POLITICAL MOVEMENTS OF THE DgMooRArs.-
The annual election for the general committees
Of the democratic party takes place in thi CITY
on Thursday. This event will create no little
excitement in the ranks of the democracy in thi .
city The Republican General Committee which
meets at Tammany Hall, has great influence upon
the movements Of the party, throughout the city
and State, in various ways. In the approaching
Presidential election its importance will be in
creased. II will also have the distribution and ap-
preparation of from 900 to 500 200, which will
be picked from the pockets of the faithful, for the
purpose of carrying on the elections. 1t will
also possess vast influence in the appointments to
Office, as, in the event Of victory on their side,
all cand idates tor Office must have the endorse
ment Of the committee, before they can become
applicants for the various objects of lucre or am
btion.
In this election, therefore, there will be a
count of the recent divisions between the barn
burners and the old hunkers. The friends of
Mr.. Polk and of Mr.. Van Buren,, it is believed,
are rather at loggerheads with each other in the
ranks, and there will be a considerable contest
for supremacy in the committee. We shall
watch, and report progress.
WING SPEAKRR.-So,a wing Speaker is elect
