These Editors, in their blind party zeal. have
probably forgotten the anecdote of the calf that
sucked two cows We will not repeat 1t now,
even for their edifcaton, but merely remark, that
things have very materially changed to the Wing
party, since General Taylor was candidate for
the Presidency.
Then, the good, strong, solid sense OF their
nominee was Of more worth TO him and the coun.
Try, than all the education and experience even
Of MIR. CLAY, himself, How circumstances alter
cases. That which wao a virtue in General Tay-
lor, is a vice in John A. Gamble-and that which
fitted Zachary Taylor to be President Of this great
republic, is just the thing, which units John A.
Gamble for Canal Commissioner.
When the Editors of the Telegraph, assert that
John A. Gamble, has mo other qualification" for
office, ethan his unmitigated ignorance and inca.
pacity for business" they say what they knO,o to

Is Hungary Fallen.

The newspapers generally seem to give up the
cause Of Hungary. Wedo not as yet, says tho
Times and Keystone. We gave our reasons, on
Friday, for hoping that the statements brought
by the Niagara were exaggerated, if not in many
important respects erroneous. We have had no
occasion to change our views. 1t is true that our
apprehensOns are very great. We cannot but
fear, as we have always feared that Hungary with
out money. without provisions, without aid, with
every nation Of Europe looking coldly on her
struggle for freedom, and with foe at her face
and back too formidable to be treated but with a
desperate hope Of misfortune we cannot but fear
that Hungary, il not fallen, is doomed to fall a
victim to the diplomacy Of the age. Still, lin spite
of all this apprehension, the late news iscertain

such apocryphal source, that we insist upon il
