ability and intelligence, aud whose
political speculations are frequently
quoted, takes survey of the political
field, and comes to a conclusion that
sagacious men will endorse. The
Dispatch sets out by saying that when
Mr.. Fillmore was nominated 1T was
universally conceded his nomination
amounted to nothing;" that when
Mr.. Buchanan was nominated, he was,
to all appearances, the most popular
man in the Union" and would "carry
the country by storm, in spite of all
coalitions and candidates. that FIRE
mont, the next rocket sent up has
commenced coming down again y
the Dispatch proceeds to say:
The next astonisher was what fol-
lowed the return OF Mr.. Fillmore, the
most popular candidate of them all,
from a visit to the Pope and other
crowned heads of Europe. When it
was supposed he would hardly be MOTTO
ed, a magnificent welcome was extend
ed to him. Not only Know Nothings,
but the people generally joined in do
ing him honor. His speeches in favor
of tho Compromise measures and the
Union have electrified to the masses,
| and to day his chances are far above
par. On all hands, we find men who
had been talking in favor of Buchanan
and Fremont, now giving in their ad-
hesion to Fillmore. Commodore Stock
ton is out for him. The North Ameri-
cans, it is whispered, will endorse him
ina day or two. Edward Everett is to
take the stump for him, and, in word,
it seems as if the people had made up
their minds to administer signal re-
buke to the the sectionalists North
and South, by the triumphant election
of Millard Fillmore. If his friends can
keep the steam at the same figure it
has been during the past two days,
Millard Fillmore will be the next
President, There is no Disgusting the
fact that the sentiment of the country
is against sectional strife and discord.
With the exception of a few fanatics
in the North, and secessiopists and
DULLES at the South, we verify believe
that the people of these Sta ties desire
to perpetrate our form of government
and live in peace with each eth'r'
SUGARs.-The continuous upward
movement in sugars, says the Balti-
more Sun, has been a subject of gen
era] complaint among families and
consumers, and the sugar trade is now
in an unsatisfactory position. The
short crop Of Louisiana sugars have
set the wits Of spectators to work,
and great many purchases of foreign
sugars have been made on New Or
leans as we'll as New York account,
to hold for higher range of prices,
though prices, are very high already.
The trade is, consequently, only sup,
piled from hand to mouth for imme-
date consumption; yet there have
been large and regular arrivals of
sugar from the Spanish and British
West Indies. The stock of hogshead
sugar in New York at the close of last
week, the Post is informed, was Co.
900 hogsheads. This shows no scar
city Of foreign sugars, if it were ON
the market. The deficiency in the
receipts from all points since the LIST
of January is very large, though the
increasing importations are rapidly
making it up, the high prices attract
ing supplies from the British West
Indies. The demand has been con-
tracted in consequence Of the high
prices, and consumption is rather on
the decrease, SO that as that journal
is informed, the stock is actually TO-
900 hogsheads more than last year at
this time. Refners will supply them
selves from the continual fresh arrivals
