Coming Events.

Coming Events. ...
A correspondent of the Gazette, writing
from Louisville, grows very indignant over
the following paragraph from the st. Louis
correspondence of the Enquirer:
"I speak semi officially, at least, when
gay that a storm is brewing in the political
horizon more to be dreaded and feared than
many defeats in battle. The removal will
create such revolt in the Western Army
the result of which can never be foretold. A
divided North and an indignant people
against an unjust and INSCRIPTIONS Admin
istration would be fearful state of affairs.
To this end we are drifting unless through
the interposition and mantul independence
of the Executive the calamity is averted.
Will the President take the honest RESPONSE
bility"
The Erquirsr'S correspondent says no more
and no worse than is constantly being said
on street corners and in newspaper columns
by any body and every body who chooses to
discuss the current events Of the day. What
his "semi officially, at least" means we do
not know, and probably he had himself no
very distant conception: it is merely the
common trick of the trade-to pretend to
know more than we do, and to get our in
formation from higher sources than are open
to others; but whoever goes much among the
people can hear any day the same things,
either in the form Of threats or Of con-
lectures, as often as he plesses.
The correspondent of the Enquirer pro-
badly associates with the friends of General
Fremont; and as a matter of course con-
tracts and reflects their views and opinions.
AL newspaper correspondents associate with
somebody--are indebted for information,
facilities and favors to some officer or de-
partment-and naturally fall into the way of
thinking of those with whom they thus as
sociate. The idea that a newspaper corre-
spondent upon the staff, or attached to the
suite, or drawing all that he knows from
General A. or Colonel B., is an impartial
observer and chronicler of events, is the
most absurd that can be imagined. No
chameleon copies more faithfully than he
the exact hue of the branch to which he
cliugs.
There is some correct foreshadowing in
the paragraph we have quoted. There is
trouble ahead. Congress and the State Leg
islatures will soon be in session. The anarchy
OF opinion that now prevails to so great an
extent among the people, will inevitably
find its way into those bodies. Not only so
but it will be aggravated and intensified by
tie discussions that will there take place
They who expect that the unanimity of the
Congress of July will be initiated by that o!
December, will be mistaken. They who ex-
pect unanimity and unfinching obedience to
the signals of the National Administration
on the part of those members of State Leg
islatures, who were elected upon that idea,
will be mistaken.
Whether the people are indignant or not,
they will be divided into many parties, upon
many points, and their divisions will all be
more or less accurately reflected in the re-
preventative bodies. Politicians will be
politicians, as heretofore. They will find
their Rstriotism to lie precisely in the line of
their interests. President making and
great men making machines will be at work
more actively than ever. Conflicts of inter-
ests-the jealousy of those who have not
and the cupidity of those who have enriched
themselves, will come in conflict upon every
field where there is chance for a contention
The friends of the present and those of every
imaginable future Administration will have
their ends to promote. Every public ques-
tion will be complicated with innumerabe
private onesi and unless some important
event shall occur, to throw into the shade
and render obsolete many issues that are now
preparing, the coming political season will
exhibit q Babelitish confusion of interests
measures, plans, ambition and enmities, sucl
as our nation-perhaps no nation-has eve
witnessed.
