Since writing you last. have taken day
to inquire into the course Of events. in the
Political arena. Thingsarc c,ltainlv in great
confusion, and the individual who can pre-
dict the result Of the approaching election fo,
charter officers will cn,tle himself to a news
parcr monument. The struggle, long, pain.

liam b. Rcd, attorney General and his adhc-
rents to "rerire The Wing Party" in plain
English, to divide the American forces. has
endc, i'll despair. That gentlemen at the last
meeting Of the whig delegates read a long
address in which he, and by adoption, they
complained. that they could not succeed in
placing ticket in the field and ended by
recommending the wings to vote against the
present party. The sum Of thisi> that obey

American movement. N'mpo,tc The

The Democracy are active but far from con-

reception, the ovation, ! should say Of the
Hon. James Buchanan. The committee ap-
pointed by the sc!f assembled Getting to re-
ceivc this good old locoroco who did declare
"M@ i he MouqM he had one drop Of Demo-

of the hybrid kind, a part were mostly office
holders from the loco ranks, another part
were of the abolition stamp third were de-
scrters from the old whig party, who sought
i'll the hour of detection to sail into power
under the breeze which waited James TO his
home. The new converts far cXccllcd the
veteran locos in zeal and Glamour. The
rank and file of democracy are disgustcd with
the gentleman who draws around him the de-

Washington think of taking him to task Cor

first instance.
All thouehtfulmcn await the meeting of
the convention of the sccelcrs which ASSEM-
blcs here in June, with considerable solicitule.
There are among the delegates men of patri-
otiSm talent and influence. 1t is generally
thought in well informed circles here that
Mr.. Fillmore will not stand as a candidate,
Notwithstanding Mr.. Kennedy s assertion to
the contrary. Should he decline the rcas-
sembling of both wings of the February con
venllon at the same time may indeed wW
lead TO a reconciliation. III this event the
nominee of the June Convention may be con,
sidercd as elected from the moment Of his
nomination. Mr.. Fillmore is to be home in
May with view of acting in the premises IN
such manner as may afford the American
party an opportunity of polling its entire
strength either on himself or another as cir
cumStances may require Should the June
nominate another candidate whilst
Mr.. f. is in the field, a new move will he made
which am not at liberty to explain at pres
ent, by which ali election by the people will
be rendered impracticable. This will leave
the matter in the hands of Congress. What
will be the result of this state Of affairs.

In amuscmcnts there is nothing here wor-
