NEWS OF THE DAY.
The Political Field.

IL seems VIC arc 10 nave u SIX III huSu AShU
for President and Vice President this year.
The National Americans" first brought out
Willard Fillmore and Andrew J. Dcnelson.
The National Democrats" next nominated
James Buchanan and John G.. Breckenridge.
The "Abolitionists" have agreed upon Ger
rift Smith and somebody else, we don't re-
member who. The American Republicans"
have nominated Speaker Banks, and Ex-Gov.
Johnson, of Pa. ; and a portion of the same
Convention seeded and nominated COmmo-
dore Stockton, of New Jersey, and Kenneth
Rayner of North Carolina; and the "Black
Republicans have brought out Col. Fremont.
As the Petersburg Intelligencer remarks
we cannot for one moment believe that Mr..
Rayner's name was used with his knowledge
or consent, nor do we doubt that he will, as
soon as appraised of his nomination by these
people for the Vice Presidency, promptly for
bid the use of his name in furtherance of
the objects indicated. He owes it to himself
AYE, more than that, to his own State, to
the whole South and The entire Union, to
pursue this course promptly.
We hope that ticket will prevail that will
be most conducive to the rights and interests
Of the South and of the whole Union, which
ever it may be.
A gentleman who arrived from the North
in this City on Thursday evening, informs us
that the Convention have nominated FRE-
MONT for the Presidency, and Ex-Gov. JOHN
sToN for the Vice Presidency-the name of
Banks having been positively withdrawn.

The announcement of the dismissal of Mr..
Champion had appeared in the LONDON pa
i. pers. 1t scarcely affected the funds. There
was mnch talk on the American difficulty,
but nothing but talk.
The news mostly relates to the American
! difficulties. The arrival of the Atlantic at
il Liverpool was anxiously awaited. 1t was
~ expected that Mr.. Champion was q passenger
80 and considerable relief was felt on learning
40 that he was not.
II The Morning post caused considerable ex-
n. citement by an editorial announcement that
rk the United States government had actually
is dismissed Mr.. Champion and that he had
gone to Toronto. The Globe and other jour
nails Immediately contradicted the st4temen
as merely random gossip among the passen
gers by the Atlantic.
I'm The succeeding evening DIsraeli put tn
question direct to Lord Palmerston who mad
a shutting reply to the effect that he under
I" stood so from an indirect source, but tina
en- Mr.. Champion not having said so himself, h
u CPalmerston) had no statement to make.
10 In the House Of Lords Earl Hardwick pu
IL a similar question to Earl Granville, who re
~ pied that the government had no informatio
w. on the subject.
ly The Paris correspondent of the Londo
Morning Post writes that the French Goveri
~, ment had used every effort to remove til
,on unhappy complications which have led
suspension Of diplomatic relations betwee
y? England and America, that the Emperor wi
y continue to exercise his good Office in Il
same spirit Of. reconciliation, but should tt
two nations actually engage in war, I
ute doubt England may reckon upon her acti1
alliance.
