The President at DHnkirk.

We find in the Journal of Com
Hmeree the following statement of the
Interpretation put upon President
Fillmore S recent address on the oc-
casion Of the railroad celebration at
Dunkirk. We had regarded it as a
fixed fact that President Fillmore
and his friends were openly looking
to the succession in the Presiden-
cy for him. But it appears that the
President took pains to leave a DIFF
ferent impression on his auditory
OF his speech the Journal of Com.
says: ~ Union.
The scene was in the highest de-
gree impressive and affecting. The
President manifested deep feeling
In referring to his retirement from
public life he spoke with earnest SIN
carity. There was significance In
all the incidents of the brief allrsion
to that event, which led every mind
to the irresistible Inference, that Dir.
Fillmore would in no event consent
to become a ca ndidate for the sue
cession. This conviction produced a
marked sensatid d, for it was the first
public announce ment Of his inten-
tons in this regard that had ever
from Che President.

The Travelling Cabinet.

This was a standing caption of our
whig friends whenever a member of
the democratic administration left
Washington for few days. We
should like to know what they think
now, then the President and the
whole Cabinet, with the cxcepti9 IN of
one sic kly member, are junketting
about 4hrodgh the country, feasting
and M king speeches, and trying to
make political capital for tie next
election. Had Mr.. Polk and his
Cabine behaved in this manner, the
whole Yhig press would have been
boiling over with indignation at the
shamefh hl inlelicacy Of the act. But
it is all right now, and TIE mardh Of
the I'traveling Cabinet is chronicled
with every symptom Of approval aad

of the fifth pair of nerves. Afterwards substituted
concentrated ncture of ginger, of the strength of
