and specious-with few protuberances TO excite
attention, and nothing out of the line OF party pre-
scription to provoke comment. He IS careful to
let the world know that he is the youngest President
that we have vet had Not content with intimating
this fact in the first paragraph of his address, he
reerates it in the second. This is in questionable
taste He gives us quite enough OF what CHRIS
TOPPER NORTH calls bdladnl and says quite as
much as is paatabe to fatter the sef-complacency
of the people of our GLORIOUS Union. Several

The nomination of Ex-Governor MARCY as Sc
cretary of War is not likely to call forth many
dial responses from the Locofoco party of this State.
IL is quite coolly received both by the Van Buren,
and Texas factions. But as Mr. MARCY occupies

as well qualified for the post any prominent man
Of the party in this State.
The retiring President meets with little mer-
cy from our journals, whether Wing or Locofo-
co. 1t is amusing to those of the latter class,
