TUNE CHANGED. A few months ago, the
great cry against the administration was, free
soilism, or the appointment of free soilers TO
office. Now there is variation in the cry.
Nobody thinks Of charging free soilism upon
the administration. This sudden change
shows that the opposition were not sincere in
their first complaint, and puts TO flight what
ever they may claim of sincerity in their pres
ent cutlery. What tune they'll harp on next,
we cannot say.

Bur TWO GREAT PARTIEs.-There are, says
the Washington Unson, but two parties in this
country-the democratic party and the oppOSi-
ton 10 that party. The present is one Of those
occasions when the wing party passes almost
out of mems memories Other names super
eide The name Of whig. Other influences rise
above it. Some are for giving it up because
it has been used for base purposes by bad men !;
others, because it has an odor of suspicion
about it others, because like an old garment
it has served its day. Every little section,
heretofore banded under the name of wing, is
now setting up for itself; and there are almost as
many names as there are organizations. Mean
while the democratic party stands intact and
upright, aud nobody thinks of the overthrow or
Of the decay Of the democratic party. The
odds and ends of faction, however, like the
little people in Gullver's Travels, who bind
their huge prisoner with multitudnous but tiny
bonds, think that by one common attack they
may crush it to pieces. We shall see.

SECRETARY Marcy Nothing but simple
justice is done TO Mr.. Marcy in the following
extract from letter Of the Washington CORE.
sponden. Of the New York Journal of Com

1t is understood that the duties Of all de-.
parimenis have been excessively laborious.
The Secretary Of State, especially, has been
taxed with an amount Of intellectual labor that
no ordinary powers Of mind could possibly sur
mount. There have been the fishery and rec
iProcity. the neutral rights, the Central Amer
lean, the Peruvian, the Cuban. and other ue-

Of various languages, and in none Of them has
