ssrv 10 adjourn there will be scarcely anybody

President aud Speaker.
The system Of the Loco-Foco body has been
considerably agtated within the last few days.
To-day it assumed more healthy and vigorous APP
pcarancs. For some time could not understand
the reasons Tor this, but to-day ! saw DR.. BRAN
DRETH, ami Of course the whole matter is explain
ed. Nobody can remain unwel or out u order
where bis influence is felt.
OF the Huukcrs, Mr.. DicN>soS is, Of course,

OF the Barnburner delegates, ] have noticed
ONLY judge GER who has been here several days.
The BaruIurners seek little advice from this City.
There is still very large crowd at the hotels,

more will leave this evening. The weather to

their ability. are Ininisterng 10 the drinking pro
pensities Of the Democracy 1t is no use. how
ever. for the pcrspiraton carries of all the drink,
20 that things remain about equal. 1t Is cacu-
lated that one man perspired two quarts to-day,
which gave him a large margin on brandy smashes,
over and above six jueps, which he sucked
through q straw Ancient philosophy and old
proverbs are ut discount. 1t used to be said
that straws show which way the wind blows.
There was no wind Mt all today though straws
were pointing toward the dry and parched places
in this wilderness of life.
One Of tho Wing letter-wrtcrs had to drink
several times with the Old Hunkers-nnd lest any
offence might be given cOunterbalanced on glass
or two with the friends of the Barnburners. He
thus yielded his strong Temperance preludices 10
his ovcrpowcring sense OF impartiality. Some
one suggested that it was strange 10 see Wing
going it SO familiarly with the Loco-Focos. He
justified his conduct on two great military max
ms, one Of which is always to "quortcr on the
enemy as two drinks cost % cents. The other
military maxim refers more psrticularlyto making

CAss stock stands firm though WOoDBuRT scrip
- still looked for with interest BUCHANAN stock
is heavy and today I think the holders would not
object TO transfer. The Hunkers are bitter
against the Bamhumers, and | do not think the
latter will be admitted. Ii they are rejected they
talk Of nominating TAYLOR and DIX and going u
on their own hook Some expect that after day
or two Of fighting compromise viii be effected
