PoLITIcs.-As things are now going on in
what are called, par excellence, the Free States,
there will be call for Monthly Register, to
make known for general information, the
constantly occurring divisions and sub-divis-
ions ofparties, with their positions and names
respectively. In New York, for the want of
some such enlightenment, none but the
thoroughly initiated politician can hope to be
informed who's who, and what's what, in
politics and the Baltimore Patriot saws truly,
that the election Inspectors in that State will
have right hard time of it in making ur
their returns of the November elections
There will be tickets enough to suit every
shade of opinion, amounting in the aggregate
to bakers dozen. Among the other splits

Know Nothings also. Those in the keden
try are not pleased with the action of thei
brethren in the metropolis, and have deter
mined to call a convention and make new
nomination.

Gus questions of civil. common, international,
constitutional, commercial, and municipal law,
which have arisen in the course of the admins,
tration of the government, and bearing, as they
do upon nearly every subject of civil polity and
jurisdiction, il necessarily follows that they are
scarcely inferior in Importance TO the Constitution
which they defend, and the laws which they ex-
plain They not only set forth the political econo-
my and fundamental principles Of the federal gov
eminent, and the rules and regulations enforced
in its administration, but they also define the
powers and duties, and, in many Instances, the
compensation of its civil and military officers
The subjects of national sovereignty, neutrality
extradition. &c, are therein thoroughly discussed
and our revenue laws, land laws, patent laws
pension laws, &c., commented upon and ex-
planned. il is, therefore, believed that public

veyors Of porls naval officers, receivers of public
moneys, registers of land Offices, Indian agents
