posit'oa IS generating against Mr.. Folks admins
tfation within the bosom of his own party We
nave already seen the Southern section of the de
nocracy, whose Magnus Apollo is John c. Calhoun
stand aloof from all connexion with Mr. Folks ad-
mnlstratlon, refusing even some of the highest off
| ces offered to them, such as the English mission
IN the other hand, great dissatisfaction has been
produced amongst the Northern section, or the
| "nght-Van Buren, democracy, on account of some
| appointments made, az well as appointments
not made There can be no doubt from the
information before us that Mr. Van Buren, and all
ms Northern friends, gradually assuming neu-
tral position with regard to Mr.. Polk, and are de-
termned not to commit themselves in favor of his
administration for some time to come. There has
oeen great discomfort with the appointment of the
new Collector amongst this section OF the Democra-
TIC party ,ahough thas not been so loudly expressed
as IN the case of the appointment of Louis Nc Lane
The causes of this singular exhibition of discon-
tent and opposition from the two sections of
the Democracy, toward Mr.. Polk, may be found
In the nature of the principles on which he
assumed the government, and on which he
has endeavored to conduct his administration He
commenced his career with the declaration that he
would favor no great clique of the democracy But
In carrying out this principle he has offended the
leading efques of his party, and given out the idea
that ne intended to form particular clique of his
own-a Folk clique, to support his administration in
his own way. If things go on as they have been
proceeding, he will narrow down the democratic
party to mere fragmentary support of his admins
tration, leaving vast quantity and wide field of dis
content IN the various ciiques that have heretofore
governed the party throughout the country. 1t is an
even question in our mind, whether Mr. Folks adj
minstration will be popular-win cement the ele-
ments OF the democratic party or terminate as Mr.
Tyler's ended. We are very much disposed to
think that the graspng cques of the democracy are
going to do great deal Of injustice to Mr.. Polk,
and that ne will require good deal of assistance
before two years are over Let him be fully tried
before he is condemned, or wholly approved.
The ACKNOWLEDGMENT for the succession
to the empire are in progress in all directions We
see that General Scott is talked of in several Jour-
nails throughout the country in such a way as con-
meets HIM with the succession after Mr. Polk We
have no doubt that Mr.. Van Buren, may be consi-
dered as still somewhat in the field of hope and ex
pectatlon His recent peregrinations in Long Island
and some parts Of New England, among his old
friends and supporters, well his appearance in
The procession in honor Of Andrew Jackson, indi-
cate that he is yet amongst those that hope and oc
cupy the field of &C ton, as fat, happy and ex-
pectant as on any former occasion. The policy Of
MIR. Van Buren, is to stand still as he did after the
defeat Of Crawford, and wait for the movements of
the waters, ready 10 take advantage Of all events
adverse to his competitors. General Scott, we ra-
Their think, is more hdgety, and shows his hand a
little too much. The other candidates we shall no.
tice, and their movements, they poke their heads
| up above the waters of oblivion.
I The APPROACHING EPISCOPAL. CONVENTIONS
Next month the Convention OF the Episcopal church
will meet in this city for the purpose OF considering
the condition OF the Epscopate, and settling the
| important question whether church can exist with
out Bishop There Is great deal of interest felt
In this NATTER in consequence of the peculiar posi-
ton IN which the Bishop has been placed by the
suit of the recent trial in this city. The party at
ticed TO the Bishop consider that he is in reality
jre ct dc facto Bishop and the probability thai
| he Will IN, the.approachng Convention, undertake 10
preside in that body in that capacity. This will, of
course, produce great deal of irritation on the OPP
poslte side, and much general excitement will be
| produced. Some are almost declaring in advance
that they will vacate their seats, and back out from
the Convention altogether, If the Bishop attempt to
preside. Now, in relation to this point, the Bishop,
since the trial, has been very penlten and has pro-
| badly received forgiveness for all his sins. He
may now, indeed-we would in the judgment of cha
| rlty believe-be considered quite a reformed man.
In this view, therefore, of his qualifications, he is
now IN much better frame Of mind to preside over
the Convention than for many years before, when
ne was covered with his sins, although his delin-
quencies were known only in the private circle OF
the Episcopal clergy. The meeting of this Ccnven-
ton, at all events, will be quite event In the rel-
gious history of this State.
CURIOUS ExHIBITIoN.-MoDEL OF New HAVEN.
| There has just been quite an extraordinary
piece of work completed at New Haven, which
we think will prove to the highest degree interest
ing to citizens generally, and we understand that
the propretors intend shortly exhibiting it here in
this city 1t is complete model of the city of New
Haven. in carved wood, representing every object
in an area of territory 2 by 81 miles, including
streets, lanes public buildings, houses, oubuildngs,
trees wharves, shipping, steamboats,. &c. Nc. This
model has been in course of progress for more than
year, and no expense has been spared to render 1t
splendid piece OF mechanism more than thirty
individuals have been employed in its construction,
among whom are some of the most distinguished
artists ofthat city and New York. The Governor
Of the State, the Mayor of New Haven, and more
than twenty of the most distinguished citizens Of
that town, have given fattering testimonials in
favor of the beauty and accuracy of the representa-
ton. From the various notices of the press-from
those who have had private view Of this extraor-
binary piece OF ingenuity, led to believe that
the exhibition, when opened in this city, cannot fail
TO draw crowds to witness it,
| FRENCH OPERAs.-Wc understand the French
Company have changed their nights Of Vaudeville
and that they will play every Thursday night in this
kind of performance instead Of Saturday. The per-
Torrance of tonight is composed of two excellent
paudeulies, Dieu vous benisse and LIE Vicomte d
L'Etoierer; nothing more laughabe than those two
