lcli in November next. This may be considered
a full, distinct, and emphatic nomination of Gen.
Taylor, and the organization of new party. 1t Is
an important proceeding in the present state of po
litcal affairs throughout the Union Gen. Taylor
has repeatedly declared, that if those masses OF
the people who had put him forward insisted on
running him whether the wings nominated him or
not, he would acquiesce in such nomination, and
allow his name to be used on independent grounds
Even the New York Tribune has asserted that a
private letter from General Taylor, of late date,
contained his sentiments on this point, in which
he avowed his determination TO run as an inde-
pendent candidate, provided those who put him
forward continued to support him.
General Taylor may, therefore, be considered in
the field. He will be taken up at once enthusiasts
tically, by large masses of the!Amercan people, in
every part of the country. What the result may
be, we will be better able to know after the wings
have made their nomination, and all parties have
taken their respective positions One thing is GER
tan-the independent nomination of General Tay-
lor, and the organization of a new republican party
for his support, wM create political revolution in
the United States, break up the corruption, intrigue
and poaoer Of the other to great parties and trow
the election into the House Of Representatives.
There General Taylor stands as good a chance as
any.
But if the whig convention should confirm and
sanction this spontaneous nomination, to-day, or
tomorrow, then General Taylor will undoubtedly
stand the best chance before the people, and so
far he dims the hopes of the democracy, and the
prospects of General Cass. On this point, the I'M
pressions last evening at Philadelphia, as late as
10 o'clock, were highly encouraging. The wing
convention was organised yesterday, and meets
again this morning at o'clock. There was pri-
vate consultation last night at o'clock 1t will
be ready for action to-day, and at any hour, after
10 o'clock, we may be able to surprise the city
with the announcement of the positive nomination
OF General Taylor by the wing convention. Gene
raj Cass was yesterday in Philadelphia, attended
by several of the leading democratic Senator'S
General Houston, Mr. Benton, Mr. Allen, and
others. They are all expected to arrive here this
afternoon, at Castle Garden, at o'clock-probably
on mission OF cancellation or negotiation to the
glorious barnburners of New York, headed by
John Van Buren, and his old guard, who leave
themselves still open for negotiation up to the 22d
inst. at Utica. If the wing convention has the
wisdom to confirm the nomination already made
of General Taylor, the democracy will require all
the force of the barnburners, and little more too,
to take the great State of New York from the hero
of Buena Vista
Thus, 1t will be seen that we In the very cri-
sis of revolution. We have strong hopes that
General Taylor will yet be the candidate of the com
bined powers of the wings, independents, &c. &c.
The mystery will be solved to-day.
The RE-GRGANIzArioN OF THE NATIVE PARTY, OR
THE AMERICAN FREEMEN.-We understand that pre-
partitions will soon be made by several Of the old
leaders of the native party for the reorganization
of its forces in the coming Presidential election,
for the purpose of checking the attempt now
making by the politicians and Office seekers to
organize the Irish voters, as well as the Germans,
into separate and distinct parties, capable of con-
trolling the election next November There will
probably be meeting soon, called together for this
purpose by the leaders, at Military Hall, in the
Bowery, their former headquarters.
Ii seems that the fire of the native party
had burnt out naturally, two or three years ago, in
consequence of having, by its efforts, apparently
knocked common into the heads of the office
seekers and politicians ofthc day, in respect to the
impolicy of binding men of particular birth into
particular political factions in this country
the sad events growing out of the folly of Bishop
Hughes, at Carroll Hall, have been forgotten by
such learned statesmen as Robert Emmett, c.
OConor, and their associates and colleagues
in the recent Irish movement at the Tabernacle
A very short time ago, meeting to express sym.
pathy for Ireland, in the present crisis of its des-
tiny, was called, unconnected with party, and
keeping aloof from anything looking towards
pronunciamento for the approaching election.
The politicians of the day, however, paid
little attention 10 this movement, though it
was quite worthy and respectable movement
that at the Tabernacle Now, however, when
there is prospect that the immense Irish vote OF
this country may be driven together, as O'Conne
used to drive the Irish masses in his own country;
and when there is a chance that political capital
may be made out OF that power. we see the polit-
clans of all the factions of the day, busng busy,
and, hurrylng to express their sympathy for Ireland
This is nothing but hypocrisy and mischief.
We feel as deeply for Irish liberty as these noisy
declaimers but the Irish like the French, and like
the Americans, must achieve their liberty by their
own energy, their own WISDOM and their own
sober sense and unanimity. A great liberal move
ment in Great Britain has now commcnced-a ge-
neral agitation is now making-and Irish patriots,
instead of solating their efforts, they used to do
under the counsels Of O'Connell, should unite
with the liberal party in England and Scotland,
upon some general platform which would lead to
greater rights and more liberal measures than they
have been accustomed to receive from the British
government. The proposition put forth of sepa-
rate government, appears impracticable in the pre-
sent condition of Great Britain. The Irish, in this
country, are right in expressing sympathy for their
own countrymen; but If they pass beyond the ex-
preston of that sympathy, they act in manner
clearly hostile to their duties as American citizens,
and TO the duties which they the laws and
