Our Next vice-PresIdent.

LET your readers imagine q man quite
past the meridian of life, but with the
years resting lightly upon his head. A
tall, sinewy, square-shouldered man, with
hand as soft as velvet and as firm as
friendship, and figure admirably pro
portioned--there is in the pose of the
head the suggestions of an ear always in
clned to the plants of suffering human.
ity. 1t is round, shapely head, with the
organs of benevolence and veneration
largely developed. The broad forehead
as clearly defines the qualities of order
and casualty which are essential to prac-
tical results, and beneath the crown of
brain we have soft brown eyes--pure wells
of virtuous thought-which have the quail
ity of carrying conviction to every heart.
A large nose, in artist parlance of the
general order, neither Roman nor Grecian,
gives character to the smooth, round
cheeks, and the mouth-never was there
mouth more worthy of trust The lips
are mobile in the sense of generosity and
tenderness, but are not less expressive of
courage, self.reliance and firmness. 1t is
a mouth to be trusted forever. A deci-
sive chin completes the perfect oval of
face which is shaded by soft gray hair,
worn long and thrown back from the tom
Piles. The face is smooth shaven, and a
roseate complexion indicates the healthy
cid age of a well.spent life. The morn
ing we saw him he had been in the Senate
until four o'clock, and had taken no rest,
but he looked as fresh and strong as a boy
from his morning bath. This, too, is only
the day but one after his nomination to
the Vice. e.Presidency, and he is as serene as
a summer sky. His voice is round and
full, with an organ depth of tone which
insensibly commands attention. 1t stere-
otypes, to use a fgurative expression, the
truthful language of the age. Withal,
my pen has failed of its purpose if it has
not conveyed to your readers the idea of
a great and good man.-Ldurd ReGHa's

The Humor OF the Canvass.

SOME of the supporters of our honest
old uncle are afraid that the humor OF the
canvass is not so apparent to his oppo-
nents as it was at the time of the nomina-
ton. But if any man familiar with the
political history of this country fails to
see the Joke of gravely nominating Hor-
ace Greeley as the regular Democratic
candidate, il is because his sense of hu-
NOR is extinct. Considering also the ut.
ter hopelessness of the effort, the attempts
of Mr. Greeley's paper to commend Mr..
Greeley to the Democrats, by insisting
that he is by no means so much friend OF
the colored race as Mr.. Voorhees, has rep
resented, is exquisitely ludicrous Again,
that Fernando Wood, and Raphael
Semmes, and Beauregard, and Braxton
Bragg, and Thomas J. Creamer, and Pc
ter b. Sweenys MIR. Bradley, and Oakley
Hall, and Kinsella, and John Morrissey,
Senator Fenton, and Alexander Mcclure,
and John Wentworth " Co. should figure
together as apostles of purity of govern
ment and leaders of great moral revolu-
tion in American politics-that Mr.. Hor-
ace White should shout Justify for cold
Protection, and that the Springfield Re
D,.blicaR should seriously support Mr..
Greeley after Mr.. Samuel Bowles letter
of the 4th of May from Cincinnati-are
facts of the utmost humor, which, we as
sure those who think that the country is
getting dulled to them, the country con
stantly contemplates with a smile more
perceptive than flattering.
These things are none the less funny
because Mr.. Greeley as the Democratic
candidate may make a vigorous canvass
He would be none the less absurdly untit
for the Presidency if he should be elect
ed. If Mr.. Bowles be correct, and Mr.
Greeley be man of ''perversity of tenn
per-" would his election remedy the de
fectY If, as the same judicious supporte
of Mr.. Greeley observes, the sage give hi
faith to those who fawn upon him, anC
who use him, and slander and abuse thos'
braver and truer friends who dared u
expose them to him, and tell hin
the truth, even if he does not like it,
would his election change him, There
no man in the country of unsounde
Judgment or fonder of flattery, no maj
whose presence in the White House woul'
be such a permanent disturbance OF tn
national mind as his; and would all thi
be any the less true if he should D
| electedY
The truth is that the fun and the fact
OF his candidacy are entirely 'unatiecte'
by the chances of his election. II, how
ever, he should be elected, we agree tina
II would be no laughing matter A Pres
