We have passed through a heated term, which
was pro,racted almost beyond mortal endurance and
even now, when the gilded grssshopper-a vane or.
nsment that adorDs The cupola OF Faneuil Hall
has been looking eastward for several days, have
experienced hut little ameiorat!on OF the excess o.
caloric in the atmosphere. For six months 10 come
the Bostonian who shall grumble at chill east
wind will deserve 10 be annihilated by the clerk OF
the weather for bis ingratitude.
Politics which rose 70 the boiling point AZ the late
American State Convention In the Cradle OF L5er-
ty, has simmered down TO something like proper
consistency under the influence Of the hot weather
and the manager Of the leaders OF the Fremont
party. The Fremon'ers have concluded 10 snap their
fingers at the Know Nothings in this State and,
cordng TO present appearances, they can at.
ford to do II with IMMUNITY. The Fremont
republicans and that portion Of the Americans who
are certain 10 20 for Fremont are act do WI n the
aggregate at 20 00O while the Fillmore Americans
are estimated by the knowing ones at 10000 II
these estimates are correct IL is obvious that il would
not pay to endanger the foreign vote for Fremont
nv making concessions 10 the Know Nothings. The
only lob 20 lie plished now il the adjustment

Fremont Americans, and as Nessrs. Wilson, VIII.

him in anticipation Of some such event, by
