NKw DIVISION OF PARTIES The great issues
which have been cast into the political cauldron du-
ring the past few years, bid fair to act like some
chemical agent, and precipltse to the bottom that
which has heretofore predominated In ~,
great mass of the who in 40 supported Har-
rison, voted for Polk, while many who had stuck to
Van Buren, 10 the last, indisposed with the Texas
agitation, and too tlmid for bold movements sided
with the conservative principle, as exemplifed in
It's embodiment, Clay.
We'll, the Polk party succeeded-they elected
their President majority OF the United States
Senate and majority of the House OF Represen-
tatives. The President has administered the gov
eminent ia manner satisfactory to all moderate,
sound-thinking, no-party men, but his originally
warmest supporters are now breaking up rapidly
into factions. The Southern Polk-men 70 for a
:" mastery inactivity" on The Oregon question
the Western Polk-men 20 for "a 40, and no com
promise but at the lannon's mouth"-while the
Northern Pok-men 70 tor 40, even if war be ne
cessafy, and a. much more as can be peacefully
cured ou o. the conflict which is thus gong on
among the vanous sections, new party, or perhaps
new partee' must inevitably spring. However the
quesuoA may De decided, all cannot and will not be
pleased.
The wings are equally distracted on this question
one section of their phaanx is somewha, disposed TO
go war for % deg 40 min, while the other would
rather lose the whole than fire gun.
No matter how the question 10 decided, as between
the two nations, we must have breaking-up, and a
new organization Of parties. There are numbers Of
dissatisfied men of influence in each OF the present
parties who would gladly participate in such move
ment, and there two three OF the great minds
OF ths nation, in the Senate and esewslke who are
