UNCLE ABE's NEPuEws here are already
itching in the palm for a chance at the
public treasury. II crowd Of them are
seen on q street corner, it is safe to bet
that Federal appointments arc the subject
of their conversation. They are the sub
jeet Oftheir so!icitu'le by day and the staple
of their dreams at night. One would be
satisfied with the Post Office Of Placer
vile; another with desk in the Custom
House, while others would not object to
look after the poor Indian from a snug
post on some rich Reservation. y Fed
eral officer, they think, is not such dis
reputable cuss after oil, and the NirGinla
Door house" could be converted into a
most respectable and comfortable asylum
for the pOvcrty-stricken nigger-worshiP'
ing sons of New England. They are all
sound on the secession question, and
would rather die outright than See the
j." CniOn- slide" for the next four years.
We understand that there are score or
two of these precious patriots who expect
to succeed our worthy friend Spence in
the Post Office, and whose mouths begin
to water whenever they come in sight Of
the Plaza.

battle cry of "The Wild Horse of the
Rocky Mountains :" now they make a
gingerly attempt to get up shout over

litical murder Of their real leader, Sew

The s.ConstitutIonai Unlon'' CandIdate,.

John Bell, of Tenn, the constitutional
unionn candidate for President, was born
near Nashville, Tenn, in February, 1907,
and is now, therefore, in the 9th year of
his age. He is lawyer by profession.
He entered Congress first in 1927, and
continued to represent his district in the
house for fourteen years, At the outset
he was a warm admirer and political sup
porter of Mr.. Calhoun. In 1882 he was
opposed to the protective system, but
soon afterwards changed his views on the
subject. He resisted Mr.. Cahoun's pol
icy of notification, and was a jealous
supporter of Gen. jackson until the re-
moval of the deposits, when he left the
democratic party. In 1884 he was elect
ed Speaker of the House, receiving the
wing vote, and that of those democrat
who were opposed to Mr.. Van Buren,
In 1885 he openly advocated the election
OF Judge White in opposition to Gen.
jackson, and thenceforward acted with
the wings. In 1871, he became Secre-
tary of War, under President Harrison,
but rstired after his death, and remained
in private life until 1S47, when he was
elected United States Senator, and re-
elected in 1858. He opposed the Mexi-
can war, supported the compromise
measures of 1850, opposed the Nebraska
bill in 1854, and the Lecompton const-
tuition in 1858.
Edward Everett, of Mass, the Soon
stitutional union" candidate for Vice.
President, was born in Dorchester, Mass,
in 1874, and is thus three years older
than Mr.. Bell. At the age of nineteen
he was settled as the pastor of the Brat
tie Street Church, in Boston; from 1919
to 1924, he was Professor of Greek in
Harvard College; from 1924 to 1884, he
served in Congress then for four years
he was Governor of Massachusetts,; from
1871 to 1916, he was the u. S. Minister
in London; he was then President of
Harvard College for three years; sue
ceeded Mr.. Webster as Secretary of
State; was member Of the United
States Senate during the contest on the
kansas-Nebraska bill, which he mildly
opposed; and since 1858 has been mainly
engaged in gaining means for the pur-
chase of Mount Vernon by the ladies Of
the country.

The GATHERING OF THE LocUsrs.-It
is expected the seventeenth year locusts
will make their appearance on or about
the 9th of this month. The warm
weather thus far has been favorable to
the development of the phenomena. A
cold snap may retard their coming a
few days. An old observer says the last
time OF their appearance, 1S43, a few
were seen about the 10Th of May; but,
cold snap happening just then, the first
Adventures persisted, and the main BODY
did not appear above the ground till
about the 3D. of June. Some pleasant
evening the liver-colored grubs will be
seen ascending in countless numbers from
their subterranenn abodes of seventeen
years, Crawling upon some tree, fence
or brush, they will fix the old shell there
to by its claws, escape during the dews of
night through slit in the back, and un-
fold their wings before sunrise.

ANOTHER KANGAROO TICKET. The
Unconstitutional Union" Convention, in
nominating BELL and EVERETT, set the
example of making Presidential ticket
the strongest in the hind legs, and the
Chicago slaughter house" convention,
followed the example by putting before
Hon. HANNIBAL HAMLIN, the stalwart de-
fender of the faith in the State of Maine,
one ABE LINCOLN, whose chief merit is
that he recently came out second best in
a holly contested Senatorial canvass with
the Little Giant.

MAKING HoRsE-SmoEs FOR THE CHAM
PToNsHIp.- The development of muscle
leads not always to the prize-ring. In
Troy, the other day, John Mckinney and
Patrick Kennedy, blacksmiths both, had
an extraordinary trial of skill. The
former challenged the latter to compete
with him in making horse-shoes for the
championship. The challenge was &C.
cepted and the working time fixed at ten
hours. Each man, with his "helper,"
went at the metal. Their shops were
surrounded through the day by an inter-
ested throng, and ropes were stretched
about the FORCES to give sufficient space.
At the expiration of the ten hours Ken
ncdy had made $40 shoes and Mckinney
90. Near the close of the contest, the
"helper" of the latter tainted from ia
tigue. 1t is not probable that an equal
feat has ever been accomplished before.

Postponement of the State and Fourth
District Congressional Conventions.

AT meeting Of the democratic State central
committee on Thursday, it was decided to postpone
the State convention, which called for the 3lst
inst, until Thursday, the 18th day OF June. This
action was deemed advisable on recount of the adj
ournment of the national convention to the 18th of
June, the democracy of the State not being so well
prepared to take action as they will be after the
Presidential nomination.
For the same reason the democratic nominating
convention in the fourth Congressional district has
been postponed from the Both Of May to Wednesday
the 27th day of June by the direction of the proper
comnittee.-Free Press, Nay 20.
