This is great country, and Washington a

so long agitated and consulsed by the two grea,
ANTAGONIST parties of the county, that the
physical world, as IL in a spirit Of sheer jea.

Stirring and ludcfous scenes were witnessed
IN seseral localities of the city on the occasion
of the earthquake on Thursday. In the build
ings of the interior Department and Pension
Office, the CONSERVATION among the Clerks
was terrific; and. without waiting for an oDicf0!
order OF ejectment, they incontinentiy lett, and
rumor says, that some are yet running. The
Second Auditor was not seen nor heard al UNI
ill the next day, and other Chiefs OF Bureau
following the lead of their clerks, DOTTED their
official dignity for the time, and rushed wildly

The greatest, and certainly the richest joke of
the day, is the idea ihet.Louis Kossuth will ever
again venture upon the soil.of his fatherland.
The man who deserts his country in her hour

tempt her disinthrallment However ardent
may be his professions of patriotism, the brand
of the coward and the recreant will be ever
fastened to his memory and no atonement,
save thet Of voluntary martyrdom on the altar
OF his fallen country, can efface the record OF
the past. Louis ,K0ssuth, Judging from the
past, will hardly offer up his precious life a
willing sacrifice in the cause of his dear Hun

the future home of the" Great Mcguire"

No American, irrespectively of party, can
contemplate the passing away of such man

Quite reaction has taken place within the
past week, among his friends, against General
Scott, and in favor of Mr.. Fillmore. General
SCOTS friends begin to perceive, that even
upon tbe,question of dra;iment (which alone
has heretofore determined their choice,) Mr..
Fillmore is the sursst candidate in the field
Indeed, our Democratic friends (who seem san.
gupe ocyictory, whoever may be the Wing

opposing candidates believing, as they say, that
in suchla contest. the triumph of their party
would scarborough snd complete.
His friends contend that Mr.. Fillmore can
carry North Carolina, Kentucky, and Tennes

would lose. They also argue that he stands
an equal chance with Scott in Pennsylvania
and elsewhere al the North. Whether Fill
