SHAM NOMINATIONS FOR THE Presidency
The newspapers in different parts of the coun-
try have lately been engaged, to a considerable
extent, in discussing certain sham nominations
for the Presidency. Persons who pass for wits
in the rural districts and small towns have
amused themselves by placing the names of
their butts before the public, and within the
past three or four weeks we have noticed that
several of these silly and ridiculous nomina-
tons have been taken up and discussed by jour-
mails from which more grave and serious treat
ment Of SO important subject might have been
expected.
There was one Of these nominations made in
Boston, short time ago, by set Of queer
fellows in that vicinity, and this eanard
has been taken up by several respectable
newspapers in Massachusetts, and New
York. We aliude to the sham nomination
OF George Washington Frost Melen. Mr.. Mel
gist, and was reputed to be skilfol in his call
ing. He was carried away by the abolition
baraDgues of Garrison and others of the same
gang, and his mind became unsettled He
thinks he has "call" to make speeches on
any and every occasion, and became 30 great O
bore that even the abolitionists could not
swallow him. He was cast out OF the fold and
has since wandered about from place to place,
dec)aimiDg on all sorts of subjects 10 the most
iIcoherent, disconnected and absurd STYLE He
has been for years the butt of some of the fast
young men about Boston, who might have
found better employ ment than in tormenting
and deceiving poor half crazed egotist, who
has not brains enough to see that he is being
fooled.
Again, within the last week or two we have
noticed in some Of the country papers, another
sham nomination, got up by the issuing Of a
Mung correspondence addressed to Horace
Greeley, aud purportipg to have been signed by
the editors of several OF the city journals Then
sgain we have seen the nomination, by several
papers, Of the notorious Hiss, who has just been
expelled from the Massachusetts Legislature.
For Vice.rresdent is suggested the equally
notorious Mrs. Patterson, whose bill for the &C.
cupsncy OF one bed at the City Hotel in Lowell
was paid by the puritanical, moral, anciently
virtuous and strictly respectable Common
wealth of Massachusetts For this bill the Trea-
surer of the Common wealth has a recent. and
II will probably be filed away in the ar
cbives OF the State House a. testimonial
70 the honor and morality of Massachusetts,
law givors. Some curious inquirer, centuries
hence, may find itside by side with the original
charter Of Plymouth Colony the Puritan arti-
cles OF confedeI alton, or an election sermon by
Cotton Mather In sucb companv Il will be n
rich literary curiosity.
These sham or bogus nominations would do no
great harm, considered only rs attempts at wit,
aid If not carried too far might snuse q few
silly people; but they should have been received
at Washington in such manner as to reason
the public out of the idea of them. The Ma
fionai Intehigencer thinks 1t censurable and
oisrepu,abIe for newspapers to make sport IA

GENE more dsnsely populated. This may
be the sum and substance Of the free goilism
of Governor Reeder and his Kitchen Cabinet
associates (; but it is quite enough to identity
them heartily with the free soil and MassAchu-
sets emigration societies. The political prin
ciples Of q land speculator may be pretty safe
ly summed up in dollars and cents
1t is the policy Of the Massachusetts, free soil
propaganda to make Kansas an anti-slsvery
State Of the Massachusetts, type; it is the inte-
rest Of Governor Reeder to second the move
ments; and the principles Of specializing poll
ticians are invariably governed BY their Wall
street valuation in hard cash. The case, then,
is pretty clear. This apology Of the cabinet
organ in b. half of the Missourians is humbug
and trick. Governor Reeder, after visiting
he White House, returns to Kansas with his
family. HE acts are approved +; his policy is
approved otherwise he would be superseded
bis Office. The administration thus becomes
an active ally, through Reeder, Forney Il Co.,
of Mr.. Thsyer and his Massachusetts, anti
)avery crusaders They are all engaged, some
as dupes, some as fanatics, some as dema-
pogues, some as disuni0n traitors, and some as
land Spectators, in the same Cause, which is to
crowd ont the people Of the South from Kansas,
and to make it flee soil colony and an aboli-
| tion State.
What, then, is the policy Of the Southern
people, especially Of the States most interest
edf They have nothing to expect of Mr.. Pierce
He is committed to the other side. Their only
| alter native is to fight this free soil conspi-
racy with its own weapons, in the organization
of emigration societies, and in the shipment of
detacbments Of Iona fde Southern squatters in
numbers sufficient to hold the Territory. In
the meantime, after the Virginia election, let
Southern committee be appointed to wait upon
Mr.. Pierce for definite understanding upon
the subject. Perhaps they may bring him out.
Who knows?

Ho! FOR KANsAs.-The free sellers at Boston,
reused by the news of the scenes which seem to
have frightened Governor Reeder from his post
in Kansas, are subscribing money freely, it is
said for the purchase of arms to arm the free set
tiers from the North who intend to make Kan
sas their home. Of course they have perfect
right to do what they will with their money
and if the Boston emigrants feel that they need
arms to protect their persons against the ter
rible fellows in Missouri and the South, no one
objects to their taking them. True, the result
is likely to be an increased excitement at the
South, and not impossibly serious troubles in
the new Territory. But that is their concern.
We hope. at least, if they send out arms, that
they will send men to use them-men who will
act more and talk less that they will send
such men as Greeley, Garrison, Wendell Phil
lips, and others whom the North could well
spare, and who would thus be afforded an op-
portunity Of proving their sincerity by fghtiog
for their principles. They have beat the drum
long time it is time they took to the musket

Of the republic. We think SO, too.
The Washington Sentinel, while pursuing
the same line Of conduct endeavors to make out
q case to excuse itself for the harm 1t has al
ready done. The truth Of the matter is, that
these sham nominations are got up and sustain
ed by the journals Of the old parties, and the
worn ont politicians, In consequence Of the re-
cent very important movement by the Pennsyl
vaDia Legislature, which resulted in the nomi-
nation of George Law. That movement was
something new and fresh In politics-it has al
ready been received with peculiar favor-the
time seems to be eminentIy fitted for such
movement, which threatens the ruin of the old
parties ard the old politicians. The Washington
Sentinel, the Albany Atlas, the Commercial
.Aduey tiser of Buffalo, the Evening Post Of
this city, and the Boston Post, were all
thrown into commissions by the effect Of this
new movement in favor Of the new man, George
Law. These old rogues thought to turn is off
with laugh, and it was to counterfeit its wide
spreading popularity with the people that they
made and encouraged such sham nominations
as those of Frost Mellen, Greeley, Mrs. Patter-
sen and Joseph Hiss, the scape-goat of the pu-
ritanicsl Bay State Legislature.
But all these old fogles will fiod themselves
mistaken on this occasion: the movement
which originated in the Pennsylvania Legisla-
ture is becoming more serious every day-it
cannot be laughed off or coughed down. All the
efforts to arrest its progress by the old poll
ticians will give it greater strength, and 1t will
roll on throughout the Union, inaugurating
q new political revolution.
