The Presidency, and New England Politics.
have very clear recollection of half a dozen
presidential election years; and can truly say
that In no one of them were New York movements
so anxiously watched as in the present The
Herald has been in the hands of all. The "digni-
fled dullness" of the Erening Post, and the unsur-
passed and indispensable stupidity of the Globe,
have been surnounted, in the anxiety of people of
all opinions to ascertain the setting of the New
York current. The conclusion to which people
have come, is, that the barnburners are in a fair
way of getting g harmonized" The recent action
of the Tammany General Committee, Senator Dix's
course, and the want of immediate fighting on the
part Of the recusants, all thought to indicate
rally OF your democracy, "without distinction of
party" In support of Cass and Butler. What the
barnbuners mean by calling convention on the
22d June, almost month after the adjournment of
the Baltimore conclavs, Is that which puzzles some
people. For my own part, think il looks like an
intention to back square out of the ring. There is
nothing in history like it /; but do recoect some
thing very like it in fiction, which is generally
truer than history. When Capt Colepepper, in the
" Fortunes of Nigel" was challenged by TO fight
duel, he named that day fortnight for the time
of fighting he intending TO 'cut his stick in the
interval. The barnburners appear to be animated
by the same spirit which is rather discreet than
valorous. BY the 22d of June, there will not be
enough of them left to stand guard the wreck
OF that omnibus IN which the Tyler party was wont
to take Its airings. Mr.. Benton, by giving in his
adhesion, has satisfied many of our old Van Buren,
democrats that all is right. In fine, our democracy
are about to make good fight, and bring up their
ancient numbers TO the political Ramoth Gilead of
next November, in which King Whiggery will be
shot TO death by some one.
The efforts TO bring about the nomination of Tay-
lor by the wing convention are becoming, with
each day, more decidedly prominent IN New Eng
land. Abbot Lawrence Is TO be the ca ndidate for
Vice Presldent-if he can get the nomination.
There are some who are III favor of giving that
place TO Speaker lnthrop, who certainly Is better
qualified for 1t than Mr.. Lawrence but Taylor and
Winthrop on the same ticket would send off the
conscience wings from Its support en- anasse, the
latter gentleman having rendered himself "pecu-
cullary" obnoxious TO all persons afflicted with
tendency TO the abolition vertigo. The TAYLOR ca
binet is all fixed and is to consist of the following
persons Secretary of State, Daniel Webstcr, Of
Massachusetts Secretary of the Treasury. George
Evans, OF Name Secretary of War; General r.
Wilson, of New HAMPSHIRE Secretary of the
Navy, George p. Marsh of Vermont: Postmaster
General, truman. smith, OF Connecticut: Attor-
ney General, Henry Y Cranston. of Rhode Island
New England. You see, Is to be pretty fully repre-
sented /; and If you were only TO listen 10 the talk
OF our wings, you would suppose that IN no other
part OF the world can cabinet officer be found
The Massachusetts wings such unaduterated
boobies, that they imagine they are to carry
the country on cry of Taylor and the Tariff OF
az as the coupling OF any OF their pet absurdi-
even the glorious old hero himself. 1t is to get a
renewal of those ''obsoete' measures cherished
by the wings that that party are ready to use the
General, and their nomination of him will have no
heart In IT,
The New Hampshire democrats are about to give
Mr.. Anterior successor in the person of Henry
Hubbard. Mr.. Hubbard is young man, scarcely
day beyond the Senatorial age ; has good deal
OF talent, and has, am told, just married lady
with an ample fortune, that he can bear the
weight OF public honors. He has been member
OF the New Hampshire Legislature, and Speaker of
the House. He is one of those men who achieve
much greatness, but who have more thrust upon
them.
