Punch ON Hoops.-The London Punch, MS

bratedpedcstrian, but better known at Lords,

hood Of London, MS the "Ammcrsmith Ante
lope, is still carrying on his herculean feat of
walking round lady in full dress 100 times
in 100 consecutive days. He is now in his
second week, and looks rs fresh rs when he
first started. There are bets to considcra
BILE amount that Paddy will never be able to
complete his arduous undertaking. What
makes 1t still more difficult is the fact that q
fresh lady is substituted every day. IT has
been observed that the dresses of these vari
Gus ladies', instead of decreasing, are actually
getting bigger and bigger almost every week.
What the size, therefore, will be before the
Goth, much less the Tooth, day is completed,
the most elastic Imagination snaps, like an
overstre,ched piece OF ndia.rubber, in its vain
efforts to comprehend. 1t is also feared that
there will be no open space large enough in
the vicinity of the metropolis to admit of the
experiment, MS soon MS it has expanded to its
fullest dimensions, being fairly tried. In the
meantime, however, Paddy displays uncom-
mon pluck. His unfuiling good humor and
cheerluness under his trying Iabors, such as
would exhaust the oldest and worst paid
pos,man of st. Martins le.Grand, win smiles
of approval even from his fairest fampants.-
We wish the brave fellow every success, and

PowERLEss AT THE NoRTH.-What will
the Buchanan men at the South say to this
frank admission by n Democratic Buchanan
journal at the North. We take it from the
Fredonia Censor, published in New York:
"Up to the present time, we have advocat-
ed the election OF Mr.. Buchanan, and now We
prefer him TO either OF the other candidates.
But Dir. Buchanan is powerless here at the
North, and will not carry single State. Eve
ry Southern State cannot elect him, and we
are satisfied that he can't carry them all. But
if the South will rally to Fillmore, he can be
elected and the Union saved. 1t is to aid in
this good work, and in the overthrow of the
Catholic and sectional candidate, Fremont,
that we this day declare for Fillmore"

You deceive yourselves with the hope that

and unchastened ambition. And il the re-
collection or common dangers, in which the
people of these United States have stood side
by side against the common foe--the memo

recollections and proofs of common interest
ATE not strong enough to bind us together MS
one people, what tie with hold united the new
divisions of empire when these bonds have
been broken and this Union dissolved The
first line of separation would not last long;
new fragments would be torn otf--new lead.

rious Republic would soon be broken into II
