DEAR SIR,-
1t has been matter of wonderment with me for
a length of time, why you do not establish a regu
lar and permanent correspondent in this city, the
great headquarters of political intrigue and nteli-
gence The immense circulation of the Herald IN
this CITY and vicinity, together with the daily in
crease of its anxious readers, will in my opinion
amply repay you for the expense of sending some
competent person here, who, during the approach
ing season, can devote an occasional hour IN the
exercise of his pen upon matters and occurrences
appertaining to this locality. Will Mr. Bennett be-
stow thought uponit
The leading politicians here, in perfect
quandary: Neither party appear prepared for ac-
ton in relation to State matters Previous to the
recent Convention at Baumore the Wings felt
sure Of the State and Nation. They evidently
as much disappointed at the defeat of Van Buren,
as the Locos are. They now compelled to
countermand orders, and conduct the Presidential
engagement upon different plans from which they
had anticipated All their concerted movements
shape OF a " three-cock'd hat" for the Southern
Locos have " used him up'' to charm, themselves.
He will now IN fact, remain IN "dignited retire
| ment."
II is now pretty generally conceded that the
State of New York must decide the Presidential
question land in casting about for candidates for
Governor, both parties are canvassing the whole
ground in search of the men who may be consider
ed thu, strongest, or in modern parancee the most
"avaase" Nei'hsr Party are united upon any
quiesce in the nomination of Mr.. Fillmore, as die.
taed to them by Thurlow Weed, "the best OF
men.' But large portion of the higher order
prefer Mark Sibley Daniel Cady, Samuel Stevens,
Gulian G. verplanck, or Nathaniel p Tallmadge,
whilst others of more Native American" dspo-
sition, insist upon a candidate upon whom they can
rally with more enthusiasm, and for whom they
successfully employed in ls4O They want either
Willis Hall, A. b. Dickinson Morris Franklin,
Thurow Weed, Ito catch the Irish y John A. Col

with the Wings upon Mr. Bradish, for Governor
but they refuse to go the Clay electoral ticket; al
eging that they cannot support a man who is the
very impersonalion OF both slavery and duellihg-
If they adhere to this determination, they will man
ifest more consistency than they ever before ex-
hibited and will prove to the great body Of the
people that their professions and pretensions are
pure and patriotic. The coming election will test
their sincerity more than any other, and by adher
ing to Blrney, will obtain foothold in the atfec
tons of the people, which will remain indellble
But should either Clay or Polk receive their sup
port, the dissolution Of their organization will be
inevitable.
Well, the democrats or locos, are in no better
condition Indeed, from the bitter, angry, sarcas
tic, quarrelsome conduct of both the Argus and
Atlas, it is evident that there is deep seated ma

the after three months service in that capa
city, heretofore. And the Office holders, the little
knot of Tylerites, identified as they are, with the
Observer, Rochester Duly advertiser, Troy Budget
Cayuga Patriot, &c &c. are "movlng heaven
and earth" in favor of Bouck; At present. 1t is
difficult TO conjecture as to the result: have
heare- il intimated that Bouck will initiate Van
Buren,, and authorize the withdrawal OF his name
when it is discovered in convention, that the per
tinacous adherence to it, may distract the party
in other words he will be willing to &c sacrifice"
himself, rather than that the party should be sacri
feed through him. This would be, indeed, mag
nanimous-an act of self immoation equal only
to that recently committed al Baltimore. hearth
Iy commend the governor for the intmatlon but
il is really doubtful whether Croswe will allow
his agricultural excellency TO commit such an ac
OF political suicide, because the law term of his
appointment as state printer vii! be drawing to a
close a year or two, and with hum that question
absorbs all others in the coming election.
The attempt made some three months since to
remove Mr. Batteman, our worthy sheriff, from
Office has proved abOrve. The complaints against
him, were made by two three everlasting office
seekers, pretended wings Of his own party, whose
only reason for throwing the matter before the go
vernon, rs every body knows, was their rejection
as sherff's deputies. Governor Bouck acted wisely
and manly in dlscharging the complaint. Every
disnterested man OF all parties, highly commend
him Tor 1t.
Wing ranks, which, If not speedily extlngulshed,
will excite a disastrous blaze II Is well known
that the Wings have fellow-feeling with the Ma
tive Americans. Many OF the papers have boldly
conceded with the Natives in many of their a.
sures, and particularly with them in relation to the
Naturalization laws. few days since, the DAILY
Aduntiser, Wing paper in this city, avowed itself
in favor OF the twenty-one year probation. Thur
low Weed Immediately caught up the paragraph,
denouncing the proposition with real anti-masonic
vengeance, and in nearly column OF matter, eulo-
gised the Catholic Irish in the most exalted man
ner. The names of Bishop Hughes, and other
Irish citizens, in connexion with the School
question, formed the ground work OF his remarks
Weed adheres to the side of the Catholics with a
wonderful tenacity. And sas nne-tenths 4of the
Wing party who make any pretenslons at all to
religion, decided PIoestans, It is evident that
they will not support man who openly adyo-
Gates the Catholic interests as Weed does. He
will either be compelled to abandon his position as
editor of the Journal, or fully and unequlvocally
renounce his Catholic preferences Something
must be done, too, before the pending political
contest RACES more spiriedly.
The democrats held mass city meeting at the
Capitol on Thursday evening, intended as re,
Spouse TO the national nominations. II happened
very singularly, that Mr.. II. X Smith, state de-
legae to the Baltimore Convention was IN the
city. He addressed the meeting but instead OF
discoursing concerning Polk and Dallas, he deli
vered touching elegy upon the late (politicaD Mr..
Van Buren, Butler, the chief mourner at Baltimore,
came in for full share of praise and patriotic
devotion, in 80 generously yielding his patron for
the good OF the party. 03-It has since been re-
marked among the sly ones, that Butler must be
/ taken UP for Governor, TO counteract the RELIGIOUS
