 Nert Presidency-We perceive several of the New York papers are in this time of trouble and distress casting their eyes about to select suitable candidate for the Presidency in opposition to Martin the First The Star eulogises Mir. CLAY, and names him as the "most suitable" The American and Journal oi Commerce, MT. WEBsTER-while the Courier and Express think that is yet too early to begin to stl that question. In this heartily join. Give lit tie more breathing time before commence another Presidential campaign. It will be time enough two or three years hence.
 Gr The Legislatures of New-Jersey, Virginia, Mis-. sssipp Alabama, and Louisiana, are to be convened by special messages from the Governors to take into consideration the present emergencies of the country Several other states will probably follow the example The Governor of Pennsylvania has refused to con- yoke the legislature of that State.
 Hear him hear him !-The New-Haven Register is well known of the most radical prints in the country. None have been more forward in hurling it's denunciations agains, the Bank of the U States and favoring the warfare made upon 1t and upon the currency generally than that paper. It has followed in the wake of the administration for several years past with the most unblushing pertnacity. But in a late number it comes out with the following article, which we recommend to the special attention of our radical brethren. We are apprehensve it may lose q, If hv authority should it become known to the administration. Here is the extract:-
 "Things are dscouraging enough for the present the currency of the country is in conusion we have no general currency for the whole country and that is great evil in all the business operations at this time; operates hard upon the working classes ot the community. If man has money due to him in New Orleans, Mobile, or any remote part of the Union or even far Utca he mus! sacrifice large part of all his years business to avail himself of it. We can and the bills of their banks truly rags here-sub- ject to g. 10 l5 per cent discount. If he wishes to travel from part of the country to another he can- not fill his pockets with specie; 1t would neither be own local banks, by the time he puts up for the night he has got to submit to shave on the money in his pocket; and he has to repeat that operation daily Gas he travels to the end of his journey-and returning, he has to go over the same process again. There IS no mistake aboutit-We must have some general cur rency for the whole country; and it must be paper currency, founded on specie basis; we must have St. Louis, or Buffalo, it at NewHaven and Hart ford, and pass just freely from hand to hand with out discount State institutions can never furnish such currency-the experiment has been sufficient y tried, and tt $ noD an acknowledged alure. There IS no hope from that source. Nothing short of Nd-
 o"al stitution, with powerful restrictions, can ac- conps it; that can it has done it, and it can do 1t again. The sooner the people are put right on this subject the better-we must at last come toit.
 "Behod the Picture-is tt like ?'-It is not often that we are enabled to copy from the Van Buren, or Currency Tinkerng papers of this State any thing of political nature with appreciation; but the following picture of the hungry lobbytes which surround and give law to and spur up the dominant party in the le gsature is faithful and true, that cannot resist the temptation of copying it. that our readers may know something of what of the leaders of the Pat ent Democrats thinks of his fellows. It is from the Hartford Patriot and Democrat :-
 "- It has been truly said that the popular charac- ter of institutions, and the necessity for seeking popular favor and support, Tn order to the attainment ot the honors and emOluinents ot office, are causes which produce multitude ot demagOgues. The truth of the remark has been forcbly impressed upon mind by noticing the movements of few political advenurers that are hanging about the Legislature, who loudly profess democracy put who had they the opportunity, would put to the blush the despotasn ot Nero. Under the most spacious pretences, and be- hind the arest masks they are corruptng, deceving and deuding the people, By pretending to be their fattering their vanity-by affecting to be their hum be servanshey dexterously shift their position and appearing to follow and obey reality ledd command by and Jackson Was selGshness the primary principle that marked and governed their public career?
