Important Political MOvements---The
"YOung Democracie" In the Field INA
pOleOn just Sealing the Alps.

pOleOn just Scaling the Alps.
Who that has once read can ever have forgotten
the thrilling description OF Napoleon crossing the
great Alpine passes, and climbing that mountain
barrier, surrounded by the young democratic" of
France Who can forget the startling sensations
the warm coursing of the blood, which were pro-
duced by the narrative of that brilliant victory of
indomitable bravery and perseverance over all but
overwhelming obstacles According to all appear
ances we about to be favored with second edi-
ton of this exploit of the little Corporal and the
fierce masses of young France, a somewhat
smaller SCALE indeed, but mark by equal lntensi
ty. The scene of this approaching and glorious
event will be the city of New York-time, the next
charter election. The Presidency of the United
States depends the issue of that election. This
is snow settled Recent movements have been clear
ly pointing to this position of things, and every ap-
pearance and every symptom now, confirm more
and more the accuracy OF our opinion.
BY all appearances, the next charter election will
be decidedly the most interesting and amusing one
we have had for years, in consequence of the new
pares-the new combinatons-the new separa-
tions-and general efiervescence of all the elements
of the "democrace. During the last year
the ancient Tyler party has been reduced, as
most at the same moment that it explodes, leaving
only that trace behind, new party starts into exist
ence in the Seventh ward, which promises, like the
rod OF the Hebrew seer that ate up the rods of all
the Egyptian Magii, to swallow all the other ee-
ments with the big "grease spot'' into the bargain
AS the day of election draws higher, the fun, ex-
ciement and interest of the movements will in
crease with geometrical progression. The Wings
hold their general meeting on Tuesday evening next
and the Democrats will hold theirs during the week
We shall send our corps of reporters to these meet
ings, and give full account of the proceedings.
Now, as we have with our usual benevoence and
philanthropy, undertaken the task of rendering sau-
tary advice to the contending parties, we take this
opportunity of mpressng the wings the propriety
OF managing their meetings with discretion and de-
cency If they undertake pass resolutions abusive
OF Captain Tyler and his administration, and to de-
liver and listen quietly to inf1ammatory and abusive
speeches-why, all we can say is, that they may
look out for another Lodi or Quare Bras! Once for
all, we tell them that the 'yeung democracie' are
determined that they will not permit any such at
tacks on the Captain. Let the wings then moderate
their temper keep their feelings in philosophical
subsection, and above all things, if they speak of
Captain Tyler at all, let them studlousy practice the
cardinal virtue OF civllity and good breeding. And
this afectionate advice is equally applicable to the
democrats. The necessity of its observance is the
same in both cases. "What is sauce for the goose,
is sauce for the gander."
The next meeting takes place in the Eighth Ward.
That ward, and also the Fourth, the Seventh the
Sixteenth, and the Twelfth, are about equally d.
vided. In the Sixth and Fourteenth Wards,
a serious schism has taken place in The demo-
cratic ranks. In all these ,cards fc,c rotes
tcW decide the fate Of the eleetons Let the "young
democratic" remember that. But they do
remember it. They know it. They are fully
aware of the State Of Denmark, and they have put
their trust in Captain Tyler and keep their powder
dry. We mean to combine them into corps he
reserve, and lead them on as Butcher did his band
TO the field of Waterloo. We have got the soldiers
and we can do it. And all will be done gratis on
our part. The philosophical interest of the expert
men is of itself sufficient inducement, not to say
word about the fun, which we love equally with
philosophy.
We therefore advise the "young demscracie" to
ascertain with precision the weak points of the
enemy. They expressed confidence IN John Tyler
at the meeting in the Seventh Ward All very well.
Bat they must enlarge the limits of their affection,
and stretch the strings of their consciences little
farther Let them embrace within their organization
the friends of Calhoun, of Cass, of glorious old
Dick Johnson one, in fact, except the old
regular hacks The two great parties have each got
their Bob in the field, but we will give them Bob
that will beat decency into them, before we have
done
THE BRITISH CONSUL AND THE IRISH ToAsT.-We
have received several communications relative to
certain toast given at late Irish Festival, and the
abrupt departure of the British Consul, from the
festive board on that occasion. We have also seen
some strange and laundering articles of explanation
and defence in the Courier and Enquirer.
From all that we have heard and learnt we can
form pretty accurate opinion on this subject-but
out of a regard to the British Consul whom we have
always esteemed as man of sense, gentemany
principles, and sufficient tact for his position we
not prepared to express that opinion or 10 add
a single additional dash of farce to the whole mat
ter. We have only to say, that Mr. Barclay, the new
Consul, has had an admirable example in the con-
duct of his predecessor, James Buchanan, Esq, of
strong good sense, natural tact, and great discern
ment which always steered clear of the petty cques
