The late elections in the South and returns from
Pennsylvania particularly, have raised the seconceit
Of the administration some two three hundred per
cent / am informed that Mr. Pierce is entirely
satisfied that he is the for the succession that
was his late speech at Harrisburg that revolutonized
Pennsylvania and that WISE Buchanan Seymour, Cass,
Douglas Marcy Cushing, JET avis, Hunter Dallas and
all the rest must stand aside. Democratic papers re
requested to take their from the Washington Union
That paper Of this morning reads the Albany Alias out Of
the true church for refusing to recognize the President as
the living and prospective head of e ssocrauc party
Take care
In the meantime it is reported here that Mr. Horato
Seymour has superseded Marcy as the administration
New York candidate but not with the consent Of Marcy
further information inquire of Mr. John Cochrane at
your Custom House who dare say, has instructions to
remind the faithful that Marcy is not to be lost sight OF
upon the strength of single hard shell speech from
Seymour.
The report that Santa Anna is here is perfectly absurd
The Mexcans in the city may be accounted for
in another way Some of them interested In those
cash advances to H. s H. upon the faith Of those three
millions indemnity still due the Mexican government;
but Of course they can get no relief from Secretary
Guthrie He must pay the money over when due TO The
existing Mexican government. .
Considerable excitement has been created in diplomatic
circles here by the report that Mr. Buchanan has been
instructed to demand the recall of the British Minister
Mr. Champion for his completely in the business ofenst-
ing troops in the United States for the Crmea and that
certain British Consus similarly guilty, will be dis
missed. Seeing is believing Mr.. Pierce lisa bold man
the of CHAMPION calls for action; but don't bet on 1t
that the thing is done, till officially advised OF It, for
Marcy has been somewhat of toady to Champion and
Marcy rules the roast in spite OF Forney and the kitchen
On Monday last the National Hotel under its and
justly popular proprietor, Mr. Guy, of Baltimore was
thrown open to the public with splendid dinner in the
discussion Of which large party OF ladies and gentlemen
citizens and strangers, participated The house mas
undergone complete transformation, from top TO bot
TOM In TACT, excepting the shell Of the vast establish
ment, ii has been made emphatcally new hotel
tn -oughout with all " the modern improvements" You
may gather idea of the interior furnishings from
the outlay expended upon them OF nearly one hundred
thousand dollars. The nlad tiled floors of the lower
portion Of the house exceedingly beautiful aud the
carpets, mirrors chairs pianos, window hangings &c.,
&c will challenge comparison with the finest hotels Of
New fork. Above all while the sleeping arrangements
for the guests Of the best and most comfortable de-
scrption the reputation of Guy caterer insures the
fat Of the land done to turn. Let the thousands who
have taken breakfast dinner at Guys United Sta
Hotel Baltimore, year after year, where the New York
train stopped at the old depot opposite bear witness TO
this substantial fact.
The gem of your st. Nicholas in the way of elegance
and richness OF furnishing and finishing, the bridal
chamber-lateiy, if mistake not thrown into the more
general Of the estabishment-and the principal
boa of the National Is the Presidents chamber adapted
especially for Inauguration occasions when the incoming
and out going President both require temporary iodg
ment at some hotel This chamber is supplied with rich
rosewood furniture covered with Napoleon blue and gold
cooed satin brocatee and the bedstead reposes under
canopy Of French lace, which falls gracefully the
sides The parlor attached done in spending
style of elegance and royalty. The White House IS
dest old fashioned affair compared with these rappng Of
modern luxury and extravaganza But such the fol-
lies of the day. and the public taste lies in this drec
ton, Guy, like the Herald ITSELF is only keeping pace
wit public opinion We all of us live to repent of
this age Of luxurious bagatees and fashionable excesses
but for the present the general maxim is
Live while you live, as the epicure would say,
And seize the pleasures Of the present day.
