The first September being the tint

residences thrown open,-alter q remova

Metropolis Is rapidly filling up. IA
As IT in spirit OF contrarietY to th(
dictates Of custom, the days continue
warm enough to make q longer sojourn II
the country enjoyable, wherefore thosG
oil our well'to.do classes, who have the
courage TO prefer comfort and propriety

retreat for some weeks yet 10 come. New.

the number OF people seen upon the

or that the l0iterers arc returning, with a
new armor Of strength and health buckled
on, prepared to continue the battle OF lie,
which year in and year out, with but brief
intervals, has continued and will con-
tinue until that momentous day, which
shall some time come 10 each
OF us, when willingly, gladly, we shall
throw down our arms, and except OF that
eternal and beautiful rest which the
Golden Promise has assured to US, II we
"act we'll our part, there all the honor
lies" that, as we leave this vale OF tears
for the shores over the river, each may
TRANQUILITY say, with the poet:
death stands above me whispering low
know not Whist into my ear;
This arrange Language ali know
. Ia, there is not word Of fear"
But let me descend from the prial
loitiness Of poetic ncies,-whither the
beauties of Natures sky and air would
WOO me on this lovely day,-unto the
terrestrial depths Of hard prosive facts.
With the advent Of the fall season
THE POLITICAL WORLD
becomes re.awakened by the new vigor
and activity Infused into it Speculation
runs rife here, particularly as to who will
be fortunate enough 10 secure the Demo
cratic nomination for Governor OF the
State OF New York. Since the election
when the Democratic candidates for sew
eral important State Offices were chosen
by handsome majority, this party has
great expectations of the success OF their
Gnbematorial candidate in the ensuing
fall election. It Is almost certain that the
present Governor, General Dix, will be
re'nOminated by the Republicans, and In
order 10 counteract his extensive influence,
(superinduced by an almost universal
reputation for honesty and ability1 It Is
necessary that a very strong and favorA.
bly, known candidate be named by the
opposing party. Chief Justice Church,
perhaps the most suitable man for the
place, having signiaed his unwillingness
10 DO q candidate, Samuel ]. Tilden, a
Tammany politician who made himself
quite prominent during the Reform
canvass, seems to DO the most likely to
receive the nomination. However, consid.
cradle opposition has already been mani.
Tested toward him. The Tammany Demo.
Gratis are confident that their nominees
will fill all the city offices. In view Of
the rapid and constant increase of our for.
eign element, this result may be forshad-
owed as nearly acertainty. This IS the time
Of the year, in New York, when ward
politicians OF doubtful fame and still more
doubtful character emerge from the dis
NAL obscurity in which they have fol
many months languished, and present
themselves for the sufrages Of a popula.
