Senator Wilson of Massachusetts,. a mediocrity
speaker has made a mediocrity speech on the Cen
trail American question and Clsyton-Bulwer treaty.
lie regards the treaty as a bad move our side
but thiaks there Is no fear of war, the American
people being SO far behind their demagogues in
war movements as to afford guarantee of discre-
ton. His illustration the ifty-four forty brag
and its subsistence to fortynine 1t is well at times
that satire should be turned upon ourselves.
i Virginia appears not 70 be wholly 0verslaughed
In the recent appointments of the House. for find
that Mr. George T. Wilmington, of Alexandria.
has been appointed Assistant Superintendent of
the Document Room.
1t is said that Mr.. Madison of New York. is to
be appointed chairman of the Committee of Post
Offices and Post Roads. If so, the appointment
will prove unfortunate to those who make it. Mr.
Madison is universally regarded-at least do not
know an exception to the general opinion-as a
shrewd gentleman but one whose impulses do not
indicate him as good sentinel over the money in.
ferests of the country. He Is sometimes jocuiarly
spoken OF as the Representative of the Collins
Line.
The conversion of this District to Frees oism
Is often said TO be an ardently-desrcd purpose of
the Republicans; but am assured that not a single
Free-SoiIer living here has been remembered in
their distribution of offices.
The National Era, the Free-Soil paper published

Its party of pure Republicans, there is understood
to be but thirty-two in the House. The truth is
there is more vitality and power in "Americansm'
than has been deemed by many since the cessation
of the early triumphs of that party-or, in other
words since Dir. Wise discomfitted it in Virginia
