FROM PHILADELPHIA.

From Our Own Correspondent
PHILADELPHIA, March %, 1853
Every recent move on the political chessboard is
ominous of ali impending checkmate to Democracy.
Last week the entire Opposition of this city, repre-
sent.d by two COnyentionS-one American, the
other the Peope's-assembed in separate halls, but
at the same hour of the same day, to nominate
MAY or and other city officers. The American Conven-
ton nominated first, and selected Alex. Henry 70
Msyor, after which they completed their ticket. TO
all these nominations the Peoples Convention re-
81 ,nded with wonderful unsnimity BY adopting the
e, tire ticket. So complete harmony OF the Up
position was net generally anticipated but it ap-
pears to be very cordial and is not likely to be dis
turbed by any dangerous boiling. The Peoples
Convention represented the great Republican party
of this city, and embraced in its programme every
fragment Of the Opposition not specifically pledged
to Americanism. 1t is not doubted that the
nominees thus agreed on will all be elected and
Mayor chosen Tor three years untainted by the
Democracy of the present incumbent. The action
of the Americans in Congress who came ND so man.
fully TO sustain the Republican opposition 10 Le-
compton. has had the happiest effect on public seuti-
ment here, and gone far toward cementipe a union
which shows every indication of being lasting
one. L learn from various portions OF New-Jersey
that similar feeling OF fraternity is growing up
there also. ClawSon and Robbins, both members
of the House from that State, are both Americans.
and throughout the whole Kansas contest they have
uniformly given to the Republican cause firm sup
port Ii is evident that old asperites dying out
and new feeling of cordial cooperation taking its
place This feeling must continue to increase IN
strength and ultimately become universal, if the
dopmatism Of former times can be avoided. The
Democrats Sc and acknowledge that vast revou-
ton is impending. But they are powerless to pre-
vent it, Bound down as they ac to sustain the
measuIes Of Mr. buchanan, as the condition oi re-

Reel estate begins once more 10 show signs of ar

ginning to appear in Wholesale quarters and our
dealers are quite encouraged 10 hope that better
Spring trade will yet BE- done than was anticipated.
Credits are decidedly shortened. Cotton goods are
stfening in price, but the manufacturers complain
that cotton is too high for them But the falling
