New YORK PoLrIcs--PREPARAr,oS pop
THE CAMPhoN-The weather is hot enough
to suspend business, thin out the PRONE
nades, depopulate the theatres, and, in
fact, snnihilate everything except political
gossip Talking politics {" is refreshing
to many people, and the higher the mer.
curry the more piquant the discussion. The
gentlemen who manage the political affairs OF
the city have already commenced settling mat.
tiers for next November, although there are
strong indications that the result of the cleo
tion, in the city, at least will be such as to de-
feat the ends of many aspiring patriots.
The wings at present are In high hopes.
,mnking that their success, with the aid Of the
know Notbings, Is certain. To be sure, we do
not know that the new organization will act
with the wings; but Judging from their acts in
Philadelphia, Norfolk, Boston, and other places.
1t seems almost certain that they will snnport
wings. Whether they viii swallow the party
nominations, as whole, remains to be seen.
There are always large number of patriots
who are ready and willing t.. serve their fellow
citizens IN the various arduous State and city
offices, and the intriguing for nominations has
already commenced. The number Of patriotic
wings who are ready to rush forward at their
country's call is very large, and il is cheerjnQ
10 see so many instances of self denial. The
democrats are endcavoring to patch up plan
by which they may maintain supremacy-in The
State. Their "best bower" at present il the
Hon. David l.. Seymour, the father Of the rcci
procity movement; il is stated that he win re-
ceive the hard she'll nomination. Gen. Aaron
Ward, Of Westchester, an unmitigated adam m
tine, is also mentioned. He served bic district
10 Congress during several terms.

The canal board yesterday, by q vote Of eight to
one, decided to enlarge the Erie canal, between
Lockport aud Roche ster, TO the dimensions agreed
upon in September, 1850. The negative vote was
cast by the State Engineer. In anticipation of the
decision Of this important question numerous public
meetings have recently been held ut the towns on

ton Of citizens from Ro hester, Lockport and other
places, were at Albany, eagerly watching the pro-

occasion mob Of several hundred proceeded to the
Roman Catholic church, broke in the doors and
windows, rang the bell, and finally set fire TO the
building, utterly destroying it. The mob afterwards
paraded the Streets manifesting their qualification
at the achievement in the most bOisterous manner.
The blowing up Of the Roman Catholic church at
Dorchester, Mass, on the Fourth, has created an
intense excitement in the neighbour BOD Of the oc-

The origin Of the affair still remains involved IN

ONLY ONE BRICK UPON AyoTHER.-Edwin
was looking at large building which they
were putting up just opposite his fathers house
He watched the workmen from day to day, as
they carried up their bricks and mortar. and
then placed them in their proper order.
His father said to him, "my son, you seem
to be very much taken up with the bricklayers:
pray what might YOU be thinking about? Have
you any notion of learning the trade?"
''No, sir" said Edwin smiling; ''but l was
thinking what little thing a brick is, and
vet that great house is built by only laying one
brick on another"
every true, my son. Never forget it. Just
so it is with all his great works. All your
learning is only one little lesson added to an
other If a man could walk all around the
globe, it would be only putting one foot before
the other. Your whole life will be made up
by one little moment after another. Drop add
ed to drop makes the ooean.
'Learn from this not to despise little things.
Learn also not to be discouraged by great Ia
bor the great labor becomes easy if divided in
to parts. You could not jump over mountain,
but step after step takes you to the other side
Do not fear, therefore, to attempt great things

TO YOUNG MEN.

We extract the following beautiful paragraph
from the Baccaaureute Address lately deliver
ed before the Graduating Glass of Rutgers Col
lege, by the Hon. THEODORE FRELIYGHUYsEN,
and commend it to the perusal Of the young:
Resolve to do something useful, honorable,
dutiful, and do it heartily. Repel the thought
that you can, and therefore may, live above
labor, and without work. Among the most pit
ifu objects of society, is the man whose mind
has been trained by the deciphne of education
who has learned how to think. and the value
of his immortal powers, and with all these no.
BILE faculties cultivated and prepared for an
honorable activity, gnobly sits down to moth
ing; and, of course, to be nothing; with no in
fuence over the public mind, his heighbor-
hood, to be regarded as drone, without OBJ
iect or character, with no hand to lift and with
no effort to put forth to help the right or defeat
the wrong. Who can think with any calmness
of such a miserable career? And however it
may be with you in active enterprise, never per-
NIT your influence to go in hostility to the cause
of truth and virtue. So live, that with the
Christian poet, you may truthfully say that
"If your country stand not by your skill,
At least your follies have not wrought her fall

THE FIRST "HUMBUG."

Webster says "humbug" is slow word'--
Its meaning is "to deceive" We have some
where read that this word originated with an
eccentric professor. Lecturing before a class
on etomology, he scddenly placed before them
an insect apparently instinct with life. and de-
manded its classification. During It's exhibi
tion kept up an unceasing buzz, very much to
the astonishment of the students. Various
suggestions were made as to It's gems; finally
the lecturer very coolly informed them that
thev were all mistaken that it was a classif-
cation of itself-and was nothing more nor less
than "hum-bug." Upon further inquiry, the
class learned that the eccentric lecturer manu-
factured it for the purpose of imposing upon
their credulity, and to show them that notwith-
standing the knowledge which they had acquired
of insect life. they were liable as the least cru
dite to deception. We give the anecdote for what
it is worth. 1t may or may not account for-the
origin of this word. The word ''humbug" is Of
recent coinage.

The following extract is from Ghapin's speech
at the Inauguration of the CRYSTAL Palace:
"That was a great era when truth found in
the printing press the gift of tongues, and a
reused the stagnant souls of men with velleyS
of thought. That was of great era when Co
lumbus unveiled to the Old World a virgin
bride-the mother of a splendid and uncaleu-
liable destiny. That was a great epoch when
Bacon shattered Arristotle's Web and Agrippa's
Mirror, and taught men to explore nature with
the lamp of experiment and the talisman of
fact. That was a great era inaugurated by the
Declaration of Independence, when in the era
die of battle and the baptism of blood, a nation
was born in a day. Eras Why every man ard
every woman-every child has passed through
them. You have seen our New York growing
from a provincial town to q vast metropolis,
heavng in its heart with the pulsaton of the
world, and wearing this Crystal Palace like
diadem;yOu have seen space cancelled by steam,
time beaten by lightning, and tissues of identi-
ties and net works of sympathies stretched and
woven round the globe-you know it is eharac-
teristic of our epoch, say it has great and sud-
den changes. Therefore, evidently, it is but a
transition epoch, leading to third, and which
we can hardly vet conceive, which. NAV not
linger to describe, but which we may believe
will be an epoch of comparative quiet-not
stagnant quiet, but serene, full deep hfe-a
sunset epoch; and it may be Of an unimaginable
splendor, when the ripe wolrd shall be plucked
for Interior purposes by the hand of God"

Life.

What is life? like a flower, with the bane in its
bosom,
To-day full of promise-to morrow it diesl-
And health like the dew-drop that hangs in its
blossom,
Survives but night, and exhales to the skiesl
How oft meath the bud that is brightest and
fairest,
The seeds of the canker in embryo Turk!
How oft at the root ofthe flower that is rarest-
Secure in It's ambush the worm IS at work!
