IMPORTANT MovEMENT.-The wings hold gene
raj meeting, for the purpose Of receiving their tick
ct, tomorrow evening, al the Broadway House.
This will be highly important meeting, and VIII
exercise very great influence on the fortunes OF Mr..
| Clay and Mr. Webster Ii seems that the friends
of Mr. Webster intend TO offer resolution, by way
of repeating that one passed in the ward committees
against taking Mr.. Webster up on the same ticket
with Mr.. Clay. The Courier s. Enquirer, as the
organ of this branch of the wing party has distinctly
stated that resolution of this character will be
presented and that an opportunity will thus be fail
y offered TO the Clay men Of discovering their mag.
nanimity or hostility Ga the result of this move
ment will depend, in a very great measure. the
harmony of the party in the coming presidential
contest; and II is net by any means venturing too
much 10 say. that on it will derend the election of
Mr. Clay itself
Ii squite evident that Mr.. Clay and his friends
those OF them, at least who look on his course and
prospects with intelligence and calmness-,hat they
nave very little chance of success if they do not go
INTO the field with the assistance of Mr. Webster
and his party, who alone possess the means of car
rylng on the contest We shall regard, therefore,
with good deal of interest," the proceedings which
may take place tomorrow evening-give full and
impartial account OF them so that the wings through
out the whole country may know exactly how their
cause stands All political movements we need hardly
say, must originate herein the metropolis OF the
country. II things are set in motion properly here
they go well all the Union, and rice versa This
is very well understood. Hence the anxiety about
the fate OF the resolution TO be offered tomorrow
evening, with view to bringing about time when
''Ephraim shall not envy Judah, and Judah shall
not vex Ephram !"
THE VAN buren, FAM1LY.-We understand that
Jehn Van Buren,, one of the sons of Ex-Presdent
Van Buren,, is now in town, accompanied by his
lady, and that he intends sailing for one of the
West India islands, with the hope Of thus efiecting
the restoration Of her health, which has become
much impaired. John is accompanied by his eldest
brother, Abraham, and also by Smith, the
youngest.
Each of those young men, if not exactly born in
the purple-po,phyri geniti-as the Romans were
accustomed to say-at all events were married in
the purple. John married the daughter of dis.
tinguished Judge in Albany, whose talents and &C.
complishments are not surpassed by those OF any
other lady in the country. John himself possesses
all his fathers knowledge of the world and gentle
manly manner and address, with great deal more
VIII ana numOr. lie Will, one OF tnese Gays, come
out very distinguished lawyer if not politician.
Abraham, the eldest son, is very amiabe man,
but has not half the brightness of John. He mar
ried the daughter of wealthy planter of South
Carolina and thus inherits fortune of probably
$4,000 Smith Van Buren, is probably the closest
thinker and ablest writer the three, but he s not
SO much a man of the world as John. He is united
TO highly respectable lady of albany, who will
also bring him large fortune. All these gentle
are perfectly certain of their fathers re-eec.
ton All the friends of the Ex-Presidcnt, indeed,
are of the same opinion, and will not admit doubt
OF the matter. On what grounds this confident an
ticpation of triumph is based we are somewhat at a
loss to perceive or imagine, and assuredly we have
as good position as any body for makir the dis
covery with irnpartiality. A very great deal de-
ponds on the quarels of both wings and locofocos.
1t has been suggested that Calhoun should be taken
up by the ocofocos, as Webster is proposed to be
taken up by the whigs and run for the Vice Presi-
dency on the Van Buren, ticket. But we
question much whether Calhoun would agree TO
that. Time, however, will reveal all. A few
months will present the whole business in tolere-
bly, clear light.
