Movements of the Politicians.
Now that the democracy lave had time to cool

Ter them to pursue,I do not find so many of their
number ready % look favorably upon the free
soiiers, as vas the case fortnight age. por-
ZION OF em are deslrous of waiting to see what
Geney al Taylor's administration will do-they
enc nshing very lively faith that the wings have
Caught Tartar IN the old hero. Others think that
the party should be re-organlzed forthwith. with
view to early operations in this State, and on the
basis of an alliance with the democracy of the
Western and NorthemStaes,toth the entire exclusion
of the South, upon which region, they say, no
reliance can be placed. The name of William
Aller., of Oho s frequent In their mouths, as one
who an they would gladly have for their leader, as
apAre State candidate for the Presidency; and
ih his name has been coupled that OF Thomas
VI. Dorr. of Rhode lsland, for the Vice Presidency.
They believe that, with such ticket, every free
State-wlth the exception, perhaps, OF Pennsyl-
vania-could be relied upon, il the slavery ques-
ton should not be speedily settled in permanent
manner. II told that the chance of Pennsylvania
would defeat their ticket, they point TO the fact
that the next presidential election will be held
under new apportIonment law, which will en-.
crease the power of the West, both relatively and
positively, in the electoral college and they aver
that Missouri would be with them, that State is
far from being welded to slavery. How sound
their views are you are IN better position to de-
termine than most men.
The bill of Indictment prepared by our radical
democrats against the South, may be briefly
summed mp They say-that every free State can
dldate tor the presidency has thus Tar been most

a non STAKEHOLDER against STAKEHOLDER, no matter
what may be their respective poiltlcal opinions !;
that the perlous position occupied by the democracy
their fidelity Othe compromises OF the constitution;
and that the conduct of the South in supporting
Gen Taylor, In the face OF that fidelity on their part,
must be held as absolvlng them from all -obliga-
lions to support those compromises IN the future, If
again ST the splrit of the age; that the South was
bound IN supreme degree to support Gen. Glass;
made against him the free States because of mis-
Nicholson letter, and that the failure to do So Is
proof of the utter want OF common decency, in po-
ltics, on the part of the Southern people, with
whom to further act would be disgraceful to free.

the democracy when Polk, STAKEHOLDER, was
their candidate, refuse to support non-slavehold-

al proof that no man who is not a STAKEHOLDER has

reason to DIRE ad an alliance between the great
agricultural interest of the South and the equally
powerful manufacturing interest Of the North, to
contend against which, the democracy. of the
spirit, the ascendancy of which will finally crush
slavery, and remove dark stain from our nation
alescutcheon Such sentiments as these are very
common, and their general prevalence may lead
TO most important results. The fact OF the
Northern wings, for some years past, warning
against slavery, has far abolltonlzed that party
that thousands OF Its members would probably

out OF the territories, to abolish It the DIS
trlct OF Columbia, and to put an end to the slave
trade, are just now most popular ideas with the
bulk Of our democrats, and are likely to become
incorporated into their creed. At the same tIme
NO alliance is desired with the free-soilers, who
are looked upon with no regard whatever, as
party.

Collins declaration, that MIR. Polk will 60 out of

him as the worst enemy that the democratic party
ever had, and as having encouraged the Office
