Political Intelligence,

We learn from Jealous and prominent whig who
has returned from political visit to Connecticut,
that the free soil wings there generally abandon.
ing their first intentions Of voting for Van Buren, and
that there IL but little doubt of q union of the
wings Taylor, sufficient to give him the eector al
democrats, at the head of whom is Hon. John NJ Niles,

democrats and abotionists than wings will vote for
Van Buren,.

MISSOURI.
The following facts and remarks on free soil from
the St Louis Daily Organ, Of Goth August, will be
found interesting" We recently heard q highly in
a slave owner-pronounce that slavery would be ex-
tinguished in Missouri within twenty five years from
this date This term may be rather too limited-but
among calm clsarsghted observers, there can be no
doubt that the time is fastening when the event pre-
dicted will be accomplished here.
"We have now in Missouri perhaps $4,000 slaves out

The Great WING Party.

The great wing party is IN a state of suspended
animation. Whatever may be the result of the
approaching contest, the organisation, the policy
the system of measures-In one word, the platform
of the whlgs-cannot be determined upon until
the result is known. In the election of Gen. Tay-
lor, the only doubt Is whether he will be guided
by the cid or young wings, or whether, &c assum-
ing the responsibility" he will undertake to act
Tor himself, independent of all party obligations.
1t is this uncertainty which has slackened the en-
thusiasm of AZ into the mere necessity of AS
The evident observation-disclosures of Henry Clay,
the Gripping apology of Daniel Webster in behalf
of the wing nominee, :superadded to the recent
letters of Gen. Taylor, taken all together make
the duty of the Wings in rally1ng to their no.
party nomination, an uphill business; and were
il not for the equally singular disaectlon on the
other side-the meeting of the barnburners and
free soileys'' in the North, and the personal I'M
popularity of Gen. Cass In the extreme States of
the South-the campaign would go by default for
the locofocos.
The fact is, there neither unity, nor good faith,
nor enthusiasm on either side and the body of
the people, caring little for the apprehensions of
demagogues. whether wings or ocofocos have
ceased to be dragooned by the empty sounds of
party cap-trap and military glory.
But Mr. Webster recommends the support of
Gen Taylor as the least ofthree evils, and not as
good thing in itself. Mr.. Webster stands at the
head of that class of wings legiumately descended
from the Hartford Convention. Mr.. Clay is the
known chleftain of the consolidated wing party,
as 1t was for as it is, there is no head to the wing
party, Gen. Taylor having distinctly refused to
stand as the exponent of wing principles. The
wing party, then, without leader and without
candidate without platform and without an |
assurance Of their man. in the field against the
unternied democracy, which, though divided in
the North and disafieced in the South, has yet the
advantages of full concurrence of their candi- |
date, pretty clear exposition of their intended
policy, and the prestige of past successes.
Altogether, however, the contest is still an UNI
certain triangular fight; but speech from Mr..
=, like that c. ,,,s rrea expounder, would settle
the question at once, IN favor Of Gen. Sass

These States, except Indiana, voted for Clay in
1874 giving him thirty-six votes, and exactly ba-
lsnclnp New York, which then voted tor Polk.
Consequently, if the free soil takes those
States from the wings and transfers them 10 Cass,
parties stand in the northern and middle States as
they were IN 1874, notwithstanding the wing gain
IN New York. Cass is, of course, elected, and all
she labors of Mr.. John Van Buren, 60 for nothing.

OBJECTS AND OPERATIONS OF THE BARNsr.,iy,.
We expressed our inability to ." scover the object
of John Van Buren, - On = s,e,e,, of Of
taol he.i D-:.l,
- .v.n upon Taylor and Cass Presumlng that
the design Of John and his associate barnburners
is to defeat Cass, clearly appears to US, that by
"carrylng water on both shoulders" he defeats
the principal object he has in view, by the election
of General Cass
This is shown by a view OF the political
hattie ground in those States where the free soil
question will be most fiercely agltated.
It is conceded by all well informed politicians In
this State, whether Cass men, Van Buren, men, or
wings that the division in the democratic party
must give the SO electoral votes OF New York to
General Taylor. To suppose the possibility OF
dlfferen, result, we must calculate on transfer
of at least fifty thousand wing votes from Taylor
TO Van Buren,; and, swe have said before, twenty
thousand is liberal estimate. Those barnburners,
therefore, who hatter themselves that there Is a
chance for Van Buren, in this State, Will probably
find themselves as much mistaken as they were
IN 1910. when he was so badly beaten by Harrison.
Although the force of regular nominations may
cause the Cass and Butler electoral ticket TO
run even better than that of Van Buren, and
Adams. there can be no doubt that the highest
of these democratic tickets will fall some tor
ty or fifty thousand below the Taylor and Fill
more ticket; even if demonstration should
be made by the young ultra wings, in run
ming Clay electoral ticket. Such ticket,
under the circumstances, would not probably poll
over ten thousand votes in the Stationary think
not five thousand and those would be given prln-
cipaly by ant-Taylor wings, who otherwise might
vote. for Van Buren,.
Such being the facts with regard TO the State Of
New York-namely, that the operations OF the barn.
burners here will deprive Cass Of thirty-slx cleo
toral votes, and give them to. Taylor-what vii

LAUNCH OF THE STEAMSHIP GEoRGiA-This noble
ship the second Of the New York and New Orleans
line Of mall steamers deserves more extended notice
than the brief of her launch in yester.
days paper.
The Georgia is larger in point of tonnage than her
consort the Ohio-lsrger than any steamer built or
building on this side of the Atsntc; and with the
solitary exception Of the Great Britain larger than
any steamship in the world Her dimensions for
given yesterday but colossal a. they
are they convey but very imperfect idea Of her real
siEe except those accustomed to calculate the bur-
then of ship by Custom House rule To the uuini-
tisted the view Of her upper deck affords much bet
er means Of approaching her vast proportions, for
here, before t6s eye is spread floor, extending in
length 275 feet frem stem to stern with an extreme
breadth amdshps Of 80 feet, presenting superficial
surface Of not much less than half acre-a space
upon which . regiment might be maneuvered. The
actual tonnage Of the Georgia Is not far from $500
Her magnitude, however, is by no means her most
remarkable point. The entire novelty and striking
peculiarly OF her model combining it does the
suit Of the observation experience and skill Of some
the ablest mechanicians and naval architects New
York boast Of, is still better worth attention.
Neither time nor space would to describe the
many points Of difference between the hull Of the
Georgia and that Of any Of the feet Of fine steamers
building in our port but there are certain peculiar
ties which cannot help adverting to- and which we
certain would strike the eye Of the careless
observer The sharp, clear yacht-like finish of her
clean and symmetrical curve Of her stern give sue
promise of unrvalled speed cannot escape the OBJ
ervation of those who know the fast points Of ship
while her vast breadth Of beam, and the roomy
sruction of her centre afford the fullest assurance
her great buoyancy stability and capacity.
Both the Georgia and her consort have been built
without regard to time or expense with sole view to
their entire fitness for the important service which
they to perform There has been haste in their
construction, unskilful hands employed, and no
material but the best and most expensive used upon
them. The most minute examination will bear out
the truth Of this assertion any evidence be wanting
to establish the character Of ship built by Smith and
Dimon, under the tuperntendence Of George Law Esq
The launch will take place ut about four O'Clock this
afternoon from the yard at the foot Of Fourth street.
