THE FIRST SPRING DAY.-Yesterday was the
first day Of this year when the weather was
fine enough to make people think that there
was such an institution as the Fourth of July
in this great country. The air was balmy and
the ladies beautiful. Broadway actually
smiled to zee it's t0toir crowded with gaily
dressed promenaders from morning till night
The rivers are clear of ice and crowds OF can
vas once more gladden. the eyes Of the pilots.
The traders of all kinds are opening their
spring goods and selling them too. Down
town the clink Of hammers mailing packing
boxes up is heard in every warehouse, while
the splendid shops on Broadway are crowded
with customers. New York is getting thawed
out and is quite itself again. Now is good
time for Mr.. Ebling to do something for the
side streets, which must blush at their nasty
condition when they run into Broadway and
see how niVe II is

ANOTHER AMERICAN CANDIDATE-NEw JERSEY
CAN'T Wharf.-The Monmouth IN. j. Dmorat
is informed by prominent Know Nothing that
a State Convention will soon be called in New
Jersey to nominate Commodore Stockton for
the Presidency. Very we'll. Why not? On
the 18th Of June convention is to be held in
New York, for the nomination of "Live Oak
George" and we suspect it would be as well to
give all the other White House aspirants of
the Order chance while they are at it, as
this will doubtless be theiS last opportunity.
Let Kentucky nominate Crittenden; let Ten
nessee put up Bell let Texas hoist the banner
Of Sam Houston; let Delaware rally upon
Clayton; let Virginia try Mr.. Bolts, ami SO on

Is not the American nominee having high
time? One day he is hobnobbing with the
Holy Father ct Rome; another day he is sem

City, and they are making "a lion of him +" in
utter ignorance of his initiation, by Gen. Gus

the third degree. Next we are officially in

have been to the crater of Vesuvius, and have
had the rare fun Of encouraging" scrim-

lastly, the news comes to us that the amiabls ex
President has participated in fox hunt on the
Roman campagna, where they have the big
gest foxes in the world.
But the above description of that hunt is
somewhat cloudy. 1t is clear that Mr.. Fill
more went out on horseback; but we are next
informed that he sprang to the top of stone
wall "to witness the chase after it had passed
the road" Where was the horse? Did Mr..
Fillmore dismount him to mount the stone
wall? If yea, what sort of fox hunting do you
call that? His true policy was to put the
spurs to his nag, cry "tally.hol" aud, clear

The really important point Of the foregoing
extract Is the fact communicated that Mr.. Fill

us then be patient in reference to his accept.
ance Of the Philadelphia nomination. The
news may not reach him for month or two to
