The conviction gains strength daily and spreads
wider and wider that the present organization Of par
ties cannot continue. The aggregation Of discordant
elements which united in the election Of Gen. Pierce,
cannot be expected to survive very long the occasion
that gave il birth. United by no common principle,
except hat Of tho s'oits--whch is already quite ex-
ha,sted the men of that heterogeneous combination
find little in the character OF the President to compen
safe them for the failure in their expectations with
gard to Office. The asprai IS, who at the Baltimore
Convention were overslaughed, and who then con-
scented to waive their prctensions already begin
ming TO prepare for the next contest Mr.. Buchanan
is the first who has given forth distinct intimation
of his intentions His squabbe with the President
and Secretary Marcy-both of whom he regards as
rivals-springs from jealousy and an apprehension,
that they propose some unfair advantage OF him. =
His partsans in Philadelphia have espoused his quar-
rel and at great celebration the 4th, by the
Democrats of two Congressional Districts, the pro-
cecdings were Of rcbclious character, that the
"PenHsylodniaD," the Government organ, refused TO
publish them. The health Of President Pierce was
drunk in mournful silence; the term was loudly
and significantly proclaimed The New York Times
gives some other toass drunk the occasion, which
arc sarcastic enough. For example: The Cabinet
combining all the clements of beauty, variety and
unity" "Thc next French Revolution and the APP
pointment of Minister to France-both certain to
occur-time not .tined" The members of Congress
from the two Districts, and Mr.. Buchanan's hench-
man, Col. Frazer of Lancaster present, and no
doubt gave tone to the proceedings.
Other asprantS doubtless busy in their respec-
tive localities. But premature developments would
prove atal-ani fighting shy is the approved policy
Mr. Buchanan probably very reluctant 70 aban
don this courSe-bu. with Pierce and Marcy both
pressing him to inglorious mission, he had no al
tentative.
The invitations to the Philadelphia dinner
confined to Union Democrats, and indicate the promi
nent men in the different States, on whom Mr. Buch
relies to second his aspirations.
The Wing party, by the universal decree of the
Locos being dead and buried and not even dreaming
of running candidate, its fragments will be very
much courted by the rival chiefs the other side
The Southern Wings have already been appropriated
by one-thc Western Wings by another, and those
of the North very arntstly wooed 10y two or
more. Being dead and buried we of course, have
no say in the matter, and await in quiet sch dispen-
