that he has ''sketched" the Locofoco or Tory

''been true TO their name all along, in depriv-

PoLTIcAL ABUsE-The way in which the
Courier AND Enquirer walks into the character
and reputation of some of their old associates IN
the Clay movement, is a caution to respectable
lackgaards, and makes Wall street journalism a
rival to Five Point eloquence. Willis Hall, Joseph
L. White and Dudley Selden are treated, by their
quondam organ,a if they were the most selfish be-
ings in Christendom. The idea of setting forth
hat Mr.. White would make speech on any side
for one hundred dollars, and that Willis Hall Or
Dudley Selden would support any candidate, for
honor and emolument, is not very crcdltabe to the
character OF wing politicians. We are much afraid
however, THAT such abuse and personality, intro
duced into the Preside nhal contest, will njure the
cause which it is intended to serve. The Courier
ought TO know something of corruption and venal-
iy for II has been stepped in the same venallty up
to The chin, ever since it's somerset the United
States Bank question The secrets Of the prison
house are now coming out.

PoLlTIcAL FisHrNe-LAwYERs FOR BArr.-The
Old bunker Convention, which was held at Syra-
cuse recently, nominated on their ticket for Lieu
tenant Governor, Charles O'Conor, one of the
leaders Of the Irish Directory here, and one of the
orators who endeavored to produce the Impression
that Ireland was ready for revolution, If large
sums of money could be collected here and sent to
the other side.
The nomination OF Mr.. O'Conor, who is very
clever lawyer, but not eminent as patriot, was
made by the hunkers merely for the purpose of
catching the Irish votes. They put him on their
hook, as fisherman does sprat, and think that
the Irish will be caught to vote the bunker ticket.
The barnburners, it seems, have attempted the
same business, and also fshed IN the troubled wa
'ers for the Irish vote. Robert Emmett, another
prominent member of the Irish Directory, direc.
tory which still has on hand over thirty thousand
dollars of funds, which they don't know what to do
with-ihey put HIM on their electoral ticket, and
they will endeavor to bob for Irleh votes, next No
vember throughout this region.
Ifthere are any other parties, or factions, which
want to fish for Irish votes, we have few more of
the same sort OF credentials left There is Mr.
Mooney and Horace Greeley, and three or four
more, who were all busy during the Irish excite
ment in this city, and who would make capital bait
for the poor deluded IRISH. The calculation too,
is good. fyou can pick the pockets of exctabe,
but honest people-as the Irish citizens are-of
thirty five thousand dollars, it surely would be easy
to get their votes too

HE FREE Soil MovEMENT-This movement
which was started by Mr.. Van Buren, and his sup
porters, seems to be getting on famously in the
free States. Vermont told well Maine, by the
recent returns has not made so great triumph
but perhaps that State will do better by November
next. Free soil conventions every where appear
to be getting up with good deal of enthusiasm,
and what is more surprising, the one just held in
Reading, Pennsylvania, appears to- have accom-
phshed great deal In little time, and over wide
space.
This Van Buren, movement is certainly a new
thing in the history of politics in this country al
ready 1t is said that twenty-five liberty papers have
gone over to the support ofthe Buffalo nominations
The national reformers who nominated Gerritt
Smith, are looking in the same direction. All the
ultas, and odd euds of all parties, the people of
one idea, appear to be gathering together for the
purpose of supporting Mr.. Van Buren, We are be-
ginning to be very much of the opinion of Mr..
Calhoun, he expressed it in his recent speech in
Charleston, that whatever may be the result of the
presentPresidential election, the next one will pre-
sent fearful contest, and may bring on n cris,s
that may cause the secession of the Southern dele
gates from Congress. It General Cass be elected
in the present contest, the movement of Mr. Van
Buren, will still 60 forward, and if his party can,
In four years, combine the free States in his favor
and he be elected President, there will be an end
OF the union of those States. This consideration
should enter into the calculations of the statesmen
and politicians of the South. The election of
General Taylor, with the circumstances surround.
Ing HIM, the principles that would govern him, and
the prestige which he would carry with him into the
White House, would be more potent in placing a
check on the progress of the Van Buren, move
ment in the North, than any other political event
that could take place. Let the South think of this
