of preparation for the coming contest in November
Neither the Locofoco nor the Wing party will rally
as heretofore. The former, however, will be less
divided than the latter. Every new ism is inuri-

the Locofocos are. Many of our friends consider

may be more promising than in this city, but
not much There we have anti-rent and abolition.
Here no rally can be made on either of these SUBJ
jects 1t is probable however that in the country,
as well as in the city, artful and designing men win
endeavor to mingle the temperance cause with the
political questions of the day. These are they who
seek selfaggrandizement who hope thus to worm
themselves into Office, reckless heart of the
Of temperance.
In this city, the Old Hunkers'' and the " Barn
Burners are violently opposed to each other; but
they will not divide. There will be much grumb-
ling and discomfort. But the spoils" will keep
them together and render their triumph certain.
The Wings and the Native Americans will de-
feat each other. Separately, they must be beaten
United, they would succeed. There is logged
obstinacy in both these parties which precludes,
under existing circumstances the possibility of their
acting in concert How long such counsel will pre-
vail with them is uncertain, but, long it does
whether for one or for seven years, SO long they
will be defeated. In this city there will be four
tickets for-the Assembly, judging from present APP
pearances possibly more, and they will stand, it
respects the number of votes each will receive, in
the following order:
First. Locolocos. Second Native Americans
Third. Wings. Fourth. Temperance.
Your somewhat elaborate and favorable notice of
the Farmers Library, conducted here by Mr.
SKINNER, has, see, been repubshed entire by one
of our daily papers. 1t will doubtless be gratifying
to the numerous friends Of that gentleman to know,
as happen to do, that he is highly esteemed here,
and that his situation and employment are far more
pleasant and congenial to him than they have ever
been. His character, and the useful tendency of
his labors, appear to be duly appreciated. This
notice | have considered due to man who has
been, for nearly thirty years. devoting the energies
OF his mind untiringly to one great interest of the
country-an interest which equally concerns all
parties and leans to none.

The sold H,mkers," as they are styled, appear
to take great interest in of the measures which
it is understood will receive the special attention of
the President, In his communication to Congress on
the opening Of the approaching session. among

was, and believe continues to be, favoriie pro-
the power to re-enact the law establishing it, but
they have not the power to render it practicable.
| The Hon. STEPHEN ALLEN, late Subtreasurer, could
give Secretary WALKER some information on the
subject.
If specie should be demanded in payment of all
dues to the Government, it would be impossible to
count it. How did Mr.. ALLEN meet the case
| Why he was compelled to take bank checks, paya-
BILE in specie, and certified by the banks on which
they were drawn to be good for specie, and then
they were received as specie. Now, how much
better were these checks than bank notes II is
not my intention to trouble you with an argument
against the proposed measure. The objections to
| it are numerous and irresistible. Anxious as Mr..
VAN buren, and his followers are for the adoption
of the Subtreasury system, am of opinion that Mr.
WALKER is not in favor of 1t, or, if favorable that
he entertains doubts of its success.
| Mr. WALKER, very properly, is pursuing the
course he would pursue if no such measure was
contemplated by the Executive. He has made ar
rangemens with all deposite banks to give security
to the amount of the deposite with them. The
banks in this city required to give United States
stock, or stock of the State of New York. The
banks out of this State deposite security, United
States stock. All his arrangements having refer
ence to this subject bear the aspect of permanent,
and not temporary or contingent arrangements. If
my opinion should prove to be well founded, as
think 1t will, what Will Mrs. Grundy say TO thaty'
The Buffalo Commercial says: "We learn from
the Kingston (Canada) Chronicle that warlike pre-
paratons, on large scale, are being made at that
point. The front of the splendid town hall is to
be laid open to the lake, by the pulling down of
Messrs. Mcpherson and CRANE's store-houses and
the erection of heavy battery. The shoal in
front is to be secured by large tower, which will
be Of great utility in naval point Of view, as
mark for the harbor. 1t is also proposed to erect
large tower at Stewards Point, and strengthen the
works at Fort Henry"
1t was understood that motion would be made
to-day, in the Court Of Chancery, to remove the
