ing the time OF holding Convention, and
the fttest person for tie Presidency
We observe that there is controversy in
progress between the politicians in regard
to the opinions OF the people. The New
York Express contains The following:
The inmates of Tammany Hall are

Young Mems Committee having repudiot.

Old Mems Committee have been trying 10
repudaie the juniors doings. The resolu-
ton in the Old Mems Committee, to APP
prove the Regency dongs was opposed by
the well-known Alexander Ming, Of the
l4,h ward, and finally referred to select
committee OF seven, consisting Of Messrs.
Johnson, Of the LIST ward, Samuel Grape,
of the same, Edmund j. Porter, OF the
10th; Mr.. Nicholas, of the first; Col.
Ming, of the l4th; Charles A. Secor, of
the 9Th and Mr.. briggs, Of the 18th. In
this committee, i, is SAID, there are three
opposed 10 the ceedings at Albany,
perhaps four.
These movements show, The strength of
the Calhoun and the Van Buren, party

Van Buren, has the leaders, che gentle

Of ''the Democracy" in Pennsylvania
The so-callrd democratic ms mbers of the
Legislature held caucus previous 10 sep

Buchanan vas their first choice for the
Presidency, but determined to stand by
the result of the nomination of the Ma
tional Convention. They approved of
holding that body in May, 1914, (Cal-

That there is an incurable schlsm in the
great Democracy, is now conceded by
many of the Democracy themselves; and
an election by the House of Representa-
tives-unless Mr.. Clay's success shall
save that troubles looked to as highly
probable. Some Of Mr.. Calhoun's friends,
we know, despair Of any adjustment Of
existing diff, rencesupon satisfactory terms
and have already address their hopes TO
Congress. In nearly every State, the
Democracy have on hand most scanda

As there can be but one true Democra-
cy, it will be great scandal upon the
Grea, Democracy. IL they, from choice OF
necessity adopt the policy Of running a
multitude Of candidates, with view Of
taking the election from the people, and
transferring il to the House Of Representa-
tives. That such design is seriously
entertained in certain quarters we feel as
sured. But that the managers will be
disappointed in the result, we do not en-
terrain doubt. The people do not in
tend that this matter shall be taken out OF
their own hands. They will settle it them.
