things are rising to the surface. Candidates for
that high Office are turning up in every direction
and like frogs after the first spring thsw they are
dormant since the last Presidential election, are
popping their heads out Of the mud, and croaking
as Justify as the best of them. It is amusing to
observe their movements as they creep out into
the light of day-they are so very mo aest and shy
about it, For example, Secretary Marcy, who
has been frozen stiff. since lSiS has, sinse the late
election, been partially thawed out, and the Wash
ington Union is attempting to bring him int ac-
tive life again, by folding him up between the warm
blankets of the Compromise. He has done so much
for the compromise measures in New York, that he
ought to be remembered. Oh, yes! And forthwith
his friends set to patching up his old breeches again
But what has he done! John Tyler himself has not
lived in closer retirement for the last fifteen months
than Governor Marcy. He was dormant and torpid
TILL on the eve of the late election he recommended
the democrats to rally on his old platform Of the
"spois of victory" If that is working to save the
Union it is certainly very comfortable employment
when you come to divide the plumber. This, how
ever, is but one example Of dozen. But We appre-
bend that all the sdvosat of the compromises, who
are Ginning the blessed song Of the adjustment for
Presidential capital, will find that stock at dis
count, next spring. at Baltimore and Philadelphia.
1t will satisfy the South than the trash Of
the broken banks and of the Painfeld 6nanciers of
Wall street and New Jersey.
On the other hand, We observe that the candidate
nominated three times by Kossuth, the great Hun
garian, is bounced upon and worried by the
whig journals, in various quarters, without
mercy or discretion. They foresee that Mr..
Walker will probably become a formidable
candidate, from his imposing platform of free
trade, annexation, and Russian non-intervention;
and frem Webb, Of the CoWrtg-the particu-
lar cha npion of Haynau and Schwarzenburg down
to the feeble pipers Of the provincial organs, they
have commenced an onslaught upon the great de-
mocratic leader Of free trade. The Bangor Mg
c~y, however, gives him regular broadside Of
grape and canister; ard it only needs the CONT
nuation of the war in this style for month or two
longer, to place Mr.. Walker in the front rank for
the democratic nomination. We give a sharp and
amusing extract from the Mercury, as q sample of
his metal:-
Mr. Walker was In Mr. Folks cabinet some time He
has had considerable experience elsewhere, and must
have noticed the profit Of side shows to travelling
The fat woman who travels with Raymond, Dries

thunder So Mr. Walker looks upon the applause which
greet the eloquence Of kossuth, and counts when the
big show lets out, his twelve and half cents per
head for his own exhibition.
Mr. Walker has visited the mother country TO borrow
sixteen millions for Illinois. 1. Is fresh Ia the memory Of
many readers that fifteen years ago

So much for whig thunder. But we fnd that the
democratic organs and leaders have also been
seized with q panic, from spprehensions of this
same Mr.. Walker. The alarm is spreading. Free
trade, annexation en- large scale, and contingent
war with Russia on the ocean, make up formida-
bic platform. 1t must be popular. Progress is the
order of the day. 1t will be curious, but not sur
prising, If Kossuth's nomination should result in
the election Of Mr.. Walker for the Presidency.
Let Tammany Hall, after the arrival Of Kossuth,
second his movement and his policy, and the work
is done. Keep cool
