In The last few days, according 70 the best iufof-
nation, tho wings have walked up with . sudden
bound, and are actively engaged in canvassing for
the candidates. 1t seems that the friends Of Pres-
dent Fillmore have at last induced him to stand
the hazard Of the die, and become candidate be-
fore the slaughter house, of Philadelphia. This is
rather IN important move at this moment, and it
will undoubtedly have very distinct bearing upon
the chances both Of Webster and Scott. The in
cumbent Of the White House can exert great
deal of forse-outside inHuence-on the slaughter
house; and If he cannot get the nomination him
self, he can give IN impulse to some one of the
aspiring candidates II has been distinctly stated
that Mr.. Clay has declared in favor Of MI. Fillmore
This We suppose, about % correct as the recent
statement that he was in favor Of Cass. For our
own part, We have no doubt that the venerable
Sage Of Ashland is opposed to all those old Mexi-
can generals, on the principles that he has avowed
through the whole Of his political life. 1t is also
probable that he viii give bis voice in favor
Of Webster, who, during the last twenty years, has
played him one or two scurvy tricks in political
matters. We learn, also, that Fillmore has much
more strength, and creates more confidence among
Southern wings, than Webster or Scott. In fast,
the reputation Of the hero Of Lundy's L ,ne, being
o candidate Of w. H. Seward, s gradually wearing
away every nch Of his popularity, not only in his
native Stste Virginia, bat alloverthe South. The
support of Mr.. Seward has the same effect upon &C.
neral Scotts prospects among the Wing party IL the
south, that the aid of Van Barren and his friends
hiss upon the chances Of General Butler, Of Ken
lucky, among the other party. The influence Of
both will probably, however, neutralize one another,
ike the alkali ard the acid in seidiitE powder,
which having an affinity for each other produce,
when mingled, o momentary eferyescence, that
causes some gas to escape. and then leaves very
nauseous draught behind.
These underground movements in Washington
will undoubtedly result in terrible erupsions in
Congress or the cabinet-we know not which. We
would cot be surprised if Webster seCedes from the
cabinet, and that awful investigation takes place
in reference to his connection with the payment of
the Mexican indemnity and some Of the awards of
the Mexican claims. In truth, Fillmore is deter.
mined to cut clear Of Galphinism aud all those con-
germs previous to going into the "Grand Slaughter
House." AS to the time that interesting reunion
will take place, it is not yet determined Oh. But
the butchers will soon meet in Washington, and
finally fix a day for the wing bu!l6ght in PhiIa-
dellhia.
