the ms OF the times and which no earthly power can
avert He is doomed Gian aud tins is thrown ont ~
feeler to raise the prospects OF Mr. Clay IN the North
east with those who opposed 10 annexation; but
lie, il also no 10 the people OF the South and West
who are united heart and soul upon this great ques
ton of national policy, that they may know the
feelings and sentiments of Mr. Clay and his friends
upon q question OF such magnitude to the whole
country. This is one of patriotism, md upon
which depends the perpttuity OF our free instu-

New York, March %
Yourselves your readers, may be pleased to have
line from the Commercial Metropolis OF the New World
even though il might happen nothing very astounding
be related. Political parties getting full of business
and the coming contest for Mayor, bids fair 10 be
warm one. Two parties have heretofore made din
enough but this Spring we blessed with three, viz
The Simon Pure Wings, who have nominated for their
-t.I..
distrct-The native Americans who have put James
Harper widely known at least among literary people,
as one of the largest publishers Of books in the United
States, if not the most extensive in the woodland "as
though not least" the real Democracy, who have no.
minated Jonathan j. Coddngton our former Postmaster
and gentleman possessing every requisite for 50 i'm
portan an office which is than be Justly said
of the "Satyes' candidate, and more than will be &C.
ncray allowed OF the Wing candidate. As respects
the result of this triangular contest, each party, with
more or less emphasis proclaim they will carry the
day. My own opinion is, that no one knows any thing
about it-but, will venture guess, that Coddnston
will beat the native candidate least 900 votes and
the Wings about as many more The Common Council
is more doubtful-tha is, the Natives and Wings togc
Their may have majority, but even that is no-wise
tain.
How 60 things in Virginia will the Whies carry
The Legislature? or shall we hold t' | am well aware
that with the popular vote much against them, they
may still manage TO get The House but | trust they
will not do that much You will notice in the;
papers q feeble shout over our local elections this

most sanguine of them do not pretend to claim the
State for their They will, however, bet Mr. Van
Buren, wont get 5000 majority terrible spunk ,his
However, they would lose II, have no doubt, at hat
The fact is, Mr. Clay was, and never will be- pc
pular with the masses and, although personally
~ clever warm hearted man, his National Bank and
protective Tariff must sink him. The two great par
ties in this country be described in very few
words: the in favor of associated wealth. and Of
giving it all the influence it exercise the other
party opposed this they believe that the inherent,
rights of man should be the first care of statesman
1t is easy see how this contest will terminae-par-
cuarly when presented in lis true coors it will be
this Fall. Yours, &C., S.
