The Presidential Juggle-Struggles or
C,iques and Candidates.
The business of President making among
the cliques, candidates, politicians and buck
sters, insiders aud outsiders, of all parties, has
now commenced in earnest all over the coln-
try The disruption Of the Know Nothing
party at The late Fillmore Philadelphia Con-
vention, into two hostile sectional factions, was
but the beginning, or rather but one of the
premonitory symptoms, of the curious exciting
and important contest before us. Never has
there been, and perhaps there never may be
again, anything in the politics of this original,
Incompatible and wonderful country to COM
pare with this preakneck Presidential steeple
chase OF 1856.
To-day, in Cincinnati, the democracy of the
whole Union, under the management Of our
highly respectable friends the Kansas niger
drivers, begin to stir up the mixed ingredients
Of their bubbling cauldron. What they will
bring out of it no mortal man can tell. The
wisest prophet among their jugglers knows no
mole, we dare say, of the nomination that will
be made than General Walker, down in Mica
ragua. The first regular course, after the
mock turtle soup, at the Cincinnati dinner
table, will be Pierce, Douglas and Buchanan
When these hopeful individuals shall have
been cut up and devoured, as prisoners of War
are consumed among the Fejee islanders, with
out remorse and without salt, the side dishes
will be brought forward, consisting of Mascy,
of New York; Hun.er, of Virginia; Bright, of
Indiana; Davis, of Mississippi; Rusk, of Texas;
Dallas, of Pennsylvania COBB, of Georgia;
Boyd, Of Kentucky aud all the surviving
available democratic speakers of Congress, and
governors of the last twenty-five years
In the event of failure to concentrate the
requisite o.tbirds upon any one of these, or
upon any other distinguished military chieftain
or county court lawyer, it is apprehended that
there will be grand explosion at Cincinnati
like the combustion of mass Of fireworks set
off by accident, scattering sticks, smoke and
sulphur, death and destruction, upon every de.
We, however, do no. anticipate any such des.-
rable result. 1.-The cohesive power of the public
plumber" brought up, under the economy of
our present model administration, to an aggre-
gate bard upon hundred millions year, will
keep the brethren together, and work out
nomination Of some kind before they adjourn.
VINO I" the happy man" will be is another
question. Like the Irish drummer in the play,
he may be man without shirt to his back
but the jueglers, for all that will be certain to
find him out, as the identical man for the crisis,
the country and the spoils.
In another quarter new and somewhat
startling movement has been commenced in one
Of the opposition camps 1t we'll known that

impulse was given to this movement ia State
