Every thing in this wayward city is settling down


ih.o quet business, pleasure and social enjoyment,


WIN the exception Of the fragments Of excitement


hat remain among the eoteies Of politicians, like


the walls on the sea shore on Long Island after an
| Atlantic gale. The friends Of Mr. Clay in Phila-


delphia lay the principal blame upon their coadju-


tors in New York for the loss of his election
They mourn over him with the most extraordinary
pathos and sentiment, and insist that they will sup


port man but him in 1913, believing that il the


whg party remain true to their position and their
principles, without any amalgamation with any


other faction, be it liberty natives, they will
yet carry the country in lS4S.


There is certainly some pIausihility in this view,
tor nothing but the most untoward accident pre-
vented Mr.. Clay from being elected this year.
AS to the democrats, they are already beginning
TO quarrel for the spols, and for the succession
Mr. Dallas is In curious position He is already
watching the movements OF the" sections" as you
call them, and Will make his calculations TO play
between both SO as 10 form party ot his own out
ol the capital OF Pennsylvania am very much
disposed TO think, notwithstanding all they say of


the firmness and sagaciiy OF Mr.. Polk that he will


become The shuttlecock and sport OF the Northern
aud Southern factions, as poor Tyler has been of


the wings and ocoiocos during the last three years
Business here Is beginning to revive, In spite Of


the efforts oi the Wall street brokers ts get up


panic. Money Is getting plenty-no better evidence


Of this IS TO be seen than the crowds attending the


theatres and other public amusemenis. The old


aristocracy OF Philadelphia broke down, and disap-
peared with the United States Bank--but a new
| set-and new cot9is, have risen up OF late years,
who, without the grace and refinement Of their
predecessors, have more lberality, money, and


bon-homn,ie All the theatres here are crowded


nightly almost. Anderson, that you have cracked


UP high III New York, opened last night at Ches-


nut street to very fashionable and crowded house.


During his frs, engagement here, he played to al
| most empty benches-such are the effects OF :" first


rate notices. in New York paper. Burton is


it, But particularly is the immortal Welsh, the
great giraffe hunter in the wids oi Africa, doing
| smashing business. His splendid theatre, con-


nected with Circus in Chesnut street, holds about
5000 persons. and almost every night il is full


The great middle class Philadelphia are the best


paronso theatres and other places OF amule-
ment.
