OF the two first we have hitherto spoken.

VI tue TWO Hrst we nave nltneGtO spoken
Of Silas Wright, it may be said that his chances
were much greater before the late election than
now. There is no sort of doubt that Mr.. Wright
possesses talent. 1t is most unfortunate for him
that he allied with the faction known
by the name of the ALBANY Regency" That
faction now hangs like milestone round his neck.
Could he escape from its influence, his prospects
would perhaps be far better than at present.
John M. Clayton il man of talent and would
run we'll for the Vice Presidency. We do not
think there is any serious idea of running him for
the Presidency.
Mr. Cahouns claims of no ordinary charac-
ter. He has been now more than twenty years
before the people, and is withal a man of power
full intellect and great purity of character. He
has many friends who will doubtless make hard
push TO secure his election
Sam Houston's chances are by no means to be
overlooked He has great many warm friends,
and the romantic character Of his life throws
good deal of interest around his name. He is a
different man from the Sam Houston Of twenty
years ago, and his popularity in some sections OF
the country is unbounded. He would command
strong vote in Tennessee, CT which he was once
the Governor; and the war party all over the
country, RENE mberng his conduct at San Jacin-
to, would give him strong support.
We need scarcely say that Henry Clay
is still looked to by large portion of
the wing party, as an available candidate.
The old man still possesses the affections of the
progressive portion of the whigs and should he
not decline a nomination, would in all probability
distance all competitors Of his own party. But it
is rumored that he will decline in favor of Mr..
Crittenden, of Kentucky, than whom there is not
n more pure, able, or honest wing in the Union.
Mr.. Crttenden has intellect of the highest order,
and though a strong party man, he is not narrow
minded. He would command strong vote.
OF Mr.. McLane we have spoken in former
article.
General Scott is still the candidate of a section
OF the party He once stood very fair with the
people, but his letters at the commencement of
the present war, damaged him considerably in
the estimation of his fellow citizens. We fear
his prospects are at present gloomy, but he may
yet retrieve his lost ground, and make atonement
for his error.
Thus, it will be seen there are already. eleven
candidates for the next Presidency. They GER
tanly cannot all reach the contamination of their
wishes, and we, therefore, wish the best man
success. 1t may happen that the peoples choice
are, doubtless, others who will become prominen,
in the list of candidates, before the next conven-
ventions of both parties. The maneuvring at the
next session OF Congress, will fully develope the
designs of both parties, and will serve to indicate
those who stand the best chances OF success.

DIsAeREEABLE WEATHER-DETENTIoN OF YES
Sells, &c.-During the last few weeks we have
had, with very few short intervals of sunshine,
the longest spell of disagreeable weather we haye
been subjected to since the summer of 1886
and if we can place any confidence in the Alma.
macs, we are yet to have about week more of it.
Since the commencement OF this weather,
upwards OF seventy square rugged vessels have
cleared from this port, about fifty of them destined
for Europe, loaded with flour, grain, &c, (and
one carrying out three hundred barrels OF
onons,) scarcely one of which has yet left our
bay, but are waiting for change of weather
About forty more, schooners and soops for Boston
and other Eastern ports, at anchor in the in
side passage, near Harris Island, and at present
we have only two Boston packets in port.
These vessels will all sail as soon as they get
sir wind, when those for Europe will have q
grand race across the Atlantic. The arrival o
these ships in Europe will be hailed with deligh
by the starving population, and as they carry GU
food to preserve so many lives, we would recon-
mend the people Of England, Ireland, and France
TO hold grand national thanksgiving day as soon
AS they enter their ports.
