Poiitics OF New YOrk--A Revolution
Approaching.


We have frequently exhibited, as Barnum did
the sea serpent, or Bunkum the woody horse, the
tangled and confused condition of the two old
parties in this State. The democrats In Tammany
Hall are bitterly divided into two opposing CON-
mIttees, like the two Dromios, each claiming to be
the organ of the party. The wings. according to
recent little events appear to be equally IN state
OF dissolution. Two cques, If not three different
ones, are struggling for the mastery. There Is a
conservative cotere, favorable to Mr.. Webster,
and the old-iashioned coterie, favorable to Mr..
Clay, besides socialist organization, imbued
with all the widest isms Of the day, and running
riot In favor of negroes, Senator Seward,
division Of property, abolition OF slavery, of the
Sabbath, and of many Of the old doctrines of
Christianity.
Such is picture OF our city politics. The
State, as far as Niagara Falls, is beginning TO
present a similar picture. This week (perhaps
yesterday the new journal, which has been in
preparation for many months, at Albany, in oppo-
sinon to Thurlow Weed and his clique, will
probably make it's appearance. II is TO be called
the Nep York State Register, and it will be sup
ported by all who opposed to anti-masonry,
Thurlow Weed, Senator Seward, and foreign
socialism, Of the ultra kind. IL makes its appear
ance with the sanction of some of the most inn
por,snt and eminent names among the wings OF
The State. John &. Spencer, Vice-President Fill
more, John A. Collier, and probably two thirds Of
the wing members Of Congress, with one-half Of
the whg members Of the Legislature, are all
favorable to this new movement, in organizing an
original whig journal, Of national and conser-
vsiiye policy, TO put down Thmlow Weed, Wm.
n Seward, Horace Greeley, and the violen, utras
and selfish politicians who have been lord'ng il
over the whic party for the last few years Thur-
low Weed offered 10 sell out; but the leading men
Of the new movement judged rightly in believing
Il cheaper TO start new Journal, and, instead
al paying twenty OF thirty thous aud dollars to
Thurlow, to 20 on, bag and baggage. to kick him
out Of the party aud out Of influence ut u much
.hesper rate, and at The same time present a more
interesting spectacle to the world outside. II will
be equal to a hoTse.race.
Thus, II will be seen that a ne " and import an
movement, srnngng from the bosom of the dis.
affected Of The wing party, is Just about showing
itseIl TO the world, both IN this metropolis and
throughout the State OF New York. fthe demo
crr,s Of ihs city have heretofore been divided aud
distracted, between two organizations, We expect
10 zee greater divisions and distractions among the
wings, who have been 80 terribly outraged aud
deceived by the Weed faction, heretofore govern.
