future standing in the party, or even their recogn-
ton as democrats, depends upon the they may
adopt in the next six months. To retain that stand

Hon. Robt. j. Walker.
This gentleman, formerly Secretary of the Treasu-
ry is now in England. endeavoring to negotiate
loan of 100000 for the construction of certain
Railroads in the valley of the Mississippi. As dis
nguished stranger in England, it is natural that he
should receive attenton-a an American Republican,
it is also natural that he should sympathise with the
cause of liberty in Europe, and be willing to take
Kossuth and the other Hungarian exiles by the hand
1t is not therefore surprising that he should be
honored guest at several of the Kossuth banquets
that he should participate in the feelings natural 10
the OCCASION that in the courtesy of afterdnner
toastings his health should be pledged the future
President of the United States since that is an Office
to which every native born citizen may aspire. But
for the papers of the opposing party to Mr. Wal
ker to torture such thing into foreign NOM
nation is ridiculous in the extreme and yet we
find the whig papers, commencing of course in New
York, ringing the changes upon this thing, until
they fairly run it into the ground.
After all, it does seem to US that the nomination
would not be such a bad old chance 1t cannot
be said of it, as Daniel Webster said of that made at
Philadelphia in 184S that it is " not fit to be made'
And moreover, even taking the view that instead of
an after-dinner courtesy it was bona fde nomina-
ton, let look at the different parties in England.
by whom praise is extended to American politicians.
The nomination in question was made by Lord Dud-
ley Stuart, the most ultra liberal nobleman in Bri
tain. and Louis Kossuth, the leading patriot in Eu
rope. If we want to find where such praise is be-
slowed upon wings, we must turn TO the columns of
the Chronicle or Times the organs of British Tory
ism and the defenders of Austrian oppression. If
therefore wing contemporaries want to follow
up this discussion about Mr.. Walker they will find
that there are two sides to it, and that they de-
cidedly on the wrong

The remark to which took exception re-
ference to politics in connection with the tragedy at
Morgantown. We thought and still think such re-
ference unfortunate, do we see how reflection
on the tone of the Standard Banner and Republican
would help the matter, there is nothing in the
tices of these papers to show any political bias in
the matter. and this view of the is strengthen
