PoLTrcAL BoLriSe.-The Memphis Eagle
and Enquirer, speaking Of boiling, about
which Democratic editors write so much Just
now, says: every body remembers how
great the boiling at the North was when
Clay was sacrificed and Taylor nominated
and yet Taylor was elected. Everybody re-
members how great was the boiling at the
North when Van Buren, was sacrificed and
Polk nominated-and yet Polk was elected.
So of the boiling Of lS56-it will amount to
nothing. The great stream Of Americnnism
is bearing on Fillmore and Donelson in tri-
umphant style, and it will drown all boiling
and all boilers. Individuals cannot stand in
its way any more than straws. Man is no.
thing against great public principle. The
nominations in Philadelphia are wise. and
just, and therefore, is the party invincibe.-
The name of Fillmore is the brightest one Of
the old Wing names-nnd the name of An
drew Jackson Donelson, the strongest amongs,
the old Jackson Democracy. Boilers cannot
damage them.
