Wide yawning is the door- Way; countless are the columns; lofty and rial the balconies; vividly verdant the veran- dahs; and high above the topmost balustrade floats, self assentingly in the air, the banner of the stars and stripes.

The thing is gravely done—sternly, aaa solemnly. The drink is a duty as well as a mere relaxa- tion and refreshment. It is a part of the mis- sion of the sovereign people, and the list of American drinks should be hung up in the natural museum, along with the national tar- bucket, the national feather bed, the natienal revolver and bowie knife, the national Decla- tion of Independence, and the national and almighty dollar. I have no hesitation in sa: ing that the ta- ble d’hote at the Saint Boblink House is the best array of eatables in the whole world. In se re subtlety of the sauces and refine- ment of the flavoring may be surpassed b some European diplomatic chiefs, but od quantity and quality of the viands de, to adopt a native locution, whip all creation.

Little, perhaps, save the conversion of the bed rooms into which single travelers are put, from comfortless, scanty, draughty dog holes, into decently furnished and moderately comfortable chambers, and save the abolition of punish- meut of that great nuisance, and curse, and scandal, the expectoration of tobacco juice. Come away from the Saint Boblink House, traveler, for we are wanted in Hurope again. By the time we return to the States the palace will have been burnt down and it up again, larger and handsomer than ever. ————— +__ Political Items. The anti-Fillmorites of the Fourth district of Mass, have elected John Newell delegate tothe National Convention, to assemble in New York on the 12th ef June. Jobn S. Phelps has been nominated for Con- ress in the Sixth Missouri district by the emocrats; J. M. Wines, by the Ame: » and P. B. Lawrenoe, by the Bentonites. In the Massachusetts House of Representa- tives on the 26th inst., a resolution was intro- duced instructing the Adjutant General of the State to furnish each of their Senators and Representatives in Congress with two of Oolt’s six barrel revolvers. The Macon, Ga., Citizen has the best author- ity for asserting that neither Hon. Howell Cobb, Hon. A Stephens, nor the Hon. R. Toombs will except the Democratic nomina- tion for the Vice Presidency, if tendered to them. A Fremont Club was organized at Boonville, New York, on the 25th inst. Resolutions were —— favorable to the nomination of Colonel ohn Charles Fremont for the Presidency. Governor Jones, of Tennessee, who is an old line Whig, says he is waiting for the result of the Cincinnati Convention before he determ- ines what course he will take. The Albany Register, the soft shell Know Nothing organ, says Fillmore will be the worse beaten man that ever had the misfortune to be placed behind the distance pole in a political race, and his prospects are growing worse and worse every day. Hon. James B. Clay addressed an eld line Whig meeting in Frankfort, Ky., on the 24th instant. The Chicago Democrat, Wentworth’s paper, says if the bard delegates are refused admis- sion to the Cine’ Convention, Fillmore stands the best chance of carrying New York, On the other hand, if the softs are admitted and a slavery entension ad it will be—then look out for the suocess of the anti-Nebraska candidate, particularly if Fre- mont is nominated. Judge John S. Brien has declined the honor Presidential of being a Know N. elector in Tennessee. He is in favor of Fillmore and Donelson, nevertheless. The Savannah Republican says that al- though in the calculations concerning the Cin- cinnati nomination Georgia is set down for Buchanan, yet there are many indications that her vote will be cast for Douglas.
