Is Democracy is the great chnaeleon of
political natural history, and the instincts
and habits of the party are in strict con-
formity with those of the animal. Buckland,
the celebrated naturalist, says of the chame-
leon:
Betwixt the two sides of the body there
seems lack Of sympathy. One eye may be
looking straight forward, while the other is
looking as direct backward. One may be
asleep, while thea Ether is wide awake. And
this kind of independent and separate action
applies TO each sideof the creature-St It's limbs
IL cannot s1cim because lis limbs refuse 10 act IN
concert. Could the two sides understand one
another and agree on prescribed course OF
action, it might always be awake or half
awake. But it gains nothing by its unilateral
INDEPENDENCE; the two sides are like two
horses that won't work in harness. 1t seems
strange, with such popularity. that on trees
or terra frnd, the creature should be able TO
make any progress. But as the two sides are
fed by one mouth, and as the insect tribe re-
fuses to come to it, so they seem. in regard to
all culinary matters to agree to sink their
difficulties, and to move in harmony. The
stomnche is potent harmoniZer.
Look now at the analogy. There is no
sympathy between the two sides of the Demo-
cracy-one looks forward to progress, the
other casts lingering glances at the land
marks of the past; each portion is indepen-
dent of the other and they can't act in con-
cert; they won't work in the same harness or
draw in the same team. But both sides are
fed by one mouth, the Federal Treasury, and,
under its influence, they sink their differences
and move in harmony. Take any Locofoco,
selected at random, and he will have all the
specific marks of the entire race. Give Mr.
Agassiz any one of his limbs, and from it he
could describe the whole tribe, just as the
scale of fish or the bone OF an animal leads
the inductive philosopher to knowledge of
the complete anatomy of the perfect animal.
Then look at the menagerie at feeding time.
and see how their ravenous instincts teach
them TO gorge at the public treasury, and how
as the stomach distends, the genus chameleon.

John Thompson on the New York
KrOkers, Board.

No man in or out of New York better un-
of Stock Brokers, in all their phases, than
JOHN THOMPSON. In the last number of his
detector, he thus describes that notorious in
stitution
"The prices of Stocks are wholly controll-
ed by brokers" 81 The public do not NEEDLE
with Stocks, - There is no animation at the
Board, owing to the absence of outside Or
ders." These are stereotyped phrases in con-
versation and in print. And why? Because
the public have found out that the Board is
indeIing machine, qnotation institution;
and when it is anything more than this, it be-
comes nothing less than registry.
If an individual talks a loan, he gives ole
broker an order to sell few thousands, and
another broker an order to buy. The quota
ton Is made and published, ard the Stocks or
bonds are indeXed by The machine.
fla clique Ofspeculators, who have already
secured about the entire stock of company
wish to bleed the bears, they take all buyer
and seller offers that are made, and, for bait
throw out little cash Stock, until the corner
is effected; then they buy up all the floating
Stoek-call in the buyer contracts, and take
up the seller contracts as they fall due. Of
course, the clique of spectators bleed the
" lame ducks"
The clique of spectators at this point turn
bears themselves, aud by the aid of % conuais-
SION BROKERS' through the registry office (the

Invested themselves of their Stock.
1t is evident that an outsider, in operat-
ing in Stocks, will lose three times often
as he wins, and if he looks to his friends who
are in the secrets of the movement, for adj
vice, he will never win; for the Stock specula-
tor cannot serve two masters. He must be
true to his and his clique and hisinterest, and
treacherous to his outside friends. This is a
binding moral obligation on Stock operator.
In these facts lie the secrets of the lack OF
legitimate business at the brokers' Board
Real investors seldom purchase through the
Board, but search the market for what they
want, and buy at private sale"
Nothing short OF opening the Board to the
public, will bring back its former prestige
and again give confidence to its quotations.

expenditures Of the Departments, and to over
look their estimates? Most certainly Mr..
BUcHANAN's. 1t is his duty to enforce upon
the heads of Departments, whose appoint
ments are in his hands, and for whose acts he
is, in great degree responsible, the lessons
of economy. But in the above extract he de-
sires 10 refer the whole business to Congress,
and have them to take up estimates, item by
item, and to 60 into the investigation of the
facts and necessities upon which the estimates
are based. Who supposes that members of
Congress could undertake such work and
bestow the required amount Of labor upon
their other duties! II is simply absurd. 1t
is one of the duties of the President himself
and his agents. They are responsible to Con-
-gress and the country, for false or exorbitant
estimates: and the people will hold them so.
But why should Mr.. BUCHANAN become so
suddenly solicitous of this matter in bis last
message? Instead of commencing reform
of his own voliton, a whitening exposure OF
his extravaganza had been made in the previ-
Gus Congress. and the newspaper press
throughout the country had teemed with in
dignant references to it. Mr.. BUCHANAN well
knew the odium which would inevitably
attach to this feature of his administration.
and be came up with this twattle about q
rigid scrutiny" by Congress to avert that
Odum. 1t was mere make-shift,a bypocriti-
cal pretense to shift the responsibility from
bis own and the shoulders OF bis party, and is
wholly pointless, powerless and Intellectual.

A Memphis correspondent gives the fol-
lowing passage in debate between Andy
Johnson, a candidate for Gnbernatorial hon
ors, and Gustavus Henry, generally known
as Gus, the Eagle Orator The debate was
severe, and excited much interest,". Andy
closed his speech with this annihilating de-
clamation:
ave met this Eagle, and l can say, with
an honest heart, that he has none of my flesh
on his talons-none of my blood on his
beak"
This was good, and would have been a
stumper, but the undsmayed Gus immediate
ly rose TO his feet and replied:
'''Tis true the honorable gentleman has
met the Eagle, and bears no traces of having
left flesh on his talons or blood upon his
beak. And tits not strange, my friends; for
those of you who know the habits of our ma
tional bird know full well that he never feeds
upon carriOn!"
Such shout and such discontinue made
Andy quake, but did mt defeat him for Gov

"a Gov. HARRIS states in his speech, with
an tir OF triumph, that the administration of
Mr.. Polk conducted a war, and yet spent less
money 10y an average of $4,000 per annum,
THAI the succeeding one of Mr. FILLMORE in
time OF peace We suppose he considers this
proof that the democratic party ia the one
ofeconomy, and the opposition the one of
extravagance. Gov. HARRIS does not state
whether the expenses of that war were paid
as they were incurred, and whether the pay
ment OF portion of that debt was not
entuiled upon the administration of Mr.. FILL
MORE. He also fails to state the fact that, as
Mr. Polk was leaving Office, all the vast
territories acquired at the close of that war
were not organized, and that Mr. FILLMORE
had their protection and management on his
hands. That the Federal establishments in
Cali Orni' and the other acquired territories
involved an expense which was unknown to
the administration Of Mr.. Polk Without
having examined the details of these expenses
we venture that il can be shown, that the adj
ministration of Mr.. FILLMORE was by far the
most economical of the two.

The YoungWIdow.

She is modest, but not bashful-
Free and easy but not bold;
Like an apple, ripe and mellow
Not too young and not too old.
Half INVITING, hall repulsive,
- Now advancing and now shy,
There is mischief il her dimple,
There is danger in her eye.
She has studied human nature;
She is schooled in all its arts;
She has taken her diploma
AS the mistress of all hearts.
She can tell the very moment
When To sigh and when TO smile;
True, a maiden is sometimes charming,
But the widow all the while. -L
Are you SAP how very serious
Will her handsome face become;
Are you angryf she is wretched-
Lonely friendless, fearful, dumb.
Are you mirthful5 how her laughter,
Silver sounding, will ring out;
She can lure, and catch, and play you,
AS the angler does the trout.
