The political world q In such state Of com
notion, as we have rarely Witnessed Happy
se who can see the end Of it, and forsisll where
he various parties will be some elk months
renee.
We have heretofore seen bat two general par
les in the land. We have more now True,
he Wings and Democrats are still the strongest
md marshal the mightiest hosts. But there are
1thers growing up, which no political sagaeity
,an overlook or undervalue- We make the fol-
lowing general divisions:
-Whigs;
Democrats;
--Anti-slavery men,
--Perpetualists-
II was said In No. SO Of the Examiner, that
the Democrats were satisfied with their candi- i
date. This Is not so in certain States. The |
ultra men Of the South-Mr. Calhoun and his |
Yancey Of Alabama and his CLIQUE
Mr.. Moses Of Florida, and his friends-oPpese
him. The vote Of the first is uncertain. The in
auencs Of the two latter, will, !. is supposed be
for Gen. Taylor An effort, however, has been
made to get up a Southern Convention-neto on
w with view Of ascsrtaining what all the can
didates think on the subject Of slavery, buf Of
bringing out a new one, provided those al
ready in the field do not come up square to the

question may wia over the Southern uitras TO
the support of Gen. Taylor.
But larger Neutrality-suspicious. in numbers
and Influences that Of the B4rnburners In
New York, and other free States. This j. Sc
rious matter. No one can calculate It's effect
At the Utica Convention, just held In Utica, n
York, Martin Van BRren was noni mated for the
Presidency. New England, Ohio, Wisconsin,
&c. were represented, so that the Barnburners
are organized and in the field. Their principle
IL, no more Stare States-EO Stare territory. They
pledge themselves not to interfere with slavery
as IL new exists; but they go against its extern
sion In any way, or under any circumstances.
We have said that no one can calculate the
effect Of this movement We must qualify. IL
must weaken the regular ticket in New York,
New England, Ohio, and Wisconsin. We sup
pose il will defeat that ticket in these States
The democracy give up New York, and nothing
but division of the Wings in Ohio and lndi-
ana can prevent a similar result in those States
Now, suppose that Gen Taylor carries the
South, as is confidently asserted, what chance Of
success has Gen. CAST As to the South, how
ever, the knowing ones declare, that Gen. Tay-
Tors friends are deceived, and that he will not
carry more than three States beyond the Wing
strength But even this calculation will not
save Gen. Cass,-if only the Democratic vote be
relied on.
Turn now TO the Wings.
Gen. Taylor's nomination has created wide
disaffectOn in New England, New York, ohiO,
and Indiana Nor is this disaffection fully rep
resented by the Wing press. There is no wis
dom in undertaking or Overstating il; but friends
will naturally do the one, and foes the other.
The grounds Of this disafection are various.
They may be thus summed up:
That he Is not a Wing;
That nobody knows his views a. to the sx-
tension Of slavery;
That he is wholly uncOmmitted az to the
creation Of new slave States
The first formal move made against this nom
inatiOa was by the Independent Convention Of
Ohio. That was large and enthusiastic. Ia Is
supposed that it will embrace, at least, one-haIf
Of the Wing vote in the Western Reserve. III
50, Ohio Is lost to the Wings. Then as to In
dana The northern part Of this State Is largely
disstiset-sl Tls ,ssh' 4, an znaae pi-e-- have re-
Pndiatsd the nominaton. This may lose Indi-
ana % thar party. For that State Is nearly
s<sally divided, and II there were no disturbing
causes these would certainly, we think, vote for
Gen. Cass.
II we look at New England, we see the same
state Of things. The Convention at Worcester,
which met last "Wednesday, Is represented mall
quarters, as likely to De the largest held in
that State. ItiseOmPOsed OfsIl parties. What
1t will accomplish we cannot say. We suppose |
it will render that State doubtful for Gen. Tay- |
Tor II the disaffection extends to Rhode Island,
Vermont and Connecticut, the whole Of New |
England may be lost to the Wings As to New |
York, nothing is settled. The New York Tn
bune is against Gen. Cass; but is not for Gen.
Taylor. II it should oppose his nomination, II |
viii carry with it large portion Of the Wing
party. The basis it stands upon, is free soil
Still, with all these drawbacks, Gen. Taylor
seems to us, to possess positive strength which
u will be hard TO overcome.
Thequestion remains, what will the IadsDend.
sHis dot Their leading principle is free SOIL
No slave States-nO more slave territory. Sup
pose that they should be able TO carry Ohio
Vermont, New Hampshire and
Rhode Island-they may prevent an election by
he people. IL they fail in that they will at least
create positive anti-slavery party in Congress,
which will be sure to prevent the extension Of
iavery or the creation of new slave States.-l
They hold national convention at Buffalo on
ne 9Th of August. BY that time, we shall know
What they can effect. The contest, then, for the
lext Presidency, according 10 our view, will be a
mixed one; the result, even if Gen. TAYLOR sbouId
e elected, cannot fail to weaken, If not break
'P the Wings, and to qualify. If not change the I
ature policy Of the Democrats.
