at is known that portion of the Democ-
racy at Charleston, yielding to the earn
est representations of portion of the
Southern Opposition, was anxious to Sc
cure the nomination of Mr.. Evetett for
Vice-President of the United States, in
conjunction with some Democrat as a
candidate for the first office in the peo-
pies gift, and thus, in the idea of Mr.
Breckenridge, an appeal might be made
to all who 'rebelled against the 'Republi-
can alliance The friends and admirers
of Mr.. Everett will doubtless rejoice that
his honored name was not subjected to
any such unnatural association but if
such coalition had been effected and if
Mr.. Everett could have brought himself
to accept the position thus assigned to
him, who supposes, for an instant, that
his nationality and conservatism would
have been subjected to the slightest sus-
picion or the least question? As it is,
however, the case is entirely different, for
the Democracy are great believers in the
adage that circumstances alter cases."

A GREAT EyroRr MovEuEvr.-The ex-

| A GREAT EXPORT MovENEST.-The ex-
ports from the port of New York for the
past week are valued at more than three
million six hundred thousand dollars
larger by nearly million than any pre-
vious week in the history orour commerce.
Nearly or quite one-haf of this great
value was made up of brcadstufis. Liver
pool and London take nearly one-half the
value of tho exports, and British ports in
the United Kingdom, Ireland, or depen-
denotes more than two.thirds. Indeed,
except cotton to lIavre, there is little to
swell the value Of the exports to other
than to British ports. Tho effect of the
heavy shipments to British home ports
has depressed exchange, and nearly stop
ped export of specie.
The BIGGEsr Fool YET.-You might of.
fer, through every newspaper in the
Union, reward OF fifty thousand dollars
for the discovery of single intelligent
man who honestly believes that Mr..
Breckenridge stands the remotest chance
to be elected to the Presidency, without
the slightest danger of having the re-
ward to pay; and yet the editor of the
Albany Patriot offers, according to an ex-
| change paper, "to bet $4,000 that Mr..
Breckenridge will be the next President
of the United States" If we had sum
of money equal to the annual expendi-
lures of the Admnistration-say about
SSO,OO0,0OO, and we lack only about
SI0,9o9909,9O of having that amount
we would rejoice at an opportunity to
stake the entire pile against double hand
full of peanuts, that il the editor of the
Albany Patriot makes Mat bet (Which he
could do easily enough if lie had the
