POLITICAL.
Notes and Clippings.
The Hagerstown (Md.) Herald says
Pierce is the great embodiment of the tLas,'
and Buchanan the nucleus around which the outs
are gathering. The line of demarcation between
the ofice-hoders and oice-seekers of the party is
thus plainly and broadly drawn, and until the Gin
cinnati Convention meets and determines the ISSUE
there will be no peace in the family"
Emphaticaly so, and the Sag NIGHTS "outs" arc
very hungry creatures, even more rapacious than
the "ins," and they are hard to beat.
The New York News lizard Shel) thinks
The downward course of David Wilmot as po-
litcian should be warning TO all who consult ex-
pediency instead of principle Ten years ago he
was the most promising and formidable man Of his
age in the Democratic party in Pennsylvania since
then he has boxed the compass, until we now find
him an outright abolitionist The Montrose Dem
ocrat for several months paid considerable atten-
tion to Mr.. Wilmot's political maneuvring, and
asserted that he was not governed by honest inn
pulses in his various political lodges. To this Mr..
Wimot took exceptions, and appealed to grand
jury. But the grand jury ignored his bill.
TRUE.--The Port Jervis Union (Sag Nicht) says
Some OF the :" Republican" papers talk as If the
nomination of Franklin Pierce by the Cincinnati
Convention was probable event. In this they
aatter themselves with delusivc expectation
The Democracy of the Union, in choosing their
candidate, will not court certain defeat, which
would follow such wretched nomination. Even
the custom-house and post Office hrelngs of the
administration, with the inducemcDt of another
four years term at the public crib, viii shrink from
so hopeless an undertaking as the reelection of
Franklin Pierce. The men who have enjoyed the
favors and fattened upon the folly and imbecility
of the present Executive--the Macys, butcher
Guthries, Cochranes, Rynders, and Van Burens-
as ungrateful and treacherous as they are vena
and President Pierce will look in vain to them for
support in his fallen fortunes. Much as they
have fawned upon and fattered him in power, and
great as are their obligations for favors bestowed
not one of them will emulate in constancy and de-
votion-
THE sunfower, which turns to its god when he
sets,
The same look that it turned when he rose."
Coop AUTHORITY papers are yet discus
sing the question, says the New York News, who
are responsible for the election of Banks to the
Speakers Chair? Who placed it, in the power of
the Black Republicans" to elect Mr.. Banks
Speaker? The answer must be, those who voted
with them in favor of the plurality rule. And who
were they? By reference to the proceedings of
Congress it will be found that Mr.. Smith, from
Tennessee, offered the resolution for its adoption,
and that in addition to the Black Republicans"
who voted for it in body, the following names are
recorded in its favor Clingman, Herbert, Hick-
man, Jewett, Kelly, s. A. Smith, Barclay, Bayard
Clark, Wells and Williams.
Mr.. Clark was the only American who voted for
the plurality rule, but his vote was not sufficient to
have carried the resolution
The New York Courier's Washington correspon-
dent says Senator Toucey is the paper maker to the
administration, and represents nopart of Connect-
cut but his own paper mills.
The Boston Daily Advertiser inquiries what
Horace Greeley is doing in Washington? What
business has he, to keep him there all this winter
He pushes himself prominently before the pub
lie, and therefore we have right to ask these
questions. Every man who is good for anything
in this world-in America at least-pursues some
calling or vocation. Horace Greeley is no idle
cumberer of the ground. His sins are not sins of
omission. He has calling and vocation. He
is the editor of "leading metropolitan Jour
nar"-and his seat Of duty plainly and palpably is
in the city of New York A temporary absence
from the post of duty by one charged with trust,
may be venial offence. A permanent and de-
liberate deserton, is an objectionable crime.
Horace is arranging the affairs of the nation,
and of "freedom" particularly.
The New York Courier says that
I" If President Pierce really wishes to do some-
thing for Kansas, we should advise him to begin
with purging himself of most scandalous incon-
sistency."
A GENUINE Sac NIcHT.-The Selma (Alabama)
Sentinel reports the following speech, delivered re-
Gently in Montgomery Alabama by julius Hesse,
the chairman of the Pierce Alabama Sag Nicht
delegates TO the Cincinnati Convention:
