PUTTING OF PoLrTIcANs--Some OF the politca
papers have been letting off considerable steam in
relation to the speech of Mr.. Winthrop, on the
4th Of July last, IN Washington Well we have
seen that address, looked over it, and marked Its
contents; and we must say that 1t a very crude,
heavy artificial and dull affair, after all. The ideas
of the whole address may be compressed into a
quarter part of the space; and it would then only
be made PLAIN and agreeable.
1t is melancholy to see the immense oceans of
pufiery, which the political journals throw away
upon particular men belonging to their own side of
the question, that last for day, and then vanishe
for ever.

In pursuance with the recommendation of their
general committee, the Barnburners, or radical
portion Of the democratic party, assembled in their
respective assembly districts last evening, for the
purpose of eecting delegates to represent them in
the convention, to be held in Utica, on the 18th OF
September next, with view of nominating Pre-
sdental electors well candidates for Governor,
Lieutenant Governor, and other State officers.
Asa general thing, believe the meetings went OF
without much excitement, with the exception Of one
or two instances In the Eighth ward composing the
sixth assembly district considerable opposition was
made to the Barnburners proceedings by . goodly
number of the bunker party, who ON hand and
ready for the fray The meeting having been organ

of D. b Il. Marshall, Gernrdus Boyce was nominated
as the delegate from that district which declared
to be carried. A committee then appointed to

As soon as the committee had returned there were
loud cries for "Sckles,o Washburn," "Sickles,"
"Washburnn Sc, which lasted for some time. Mr..
Washburn rose and addressed the meeting at con-
siderable length in praise of Martin Van Buren, and
forth in glowing terms that contrary to the expec
taton of his warmest friends, State after State

of the Utica Convention for its independent and homo

requested to defer what he had to say until the report
of the committee had been read The reading OF the
report was then proceeded WITH and on the question
being Put to the assemblage Mr.. Sickes said that he
wished to make few remarks before the question
taken the question was, however, put amidst
the most undesirable confusion, and declared to
be carried. After which, the Barnburners adjourn

Havemeyer for permitting his name and influence to
be used in getting the meeting which had been held
there; he also denounced Mr.. Van Buren, for the
he had pursued and is pursuing to defeat
the election of the democratic nominees for President
and Vice President &C.

EXTREMES MHT.-Some of the papers in Geor-
gia' denounce General Cass as an abolitonst.
while others in New England denounce him as a
man supporting slavery. This is one of the beau
ties of political controversies General Cass can't
be both at the same time. Another funny piece of
abuse is that which has been thrown up against
General Taylor Some of the papers denounce
him king log, as an inefficient and useless old
man; and assert that he is entirely unfit to be Pre-
sident. THIS is the greatest joke of all, calling
the hero of Buena Vista king log. Well, they will
discover that they have made mi stake IN the
man, when they find him IN the White House on
the 4th of March next.

THE New CoDE.-This new gospel among the
lawyers is working wonders in certain forms and
shapes. Under the old code, no suit could be
brought without first paying fees of Court, which
formed sort of barrier to the commencement Of
suits. Since the new code has come into opera
ton, we understand the whole amount of fees paid
into all the Courts this city with the exception
of one or two), does not exceed So 62i cents in
the week, whereas, under the old code, the amount
would have averaged two or three hundred dollars.
This is feature of the new code which greatly
encourages the commencement of suits, and sti-
mulates the lawyers to hunt up clients wherever
they can find them, to begin suit, paying only the
private fee of the lawyer ranging from Csc. to s25
The lawyer now can begin suit without paying
a cent for fees out of his own pocket. Therefore
all he gets from his client, whether money or bar
ter, goes to himself, and is clear gain to him.
Hence, thousands of suits will probably be be-.
gan, which will never proceed any further. When
the lawyer pockets his private preliminary fee, he
sits down, smokes his cigar, and goes shooting
again in the wales of human nature for more game:
This is glorious code.

his military interiors as the ancient Cortez in his
day Mr.. Polk and Secretary Marcy ought to be
ashamed of themselves General SCOTS brilliant
military deeds and silly political letters, place him
upon a sort of neutral ground, which should have
been reason enough to let him escape without any
more annoyance. Mr.. Marcy's letters, and the
soup correspondence, were trial and punishment
enough for any reasonable man, whether Chris
tan or soldier The War Secretary ought to
quash all these proceedings, and hereafter attend
exclusively to the holes IN his own brooches.
