After sacn party has made IFS nomination, general
principles, general measures, and national issues,
may come into play; but the motives which rule al
all nominations, are much more their supposed
availability, in private pledges, the distribution
OF office, than great national measures or princ-
pies.
Now in this position of things, how do matters
stand
There are three prominent candidates before all
the factions, and before the nation at large The
democracy have nominated their man-General
Cass. The wings are divided between Mr. Clay
and General Taylor. II is conceded that neither
an ultra democratic candidate. or an ultra wing
candidate, can receive majority of the popular
vote General Cass will be opposed by the
nullifiers of South Carolina, as we'll as
by the barnbumers of New York Mr. Clay
will be opposed by the nullifiers, the barn.
burners, the abolitionists, and the natives
Neither Clay nor Cass can therefore receive ma
joriry of the popular vote. Yet if other candi-
date were TO run but those ,wo it is probable that
one of them might be elected, and the chances are
about even which of them il would be. If the
wings, In their convention next week, should no.
inmate Mr.. Clay, General Taylor will still be a
candidate, independent OF any party or faction, and
would probably unite those extremes of the North
and the South-the barnburners and the nullifers-
in the support of his cause, in addition to various
other masses. In such conjunction of circum.
stances, there would be election by the popular
vote; but the three candidates would be returned
to the House of Representatives, as in 1924 and
in the House. General Taylor would also stand a
good chance. The democrats could not and would
not vote for Mr. Clay, nor the wings for Gen. Cass
but sufficient of both might in the long run, unite
on General Taylor, and elect him in the House of
Representatives. If he should not even be elected
by the House or the people, he would still be the
most prominent candidate at the next heat, and
would be tower of strength to the party that sticks
to him through all. But if the wing convention
should decide that Mr.. Clay is unavailable as
a candidate, and should take up General Taylor,
they would decidedly have the best chance to
succeed in the contest. In such case, a conside-
rable portion of the friends of Mr.. Clay might
abandon the wing cause and support the demo-
cratic candidate; but that might be made up by a
singular union of natives, barnburners and NULL
fiers in favor of the hero of Buena VISTA If the
wing convention, therefore, nominate General
Taylor, the barnburners will be extinct as party;
but if they nominate Mr.. Clay, then the barnburners
might have chance to walk up the deep ravine
of politics without being precipitated into the gulf
of political oblivion below.
| Such at present are the most accurate views we
can take of this important subject to-day. General
Taylor is the most available candidate ty every

II will be seen from this, that . distinct party,
organized as party, has majority of the popular
vote at this moment. In an election for President,
therefore, whatever the conventions OF the States
may do in the way of nomination. an election by
the people must be produced by the union of two
or more parties, in order TO get the electoral votes
al some Of the principal States.
The first great question involved in political cal
culatioas, preliminary to voting, is that of the men
40 be selected. The selected by the different
factions are more controlled by the influences of
abe spoiIs, than by any other question Whatever.

The Discovery Of EEercuIauemnn.

I'm noticing the wells of ancient Italy, we
may refer to circumstance, which although
trivial in itself. led to the most surprising
discovery that has ever taken place on this
globe, and one which in the interest it has
excited is unexampled. In the early part of
the eighteenth century, Ill, an Italian peas
ant while digging a WELL near his cottage,
found some fragments of colorcd marble.
These attracting attention, led to farther cx-
|cavaton. when statute of Hercules was dis
inferred, and shortly aftcrward a mutilatcd
one of Cleopatra. These specimens of an
cient art, were found at Il considerable depth
below the surface. and in a place which sub
scqucnty proved to be temple situated in
the centre of the ancient City of licrculanc-
um. This city was overwhelmed with ashes
and lava, during an eruption of Nesuvius, n.
ID. 10. being the same in which the elder
Phny persisted, who was suilocatcd with sui
phurious vapors, like Lots wife i'll a similar ca
lamty. Hcrculaneum therefore had been
buried 1880 years and while every memoir
al of it was lost, and even the site unknown,
it was thus suddenly, by Il resurrection then
unparalleled in the annals OF the world,
brought again to light; and streets, temples,
houses, statues, paintings, lewclry, profession
al implements. kitchen utensils. and other ar
ticlcs connected with ancient domestic life,
were to be seen arranged. as when their
owners were actively moving among them.
Even the skeletons of some OF the inhabit-
ants were found; one near the threshold of
his door. With bag of money in his hand,
and apparently in the act OF escaping.
The light which this Important discovery
reflected upon numerous subjects connected
with the ancicnt.. has greatly cclipscd all
previous sources of information; and as re-
CARDS some of the arts of the Romans, the
information thus obtained may be considered
almost a. full and satisfactory rs if one of
their mechanics had risen from the dead
and described them.
Among the early discoveries made in this
City of Hercules. Git having been founded by,
or in honor of him, 1850. b. C.) not the
least interesting is one of It's public wells;
which having been covered by an arch and
surrounded by a curb. the ashes were cxclu-
ded. This we'll was found in n high state Of
prcseryaton--its still contains excellent water,
and is in the same condition as when the last
females retired from it. bearing vases OF It's
water to their dwellings, and probably on the
evening that preceded the calamity which
drove them from it for cvcr.-E5rbank's Uy
dr0ulics.
