NEW York HERALD, FRIDAY, JUNE q, 1866.

IN NV OhA AG1kh1AXJ,
Henry A. Wise was distinctly indicated as the
lemocratic champion for 1866. We have
housh too that the courage and consistency

place on the ticket but however that may
be, the only /" live candidate of she democracy
At this day-a candidate with backbone that
"a lot broken-is Henry A Wise.
We next come to tee champion of the Knaw

IDENTIFY the man. With the rapid progress and
OF che Know Notbings during
the past year, quite number of old togy
aspirants have offered them their services
for the sucCe ssson-Millaro Fillmore, General
Sam Houston, Garrett Davis Of Kentucky,
Commodore Stockton, Kenneth Rayner aud
others Bat here, also, late eveats have over
ruled all the old fogy estimates, and brought
new man, with q sound backbone, into the
front. 'sSLive Oak George Law" is that man.
Since the first movement of the Penasy lvania
legislature down to the adjournment Of the
late National Council at Philadelphia, be has
bt en- gathering strength on every side. Two
thirds OF the delegates Of this late Council were
in his favor, representing all sections of the
Union.
Since the adjournment of this Council, the
numbers of intelligent men of this new Ameri-
can party, from the North, Souuh East and
West, that have thropged the parlors of Live
Oak George" from day to day, rain or shine,
&c vxoh1o II,
have been perfectly surprising. And they all
say that he is the man-that his general intelli-
gence and administrative talents cannot be ques-
tioned-that he has more Of the solid good sense,
pluck, independence, and nerve OF Old Hickory
than almost any other man they have ever
seen-that he is he very man for new al
ministration, and b, I'd, straightforward honest
and fearless Americas policy; and that he must
and shall be the national American nominee in
1856. They say that it - due to the conser-
vatives of New York-due to our substantial
American interests due to the mechanics and
working men of the Union, and IN. to the
peace Of the country, that "Live Oak George"
should have the American nomination.
These vititers ut Mr.. Laws residences also
say that it is great mistake to suppose that
because he has become rich from his 'Alents
and industry, his mind is of the contracted,
money grasping calibre of that Of the late John
Jacob Astor or the late Stephen Girard. He
is, they declare, altogether different sort Of a
mana man of liberal sentiments, enlarged
ideas, and conversant, to most extraordinary
extent, with the politicians and politics of the
last twenty years; that his perceptions of the
merits and peculiar qualities of other men are
wonderfully quick and accurate; and that just
such man is wanted to fill correctly the
thirty thousand offices of the federal govern
ment. Concluding, then, that Live Oak
George" is the inevitable nominee of the Anne
rican party, we pass next to- the great North
ern Holy Anti Slavery Alliance.
Here, from the pressure of these recent
events, W. a. Seward, as the champion of his
party, comes into the same bold relief as Henry
q mixed commission of all the odds and ends of
the anti.slavery agitation, and all the isms and
beresies of the North. Last fall, upon the basis
of the Nebraska bill, q deliberate attempt was
made to fuse the people of all parties opposed
to that measure in great Seward or
gaDization, to be called the republican party.
But, from the powerful diversion of the
new American party in q more con-
servative direction, this seditious Seward move
ment Of last September was failure. Since
bis re election to the Senate, however, and since
the Virginia election and the late Philadelphia
Council, new impulse has been given to the
Seward programme. That curious Know Some
thing anti slavery gathering at Cleveland, upon
the heels of the Philadelphia Council, particu-
larry warns us that Seward is the aati.slavery
favorite. They did lot nominate him at Cieve-
