Mr. Pickens of South Carolina, will, probably,
succeed Mr.. King at the French court.
These appointments such as, we have
no doubt, will give satisfaction throughout
the country. They about as good appoint
ments, under the circumstances, as probably
could be made. or Mr.. Bancrofts mission TO
England we may say, that il will doubtless afford
him facilities for completing and perfecting his
history of the United States; and, indeed, in this
point of view alone, without taking into account
his other prospective services, the appointment
will redound to the interest of the nation.
MOVEMENTS OF THE PARrIKs-PeLIrIcAL Con-
vENTIoNs.-From the 18th of this month to the
18th OF next, the wire pullers of all parties and
sections of parties will be hard at work, securing
the nomination of their favorites. No less than
nine conventions will meet during that time in
this State and city.
What renders the results of the different con-
ventons this year more than usually int srestng,
is the fact that there is number of candidates in
each party aspiring to the gubernatorial chair,
and that it will be pretty difficult to select any one
man in each who will poll thtwholc vote of the
party.
There are three prominent candidates of the
wing party, John Young, Willard Fillmore, Ira
Harris, each of whom has powerful friends, and
each of whom is opposed by no inconsiderable
portion of the party. The wings are endeavorng
to form coalition with the abolitionlsts, natives,
anti renters and national reformers. Should they
be successful in forming this coalition, they have
prospect of winning the race. Ira Harris is a
wing and an anti-renter, and if he be taken up
there is a strong probability OF the success of the
lot La Of baP Il
Scott wings, and this portion of the party are so
logged and determined, and averse to all ''pro-
gression' that neither Young nor Harris will OBJ
tain their warm support. But should the wings
manage their cards well, they will stand fair
chance Of electing their ticket.
The democracy fast making up the many
little quarrels that have divided the party for the
last year. The tact they display in managing their
affairs, and healing their difficulties on the eve
of a struggle with the common enemy, is extraor-
binary, and is worthy of imitation by the
wings. They will fight like cats and dogs the
year round, but on the of an election, they are
as brothers. They will probably take up Sas
Wright, and if they do, nothing less than a COM
binaton of wings, natives, abolitionists, and ma
tional reiormers, can beat him. Silas Wright is
not as popular as he was two years ago, but still
there is sufficient strength and unanimity in the
party to elect him.
For our own part we had entertained the idea
of putting up Robert H. Morris, our present post
master, for the Office, thinking that thereby we
would be greatly benefited, not so much by the
change in the office of governor, in that OF post
master but on further consideration, our patriotic
feelings obtained the mastery. We determined to
still endure the mismanagement ofthe post office,
which is matter confined to ourselves and our
subscribers, rather than infict on the two millions
and half of people of this State, the misfortune
of beng governed by man who would no sooner
get into office, than he would be looking after
something else. We concluded, from sad expe-
rience, that he never.woud be content with one
office at time, and we periodically and devoted
ly chose rather to be ourselves annoyed and in
convenienced by his msmanagement of the post
office, than that the interests of the State should
suffer We trust our devotion will be duly ap-
preclated. We verify believe, that if Mr. Morris
were elected President of the United States, he
would desire to have, in addition, the governor
ship of Liberia.
The interests that will be represented at the
approaching conventions, both of this city and
State, are of the highest importance. The ma
tives are feeling about for popular candidate for
governor, but if they run an indie pendent ticket
they will make no sort of show. If they wish
for success let them coaesce with the wings
If the wings desire success, let them coalesce
with the natives, abolitionists, and ant-renters-
If the democrats desire success, let them keep to-
gether, unite their forces, and march in solid
column, and show their huge paws and ragged
breaches in all parts of the State.
Let our advice be adopted by each party, and
we will venture to say, that at least, some one of
them will be victorious.
