e~islature have issued an address TO the people on
that subject, and they have also published a cores
pondence with Henry Clay, which Is looked upon
as his acceptance of a nomination for the next Pre-
sidency. under the banner ola political tariff" IN
GLIDING a national bank. This State movement has

One OF the purposes ;of this early movement in
New York is to ''head off Captain Tyler" by lead
ing away the whole body of the people who elected
him against his administration, under The cry OF
''traitor, - ''scoundrel, " "faithless man'-"no gen
tleman." This is the same policy which was mark
ed out by iona c. Spencer, at Albany, IN the la
NOUS Central Call of the Convention OF last year
before that gentleman was appointed to the wa
office, and had his mouth closed Theoretically witt
the s'run Of the kitchen" In Albany and IN thu
city, the combination is nearly completed, and tn
best oke Of all is that the patronage OF the presen
administration is constantly used for It's own de
~structoin.
Another reason, at this time, for the movement o
these committees, is to prepare for the approaching
contest about the new Common Council, and the
spoils thereunto belonging. The wings, like wakeful
guardians OF tlelr cause, are busy dppoIlIouihs ou'
the Offices Of the new Corporation, to all those who
are understood to be in favor of heading off Captain
Tyler for the benefit of Mr.. Clay. If the wings
should get the Common Council, every locofoco
will be removed, of course and none bat the friends
of Mr.. Clay will be appointed. In making their Sc
lecticns for the vacant offices, we have no doubt
they will make Il an especial point to erclude erery
srkig ,cho may be tUiHing 10 gire Mr.. Iyer's admins
fration a fair trial, before ~pitngins into a presidential
election. This viii be a leading point, and it is very
natural to sup pose that the ardent friends of Henry
Clay should adopt such a policy. BY preserving the
wing ranks uabroken, and keeping the party lines
tight they hope to draw all the moderate into their
wake. 1; is also a very singular anomaly that the
EXPIRES with its clique, who are receiving the pa
tronage ofthe present administration TO the extent of
1880 per week, will be among the first to join in
this project to head off the man who feeds 1t up to
the eye lids. Take every element now in motion,
they "open very rich' and present a singular series
of movements aai couater movements-ot manll-
ness and ,reachery- OF friendship and folly. The iu-
ture Is big with fat and gravy.
