Every description OF Intrigue on foot to advance
the interest OF each Of the candidates Thurow
Weed winds the whole New York delegation round
his finger, with The exception Of the Clay men from
the city, and they will 90 fer Harrison IN case Seem
nomination cannot be brought ABOUT Weed is indie
fahgabe- his hand IS every mans oh oulder and
his mouth at every mans ear Greedy plays second
fiddle to Weed. He has got book on Logarithms
and the multiplication table set To music, which he
calls statistics, and he abeat like hen with her
head cut OIL demonstrating impos sbllit es with great
self satisfaction.
Col. Swift, the Mayor of Philadelphia, the leader
of the Clay delegates from Penus ylvana, denounces
the Harrison men as imposters who are exagserating
their own strength, IN order procure ,uinina
ton of their favoriie
II, is the d--dest folly Imaginable" sad the
Colonel this evening 10 affect the least c. nidencs
IN the success of the wing candidate in this State
whoever ne may De. | do not pretend that we
can carry Clay, ana know that Harrison would he
beaten by 20 600 votes. Then, why the devil should
we fslce an obnoxious man upon Virginia and the
whole south, merely 10 subsesve the views of set OF
scoundreIs here"
The Rhode Island delegation have come here pre-
pared 10 blow the whole concern sky high if CLAY g
not nominated That stupendous Slate is entitled 10
rorR electoral votes and her clustering is a sort OF
tempest in a tea pot
Delaware has three sets of deleQ ates, and we shall
probably have a beautiful fl hi about the contested
seals tomorrow.
