rae Next Presidential contest.

There can no longer be any doubt that GER
tain politicians have on foot a scheme for the
organization of new political party prepara-
tory to the presidential contest of 1860. Sew
era of the opposition journals have from time
10 time let fall vague hints that such was the
case: a republican member of Congress indl-
Gated il pretty clearly in speech in the House
a few weeks since: and the Times and Tr-
bnne, emholdenpd, 10 doubt, By what they
profes to believes an irreparable breach in
the democratic party, have openly advocated
it in their columns. In alludins briefly to
some of these evidences of fusion few DAYS
since. we stated that tho new organization
would be composed of the entire black-repnb-
lican partr. few southern know-nothings and
the dsatIected democrats. lis leading spirit
and managers-in- chief will be Messrs Seward,
Douglas and CrItenGen and though the plat
form upon which the different elements that
are to compose the fusion will unite and go be-
fore the country is not yet definitely agreed
unon. pretty correct idea may be formed of
what its complexion will be from the polite al
characters of those who are to have most TO
do in framing it. Mr.. Seward considers the
Presidency and Congress as already secured
by reason of the prependerance Of the Free
States; and regarding the Supreme Court, as
he no doubt does, as the only obstacle to the
full Accomplishment of his purpose, he will
insist upon the remodelling Of that institution
as his strong plank in thenew platform. Judge
Douglas will be satisfied with the recognition
of popular sovereignty, as he now interprets ii,
and Mr.. Crittenden will content himself with
some slight modification Of the naturalization
laws. Upon this, or somewhat similar plat
form, the new organization will be framed and
| go into the canvass of 1S60.-Union.
