New YoRK, Nov Is, ls4S.
Aifeaay bruited all over the City that at the
spring election, the Native American party will
be the party who wan decide the fate Of our Mu-
nic'Pal election. which il may very possibly do
iof ne Wings are as parly opposed to our ma
turaiizatlon lays and if they shall agree TO give
the DISCONTINUED Democrats an equal share in
the City Council The matter will be settled, and
ior time the proportion Of the 7 or s, 600 votes,
say or 5000 Democrats, will be abstracled
from the Democratic ranks, and the patronage
OF the City be divided between the contracting
parties as they shall determine
Either this will happen OF the Native Ameri-
canparty will receive such an additional strength
from the Democratic party, as that, by running
a separate ticket, the latter viii be defeated
The ultimate result must therefore, be great

AN wrongly Informed, tftere Is great disccn-
tent pervading the State, which will inevitably
show itself in the great contest on the Presiden-
tal question.
II have obtained any credit with you as an
accurate observer, | am quite willing TO pledge
it all on the assertions and principles have i'm
perfectly endeayored TO set forth in this epstIe
which, to sum up in few words, amount to
well digested opinion that unless some plan shall
be fallen upon to get back the Democratic party
TO rally upon principle, so far as this State is
concerned, it cannot with any confidence bed
calculated upon as safe. There is no use in !
shutting our eyes to danger, fer that will not
avert it, and our brethren of The Democratic
family resident in distant States should not be
deceived.
conversed last evening with very intelli-
gent friend, just returned from a general visit
throughout the State, who confirms my views of |
the discontented feeling prevalent; and further
tells me that the Wings in their strong counties
say they do not wish the State 10 go for them
this fall-they desire the responsibility of the
Stale Government to rest for the present year
upon their opponents.
end this letter, therefore, as commenced il,
by assuring you that there is a deep and we'll
founded discomfort in the Democratic ranks per-
vading the State; and, in my best judgment, it
is all attributable to the course of the Washing
ton Globe and the wire-workers You will hear
from me again after the political complexion of
the State is ascertained. Meantime, am, &c.

question of the annexation OF Texas should be brought
