New York democratic Ticket.

A correspondent of the n. Y. Express, wri-
Ting from Albany, on the 9Th, speculates as
follows in regard to the action of the Cincin
nat Convention:
Although Buck" will go into Convention
backed by all the power Pennsylvania can
WELD, he will stand in need of much addition
al strenth to enable him To succeed. 1t he has
advantage through friends and the advantage
of position, he will also encounter the draw
back of determined enemies. Pierce and
Douglas will both be in the field, and if they
can do no more they can prevent the nomina
tion of any otter Northern man. This is and
will be feature in the struggle. Failing to
succeed themselves, any further than in upset
ling each other, Pierce aud Douglas will not
oe unlikely IL combine To produce a nOmIna-
tinn after their own fashion. And in this they
will probably have the corporation of New
To'k, 0he admitted Soft DelrgatesO whose
">iate" Is understood to be already made up.
And it is this: For President, Mr.. Guthrie, OF
the Treasury, for Vice President, Ex-Gov-
rrnor Seymour, of New York. 1t was ON
this basis the atlas and Argus were recently
united. This is the ticket, many who watch
well the "eigns of The times" confidently pre-
diet, will be the result of the Cincinnati Con
veutlOn.

Virginia..

The American nominee is more than ac-
ceptable to the American party in the Old
Dominion. We find the following in the
Richmond Wing Of last week:
We take pleasure in citing the fact that me
Petersburg lnlelligencer and the Lynchburg
Nirginian, both nncomFromising Southern
Rights papers, and whose views on the subject
Of slavery SO thoroughly coincide with our
own, have nailed the flag of MILLAED FILL
MORE to heir mast heads, and Pledge them
selves to exert all their power aud energy to
secure his triumphant election. We believe
all the Wing and American papers of the State,
without exception, will be found to be more
than satisfied with the nomination of that
true and tried patriot and statesman, and will
enter upon the work of the canvass with un-
usual diligence and zeal.

Our TN irip IAffdirs.

Under the apprehension that quite
number of our citizens are unacquainted
with the operations Of our municipal gov
ernment, and that they, perhaps, totally
fail to acquaiut themselves with the opera
tons of the machinery which works the
body corporate Of this city, it is thought
that a series Of short papers in relation to
our internal affairs may not prove unlntcr-
eSting to them, nor unacceptable even t"
the general reader.
Every man in the government should
make himself acquainted with the opera
ton and policy Of the government under
which he llves-General, State and NUM-
cipal Every form Of government is simply
a system of agencies, and officers of govern
ment merely act as trustees for the commu-
nifty at large Therefore, the people COM
posing the community or government should
keep watchful eye on their agents and
servants. Money collected by taxation,
for purposes Of general good, should be
properly expended, and it is the duty, as
well as the privilege, of the payor to keep
himself informed as to the disposition made
of his means. And whilst it is the citizens
duty to watch over the manner in which
the public money is expended, it is no less
his bounden duty to contribute cheerfully
and literally for every purpose required by
the public good" These truths are the
simplest ideas of political economy.
The points proposed to be discussed will
be in the following order, to wit:
L. The Water Works, embracing the
whole subject, past, present and prospec-
tive.
2. Our Public School System
3. The Public Debt of the Corporation.
f. Taxation.
5. The means of the City-its solvency,
&c.
g. Conclusion-Nashvile in the future.
These questions will be presented in as
brief manner as possible, and it is to be
hoped that they may gain the attention of
the people of this city. 1t is highly prob
able that some of our old citizenS-thOse
who ruled the deStnieS of the city ten,
twenty aud thirty years agO-pOsSess even
more information than it is possible for US
to obtain. But such information is con-
fined to a limited number of persons, while
large portion of our citizens do not even
pretend to be posted up" in municipal af-
fairs. Hence the apology for making, as
far as practicable, an exhibit of these az
fairs. The absence Of statistics and detail
ed reports is seriously felt, and prevents
that clear and comprehensive collection of
facts so desirable. Nevertheless, q toera-
bly, correct general idea Of the past man
agement of affairs can be given from sour
ceS of information at hand. And if errors
and mistakes should unavoidably occur, we
will cheerfully correct them, when pointed
out.
Thus much by way of an Introduction.
The first number of the series will appear
tomorrow.
