Opening OF the President-nna alxing Season.
King Solomon has SAID that there Is Il for
every hing. History bears HIM out. Nature and
feshIon bear him out There is also an opening TO
every season. There must be beginning, and
bad beginning is very often good ending There
Is opening TO the spring and the lobster
te the summer and the follies, fippances and fir
tations of Saratoga, and Newport-to the winter
and its balls, rous, infuenzas and rheumatics, to
new bonnets and new shawls. For years past there
has been regularly re.opening of the case of
Bishop Onderdonk of womans rights, land re-
form, ant-rent, abolition, the Rochester knock
ings, and photography, just before the elections.
We have had splendid opening to the Jenny
Lind seasonal brilliant opening to Madame
Bishops concerts, and most triumphant ope ming
10 Parodl and Max Maretzek. Barnum, from time
to time, has opened upon with black whale,
q Fejee mermaid, a Buffalo hunt, Joyce Heth,
Santa Annals wooden leg, a sickly ourang eutang,
spotttd negro, giant, or dwarf, Calvin Ed
son, or the fat boys, double headed calf. or pig
with five legs, so that with him the season is open
ing all the time Archbishop Hughes has opened
the religious campaign of the season, with pow
erful argument the "decline Of Protest antism;"
and DR.. Bowling has opened on the other side, in
q dashDg halieluah upon ''the downfall of
Popery." There ID season for everything, and
every seassn must have opening.
The President making season comes round
once in four years. 1t opens Il year or two before
the election. 1t Is now opening 1t opens among

OF the old stagers and all the reports. and speeches,

al eye TO the White House, in 1852 President
making is n good hueiB.ss. The cotton mills and
the wool Weavers mey suffer from the sd valorems;
the IRON business n Peunsylvania may be turned
over to the sheiifi but The Presidential business,
based uyoa the Iroht- of the custom house, never
fails. Il stands upon the same footing the
sotton trade of the south, the gold washings and
the cry diggngs of California.
Look at The profits. Figures can't lie, except in
Wall street speculauons upon election returns, or
the priee OF stocks. We have a confederacy of
ihlriy.one States--sireching from the Pacific to
the Atlsntic fiom the icebergs to the sugar panta-
