EoiToR or THE FREE Press -
The details Of the election that came off on Tues
day. IN this city, have OF course reached you through
other channels. viii therefore confine myself to
stating that the Wings have been beacn-not by the
hocoiocos, but by discussions among themselves.
II Is not yet known in the City, how the State mas
gone On the whole, am glad OF this defeat, which
WILL II we prolt by it, serve only to make us act
umtedIy, hencetorlh, and put presidential cand
d'te IN the White House, by triumphant majority.
lhs defeat, say, will teach us that the Locofoco
party have now dropped all sectional feeng-that
nUnkers and Barnburners exist only in name, and
that they Will fight against us, with an undivided
'front.' during the next presidential campaign. Let
u, then, drop all such rant sinctons as Union
men, Woody heads" &c, and treat that Wing
ms raIor who rev ives them, until after the presi-
Dental election. The Union Committee of Safety
Is, in my opinion, grand humbug committee, got
up under the auspices Of the Journal Of Commerce,
the most inyecrate Locoioco paper in tho Union for
the purpose of BeatLg the Wing party-that being
the only means according to that ourna) of saving
the Union.
The movements of the Locoiocos, respecting the
next Presidency, are unusually mysterious Their
different cIqucs working underground in all d.
. rectons, like so many moes. Occasionally, one Of
these burrowers thrusts his snout through the soil
ana betray5 his wheret bouts but, in general the
dirty creatures shrink from the light General iIous-
ton, take it, has been etiectuay killed Off by the
Donaldson and Greer Correspondence" lie de
served it, and am glad fit. II would be too rriev-
Gus load, even tor the sacred conscience of Loco
l)colsm to put Sam in nomination for the Chief Mag
lStrncy OF the Union-and too risky withal. A re-
cent interview between Bucanan and Marcy has
given the cue to some wlse-ncrcs Of the press to
start the idea that there is an ericne cordiaie be-
tween these two ex-members OF Folks Cabinet The
truth Is however that there are two personages
whose names have been suggested for the Locoioco-
nomination, whose interests are 50 diverse. Marcy
Is the shrewdcst, and by far the abes man of the
two and may possibly have been able 10 deceive
Buchanan as to his Intended course but that he has
any notion OF holding the srrups while "Pennsylva-
mas tavorite son" mounts the Locofocn nag for the
next Presidential race, is altogether untrue. The
chances are, that Marcy himself will be the regular
| Locooco candidate for the White House nowith-
standing the State OF New y uri was once taxed fiji
ty cents to pay tor patching his breeches say this.
OF course, on the presumption that there will be
Na,iona! Convention OF his party. Chalk it on the
crown OF your hat, and fit does not come true will
buy you new one. Marcy will be backed by the
unanimous vote OF the New York delegation and
that Will secure HIM the nomination. He is the on
ly man who can receive the joint support of the Hun
ker> and OF the Barnburners.
Speaking OF National Conventions, | see the Free
Sellers are going to hold one, shortly. They expect
| to have delegates present from Maryland, Delaware
Virginia, Kentucky, Missouri, and all the Free
States. Whether their expectations will be realized,
or no., however time alone can determine.
Mr.. Calhoun's work on tn, American Govern
ment has at length been published. Price, two dol
lars and fifty cents. | think Mr.. Dallas must have
had peep at it. before he wrote that letter, at
Schooel's Mountain in which he attributed all the
political troubles OF the country to the Of the
word Nation" instead OF Onion" Mr.. Calhoun
devoes sixty pages OF his book to prove, that
not Nation. but a Federal Union OF States, each
OF which has the reserved right TO withdraw, when
ever II p.cases. Is II not itte singular that the
word "Fcdera,' which this school OF politicians lay
so much stress upon, not to be found in the Const-
tuition Mr.. Cahouns fame a statesman, will be
materially affected by this crude and extravasant
publication.
Congress will open at Washington, in a little over
three weeks from the present time. The Speaker
and Clerk will of course be Locoocos out hope
! the Wings will endeayor, if there two Locooco
candidates for each office that the least of the
! two evils is chosen. Linn Boyd, of Kentucky, is
probably the most likely man to be Speaker; and
John W. Foruey OF Philadelphia, viii make another
bold push tor the Clerkshp. Forney is desperate
politician, OF the lowest cas- and 1t would be dis
grnc" 10 Congress TO erct him. You may Judge OF
MS drc'ncy, when tell you that at a recent meet
