THE MOVEMENTS OF PARTIES = The friends OF MI.
Calhoun took courage from the expression oil MIR
Van Buren's friends in the Park on Monday after
neon, and AT a quiet, private party. OF some actVe
promoters of the cause of the great southern states
man, at Washington Hall, they gave vent TO 'heu
exuberant joyousness They are now as busy as
the mosquitoes have recently been, presenting bills
at sight for the establishment OF Calhoun paper
The skirmshing is becoming active, and indications
ofthe general campaign are plainly observable -
Unless, however, the Calheunitss are fully deter
mined TO run their candidate on his own hook, or
dispute the organization of the National Conven
lion, they ave moving at too late period. The ap.
pointment of thiry.sx delegates from the State of
New York against them is formidable number;
and they may complain of packed ward meetings
and delegates chosen by force or fraud till they find
themselves beyond redemption. Without more
skllful tacticans than they to have enlisted in
the cause, more determined action the paper they
design TO publish will only be the means of squan-
derng the sum they collecting, and of affording
little coterie of amauer writers opportunity to
write 1t into non.exstence destroy il by their con-
f1lctibg and inexperienced counsels
There are symptoms OF the organization of par
ty, nevertheless, which will run Mr. Calhoun ire

plon OF free trade and sailors rights, and thus throw
The election into the House OF Representatives,
where Mr. Van Buren, would be outvoted without
question, for there the great State Of New York
would have more votes than Rhode Island or
little Delaware. In this aspect OF the matter
the contest will assume, al early day, IAN exciting
character At present only the light troops are
skirmishing, but soon shall have the body of the
army engaged in the encounter, and then we shall
detail with more minuteness the movements, en-
counters, tactics, and treacheres Of the opposing
forces.
The National Convention 10 all human probability,
will divide and nominate several candidates; for its
organization, as now indicated will not be submitted
10, and hence the party will be thrown into disor-
der Dick Johnson's friends will be found strong
enough to entite them to some consideration and
an attempt will be made 10 unite the Van Buren, and
Calhoun delegates on him, while they will be ire.
conclleaby opposed In each other. Butth Calhoun
men will trust to the House of Representatives,
which will throw the election between Calhoun
and Clay, and 1t may possibly result In a coalition
OF singular description. None of us yet know
what wonders we are designed to witness.
Dick Johnson is showing much sturdy independ-
ence and immoveable determination in this matter,
and hence he is about TO invade the Undertook
cabbage garden. He has stumped /, through the
west, and partially in the south, and now is coming
10 the north and to the east He will be here in
few days, and will re enkinde the slumberng EN-.
bers OF the zeal Of many of his admirers. He may
possibly draw to him some friends ot Van Buren,,
and hence the old Hunkers must take old Tecumseh
into their charge as soon as he arrives, give him
few junketings, and pass him beyond the boun-
diaries of the State, and thus get rid oi his dangerous
contiguity. There is much affection in thousands
of hearts for the old veteran, and it will bubble up
maugre all the schemes of politicians; and his pre-.
sence here will be an event which will REQUIRE
watchful vigilance of the wire. workers With all
the exuberant kindness OF his heart, Dick John
son is dangerous man in these "diggins," and he
must be got rid OF as dscree,y as MAJ be.
Thus then we stand The party leaders are eyeipg

and consequently The odd trick mag make up the
game for their opponents All the elements of se-
neral election are being brought into action we
have pure principle and political prostitution truth

ALisoN's HIsroRY OF EURopE-The glaring mis-
representations of this work have called forth nu.
merous rebukes, both here and in Europe. James
F. Cooper, Esq, author ct The United States Naval
History, in recent letter, published in the National
Inteligencer, has exposed the manner in which au.
thorities are given by Alison for utter falsehoods,
coined or adopted by himself. Whoever takes the
trouble TO look up the authorities he gives, will find
them generally ms-quoed, as in the case OF Mr.
Cooper. The able history OF the Pennsular war,
by Col. Napier, is largely drawn upon by the vera
cious Alison, and whenever the matter has demo-
cratic tendency, entirely misrepresented. The work
of Alison should be called Special Pleading in
favor of Aristocrats and the Aristocracy." No de-
pendence whateverican be placed in its statements,
so strongly is ii tlnged with rancorous party spirit.
The meanness OF the author in the matter of which
Mr.. Cooper complains, should earn for his work The
contempt OF every American, Independent of the
ignorance which II displays OF everything concern
ing the United States The ISLANDERS against Com
modore BaInbndge went through many editions in
England unnotlced. They were fabricated to suit
the English market. When, however, the rapa-
cious author understood that the Harpers were
about to publish cheap edition in this country he
promptly published letter swallowing his own filth,
with view to suit this market. Such a work, as
" history" should be secuted by every one. 1t
should be read only an apology for the iniquities
OF aristocracy during the stirring events to which it
refers. 1t rs designed to gloze over the infamous
disregard of Plighed faith, the frauds, receptions
paper money swlnjDgs, bankruptcies, repGd atoms,
and manifold crimes, By which the holy alliance
paid with money, for which the Engl SD people are
now starving, and encompassed the fall OF Napo-
leon The great work of N. Tniers now in pre-
paration, will be Sc the history" Of that period.
