New York Politics.

The confusion in New York politics is getting

PRUDENT FILLMORE AND THE WoRLp's FAIR,
w. 8. SteIl, esq.,, an American merchant resid.
ing in Manchester, England. having invited the
President to visit London during the World =
Fair, Mr.. Fillmore sent the following reply,
which is published in the English papers One
Of them prefxes some remarks, part Of which we
reproduce:
The following letter from the President Of the
United States precludes, we regret to say, at least
for the present, the hope that London will dur
ing the coming exhibition, be honored by the
presence Of the executive head Of the great Re-
public.
In common with others, both English and
American, Mr.. Stell believed that such an event
would pave the way for visit from her Majesty
TO the city Of New York, the citizens of which
would vie with each other in giving her a raptur-
GUS and national reception. It's not the first time
that rumor has assignedhto her Majesty an inten-
ton. to take trip to her North American pro-
vjnce-and should she ever fulfil that intention,
her easiest and safest way Of reaching Canada
would be by first proceeding to New York. tits
obvious how much such interchanges Of courtesy
on the part Of the respective heads Of the two ma
tons, would tend to strengthen the bonds of sym
pathy and good feeling between them. From the
however, which 10 the President 3 re-
ply, il would appear that the first step toward
such result u not likely to be Immediately
taken.

8. SrELL, esq, Manchester.
My Dear Sir--I have the honor to acknowledge
The receipt of your Kind letter, Of the 9Th ult.,
through Mr. Randall, expressing the hope that
may visit the Worlds Fair in London, in May
next and assuring me that If do SO shall receive
cordial welcome from my countrymen in Eng
and, and rendering me the inequalities of your
,wn house whilst remained at Manchester.
Previous to the d :ath ofmy lamented predeses-
Tor, had anticipated the pleasure Of visiting Lon
Ion at the time Of the fair, but deem it now i'm
possible to leave my official duties here; and your
sind letter causes a still deeper regret at my dis
appointment. Were it possible for me TO be abb
tent for such length Of time, nothing could be
more gratifying than to accept your proffered hos
pitalities. well recoect meeting you and your
ady in the fall Of 1887, and should be extremely
happy to renew the acquaintance Independent
IF that, have always felt strong desire to visit
Great Britain. Its soil is classic ground to me-
and should be most happy to be able to make
comparison between the leading men OF
that country and my own, and to see how far we
have improved upon the political institutions Of
The mother country. But this must be deferred
ill a more convenient season.
Accept my thanks for your kindness, remember
ne most cordially to your lady, and believe me,
ruly yours.

FALL AND Fusion OF PARrIEs-The majority
in the Georgia Convention, that adopted the
report and resolutions, met afterwards and FORM
ed political coalition or Union party, to super
cede the Wing and Democratic parties of that
State Messrs. Toombs and Stephens were
foremost in the movement. Thus has persisted
in Georgia the nationality of the two great par
ties of the country. Indications justify the be
lief that the same move wil.be made in Other
States, and a national union party, composed Of
all who are opposed to the exaction of strc.
constitutional right, will be formed. The un-
wary are to be wheedled into its support by the
empty and indefinite watch-word, Union
We are to be taught that the Union Of Il Z
States is paramount to every other consideration
and that this must be preserved even at the ex-
pense Of the constitutional liberty and State
rights. If those who are in favor Of building up
such party, would reflect that the present un.
happy discussions which district the country
have grown solely out of violation on the pa
Of Congress Of the rights of the States and that
the preservation Of these ia the best, the only
preservative of the Union, they mi ght spare them
selves the labor, we might say the sin, of manu.
featuring party whose most prominent feature
looks and leads to consolidation.
The old Federalsts Of the country are, with
ont doubt the prime movers of this project,
and they will all constitute members of the
party. Its tendency is to the accomplishment of
their long cherished doctrines-the doctrines of
centrally, or the erection Of one strong central
government ont Of the whole Union, obIitcrat-
ing State rights, State sovereignty, and State in
dependence.
1t benooves the friends of State rights and
c institutional liberty TO be on the alert. They
cannot be too vgilant in the present state OF
affairs. Under the guse of Union devotion
nm insidious attack is to be made upon the great
conservative features of the Constitution, but
for which our forefathers would have scorned to
enter the Confederacy.
