No one can have conception of the jumbling up Of
political questions and candidates until they witness the
confusion of these matters in this great State. II did
not know OF the operations going forward elsewhere,
should unhesltatingy say that there would be Presi
dent at least by the people In this particular section

rotten fruit from rotten tree 1t is composed OF
the vest materials; all OF the political vermn that have
crawed and faened on the of public plumber,
until they have fallen, have been shaken off goged,
but unsatisfed Unprincpled democrats dissatisfied

Such is the traitor faction that now rolls itself under
the car OF party 1t cannot stop, but may impede its
progress The wings have hopes infused INTO them
since Mr. Clay has refused the proered nomination. but
still do not think they feel sanguine. New York may,
and believe il will, unless some unlooked-for change
takes place. go for Gen. Taylor But the wing party is
weak here, elsewhere They cannot bring over the
ultra wings to vote for the hero candidate Some Of
them have determined to vote for Mr. Van Buren,, and
some declare their intention to withhold their votes, and
some intend to vote for the ''embodment" whether
he will be candidate or not. Had Van Buren, and his
vagran followers but been to their faith would
have beaten Gen. Taylor than ever beat Mr..
Clay; Tor 1t is impossible for the former TO carry the
strength of the wing party This Stree soi movement,
as they term it. catches the ideas Of the fanatics of either
party, and will have number of voaries 1t strange
! that these people cannot understand in government a
maxim that they approve in their everyday liie-"to
mind their business" and not to NEEDLE with the
affairs of their neghbors But they actually get into
considerable distress of mind about ills that exist only
IN their msed fancles, and argue about principles that
they do not understand 1t is very generally believed that
the possession of number of slaves gives to the

1t to me that we have paid too much attention to
this movement Our constant notice has given il an i'm
portance it does not of itself possess 1t will merely be
in the west something of an addition TO the regular abo
ton vote, drawn mainly from the wing ranks; and
ganzed by itself, it will lessen vote some but in
