OFFICE or REGISTER OF THIS Cry The poliii'
cal cauldron containing this office, mas already be-
gun bubble bubble, toll and trouble, and the am
bilious aspirants may be found midnight conclave,
preparing elements 10 secure their nomination by
the two great parties of the day The candidates
among the democracy are tar more numerous than
in the wing ranks, owing TO the fact that success
with them is considered more certain Among the
prominent IN the ranks of the former stands Henry
Arcularius, who has long been employed in one of
/ the prominent clerkshps OF the office under the
present popular incumbent Next on the list stands
Samuel Ossood, formerly County Clerk Then
John J. Westevelt, late Deputy Sheriff, and present
Assistant Alderman of the Sixteenth Ward also
Alderman Seaman, of the Sixteenth Ward; George
5 Mann, Thomas Connor, of the Seventeenth ;
Alderman Briggs, present Deputy Surveyor !;
ex-Alderman Pentz, of the Fourth Ward !;
ex-Alderman Emmans OF the Sixth, and Alderman
Charlck OF the First Arcularius will receive the
almest undivided support Of the ardent and really
honest "Young Democracy" and thus secure fair
portion OF the delegates appointed to make the nom
nation. Osgood will also obtain portion OF this
class, but will rely mainly upon the secret manguv
ring of certain political wire pullers who found
assembled in secret caucus at places well known 10
those who prowl through our city at the midnight
hour in search of heads and tails of the numerous
ciiques to be found in every ward Westervelt will
depend mainly for support on Those who felt
aggrieved his defeat in the nomination for sheriff,
three years SINCE and also TO the influence 10 be
ercised by portion Of the "New Police of the Six
eenth ward, who received their appointments
through his hands. Alderman Seaman will exert
himself but lit.le his strength will probably be
ercised in favor of Westervelt. George $. Mann and
Thomas Conner will stand back, ready for the
chances of non-agreement on any other can
didate Alderman Briggs will moi be candidate,
unless he whdraws from his present position as De-
putty Surveyor. Should he be prompted to do this,
and receive the secret support OF sold lronsides"
and his friends, his stock will stand high in Tam
many Ex-Aderman Pentz will carry the Fourth
ward and there stop progress, while Alderman En-
mans will never be able TO secure the Sixth, unless
the I" New Police of that ward with their masters,
sanction the act. He will bring ohis aid Alderman
Charlck of the First ward who has concluded not
again appear before the people for their sufages,
unless selected tor Mayor of the city Charlick is
already active in the field, and not only extends his
political ramifcatons throughout the city, but
unto Hoboken and parts adjacent thereto The
office of Register for the three years, is, probably
worth the sum Of Sl5,OOO and such is the political
rascaiy OF the friends of some of the candidates
that open bids, of from to two thousand dollars,
have been offered within few days to any man,
or body of men, who would secure the nomination
10 candidate to be named on the closing Of the in
famous contract The people must take this matter
INTO their own hands at once, and keep watchful
eye upon the movements of the various newly APP
pointed 'sPolice Officers who have been selected
by corrupt Aldermen, to serve their own selfish
motives in the wards from which they have been
elected Look outlook out
THE BRITISH REVIEWERS ON THE OREGON CUES
rioN.-The British Quarterly Reviewers of all sizes,
have been following up the discussion on the Ore
gon question: commenced ny Sir Robert Peel and
the newspaper press some months ago They ge-
nerally assume the same ground adopted by Sir
Robert Peel, contending for a certain ndefinabe
right to the Oregon territory, which they find it
somewhat difficult to explain or present in any
tangible and Ineligible form :.
One view taken by these reviewers is very
rous and amusing, and that is they assume
axiom that this country must necessitas be con-
tent with any arrangement which Great Britain may
choose to make in its infinite charity ana unerrng
Justice because the United States are not in con-
ditlon to go TO with England, because we have
neither navies, nor guns, nor men, nor POWDER nor
money, nor anything else able TO cope with the Bri-
tlsh. 1t may be that we have not the means to go
into action OF warke character as rapidly as the
British, but we have certain materials of warfare
which can be employed at once, and prove very
efficient instruments OF assault and defence-and
these materials we find In our cotton. We can sus-
pend the supply OF cotton to the British manufac-
turers and where would be their boasted ability to
90 10 war with us with revolution in the very CEN
tre OF their empire!
There is danger to be apprehended from the
British government, on the score of war. Should
we insist every inch of the Oregon territory they
dare not 60 to war with the United States. We can
originate terrible revolution in that country in less
than six months, by simply Withholding our cotton
exports alone. Indeed the whole frame of the Bri-
tsh empire is in the hands of the United States, and
they can preserve it Tor years, whenever the time
demands it, crush it like rotten building, by the
mere force of commercial legislation, affecting the
exports of this country to Great Britain
Tim Police COURTS AND THE NEWSPAPER
PREss.-We have observed with not little indg.
nant regret the course of the municipal courts OF
Baltimore, in reference TO portion of the newspaper
| press of that city, which, under sense of public
duty, denounced the action of those courts in "a re-
cent case The conduct of those courts appears
10 have originated in an entire misconception Of
their powers, the spirit Of the and the rights and
duties OF the public press. 1t feature in the adj
mlnis:rstlon of the inferior courts of justice in this
country which strikes every intelligent observer
with surprise, that the most tyrannica arbitrary and
overbearng conduct on the part of police authori-
ties is tolerated here whilst in England, country
under monarchical rule, such pranks if perperaed
| by persons clothed with "brief authority" would
be visited by immediats and crushing rebuke. In
London, such conduct as that recently exhibited by
the police OF Baltimore and often in this city.
