We received intelligence last evening, at a late
hour, of the probability that the Wing Convention
would abandon all the candidates heretofore
named-Clay, Taylor, Scott, Nc.--and finally settle
down on Crit,enden, of Kentucky, for President,
and Clayton, of Delaware, for Vice
This would be very strong and popular ticket,
avoiding all extremes, and getting rid of all
rvalries. Crittcnden is high-minded Ia
Tented whig--supported the Mexican war-and
would be acceptable to the friends of Clay, Scott,
and Taylor, respectively. Such ticket would
have an admirable chance for the vote of New
York. We wait with patience for the result.

The Demonstration OF the Barnburners-
Great Cry, but Little Wool.

Yesterday afternoon, the great demonstration of
the bamburners took place in the Park, in opposi-
ton to the regular nomination Of Cass and Butler.
The weather was most beautiful-the sun shone
over the trees and the City Hall with great bril-
nancy, and the fresh western breeze carried
health and happiness, besides eloquence, on its
wings.
The meeting was rather large; but considera-
bic portion was made up of wings and Cass men,
with small sprinkling of "our colored brethren"
Of the most sable kind. There was "great cry
and little WOOL" A full report will be found in
our columns to-day.
Mr.. C. C. Cambreeng was one of the first
speakers; but beyond the few listeners on the
stage, and the reporters near him, he was heard
by few in the crowd. During his speech, great
shouts broke out in different portions of the crowd,
for Cass and Butler-hurra for Cass and Butler"
After Mr. Cambreeng had finished, terrific
about was raised for "John Van Buren, -
.sPrince John ''-"John Van Buren, "-"Prince
John forever!' John soon made his appearance,
and made quite an animated speech TO those
around hun-few else could hear word. We
refer our readers to the report. John said" 20
matter who the wings nominate, the barnburners
will not support him."
The meeting, on the Wnole, was ralnerlair as uf'
monstratisn-perhap four or five thousand ofbarn-
burners, wings hunkers, and a considerable lot of
negroes at the first go ofi-equal to defeat General
Cass in this State; but even that is not absolutely
certain. Ii wound up with two Cass meetings on
the outskirts of the crowd. 1t counted in numbers
and responsibility about the same which have
marked all the previous secessions or instructions
in the democratic party, during the last twenty
years. 1t may last just long enough TO take the
vote of Nav York from General Cass and give il
10 the wings, if they nominate good man; but can
have no permanent existence 1t is only an organ
lied insurrecton. All is yet in the wind, till the
wings make their nomination, to-day or tomorrow
in Philadelphia. Then We will know where We
are The only capital made at the meeting Wa
done by John Van Buren,. His speech was fin'
one on his side of the fence-fu of w.t. point, elo
auence and sarcasm. His debut is hit, and ne is
set down as a splendid speaker, by all parties. Al
the close, some gentlemen proposed to go to Sher
wood & Fishers, in Broadway, and get few
oysters. John turned ur the tail of his eye and
asked, "is that good place TO liquorl" This pro-
duced a roar of merrlment, and away they went
1t is now said that Crttenden and Clayton will
be the candidates of the wing convention, and may
be nominated to-day.

The ABoLIrroNIsTS OF THE NORTH The aboli-
tionis!s OF the various colors, are beginning to
agtate in the free States Of the North, in re-
ference to the next Presidency Some time ago.
in New England, Senator Hale, of New Hamp-
SHIRE was put forward candidate for the Presi
dency, by certain section Of the Union. We OBJ
serve, also that liberty convention has been
held at Rochester, in this State, where Gerritt
Smith, Of Otsego county, has been nominated for
the Presidency. The Wilmot proviso party, a
fragment OF the democracy, will soon meet at Utl
ca, and put forward their candidate for the Presi-
dency so that IN the course of few weeks we
will have three different and distinct candidates for
the Presidency, nominated by as many different
factions, who make great noise and fuss about
free labor and the rights of the colored race in OPP
position to negro slavery the Southern States
Four years ago, in the great election for Presi-
dent, the aboitionists had but one candidate
that was Bimey--to him they gave over sixty
thousand votes Since that time abolition agitation
has rather increased than diminished, besides
breaking itself into three distinct factions, each
with its own candidate. The chances. therefore,
are, that the aggregate vote of the abotioniss, of
all colors and shades, will reach one hundred thou
sand next November. Both the old parties wings
and democrats, will suffer by these secessions.

J.mwai. 81. Louis Republican, and many other
newspapers, seem TO take much interest in ex.
planning the political position Of General Taylor,
should he be passed over by the wing convention,
and another nominated for the Presidency. They
have affirmed positively that the old hero will not
be candidate in opposition to the wing nominee;
while they admit he said that he is in the
hands of his friends and those who have made
him candidate during the last year.
We think there is great deal of false special
pleading in these explanations There is a large
portion of the independent masses who mani
tested preference in favor of General Taylor, who
will never give him up as their candidate, but will
run him, whether he consents not and in this
part of the country, the fragment that remains of
the element of the native party will be revived for
this purpose The recent attempt in this city, by
Emmett and Hogan, to organise the Irish voters
into political party, will only tend to excite the
old materials of natvism into high state of effer
vescence.
General Taylor will be run as candidate for
the Presidency,at all hazards, and against all con-
tingencies; and of this there can be no doubt.
Heretofore, the wings have suffered most; butnow,
the democrats will suffer also. The effect of these
movements on the Presidential election cannot
exactly be calculated at this moment. The aboli-
ton vote of 1874, taken from the wing ranks, ele-
waited Mr.. Polk to the Presidency. Parties are
now more even.
