on Satur-
day week. He was quite successful in his ascent,
but on coming down he dashed against tree, and
escaped himself with the loss of his balloon which
was found on the same evening on the premises
of clergyman in Lexington, N. Y. Wise has
published letter, in which he gives this account
of his perilous descent and escape:
The balloon took northerly direction, and was
ascending rapidly until reached an altitude of
about 1000 feet, where it encountered violent
gale from the west swinging it to and fro and
cracking the network at every surge. NV heart
at once began to sicken at the idea of falling away
from the balloon at that height, with nothing to
protect me but the Car and network and the
sensations and scene were rendered still more
gloomy by the lowering appearance OF the heavens

clouds appeared to be dscharging torrents OF rain
and wind. | could also see the valleys west of
the Allegheny mountain, where the sun was she'd
ding down its beams of light and life.
At this crisis an eXpedient flashed across nv
mind. The valve rope would at least bear hun
dred pounds, and the top of the balloon being equal
ly strong, threw the greatest part of the weight
of my body upon it. This necessarily opened the
