we Bourbon among uss but 1t seems to me that few out of the mystic circle realize the pre- |digious power the psessIexercisss ,in this coun- Etry in the manufacturesof great saen. The role ot Warwick, King maker, is really the true sphere of the journalist, and if they only make good kings they become public benefactors.- Some of the most distinguished and gifted of the profession have seen this with clearness, and bscoms powers in this land, while those that have been dazzled by personal ambition rarely succeed Among the most striking instances of the first class, and from each of the old political parties, are Messrs, ThpgloW. Need and Francis P. Blair, Sen. Both these gentlemen at the outset saw that ttBss ftfpe course was not to seek the ordinary prizes of ambition, and never hold offices. It is wonderful rtozsee the power that this fact, gives to the. eopnsels of each. + The creations of MT. Weed in this line are mul- titudinouss and ito name them would be to almost write the history of 5Whig rule in, the State of New York. Messrs. Washington Hunt, Willard Fillmore, and Wm. H. Seward are names that will readily occur to the most careless student as illustrations, and the two first are melancholy monuments of the fate of such creations .shen sheg try to 90 alone.

 When the Republican party was formed these two leaders of the white and the red rose came into the same political organization, and have been ever since in close hand-to-hand fight for the mastery. Mr Blair beat MT. Weed in both the National Conventions; the last was perfect Waterloo, and Lord Thurlow for a time, and the first in his life, gave up the hopeless struggle Fremont was Blair's creation in 1856 and he is now trying the dangerous experiment.. of going a,one with his wife's genius and his own energy he may succeed, bat it will be close rub Without publishing any paper, old Blair, out at Silver Springs, to-day exercises a more potent influence over the American press than any man living. 1'ne '..'f '.
 Col Forney made Buchanan, and failed when the Senatorship from Penn. bewildered his clear head, but has now, I think, given up am bition, and falls into the role of Warwick grace fully. :a.-... .....r. H.. .sfT
 If had time to go on, I might multiply in- stances and "reminiscences, that would scarcely fail to interest. suspect that we need not go out of our own State to find instances of the same thing. Mr. Burr's power over the Breck- iuridge party in this State is founded much on the fact that he is not an aspirant for office I doubt if a more complete myth ever existed than tho popular idea of our Postmaster outside of this city. There are two Mir. Cleyelands. as different as the mountain under the glare of the noonide sun is from the mountain ali draped with storm-cloud and dense fog The one we know was year ago selling ready made clothing for a respectable Asylum St. house, and in his mental and oratorc capacity, is an exact dupli- cate of Jim Gallagher the talented youne,Irish- man" of New Haven. .a..-.
 The one, you know, is the gifted orator whose stirring eloqaence turned the tide of battle in Penn, in Va, and hurled the sham democracy back over the Aileghany range headed forlorn hope insNew Hampshire the next spring, holding entranced huge audiences at Concord and Man chester. ..
 This one is mainly the creation of A. N Clark Esq., aided, of course, by the PaAadium and Nor,cich Bulletin. It used to be amusing when Clark wrote out the speeches Cleveland really did make, putting names into them that were not ut tired, striking out those that were, making sense in pritt for what was urged egotism, anl un- iuteligible ill fact but submit ill all fairness, if it isn't carrying the joke too far, to make Cleye- land make a speech at the meeting to prepare for the celebration of the 22d when he didn't naake one at all, and the reporter of the Coaaanl not being present. I fear the conclusion is ir- resistible that Cleveland himself suggested it, The last two attempts the Postmaster made to address our citizens were prematurely cut off, one by the Chairman ruling him down, and the other by the indignant audience. If he dare try it again before the Union men they will not be apt to be as lenient as before. .l - !. .f
 There is one quality which these two Cleve- lands have in, common, and that is talk, and a faculty for making great sensation.
 If l did not see 1t with my own eyes, I could never believe 1t true, as the Hartford Press said the other day, that with a Union and Repub- lican party, a member of Congress from this district, Senator and Cabinet Minister from the town, that we were absolutely unable to re- move the Hartford Post-O OHce from Breckinridge influence. The waters have been stirred for months, Committees and the Post Master have been to Washington, Senator Dixon has written reams of notes, Secretary Wells is as delphie an oracle as the one in Greece, and MT. Cleveland, we know, keeps all at bay. MT. Blair has sent special messenger to ascertain facts, and a public meeting is called to receive him to-mor- row night. If Clark can make another man that can make as much trouble in little peace able community, like that at the head of sloop navigation, it is to be hoped he will do it, so we can play one off rgainst the other.
 There is very little f any thing new in politics, things are chaotic, not yet taking form or come Illness. I think begin to see another candidate in the scrub sace in the next legislature for the Senatorship and it is no other than the nestor of the bar and bench, Hon. Wm. W. Ellsworth.
