New York Prospects.
The opposition to President TAYLOR re-
joices every where over the recent reunion
of the Hunkers and Barnburners in the
State of New York. Even the southern
Locofoco press halls it as harbinger of
Locofoco victory-and this too, notwith-
standing it absorbs into the united Demo-
cratic party all the heresies of Free Soil,
Abolition, and of the Buffalo platform.
The Democratic party in New York asso-
ciates itself with allies odious to the South;
identifies itself with doctrines which threat
Ell the peace and union of the States; and
yet such is the blindness and such the
madness of party, that these alliances are
welcomed, and these doctrines are sane
toned, in the hope that the coalition will
be enabled to achieve triumph over
ZACHARY TAYLOR, the southern slave
holder"
But it is not to be concealed that the
Opposition count with confidence not
merely on the reunion of the hitherto d.
vided wings of Locofocodom, but upon sup
posed diversions and differences in the
Wing ranks. They hope something from
the disafection of unsuccessful aspirants
for places of honor or emolument. They
hope something from the disappointments
of the ambitious-who are willing to sac
rfce great public ends for the qualification
OF personal resentments, and to hazard the
present success of the party in the vague
hope that It's defeat may in some way or
other be made to minister to their own po-
litical ACKNOWLEDGEMENT. That member of
a party who looks for desirable results in
any thing but the common success-and
who hopes to secure private and individual
advantage from the temporary discontinue
of the organization of which he is por-
tion--is disloyal to the cause which he
affects to sustain. Hence it is that we
turn deaf ear to the suggestions that we
have met with in various quarters, that
there is a deep and settled hostility to the
recent WING nominations in New York,
among certain portion of the Wing party,
which will induce II to acquesce in their
defeat The intimations that have been
| given out, that there is want of amity be-
tween the Wing State administration Of
New York, and the Wing administration of
the Union, we have been equally indisposed
to treat as worthy of serious contradiction.
The utmost harmony and good feeling pre-
vail between the two administrations.
They have no cause for dissension they
have no cause for want of confidence on
either side. Both true and constant to the
creed and doctrines of the WHIGs-both
acquescing in the cardinal principle OF
General TAYLoR's policy, to give just effect
to the will Of the people, as expressed
through their constitutional organs-they
cannot so differ upon any minor topics as to
indulge, for moment, sentiment of po-
lltica hostility or distrust As far as the
; General Government is concerned, We
can aver that there is no want of am.
ity, or want of confidence in the mem
bers of the State administration tha
E they regard them as friends embarked in
common cause the subjects of com
mon fortunes, and substantially with com
mon hopes, purposes, and objects. Sc
too with the Wing nominations, fairly
. made in a general convention of the
party; and, according to It's established
r usages, IT is idle to imagine that the Fed
: eral Administration claims the right, o.
: INDUCES the disposition, to criticise o.
: cavll at the manner in which the Whig
: OF the State have seen fit to exercise
n their privileges or discharge their duties
With no power, no means, and no desire o
e interference in the domestic arrangement
r OF the States, their policy is clear and OBJ
e yious,to maintain the harmony and integ
: rlty OF the great Wing party of the Union
= to cultivate kindly and cordial relations
!: with all ITS representatives., and TO repu
= date all efforts to SOW dissension or dis
trust among its members.
