Daniel Webster at Saratoga.
The Hon. DANIEL WKB,rER returned Satur-
day from Saratoga-tired, fatigued and worn cut
after the sojourn of week at that crowded and
fashionable watering place. In another column, our
respondent has given rapid, butts clear outline
Of his interesting +" sayings and dongs ON that oc-
cason but the real form and pressure OF the events
at Saratoga are not to be in the speeches, the
toasts, or the songs, given there That meeting OF
the high politicians might be professedly for the
purpose of securing the triumph OF General harri-
son, but, really and truly, il was the FIRST movement
for the succession. Harris ms election is now con-
,desed certain among the politlcians-of course the
next game is the succession. We have not been
idle spectators Of these recent movements. Daniel
Webster General Scott, Nathaniel p. Talmasge,
were all the ground, surrounded by their warm
personal and political friends, each set ousiiy and
secretly engaged to forward the views Of their own
candidate for the succession. Mighty combinations
have been maturing at that fashionable place, which
we shall develope a, length in few days. The po-
litiea AFFAIRS of Ike country in curious and in
tsresting crisis As the election Of Harrison is con-
siderea certain, let us now raise the curtain We
did not visit the Falls of Niagara without taking
look at the rapids and currents politics
New Political mOvemtnts-Spuf
of the Organization for the Fall Campaign.
The turn that the recent elections have taken all
ever the country evinced by the returns of seve-
raj large states now nearly complete as TO leave
no doubt of the result, causes all the old and wary
politicians TO turn their attention to the political
complexion of the State Of New York; for on the
vote Of this State more depends, in regard to the
presidential election, than any other point OF the
Union.
The election being by general ticket, the results
to each party fraught with most important con-
sequences. Already, therefore, the old rank and
file party are beginning to move towards COM
plete and efficient organization for the fall campaign;
and the first step will be taken tong hit by the Tip
pecanoe Club OF the nth Ward, which was the
first of the Tippecanoe clubs established in the
country.
The recent results so favorableto the cause Of Ge
neral Harrison have been brought about entirely by
the agency of these Tippecanoe Clubs. Through
them the rank AID file Of the country have responded
10 and joined the rank aud file of the city, and the
consequence has beea the triumph Of General Har-
rison in every part of the Union, where elections
have been held subsequent to their formation
II the state of New York is saved for Gen Harri-
son, il will its salvation solely to these clubs
There has been, and still is throughout the state,
strong, very strong feeling against Governor
Seward, even amongst his own psrtisans; and
in some sections, the opposition to him is ter
rife amongst the wing ranks. And if the ques-
ton 10 be decided in the state Of New York this
fall merely that OF governor, and not of presi-
dent, Gov Seward would undoubtedly be defeated
by very large majority.
We repeat, then, that every thing depends now
upon the proper management Of these clubs, and
Al # -.
rank and Gle party. This is the strong point that
must be well looked TO, and not be suffered to fall in
the back ground. All the other movements are tri-
fling compared to this. The stump speeches and
mountebank splays and midnight orgies, and sing
ing Of songs fall into insignieance by the side OF
this great movement. All the convocations and
mass meetings at Saratoga, ard Bennington, and
elsewhere, smor Mt to comparatively nothing That
at Saratoga indeed, had nothing at all TO do with
the next pres Dental election. That meeting was
held solely with view to settle the succession; 10
see whether General Scott, or Clay, or ebster,
stands the best chance, and to decide upon which
candidate can be most clevery jockied. At that
meeting Mr.. Webster delivered himself of his creed
in connection with the subject, as Mr.. Clay had
previously delivered himself Of his creed at the
eession meeting in Virginia. On the other hand,
General Scott quietly walks about, six feet two
inches high in the midst OF the whole Of the
seious that every body knows he fought al the battles
Of Chippewa and Lundy's Lane, and covered him
self with wounds and glory aud upon this he is sa
ti-fed to rest his chance for the succession.
This may be all very well; but the November bat
tie has yet n be fought, and the decisive battle
ground will De the state Of New York. If General
Harrison is ss successful here he was at TiPPe-
canoe, he will he President; and IL not,-not. The
only troops that win the fight for him are the
rank and file Tippecanoe clubs; and TO ensure them
success they must discard all broken down politi'
clans and old party hacks, and organize promptly,
prudently and efficiently, the true old rank and file
for the fall campaigs.
