mined from the moment Of Mr Bishops defeat, in
the same sprit Of resentment to the popular will
as was manifested when Mr. Clancy Jones was
sent to Austria after being laid 10 the shelf by h.
former constituents 10 the ancient stronghold OF
Democracy. The President has natural sympa.

by nearly every State that contributed To his cleo

which is described as making Us wondrous kind.
In surrounding himself with these dead men, he
has only foreshadoWed the fate which is 5000
destined to oyerake what little is left of the Ad-
mnistraton. In twenty one months and a few
days more. its sands will have run out, aud Bu-
chaDan will pass into history as John Tyler has
DONE only remembered as President through
the dull chronology Of official succession.
Mr. Slidell is laying his traps for the nomination
at Charleston by every artful ement to counter
act the disafit ction which NJ Soue has 50 boldly
headed in Louisiana. He has perfect understand

machinery Of party must be set asde. This sort Of
maneuveriDg is not confined to the Democracy by
any ueans but is now 10 active play among other am-
bilious aspirants, ~hO think they good chance
for attaining power by selfish combinations, and
who are audacious enough to suppose that great
States can be turned over BY personal Contract.
IT behoOves the people to watch these movements,
which, if allowed to run on unchecked, may hazard
the success of 1860, which otherwise would be a
fled fact.
COupt Sartges leaves us at the end Of this month,
after having furnished the little newsmongers with
various paragraphs for month pact concerning his

any marked sensation in political or Diplomatic
circles, and it may be said even Washington Is re-

the Count But, after tho recent experience Of the
Napier ball, where half of the whole proceeds was
fohbed, as commission for gettiog up the affair,
subscribers will look twice at their $40 before
turning them toto speculative pockets. SO the
Count must tabe the will for the deed, until the ex-
