Old and Yonns America.

The new Development Of locofocoIsm

warfare upon allth venerables of the

it sui;edtheir purpose to proclaim as po-
Iitical philosophers and sages. have very
suddenly come TO be regarded as dotards
and jewellers. What was the wisdom of
experience then,has now become the semi
ity of second childhood. Inthis style one
of the family of Smith. representative in
Congress from Alabama, has been lately
declaiming before the body Of which he is
a member

there are so many aspirants; and IS not
every man a candidate for the Presidency

il is the duty Of the friends Of General
Cass to advise him to retire. He should
not be deceived by appearances. He is
evidently inthe decline Of life, Mr. Smith
would not say ofintellect;) glory, ike all
things else, passes away, and Cass should
quit the field. In connection with this he
would quote the language of the poet
GLORY il Ike the circle in the water
Itnever ceases to unfold itself;
Till by broad spreading, it goes to nonght. ,
Old men ought to remember the force
Of this and give way. Laughter He
would ask the young men whether they
are still willing to hold the milk-boitle to
the lips of second childhood (Renewed

this age 10 nurse the old onesl For him

that the time had come when Young A

but maintain its position. And he then
referred to young men, both of ancient
and modern times, 10 show what mighty
deeds they had accomplished, both on the
field and in the Senate"
Mr.. Smith expressed the sentiments Of

be absurd to call that heterogeneous and
discordant body Of men, party. any lon
ger. Tie contempt and bitterness Of
feeling betrayed by Mr.. Smith, for the an
cient leaders OF the party. is shared in by
all who belong to the "Young America

much fear that this iniernecine war vii

to do, when they shall rise again i'll their

full drama of the Lopez expedition. IN
like most tragedies, it commenced IN blood

The restoration of these unfortunate delu-
ded men to their homes will doubtless ai-

has been amply expiaied by suffering
Their final freedom, through the direct
merciful act Of the Queen Of Spain, was
brought about by the prudent policy and
humane interposiiion Of the present Ad-
minstration. 1t has not cost any sacrifice
Of right or of honor; it has not been ex-
torted by intimidation. or wiled out by
inessc; but has been the simple result Of
Just, fair, and amicable dealing upon the

but inspire esteem and confidence"
