10 the interior OF the State and this city We are nov

be presented at Tammany Hall for the appreciation
OF the people. The Wing party, without difficulty
selected and have some time since published tn
names OF their candidates in the journals of the city
With such statement of facts before the com
muniiy, the conclusion would seem to be irresisti
bic that the Wings must succeed in electing thei
ticket. Yet the conclusion would be erroneous
We shall be defeated, and defeated by Wings. TIL
Native American party have enlisted in its rank
some three or four thousand sound Wigs as ar
to be found in country They have sufiere,
SO much by fraudulent foreign voters, that veril,
believe they never can be reconciled until some
thing is DONE either by registry act or otherwise
TO prevent aLen votes from controlling our elections
As to the ridiculous and visionary notions which
the Native party are attempting to propagate. the,
are of no avail, and would not keep the party toge

can now be made, and defeat must follow. Whe

This detail is given that our friends at distance

In the country our prospects certainly better
but, even there, cannot indulge in the same san
guine hopes which many intelligent Wings enter
tain. Some think we to be benefited by anti

The Eastern (Portland) Argus says, (" A letter,
about as big quarter OF dollar, went through
: the Portland post Office yesterday, directed 10
President Polk, White House, Washington, in

out for an explosion

Well, the mountain in labor has brought forth
mouse" After severe and long-contnued
struggle the Locofoco party have agreed, in com
mittee, upon Assembly ticket and Register for
this city. The next step, . according TO anciept
usage will be to ratlfy and confirm this nominal
ton by general meeting at Tammanv Hall Ii
will then be what is termed the regular ticket,
and TO the support of which all orthodox self-s,yied
Democrats are solemnly pledged. Whether por-
non of the defeated and discontinued will or will
not deem 1t expedent TO oppose any Of the candi-
dates at the Tanmany Hall meeting, am not adj
yised but suppose not, the act would be Sc
ditio11, if not treason against the party
In the nomination of the Assembly ticket the
g Old Hunkers" claim, and believe correctly,
triumph. They have certainly majority of the
whole ncket, while the " Barnburners' and the
" Young Democracy divide the balance | offei
you no opinion 10 the character of the gentlemen
nominated, except TO remark that they are generally
of the most humble order in point of intellect. A
Locoioco said TO ne this morning Il the wors
ticket ever nominated in this city by any party
But, while the g Old Hunkers'' have triumphec
in the selection of the Assembly ticket, thew have
been defeated in the nomination of Register the
only Office OF emolument. The candidate from
. Hunkerdom" was a Mr.. WEsrERvELT, and he, il
was confidently believed and asserted, would be de-
signated. But the Custom-house, or rather, Mr..
BoGARDUs, the Assistant Collector, determined that
il should be otherwise, and so the Convention deci-
ded. The fortunate upon whom the choice
fell was Mr.. OseooD, native of this city.
OF Mr. OS-good know nothing but he is said
TO be worthy young man, and duiful child, hav-
ing contributed afectionatey to the comfort and
support Of his mother. He is the grandson of
SAMUEL OsGooD, a Revolutionary Wing. and sub
sequenty naval officer of the port of New York
appointed by Mr.. JEFFERSON, | think in the wear
1902. While give you this "reminiscences NAV
as well give you another of more recent date Some
six or eight years ago Mr.. OsGoop was candidate
for Office before the Locofoco committee and was
defeated whereupon he raised the standard of re-
bellion, and presented himself before The people as
stump candidate" He was defeated and with
him the party The division which he produced, i
said at the time, secured Wing triumph
Whether this incident will be forgotten, be per
mitted to pass unnoticed at the approaching cleo
ton, time will develop.
