MOVEMENT FOR THE PREsIDENcY.-We are
enabled to inform the Albany Argus that a
private meeting of the officials holding place
under the Administration has been held in this
CITY, within few days, at which il was resol-
we'd that every means should be used to pro-
mote the candidacy of the Hon. William l..
Marcy, for the Presidency at the next National
Convention. i. In copying this information in-
to its columns we especially desire the Argus
shall not omit to mention that, contrary to the
universal expectation among Democrats, this
private meeting Of MIR. Marcy's friends passed
no resolutions against Know Nothingism, and
took no steps whatever to bring a" union ot
the party" We know that the Argxs will
express its deep regret at these circumstances.

OF The election of the New Hampshire U.
S. Senators is attended by singular clrcum-
stances. Since the expiration Of Mr.. Hale's
first term in the Senate on the 4th of March,
1855, the Legislature of the State has been
unable to effect a choice until now. In the
meantime, the Office has been filled by appoint
ment of the Governor,by Jared w. Williams,
Democrat. Mr.. Hale now returns to the
Senate to occupy the same place he formerly
filled, and in the midst Of a slavery excitement
quite as violent as that which characterized
the latter part of his former term. He is elect
ed, too, on principles directly antagonistic to
those of the President taken from New Hamp-
sire, and whose influence was supposed to be
paramount there. Mr.. Hale's term extends to
The 4th of March, 1851. The two Democratic
Senators who were the predecessors of Messrs.
Hale and Bell voted for the Nebraska bill which
measure has caused the change in the politics
of New Hampshire. s..
