Presidential and Political.

The presidential cauldron begins to simmer
and bubble considerably, The variety Of the
political elements, and the uncertainty which
hangs over the issue, add to the commotion.
One National Convention is now in session.

council since June last, commenced at
Philadelphia on the 18th. How fully the
North is represented in it, is not as yet an
nouncel One State council at least, CHAT
Of y Iampshire) declined to send delegates.
The proceedings will be important, and
will have wide influence upon the chardct-

decide under what colors the American party
will engage in that contest,

convention meets, 1t il called to nominate
candidates for president and wee president,
/ but it is thought probable Chat 1t viii adjourn
over to June or July, without doing it.
/ The National organ Of the Party at Wo'i

On the 22d, also, the informal National Con-
yention of Republicans is to be held at Pitts
burgh. This is intended purely as u meet
ing for consultation ard organization. Il vi,
probably be an assemblage OF able and IN
Auential men. The direct result of 1t vii
most likely be the issuing cf a call for Ma
