Political CHAMELEONs.--When Mr. Fillmore
was President, Andrew Jackson Dooelson was
editor of the democratic Washington Union, and
in that capacity kept up pretty active
war against Mr.. Fillmore and his admin
istration. These articles the Washington
Union is now republishing with q gusto sbich
is truly refreshing. But what of it Politi-
clans are like the chameleon, and their color
is changed to suit the hue of the object to
which they are temporarily attached, just as
the complexion Of the chameleon is changed
from white to black on being transferred from
a piece OF chalk to piece of charcoal. Mr..
Donelson is not an exception to make wonder
of. Mr.. Fillmore was one Of the first and
most decided of our New York anti.masons
In opposition to the secrets of masonry, on the
ground that poor Morgan was murdered by
the fraternity, and that where all is not
open, all is not honest" and yet, we are
now assured that Mr.. Fillmore Council 177)
is sworn member to ell the Know Nothing
secrets of that awful third degree. In Gene
raj Jackson's time, f. p. Blair was his chief
trumpeter, and now this once trenchant dem
cratic Warwick is big chief among the Nj
GER WoRsHIPPERs. General Houston was u
democratic candidate for the Presidency at
the last three Baltimore Conventions and
now, we presume, having as q Know Nothing
failed in 1866, like a good many others he is
open for any new party that may offer rea,
sonable show in 1860.
But w. II. Seward is the most remarkable
chameleon of all He too was one of the frat
of the anti masons; and he was one OF
the first and most decided anti Know Nothings,
and has, on account Of his strong affection for
the Catholics, the honor Of the warm personal
attachment of Archbishop Hughes. Yet this
ssme W. Il. Seward has not hesitated in every
possible way TO use and fuse with the Know
Nothings to accomplish his eIds- he was thus
reelected to the Senate BY Know Nothing
votes, and he and his agents have 80 thorough.
~ wormed themselves into the Know Nothing
party of this State that with the nomination of
Mr.. Fillmore the arch-agitator will kill it at a
single blow.
The ticket of Fillmore and Donelson ia GER
taiDly remarkable combination; but II is not
one of the seven wonders of the world. Think
Of General James Watson Webb and Horace
Greeley pulling at the same string The poll
tjsian is chameleon and changes his color
according to that of the respective plants upon
which he feeds. That's all.

one great merit in the lady,s fictiohs, tina, they
faithfully delineate life and manners, without
entering on yexed social, religious, or political
issues. In 'India,' tho reader will find a vivid
deincation OF the Southwest. But this is not
all. The characters are boldly drawn, the in
cidents natural, and the action of the story ra-
Pid and absorbing. Tho two heroines are hne-
ly contrasted. The hero is a noble creation !
strong of will, earnest in purpose, firm for the
right, and persevcring to the end in whatever he
believes to be justice and truth. Wo cannot re-
call, in any late work, character ideally lof-
yet so faithful to reality. The heroic spirit
in which he goes west, abandoning the Injuries
no has been accustomed to, and settling down in
his rude log hut, determined to conquer fortune
with his own good right hand, is, indeed, the
true type of a seErelying American. No fc-
ton of Mrs. Southworth's bears such proofs of
careful finish. 1t ought, on these several ac-
counts, to have popularity unrivalled by any
OF her former works, spite of the immense cir
culation thoy have attained. 1t will be publish
