The Condition OF Party Politics In this
State-Anticlpated Fun.

AS the election approaches, the situation OF
parties in this State becomes more and more
complicated. II will, probably, present more
comical features on the whole, than any election
that has taken place for number of years.
A portion Of the wing. have expressed their
determination not to support John Young for
Governor. Several of the wing presses have
taken down his name from the head Of their
columns, and are now denouncing him as being
leagued with ant-rentism, and other heterodox
theories It's now uncertain whether this dis.
affected portion OF the wings will throw away
their votes on Fillmore, or vote for Ogden Ed
wards, the candidate of the natives
The democrats, on the other hand, although
good deal of unanimity prevails amongst them,
not altogether harmonious portion OF
them accuse Silas Wright Of leaning to abolition
doctrines, and they grumble loudly against him
in consequence. But this section of the party is
not near so formidable in numbers or influence
as the portion Of the wings opposed to John
Young.
The natives are greatly elated i'll view Of the
unlooked-for success OF their party in Phiadel-
phia. They are working vigorously to secure the
like results in this city. How far they will be
cessful time will show.
Ii is as yet uncertain into which scale the abol-
tioni.tS will throw the petty weight of their influ-
ence. According to present appearances, the
democrats seem TO count upon their aid with the
bes, prospects of gaining it; but the abolitonists
slippery, and their aid, at best, is not very de-
sirsble. II will do more harm than good to any
party.
The anti-renters sure to 60 for the wings
at all events, for the WING candidate for Governor
AS parties are at present mixed up, we may
look for very exciting time We, with our ac-
customed philosophy, wait calmly the course of
events, prepared to note down carefully every
thing that occurs, for the amusement and edifca-
ton of our readers all over the land. There will
be rich scenes during the election, all Of which
will be reproduced in our columns for the benefit
of the aforesaid readers, in the most graphic and
artistic manner.
the dirty politics of the demagogues now have
full sway.

COTTON MISUNDERSTANDING BRoKERs.-In
our remarks in relation to some anonymous let
tiers which have appeared from time to time in
the Savannah Republican,, we omitted to state, at
tho instance of the gentleman so grossly alluded
to, in the letter dated Sept. 23d, that the whole
article, in all its material points, and in all its al
lusons, is totally and wholly false and untrue;
and that the same is gross and malignant libel.
We are well aware that such statement is
necessary in this city, to those who are CONVEX
SAINT with the cotton trade and the mode of nego-
tiating SIDES; but when those interested in other
cities have been imposed upon by false and anony-
nous statements, it is proper their minds should
be disabused.
