every material OF strife within the Union comes into
play and all chaos is set loose on the approach OF the
great act OF the revolving drama Of American fe-the
election Of the President New all the forces OF the po
tica hemisphere array themselves and parties and dv
sions of parties, snd subdivisions Of divisions, and
crossdivsons and combinations In and out, form and
reform one is tried and won't do aud ano-

Is exhausted every experiment tried the changes OF the
kaleidoscope spent and the storm dies out with the
finale Of the President First in political importance

These az our New York contemporary says, notwith
standing their bloody rows DIVERS bowie knives and
and qrarrels, rally like band Of brothers upon com

which have been, we are told, augmented under our
Pierce administration to the magnificent democratic figure
OF one hundred million (dollars year" These have
chosen their man in Mr. Buchanan Then comes strn,
Of parties and factions that want to unite in opposition
to the democrats upon some other man. but have
yet been able First there the pro slavery Know
Nothngs, with their ticket of Fillmore and Donel.
Second, there the antslavery Know Notings,
who are to determine Ia general convention on the 18th
where they are to CO. Third, the niger worshppers
proper, who hold their nominating convention at Phi
dcpha on the 18th. lastly, there the radical abo

The opposition side, thea TO the democratic appears
TO consist OF two main partcs-one a patriotic re-
gious party the other Phiianthropc religious party
The know Nothings' take the genuine Yankee, as
opposed to the emgran; they afraid OF the former
element being absorbed in the rapid growth of the
new citizen population which every day brings over
from the Old World and large proportion OF this
being from Ireland, the opposition to the cmigrant
el.lhent Is materially combined with apprehension Of
ever suffer, as party, from the gr at dividing question
Of slavery, and arc split up into pro-slayery Know
Know Nothing party. The other, or the phanhropc
gous party the anti slavery one; and this appears
aboitonists and another and moderate section.
On first survey Of the field then, and lrimd focie
comparison OF forces, our New York contemporary ex-
poets every one TO anticipate that the united democratic
party WILL against sucn conflicting elements have nothing
10 do but TO walk over the course, and walk into the
oaves and fishes without resistance But closer view,
lac thinks, this certain expectation and makes
the istue more doubtful. The National Council OF the
Know Nothings has indeed been wasting tmo in discuss
ing rituals passwords signs, grips wiuks and binks,
and such pieposterous rubbish; and the first day
sion was only attended by Southern men. The Northern
men, however, attended the second meeting and the at
tendance mas been ever since shsaafy phnctua among
the brethren earnest AID solemn Ike that OF the poor
jews IN their sanhedrim when their doomed Jerusalem
was beleaguered by Titus.
sTwo lines Of action then have been before this Council
and undergone IL consideration. The first Is that shelly
ing Fillmore and Bonc~ou. This line observes our
temporary, has it, advantages Tor might be possible,
PERHAPS 10 lind some third nominee who While not
,bie, tio,hle H. ssthe south would b. more peasng 10
''the loith'-some heNible anti Niger driving ticket
upon wh' all 'Norhern opposition would be- fused
some combination ticket which would unite pro
slavery Know Nothings anti slavery Know Nohngs, and
Niger worshipper, 10 the end OF dead set against the
nigser driving Democracy from stem to stern The
second line of policy discussed by the Council has been
that Of retaining Mr.. Fillmore as the nominee upon the
merits Of "hs concinory aud peace preserving ocign
policy, In opposition TO the rampant hlb.terng rocvi
ties o. III. loose democracy" As our contemporary
thinks the subject and weighs the different materials
Of support and opposition ne evidently inclines to the
latter puicy:-"i 1T a compound opposition ticket be
adopted in the North and carry all the Northern states
but two three and all that will be required for Mr
Fillmore IN the South will be TO the states OF Della
ware, Maryland, Kentucky, and Tennessee.
Such appears TO be the materials OF the approaching
contest Tor Tho American Presidency. On the hand
are tho democrats who appear contrary TO our ssoca-
tans with this aty name In this country to have form
ed an alliance with slavery, and 30 to have woa the
name OF 'pgger drivers on tho other hand is tho old
genuine Yankee blood, with ia hatred and contempt OF
the engrant and Romanst and the antislavcry cause
Dir Buchanan 10 the nominee OF the former party, while
the opposition Is compelled IN order 10 conciste tho
SOUTH to moderate IL hatred slavery and choose Mr.
Fillmore las saving compromise bet ween Niger wor-
