ing and perhaps reliable:
"The papers will have posted You fully
in reference to the various Conventions
going on, IL you cure to know anything
about them. One is held at Syracuse to-
day BLACK Republican, and two at
Trenton, New Jersey, Tone Black Re-
publican and the other American.) 1t
looks to me very much as if the Demo-
cratic party would succeed in every State
where the Americans refuse to coalcsce
with Black Republicans! 1t is a bad omen
for the Presidential success of Seward
In fact, it is now beyond a doubt that n
Southern opposition National Party, will,
in conjunction with a Northern Oppose
ton, hold q Convention, and nominate Il
President and Vice President. IL they
select w. G. Rives. j. J. Crittenlen, John
Bell, or some honorcd old Wing names,
the chances of National victory are de-
cidcdly in their favor. The New Party
will prevent Seward. or any, ohcr- Black
Republican being elected by the people
So it will also prevent the election of
the Democratic candidate. If Rives, or
whoever is the Wing candidate. Is not
elected by the people lac will have votes
enough to carry him into the House of
Representatives as one of the three highest
names. In the House, Tennessee and
Maryland with one vote each, and North
Carolina and Kentucky each a tie. and
shut out, there can be no election by
either Democrats or Black Republicans,
and if President is elected at all, it must
be by other States coming over and vo-
ting for the Wing candidate. Set this
down as a prophecy that will be fulfilled.
Mr. Buchanan is at the Soldiers Home
near Washington. lie scnffor James G.
Bennett Of this city, short time ago
The editor went on to Washington, and
for several days was the honored guest of
the President. 1t is pretty well under
stood that the object of this visit is, that
the President could consult fully and
freely with the experienced veteran New
York editor, upon the complicated
foreign affairs of the country, and also to
obtain the views of Mr.. Bennett upon
the domestic policy which the admins
tration should pursue in order to save
the country from anarchy, and the Dem
ocratic party from utter destruction. 1t
is well known that Mr.. Bennett is in IA
vor of denomination of President Bll-
chanan at Charleston, and he has that
confidence in the power of the Herald,
that he is enablcdsay to Mr.. Buchanan in
advance, that lie will be nominated. -
Immediately on the return of Bennett,
he will put the Herald in position to act
rs Drill Sergeant to the Democraticpr press
of the United States. 1t is confidently
asserted that if Mr. buchanan cannot be
re-nominated, the Herald and the admin
istration are to unite Their respective
powers, and give the Charleston Demo
cratic nomination To General Ilouston.-
We have reliable Intelligence that the
ex-senator and Governor elect of Texas.
has been sent for to come North. The
President made personal request to Mr..
Bennett, that he would unite and har-
monte the Democratic faction in this
city, by becoming the Democratic candi-
date for Mayor. Mr.. Bennett consented.
on condition that the Democracy of Tam
many IIali would endorse and nominate
him. This Mr.. Buchanan promised should
be done. and orders were sent to Isaac V.
Fowler to bring it about, at all hazards.
and to bring to bear the whole power of
the Federal Administration. Mr.. Ben
nett assured the President that Wood
would Withdraw rs "A candidate. and that
Mozart Hall would support him, thus
making Il complete Democratic union
Mr.. Buchanan is satisfied and so is Mr..
Bennett. An attempt will be made to
give the Mayoralty nomination to Mr..
Bennett. If it succeeds las ii may do. if
Mr. Bennett agrees before hand 10 dcrEpc
~ then, it is understood that II ''union"
shall be effected by the nomination of
Judge Russell, the alternate of Mr.. Ben
nett, and Mr.. Wood agrees also to de-
cline in the Judges favor. All the
schemes that have here alluded to, have
been canvasscd, discussed and agreed to
by many Democratic leaders, who mink
they own the great party. They may all
be upset, and the rank and file may re-
fuse to be bargained away in this fashion.
GEN. ScorT.-It will be seen by our tele-
graphic despatch from Washington that
the government has determined to send
the Great Paciiicator TO the Pacific.
When England trembled for her Indian
empire, that government sent for Sir Colin
Campbell, and asked him, will you take
command of the army in India?" Il
will" "When will you start ?" asked the
Minister. Tomorrow morning" replied
the ready chief. So, too, when the Presi-
dent suggested to General Scott the pro-
priety of sending to the northwestern ex-
treme Of our republic some one who was
less impetuous and more prudent than
General Harvey, the prompt old soldier

tons are ready" in making this selec-

toned sagacity. None could be sent on
such a mission of peace with more pro-
priety than General Scott, for his antece-
dents assure US that he will save the ef-
fusion ofblood and effect an amicable az
rangement of the snarl which the impetu-
Gus but gallant Harvey and the hot-head-
ed Douglas have got into.--N J. HTuH.
