pulse of celnrnerce, the beat Of whichis scarcely
perceptible At the present time. However, we
have one consolation-the lower the mercury in
the Thermometer Of business descends, the higher
that in the political instrument arises. Our even-
ings are particularly lively in these respects. Go
to any popular place of resort, and ycu will meet
with numerous ~coteries discussing one plan or
another having the safety Of the Union in view,
which Aforesaid safety can only be secured by the
election Of Scorr or PIERCE, according TO the
predilections Of the respective takers. By the
way, friend WiNrnrr, did it ever occur to you
that the United States have arowerfuIly .trong

United States to take a political observation.
And after q careful examination, | have come to
the conclusion that our prospects are ~ cheering,
our future as bright, as the most ardent Of us have
right to desire. The star of Old C~hapAlepec
CLEANS gloriously athwart the political horizon
is rising higher and higher with each revolving
day, and win cslminate in unclouded glory infAe
early part Of November ensuing. Its rayAalrea-

country, and it will not be long before It will be
universally acknowledged as the King Of the po-
litical heavens. II il true there il an unimpor-
tant cloud here and there, but they are not cbarg-
ed with thunderbolts which will do our cause any
ruinoas daznase. On the contrary, their sombre-
ness sets off 10 advantage the radiance Of the
scenes around. In Georgia, as you are aware,
Messrs. Toonbs and Stephens have declared their
determination not to support Gen. Scott. Thisis
to b., regretted in one sense, and r~ejoiced at in
another. Il Is possibix this detection may lose Us
the State st the coming election. This we will
all deplore. But then we will have got rid Of the
bolters-our party win be purged Of hot-haadsd,

of the election Of Democratic speaker OF the u.
$. House Of Representatives not many years
since. They would not vote for r. G. Winthrop
because he had introduced the Wilmot Provso
into the Oregon bill. Oh mol They were alto
gethes too southers tor that. Well, what did they
do? They raised a tremendous row, got furious.
and swore worse than q fsh-woman--and the
whosy thing finally resulted in the election Of
Howell Cobb, who had yofrd ~ the very Proviss
,rhxk M. Winthrop had introduced. but for which
they had denounced the latter as unworthy south
