The New York herald., 1844-10-20

The political movements IN the city are now In
teresting in the extreme. This interest pertains to
all the parties, and particularly TO the three great
parties, embracing the "natives," the wings, and
the democrats. The other two small parties, the
abolitonists and "reformers,' are too minute at
this election in this latitude TO require much at
tennon.
Tomorrow afternoon the natives" hold their
first great mass meeting prior to the election, and
a great deal OF interest hinges upon it, in conse-
qience Of their singular position, and the great in
ilIence thev may exercise on the Presidential slec-
I on 10 this State. Tney have nominated Congress
men, Senators and Members Of Assembly; and in
cons quence OF the critical position OF the other
two partles II is probable that both will enter into
the field for the purpose of bargaining with the
"na'ives." thereby giving that ticket an extraordl-
nary triumph Tomorrow, as we have said, this
mass meeting takes place, and we may expect a
great dea OF curious move ement-strange speeches--
sngular deveopme nts-and all sorts OF interesting
incidents A meeting of the " natives" was held
in private way at Military Hall on Friday even
ing, at which one OF the speakers, from Phila.
delpha, made a very curious speech on the
subject Of "natveism." The and other
speakers will appear on the native" platform TO.
morrow afternoon.
Amongst the wings several interesting move.
menls also on the carpet. We perceive thnt
the young Henry Clay associations" as they
are called. of "Young AMERICA of the whig
side, intend to hold great macs meeting, TO be
followed by a grand procession on "Wednesday, 1T
which we understand Casssius NJ Clay, now in
this city, will speak, together with Mr.. Webster,
Mr.. Granger, and possibly some other important
orators. These associations i $ Youns America"
composed of nearly two thousand young men
who have never voted before this year. They
have been but recently organized, and their pro.
gress has been rapid to alarm the sold
hunkers" OF the wings, composed OF those clubs
under the Presidency of James N Reynolds. We
understand that Reynolds and his particular clique
have been endeavorng for some time past to pre-
vent anv meeting of the young wings, for
fear. if Mr. Clay should be elected, that they might
find especial favor and deprive the old ciiquss of
their influence. These young whig associations
have reading room at Masonic Hall, where they
have also commodious committee ee-rooms They
intend on Wednesday TO get up tremendous
procession, comprising ten trades. all at work
a great cavalcade of horses and an imposing
number of friends from different parts Of the
country They expect from Albany thou
slnd-from Boston one thousand-fron Provl-
dence one thousand-and floods of people from
New Jersey, and all round about the coun-
try. 1t is to be a demonstration of the
strength, enthusiasm and majesty OF "young Ame-
rica, of the whg stamp, in opposition TO The old
whig clique here who have been mismaDaging
things during the last summer, and almost ruined
the cause OF Henry Clay, The papers in this city,
such the Tribune and F1prsss won't notice this
mighty movement, because they are entirely in the
interest of Reynolds, and the Old rotten and cor
rupt whig clubs. We have no doubt the display
on Wednesday will be tremendous This "young
America" possesses tact, energy and talent, and
means to carry out its purposes.
Another movement Is under advsement amongst
the democrats We understand that they intend
TO hold great "native - democratic meeting,
very soon in the Park, composed of all those ma
tves" formerly democrats, who supported the 'na-
tive" ticket last Spring. This branch OF the " ma
tive party still intend to support their own pres
Dental candidate, Mr.. Polk, and they intend to
come out strong against the movement made by
Miller, the "native +" candidate for Congress in
the Third Ward, and all those who support HIM.
This will be very interesting movement In rela-
on to the Presidency, and the election in this city,
and perhaps some OF the premonitory symptoms Of
this sentiment may be discovered at the "native"
meeting tomorrow afternoon.
SENATORIAL CANDIDATES The rseveral cand-
dates for the Senate in this city are these--frst,
Mr. Sanford, by the democrats-Hiram Ketchum by
the whigs-and George Folsom by the "Na,ives."
The merits of these men altogether different.
Mr.. Sanford is a very amlable man, Of late
Chancellor, but has remarkable brilllancy Of
talent although he would make a good locofoco
when properly trained. Hiram Ketchum is well
known as being one OF the most bigotted, bitter.
and narrow minded politicians that ever existed in
this city; and Heaven knows that is extending The
ground of comparison TO toersble extent. He is
altogether the most unfit candidate which the wings
could put up George Folsom, nominated by the
"Natives," is a very liberal minded person, a fine
scholar. and honest mar-more than any of
the politicians Of the day. He would be an honor
TO the Senate of the State; and we trust that the
liberal portion of the wings and OF every other
party, will take TINS into consideration and abandon
such narrow minded, vinegar cruet sort OF man
as Hiram Ketchum.
SMALL PorATo MOVEMENTS - Thurlow Weed is
very busy, we understand, endeavoring 10 fleet
a union between the abolltionlsts aud the wings
IN the interior Of the State, so as 10 strengthen the
Clay electoral ticket Thurlow can accomplish
this IN no other way than that which we have for
merly pointed out TO him, and that is by abandon.
ing IN every abolition county the whig ticket, from
top TO bottom, and adopting the abolition candi-
dates BY this means Thurlow may get fifteen
thousand votes tor MIR Clay. Another operation
is also on loot by Thurlow aud Greeley-that is, 10
gain over the Irish repeaers through the agency
oi Governor Seward. IL seems they have EN-.
ployed an lrishman by the name OF Nesgle 10 eec-
tloneer through the Stale for The purpose of catch
Ing his counirymen. The best way TO accomplish
that would be TO persuade The Irish that The WIN
electoral ticket means to give It's votes for Daui.
O'Connell for the Presidency, There then nigh
be some chance. As II is-bah
