THE MEDICINE WoRKs.-Our amiable
porary, the Express, was little out of hum
terday morning, because we have publlshe
amount OF his circulation, alleging that we
moderated II to some extent. Well, if he'
prove to us, on sufficient testimony, that his "a
culation is more than we have stated it, we viii
most readily say so, and quiet his temper. Liz
rather singular, however, that he now, for "
first time, exhibits such a paroxysm of rase-ao-
the statement we made OF his circulation has APP
peared tor some mouths.
II ought TO have occurred, moreover, to our ho-
norable and indignant friend, that such exraor-
binary ebulhtion of choler is exceedingly danger
Gus, these times, and If not the premontory
symptoms Of the awful epidemic that now hovers
over our city, may have a powerful influence In at.
tracing it TO his weakly constitution. We must
remind him, however. that he ought 10 subject
himself to a little anti-phogstic treatment, if he
ever expects to bring up his circulation to proper
healthful current. In his present deblliated cor
dltion it might be injurious to apply anything but
q tonic, and we shall, therefore, refrain, until he
gathers a little more strength, from administering
that efficacious application which might be adapt
ed to some of hls more robust cotempersries.
But we cannot help finding ault with HIS lngra-
,itude. Our amiabe contemporary cannot surely
have forgotten that we have been of the greatest
service to HIM for many years past. The columns
of the Herald, he well knows, have furnished him
with the one-half, and sometimes the two-thirds,
of all his foreign and domestic intelligence,
which he copied without the slightest acknow-
ledgment OF saying SO much as 81 thank you"
Now, we submit to our excellent and honorable
friend, that under such circumstances, 1t is In
very bad taste, TO say the least OF 1t, TO pour out
his Indignation against us in such unmeasured
terms as he did yesterday. Probably, however.
he is only preparing himself for the next session
OF Congress, by getting rid Of surplus quantity
of bile. II this be the case, we have no objection
to help hin to dIsgorge a little more of it, and
we doubt not but In short time, we shall be
able to put his secretions in a healthy condition,
and by washing him, both inside and out, enable
him 10 take his place in Congress as a clearly and
respectable member of that august body

AYNoyANcEs OF Hon OFFlcE.-The annoy
ances which surround high office are already be-
ginning 10 trouble the President elect. BY our
latest intelligence from New Orleans and Baton
Rouge, we learn that the number of letters and aP-
plicaons to General Taylor, from every part OF the
country, relative TO his dignity, and looking to
Office and emolumen, are most enormous, and trou-
blesome indt ed. We have the best reason, too,
for believing that considerable portion OF this
noy ance comes from various cliques and Office
seekers in the Northern States-the most proml-
nent and urgent of whom are two cllques OF the
wing party In this city-the one called the "Mili-
tary Hail." which originated in the Bowery, and
the other the Lafayette Hail. in Broadway.
We would suggest to the individuals composing
these cliques, that they should be very cautious
and careful in making their advances towards the
President. We have heard OF several OF their late
mannuvres, and we may report progress IN short
time. They should be satisfied that General Tay-
lor will do justice to all those of both partIes who
may deserve II at his hands, and that he Will treat
them all according to their merits, their capacity,
and their position. The Military Hall clique came
ont for General Tay Tor before the Lafayette Halt
concern. which latter wished TO put up General
Scott for President, but were banked by his un-
fortunate fin ,ie IN Mexico.
Both, however, merely took up General Taylor
as a candidate before the people, VIXEN the Herald
and other independent papers placed his name
before the country, and advocated his elevation
10 the Presidency. All these facts Will come out
in the process nf time.

CONTEST FOR SENATOR IN THIS SrATE.-We have
several letters and communications relative TO the
selection 10 be made by the next Legislature, OF
United States Senator for the State of New York.
Il promises to be a violent fight between the
friends Of Ex-Governor Seward one slde and
the friends OF Mr.. Collier and several others on

will be greatly divided on this question:; but IT is
not certain yet who will carry the day Some

Threatened Revolution In Ohio.

In consequence of the prevalence of amalignant
party spirit Ohio, there Is every probability that
there will be domestic revolution in that State
shortly, similar TO that which occurred In the State
of Rhode Island few years since, or thatln South
Carolina growing out of the notification business.
The difficulty, as far we have been able to
discover it, arose from some mistake committed
by the election clerks, IN spelling and certifying to
some candidates voted for at the recent election
The wings, il is asserted, have majority of four
In one branch of the legislature, according to the
ballots; but as some mistakes were committed by
the ee cton clerks, certificates of election were
issued TO The democrats. Both parties insist on
the rights Of their candidates. ard as both refuse
oyield anything, they have organized, but until
the claims of the rival candidates are disposed OF,
no business can be transacted.
This condition Of things IN Ohio is the leglti-
mate result of that party spirit which has ragged
dreaduly IN this country for some years past.
Were i. not for the existence of this demon, and
were the two parties there actuated by spirit OF
moderation and patriotism, the sensible men of
both parties would soon arrive at conclusion that
would be satisfactory to both The members
whose elections are undisputed, and of whom there
are more than sufficient to make quorum, would
organize and refer the disputed claims to proper
committee who could unravel all the difficulties in
the matter, and settle the point at once. There
seems, however to be no disposition OF this kind;
and the consequence will be, unless some settle
ment be arrived at, state of things similar to
that which prevailed IN Rhode Island and South
Carolina, will disgrace Ohio, and, indirectly,
every other State in the coniederacy.
The irmness which General Jackson displayed
IN the South Carolina difficulty, is matter of his
tory and we have no hesitation IN saying, that,
If the disgraceiul conflict In Ohio be not settled
before the installation Of General Taylor as Pre-.
sdent, he will, like Genera! Jackson, be equal to
the emergency, and will promptly crush 1t. lie
has be.n elected in defiance of the spirit OF party,
and is utterly opposed to it in every form and
shape The two parties, therefore, have the chances
of settling these squabbes, or the alienation OF al
lowing General Tayl to settle it for them in his
own way.

The Three Whlg Presidents.

The wing party have triumphed three
times since the organization Of the gov.
erhment, and three times only. They
have had three Presidents. neither of
whom were reelected by the people
These three Presidents were John Ad
ANS, John Quincy Adams, and John Ty-
ler-the two latter accidents. Presidents.
or rather one by virtue of bribery aid
corrup ion and the other by accident
The administrations of these three whig
Presidents pre.eminently mark the era in
our history Ct danger and anxiety, and the
prostration of our social. political and
commercial interests. The administra
tiUn of the former was known as the
''reign OF terror" The latter are known
as the most corrupt of all their predeces-
sors or successors Will the people of
the United States trust this party fourth
time? We think not. THIS government
is sirty gears old. Democratic princi-
Piles have governed it forty eight years,
and wing principles tacflue! What bet
ter argument is wanted than the govern
ment is safest in democratic hands? The
democratic party has made it what it is
bet. Free Press.
