POLITICAL GOSSIP The greatest interest IN the
coming Presidential election is centred in lcnr>yl
vaDia and strong efforts will be made by all parties
to carry it The democrats will put forth their rong-
est efforts. The opponents of Mr.. Buchanan, he
other hand, will be just active in their Eff -
defeat him. There will be three parties in the c but
il is said that there will be only two tickets. 1t i, he
intention OF the friends of Mr.. Fillmore in Pennsyl-
vania and the friends of Mr. Fremont, each to have
electoral ticker, but the same names will be upon
both tickets, and will be arranged by transpostoH
that the tickets cast by the respective friends of the
two candidates will be known from the other
Then whichever ticket has the most votes the candi-
ddate for whom it is cast will receive the electoral
vote of the whole. This, ii is expected will unite
the whole opposition to Mr.. Buchanan, without d.
viding the vote-a division being 10 give the
latter the electoral vote of the State. " All is fair
in politics."
We copy the above from the editorial columns of
the New York Herad the head and front of the anti
Democratic confederaed opposition to the South
The same report has reached Us in different ways
but never before in authoritative u form, for the
Herald evidently does not speak at random
| The Southern representatives st Washington City
are fully apprized of the game going on, and feel
more and more convinced of the necessity of the
South bein united This knoU not simply through
the newspapers but on private authority of the high
est character.
| 1t is matter for the people 10 look into. We feel
confident that they 10W look into it, and if they only
keep their eyes open they will see the whole thing
unrolled like one of Giddons Egyptian mummies.-
Whether they will agree with the New York Herald
that this Fremont Fillmore coalition is all fair in
politics" remains yet to be seen.
0S-Congress is busy doing worse than nothing and
it will keep doing worse, and the sooner it adjourns
the BETTER that is certain. If it keeps in session,
the Free Sellers say, until they get satisfied or cease
to agitate, it will adjourn. They don't want
to he satisfied.
The House has had up the Brooks and Sumner
case, all for bosh. They can't expel Brooks and
they know it, but they use the thing to dema-
gogue on. We think Brooks was justified in what
he did, but his personal vengeance. no matter how
justfable. has been very expensive 10 every friend
of the Union and the constitution, because it has
given the enemies of the South just exactly the CAPT.
tai for The attainment of which they would willingly
have had Summers COMPOUNDED neck broke dozen
times over were such thing possible
We confess to much less interest in the affairs of
Congress this session than before The stampede
of last year has produced sort of know nothing in
terregnum, in which we only hope that as little
harm possible will be done. No one expects
much good.

naming to them to the 4th day Of March, 1857.
Our readers will perceive that the motion in
the House of Commons fer Judgment against
the course of the Palmerston ministry in the en-
listment business wasdefeated ly an overwhelm-
ing majority; but this amounts to an approval Of
the new policy Of peace which Palmerstcn has
been compelled to pursue towards the United
States, rather than an endorsement of his pre-
vious ridiculous but nischievous warlike bluster
and threats of determination. We are apprehen-
sive however thar with the settlement of this
Central American squabble some new discovery
for new quarrel with John Bull will very soon
be made. Perhaps he may start the Cuba question
upon us in some new shape, as offensive to all
sense of decency and fair play as the Ostead ma
nifesto of Mr.. Buchanan; perhaps the trouble may
spring up in Mexico, or away off there on the
Northwest coast, and in connection with the
Hudson Bay Company possessory rights, and the
onfctng claims of American settlers
1t is hoping too much to hope yet for mil
lenium between England and the United States
while they stand as rivals for the commercial
empire of the seas We may think the retention
of Mr.. Dallas, after the dismissal of Mr.. Cramp-
ton, a great concession; we may consider the
course of Queen Victoria towards our fellow
citizen in the yellow waistcoat as in the highest
degree conciliatory; we may suppose that in this
settlement with Honduras of the Central American
dispute, that England makes most extraordinary
and unexpected sacrifice Of State pride for the
sake Of American cotton and corn-but she is
biding her time. She is evidently, too, under the
delusion, with all her concessions that we are
powerless for war, and that she is magnanimous
where she might be defiant. 1t is sufficient, how
ever, for present purposes that Mr.. Dallas has
found that an easy task which was an impracti-
cable puzzle to Mr.. Buchanan, and that our
Pierce and Palmerston Cabinets-lately the two
most ridiculous and clustering Cabinets in the
world-have both, from the pressure of public
opinion, been at length reduced to the simple
easy and satisfactory policy of common sense.
