From the National lntcIliycnccr.
THE NEXT PRESIDENCY.

All the elements of the contest, vet so
far distant, for the Presidential Chair at
the expiration of the present term of the
Chief Nlagislracy, seem to be already in
colnmolion.
We noticed, a few days ago, the nomi
nation of Mr. BrcnANAN for the President
cy by public meeting at Harrisburg, in
Pennsylvania.
AS set-oll, apparently, to that nomina-
ton, meeting has been since held at the
same place of the friends ofGen Cass. our
Minister TO France. Thus he also is in
nomination.
AT "Dcmocratic" meeting. which NAV
be termed set-otf No ., held at the Cour,
House in the city of PHILADELPHIA ON
Thursday evening last, it was determined
that MARTIN VAN buren,, of New York,
as the resolutions say, is the proper per-
son for the candidate of '.lLc Democra-
cy." sm
RICHARD NJ JOHNSON has also been
proposed in divers places as the candidate
of the Democracy"
Alta great "Democratic" meeting held
at Fayctte, in Missouri, at which so in0u-
enlial a 'Demcrat" as Ex-Governor REy-
NoLDs, OF illinois, was present, senator
BENTON was formally nominated as the
preferred candidate Of that part of slhc
country.
Some writer in the Madsonian, moved
probably by the examples before him,
formally nomlnatcs for the office of Pre-
sldent JOHN TYLER, and for that of Vice
President DAVID RlrrENHoUsE Porter,
OF Pennsylvania, the present Governor of
.hat. State. Upon this nomination. by
the way, the New York Commercial Adj
vertiser, considering how reluctantly that
paper at last reinquished the support of
the administration, rather nnkindly saws:
awe make the prediction, and place it
now on record for future reference, that
neither JoHv TYLER nor DApIp r PoR-
TER will receive single electoral vote for
the offices in question:
In the midst of these amusing differ
ences of opinion among these "brethrcu
of the same principle" the WnlGs ap-
pear to think OF but a single candidate,thc
veteran Western Wing of ,hirty-sevcn
years standing. Content, nevertheless,
to submit their own personal preferences,
to General Council of friends, and to
abide It's decision, the proposition for
National Wing Convention seems to gain
friends, having been seconded by many
OF the leading wing Journals.

THE GLOBE AGAINST TYLER.

The Globe firmly and resolutey re-
pulses the overtures of the administration
for junction with the Locolocos. Mr.
Spencer and MIR. w ebser are berated with
out stint; the identity of Tylerism and
Locofocoism expressly denied and the dis
tinclion in declining any association with
the class of men who compose the TYLER
party. The Harrisburg Reporter takes
the Globe to task severely for its course.
Most of the locoloco papers in The State
arc soaping up Captain Tyler just now.

PRAISE.

The Madisonian of yesterday, has a
long editorial, laudng the couse of the
great man now nominaly at the head of
affairs at Washington. We have not
room for all the adjectives that are used
to denote the feelings Of the di'or towards
the President, but we copy few lines:
"W ere the great and maghanimous peo-
pie OF America ever ungra telul to their
beneactors? No! They have enabled
the President without a party like Da-
vId of old, to strike down the giant foe,
and to dispense his mighty hosts in con-
fusion! Where, now, is the Clay party?
Where, now, is the president without
party?' The Republican flag of '9S is
hailed with joy by eager miIIions!p
The Clay party in the United States is
firm and united, The "PresIdent without
a party" is at Washington, paying very
dearly for few laudalions.

LOCOFOCO TYRANNY PUT DOWN-TliE
WINGS AND TIE LAW TRIUMPHANT
IN NEW YORK

In the April election, in New York City, the
Wings clenrlJ carried majority of the wards, al.
though, in consideration that Mayor Morris had
done very well, many wings voted for him ,thereby
ensurng his re election. Yet they carried ma
joriy OF the aldermen, and assistant aldermen, and
thus secured the control in tho City Government.
But SO bent wero the locofoco party upon holding
on when fairly defeated, they fixed on all manner
of trivial excuses, for not allowing four OF the
whig members of the board take their seats, and
the Mayor refused TO swear them into office, and,
together with his locofoco Aldermen and assistants
went on to Administer the Government ofthe City.
The Whig Members Of the board duly elected and
composing majority, organised also, claiming that
they had been properly elected. Armed with clubs
and surrounding themselves with mob, the loco
oco Mayor and his adherents chung to their offices,
while the Wings cody appealed to the Supreme
Court for a Mandamus upon the Mayor requiring
him to swear in and admit the excluded wings to
participate in The Government OF the City, the
places to which the people had elected them, The
Court examined the questi ms, and finding the
W higs right in each point for which they conten'
| died. issued n Mandamus-all three judges concur
| ring-and all three locofocos Nj orrs now allows
the four rejected Aldermen to take their seats, and

put into the possession Of tho City Government ~
clothed with authority by the Court which the pee
pie conferred upon them in the election.
I Here is another triumph over the lawlessness &
outrage of iocofocoism. aud il is gratifying, as i
stays the march OF corrupton and shows that ir
all cases locofocosm cannot carry out those frauds
and villanies, as it does in others Its debasiDs
J and destructive doctrines can never triumph IN
virtuous community, and hence its leading advo
Gates, calling to their aid the refugees of the ole
! world resort to mobs and revolutions to give then
selves place, power and spoil. This we do no
pretend to say OF the mass OF the party, but onl.
of the demagogues who lead on that party to meas
ures destructive in their tendency, and when ca
ried out subversive of the principles of republ
can and free Government.
The Wings, now, by large majority have tn
