Con-. STOCKTON on THE STEAMSHIP QUESTION
Com. Stockton, the gallant and victorious general
of the horse marines in California, during the war
with Mexico, is always at homo on salt water But
dry land politics throw him on his beam ends. His
gum elastic speech ut the India rubber trial at
Trenton in behalf of Mr. Webster and high tariff,
demolished in single blow the dashing Jack Tar's
prospects Of nomination at Baltimore, by either
party and his subsequent efforts to repair the
damage have been wholly unavailing. His last
speech in the Senate, far it relates to steam
SHIPS and steam navy, is tho practical argument
Of practical sailor, who knows what he is talking
about. But when he comes 10 the dry land po-
Itical abs ractions OF constitutional obligations
the Wilmot proyiso and State rghts--he is out of
his reckoning. There is political question,
however, upon which the Commodore can emil ghtcn
us-it is the constitutionality Of the New Jersey
railroad tax upon the citizens Of other States Let
him settle that question to the pablo satisfaction
and it will be worth n thousand speeches on gum
elastic, Daniel Webster, protection and tho Wllnot
proyiso. In the meantime, advice the COM
modore to keep sharp eye upon Baltimore. Some
thing may turn up yet Who knows

TIE AZTEC HUMBUGs ARE GoING.-That portion
OF orr contemporaries who arc so jocular or philo-
sophical as to aid and assist In humbugging the
people as to the exhibition Of the Aztec dwarfs
have announced that the little hulnbugs are about
to change their locality from New York to Phila-
delphia. The managers of this concern, we believe,
have been pretty successful in the Barnum line,
but have not yet surpassed the original We rather
think that Joyce Heth and Tom Thumb, by the
judicous management Of the great genius of Bridge
FORT, baggcd more money than the Aztecs, with all
their certificates and afidavits, and the putting of
the religious and satanic newspapers of the day.
The truth Of the matter is, the American public
arc beginning to get tired Of these proractcd jokes
which make such levy on their credulity and their
pockets The story Of the Aztecs is admitted, we
believe, to have been hoax and fabrication on
all sides. Even Mr. Richard Adams Locke, who is
generally reruted to be the author of the original
pamphlet giving the marvellous account Of the
abductionof the dwars from the city of the Azccs,
has come out, under his own name, in card, ac-
knoV.edging, in his ewn way, all that was ever
Charged against him az being its author, and says:
81 do not know any moro of these dwarfs than
any other person in tho community" Very naive
Of Mr.. Locke. Who suspected him of knowing any
more about them than any other person ever did!
The success which has attended this Aztec exhi-
bition in New York, is beginning to attract in
genious SPECTATORS in public credulity to get up
other monstrosties of similar character, to be
shown to the people at so much head We see,
by an advertisement in Charleston g. Co. paper,
that there is now exhibition, in that city, what
is described as 1.-The Monkey Boy--a great natural
curiosity, or African wonder This animal usually
goes on all fours, Is thirtythrec inches high, of the
age Of fourteen, and presents the closest affinity be-
tween the human species and the lower order Of
animals We may calculate the market being
quickly oyerstocked with goods in this line. The
Aztec humbugs win have their day. rs their pre-
decessors have had, and then will be showed out of
the way to make room for greater rarties, Will
Mr.. Locke give us the story Of the monkey boy!
