There are some curinuS political StraWS float
ing in the wind, whirh are worth while submit
ting to + Merriam, Of Brooklyn Heights, since no
less philosopher will hardly venture to say
what they mean. Somc short time since conil-
dental Anti LcCOmptOn agent was sent to Penn
sylvania to see about and nrge on the Repubi-
can Party the reelection OF Montgomery and the
other Anti-Lecompton Democrats Of the Penn
Sylvania delegation, and it seems that he direc
ted his course to Philadelphia, where, luckily or
unluckily, he stumbled in at Forney's Wheth-
or or not he end cOnvCrSed with the famous
editor of the Press himself, is not stated; but he
did see Mr. Forney IS wife, who, 1t appears, has
mn inling Of politics. and let fall certain expires
sions which opened the confidential cmisSary' :
eyes, and set his susp;cions aSoing, that treas
on was contemplated He extended his inqu-
rieS, and became convinced of something which
quite altered his opinion as to the Propriety
aud policy of the Anti -Lecompton Democrats
aforesaid being supported for reelection by the
Republican Party, and he has accordingly come
back to Washington as bitter against that course
as he was jealous for it when he set ont. In
confirmation of his suspicious it il said that
though Fnrney's paper pretended to support the
Anti Lecompton candidate for Mayor, in the
cent municipal election. he actually voted for
Vaux, the straight Lecompton Democratic can
didate.
From all which, including the accidental ex.
preston of the lady politician alluded to, it is
gathered that negotiations on foot for the
turn Of Forney and his followers in Pennsylva-
nia,-in short, of the whole body Of the anti-Le
compton Democracy, from Douglas down,
the Democratic fold,-their reception by the
Administration, free andsrull pardon of past
trangreSsionS. &c, &c. In this connection. the
visit al Mr.. Douglas to New York is thought to
he significant II is surmiSed that his mission
Is TO arrange matters for MeSSrS Clark and Has
kin with the unteTritied, that is, to ascertain
and make sure before coming TO terms with the
Administration that Clark and lIaSkin will be
freely taken back into the bosom of TamInany,
that the arm of vengence shall be stayed aud
that they shall be duly Tenominated and sup.
ported tor reelection by the Democracy Of New
York and WcStcheSter. IL the SuppOSition is
well founded it Is very cTeditnble and pulitel ii
Mr.. Douglas. Like good captain lie refuses 10
make terms with Ihe enemy unless his men nrc
all included in the arrangement There seems
To be some reason, then, for the superstition that
grand Hank movement by which the little gi-
ant and all his followers shall resume the stGtU
ggO ante bsiium, mud take their places again
among the regular recognized Democracy, l. ac-
tnally on luUL Its success, of course, depends
upon several CONFERENCE.-The whether the
South will consent To take back the wanderers,
and next whether IhriDrnocracy OF the various
districts represented by them viii forgive and
forget.
There is iiItle doubt that the Administration
itself is privy the negotiations, If any such are
really going on. \ curious and edifying speeta-
Gle will he presented if they result in Leaiing mp

may thank themselves for the loss Of that great
addition 10 their strength which the cooperation
OF the large body Of nliLecompton Democrats
would have Afforded them The bitter hostility
