Important Political Movements In New
York.

by the g fierce democracie" of this awful, imperial
magnificent and poetica city-the city of beautiful
fountains-to assemble muttudinous Mass Meet
ing at Tammany Hall, for the purpose of nominat-
ing Marlin Van Buren,, the Magician of Undertook,
the sage Of Linderdorf &c &C., as the democratic
candidate for the next Presidency, to run 10 oppos
ton to Henry Clay, the Farmer of Ashland.
AT this mighty meeting Ia day and place will be
named for the assembling OF the National Conven-
tlon-also the mode Of selecting the delegates will
be indicated. At first ii was intended that Mr. Van
Buren, should be nominated at Albany, but on a
due consideration having been given TO the
subject, it was deemed best to let the move
ment and voice of future events come from
Tammany Hall In this quarter, the friends Of
John G. Calhoun appear to have been placed entire
ly hors du combat by recent events Indeed, it ap-
pears that Captain Tyler is gathering new strength,
and on the 18th of March, they intend to make a
demonstration from Military Hail.
Ii WILDE seen from these movements that the con-
test for the next Presidency and all the spoils, is
rapidly approaching Mr.. Clay's chances are Ger
tainly improving, not much for the wisdom or
foresight OF his party-for heaven knows the
wings seem to get along with as little wisdom as
possibe-but principally from the jealousies, quar-.
rels, and intestine connections of the " fierce de-
mocrace."
We shall watch all these Developments, meetings
and movements-report them correctly, and try to
make up an impartial opinion of their several chan
ces andlprobabilities.
The SoMKRs CAsK--DEFENcE OF COMMANDER
McKKNzrE-This continues to agitate the pub
hc mind a very extraordinary degree, and the in
terest universally felt in it, has been greatly
heightened by the fact, that is present the sub

nails
In accordance with uniform desire TO deal
with all parties concerned in the affair, in spirit of
strict and impartial justice, have endeavored to
make room to-day for several articles in defence o
Commander Mckenzie. These articles are indeed
Of great Importance, inasmuch they Indicate
with sufficient distnctness, the grounds on which
the defenders of Commander Mckenzie anticipate
his acquittal before the Court Martial, and at the
bar OF the worlds opiuion. We have therefore
pleasure in giving TO this defence all the benefit
which large circulation can bestow.
