The dispute in the Know Nothing lodges is
between Messrs Drake. J. N. Barker, Harper
aud Brewer. We announced some days since
that the last named gentlemal vas f,llower

cause Mr.. Brewer did not vote for Seward 10

time; and, en- PEASANT, we may say that it is
exceedingly difficult to find Seward whig in

The programme for Congressional nomina
tions is fast filling up. In the Third district,
(wards First, Second, Third, Fifth and Eighty
now represented by Hiram Walhgidge, Alexan-
der II. Shultz, Seward james 81. Welsh, The
odore A. Ward, and Willis Blackstone, (native,)
have been mentioned by the wings. Mr.. Wal
bridge will be candidate for reelection. In
the Eighth district, (wards Twelfth, Eighteenth,
Nineteenth, Twenty-Five and Twenty-second,)
the wings have under consideration Abram
Wakeman, A. c. Kingsland, and Erastus
Brooks. Wakeman's stock is good.
Such is brief review and muster Of the
forces. Speculation upon results at this time
is utterly useless, as the strength and inten-
tons Of the new organizations (native aud
temperaEce,) cannot be correctly estimated.
A quarrel among the Know Nothings or split
in the temperance ranks would be god-send
to the democrats just now.
THE CUBAN CELEBRATION To-DAY.--The third
anniversary Of the death Of Gen. Narcisso
Lopez will be celebrated this evening at the
Chinese Assembly Rooms, by our Cuban
fellow citizens. Democrats Of oil nations arc
invited to attend, and the French, Italian, Ger
man, Polish, and Hungarian societies will be
fully represented there. Several distinguished
speakers, foreigners and Americans, are ex-
pected to address the assembly; and the cere-
mony altogether, we have no doubt, will pass
off with more than usual interest.
But though we admire the enthusiasm which
would perpetuate the rcmemb. ance Of great
men and true patriots like Lopez, it does seem to
us that the dearest wish of the Cuban mind is as
far or its accomplishment as ever. The political
aspect Of the sceinpre feel isla has remained
unchanged during the last three years. The
power Of the opressor has increased, while the
power Of the oppressed has rather diminished.
Fiibusteros still exists in this country: but their
designs upon the leland are ill,judged, vague,
l~ls. T.
