GsSsaAL Scorr AHp THE Hsxr PnEszDsHcr.-
The party hacks of Wall street are discussing the
questsu the next Presidency with great ssaor and
warmth. TIE "star" insists that Clay, and Chy
alsne is the man, and says the National Convention
must take him up The " Courier" says ditto, bat

Clay, with a large slice of the whiskers for Web

bany clique move but thinks the Convention "ne-
cessary evil" &AA#AE III EkE y
The agitation Of the Presidential question among
the politicians is beginning to be quite amusing.
From the natural movements among the people
witness the Oneida resolutions in favor Of General
Scott-it 10 evident that a complete revolution is
somng to head in relation to the probable selection
Of candidates. Webster and Harrison are already
laid on the shelf, and abandoned; and by common
consent, the question is narrowed down to General
Scott and Mr.. Clay. Yet we hardly think that Ge-
neral Scott has any chance in the Convention, or at
the approac hing election The intriguing politci ians
in favor Of Clay-Clay will, therefore, be nomi-
mated, and he is, Van Buren, will be re-
elected. No man has any chance against Van Buren,,
or possesses the popular power to put him down but
General Scott, and if we were to pat on the same
ticket with him, John G. Calhoun, the present in
cumbent would be dstanced south and west, and
the refore defeated.
But this rational course do not expect from the
rabid intrigsers who manage the concerns of the
whig party, and 60 for Clay to the devil. Mr.. Van
Buren, has, therefore, the "vantage ground" at the
ensuing clecton-but for the succession, il we can
put any faith in the general popular movements,
springing up like the buds Of May, among the
people, we have every reason to believe that they
will elect in 1874, for one term, and against all oppos

JOHN c. CALHOUN ron vIcE PREsIpEST.
Could we get better pair! Speak, for Bennett is
an independent man, and will even abandon both
Scott and Calhoun, if you point out better
ticket
WEDDIEGs.-We have on hand the delicious par
cuars Of three select and fashionable wedding par
ties, from Of which we received Yesterday an
enclosure Of sweet cake from the sweeter and airer
bride in Fourth street We shall give them all, in
full dress, early next week-probably in our double
sheet on Wednesday, very appropriate channel for
such charming affairs. We are right glad to see
marriages multiply. Divorces and separations have
been so plenty of late that it was necessary to in
crease weddings in order to preserve the population
Of these United States from diminution. IT, on bal
ance of accounts, there be any deficiency in mar
riages as compared with divorces, believe we
self shall have to make il up BY getting married also.
