of the Senate, who are hno,cn TO be- aspirants,

means to attain it. That a large majority of
the Lower House have similar aspirations.

periods in the future
AS regards those whose names have long
been before the people, there is scarcely one
of them that is not iull of hope. Gov. Marcy
is fully determined TO BE- in the field if posi-
bile in 1856, 80 is Gen. Cnss, and so is Mr.

Buchanan is writing dcprccatorv letters TO
his friends on the subject of the Presidential
canvass, apparently to dssuadc them from
attempting 10 "bucklr honor on his back"
but they very resolutcly refuse to be govern.

politician of Louisiana has taken charge fhis
interests in that section, and has already
