This hint has created some sensation among the
Jersey people; and the idea that there will be
any yielding on the point of ceding Sandy Hook
for quarantine purposes is most emphaticallv
snubbed in high quarters there. In his message,
just delivered, Governor Newell refers to Go
vernon Morgan's suggestion in this wise:--
The Executive Of New York, his recent message v
the Legislature Of that State expresses the hope that New
Jersey may yet be induced TO allow the New York Qua
rantine to be removed To Sandy Hook. committee q
last legislature after having thoroughly reviewed the
able report their emphatic and unqualified condemnaioa
This report was unanimously sustained by the Legislature
and their action has been cordially sanctioned bx Or
was extended TO the Commissioners who delegated
to present the application TO Legislature and the d.
again be made obtain for favorable consideration
But since determination does appear 70 have bees
do 50 with the highest Official and personal respect for the
chief magistrate Of New York; and with most sincere do
sire for the welfare Of the citizens Of that great State
that, IN my judgment, circumstances can possibly
arise which win induce the Legislature the people
OF New Jersey 70 give their that this unmgae1
nuisance shall be ever located within our borders.
This would seem to give quietus to all pro-
positions in favor of Sandy Hook; and after what
has already transpired with reference to that
locality, it would appear somewhat quixotic
to think of it at all, unless the general
government could be induced to give
us a right to build on their land at the
Hook. But while the site for the new
building is not yet decided upon, the fact that
the Quarantine is not to be re-established on
Staten Island may be taken for granted The
frmness of the residents there in their opposition
to such measure, the strong opinions expressed
by the Governor against it, and the common
sense and justice of the community generally,
sufficiently settle that question Meantime we
may expect much circumlocution and heavy
lobby work before the locality is finally agreed
upon.

FINAL SErrsxxsSr YEr.--The report Of the
United States Engineer, Captain Benham.
In favor Of erecting an island on Orchard
Shoals, and building thereon a new Quar-

the question Of the location OF quarantine was

will be brought 10 hear upon the subject, u Is
very difcult 10 tell what site may yet be liked

Governor Morgan. in his message, suggested
that the Legislature should appoint new com

port upon the whole question of Quarantine; and
be moreover very plainly intimatcs that some
prospects still remain OF obtaining Sandy Hook
for the purpose. Upon this point he said

The Spells Politicians of the Day, and Their
Presidential Movements

The first great duty of the American people is
to take the business Of the next Presidential
election into their own hands. regardless
Of party associations, party caucuses or
spoils and plumber jobbing party conventions.
During the last fifteen years, under our
managing party politicians, our governmental
affairs, Congressional, State and municipal have
rapidly sunk to that low ebb of immortality,
cupidity and corruption, from which the next
step must be spontaneous popular revolution,
or descent into chaos and anarchy. That de-
basng party maxim, first enunciated some
twenty odd years ago, that "to the victors be-
long the spoils," has become the absorbing.
controlling, absolute rule of action of our party
managers, from the party leader in Congress
down to his fugleman of the village caucus.
The lobby, originally consisting of few poverty
stricken old soldiers, asking for pensions. has
grown into the third estate of the government.
and the numerous gangs Of its luxuriously sup
piled dependents, which now swarm in the pur-
ieus Of the Capitol during the sittings of Con-
gress, will afford some idea of the spoliations
upon the treasury and the pockets of the people.
The worst of IL is that the list of the
founders of this rapacious lobby system includes
most of the leading chiefs of the corrupt
political parties of the day, and most,
II not all, Of their aspirants for the
Presidential succession. Thus, while slavery.
and the protection and expansion of slavery, are
made the bond of cohesion of the modern demo
cratic party and while hostility to the extension
and the protection of slavery are proclaimed as
the only basis of union of the republican party.
the real bond of union, with the one and the
other, is that which Mr.. Calhoun was wont to
stigmatise as the cohesive power of the
public plumber The miserable and disgusting
squabbles Of Tammauy Hall over the sp1ls Of

INCREASE WITHOUT MPRovExENr.-We see
that the Police Commissioners have re-
warded some two hundred tried and faithful po-
litical adherents with places in the force. Now
that they have increased the number of men to
the highest limit, perhaps they will endeavor to
improve the Department, by keeping all the Off
GERS and men to the strict line of their duties,
and simplifying the circumlocutory manner of
doing business at the central Office. With all the
faults of the old force IT was much more efficient
than the Metropolitan, and that with one-third
less numerical force, and proportionate reduc-
ton in expense. If we leave out some of the
tremendous efforts of the brilliant detectives, we
never should know we had police out of the
hotels and theatres, until our tax bills come in.

Of the nation. That he chcrishes the army VIC
know; but whether he has thus far sustained the
church from principle or from expediency we
do not know. His intimacy with Osollos, who
had no affection for priests, and looked upon
them only as his helpers into power, would lead
US to suppose that he has very little of an
abiding love for the church.

The PrOSnecIS.

Our readers will bear US witness that the UNION
AMI AMERICAN, from the first advent Of the Know
Nothing party has been able to possess itself of the
true sentiment of the State, and has stated this
sentiment with remarkable exaetness. We predict
ed the dcfeat of Know Nothipgism by Gov. JOHNSON,
in 1855, and gave the reasons of our belief
In 1856, the UNION AND AMERICAN, of 18th De-
tober, said:
/" How WILL TENNESSEE VoTEl AT the last elee-
ton, Gov. JoHKsoSs majority was upwards Of 2lOO
Our estimate of gains in the November election,
based on information from every section and almost
every county and taking The forrest reports in every
case, are as follows: la East Tennessee, HOO /;
Middle Teanesse, 1900; West Tennessee 900 Our
majority ia the State viii be about 6O00 These are
our private opinions, publicly expressed " .
The actual gain was, in East Tennessee 1899 in
Middle Tennessee, 1858; in West Tennessee, 1888 !;
and the majority was 1850. Had VIC taken the me-
dium between the highest and lowest reports then
before u.s. we should have estimated the gain within
$50 votes Of what it proved TO be. But knowing the
confidence placed in our estimates by our readers,
and determined, if erred at ALL to on the safe
side, we adopted the lowest figures.
In 1857, We claimed the election of HARRIS by
BUCHANAN's majority. We told our readers that it
danger Of a reduction was in falling off of the
vote from over confidence We succeeded in arous-
ing our political friends to cast an unexpectedly
large vote, and the result was an increased major
ity
We tell our readers now that our information from
all parts of the State is as full as it has ever been;
aud tell them also, that the only possible chance
of a reduction of HAnRIs's majority is in the idea
that, with IL, 500 majority in the State, matters
will take care of themselves, and in the trading Of
votes where there are duplicate Democratic candi-
dates for the Legislature and for Congress.
We place no reliance on the statements in the 0p.
position papers of the brilliant prospects of their
party. The same papers quite as confidently as
serted that FILLMORE aud HATroN would carry the
State, and considered the defeat of Johnson by
GENTRY an absolute certainty. Their files show
that they we're confident in 1856, 1856 and 1857,
as they are now.
We tell our friends that We have the ability to in
crease HARRIss majority. If the vote of the party
is pOlled the majority will be increased. We know
that Gov HARRIshss faithfully performed his dutyin
the canvass, and we believe tkst We have performed
ours. The one remaining duty to be performed,
without which ar others are unavaiing, remains to
be executed by the party-and that is TO VOTE, |
and to that the entire Democratic vote of the
State is polled.

Editors Union and american:
Thinking that a line from this portion Of the

readers, have thought proper to give you brief
account Of the pOliticsl movements of this and
some Of the adjoining counties.
I feel safe in saying HARRIs' msjority win be
materially increased over thelasi election I know
that every man in this county who votsd for him
last election viii support him in this, and know
several oldlins Wings who voted the entire Ameri-
can ticket before, who will now vote the Democratic
ticket.
Notwithstanding JNO. V. WRIGHT has an oppO-
aent. he viii receive the support Of many who
have voted with the Americans heretofore. The
people here do not like, aud sill not follow, the
leaders of a party who are changing their names,
and advocating different principles every one or
two years.
HALL, know Nothing oFpOsItiOu,) and MICKEY,
democrat are the candidates for the Senate, and
MoAULEY, know nothing OppositiOn,) and DAVID
SON. democrat are candidates Tor Representative.
MICKEY and DAVIDSON are wen t-ied Democrats,
and will unite the Democratic party in Benton and
Humphreys. HALL and McAULEY were both mem
bers of the Know Nothing party and they still wage
war sgainst Democracy both their names appear
in some resolutions which we're framed and adopted
by the American party at meeting held at this
place about the first of Marea last, and afterwards
published in the Vest Tennessee Rhig, of the 18th
March, in which they resolved, that g az persOns
calling themselves Democrats should Be hurled from

whether they alluds t, political or civil officers but

racy aud Old-lins Wings cannot, and wD mol, sup

McAULEY has for many years, been holding the
most lucrative Office in this county, CLERK Of the
County COurt,) which he has received from the
hands of the Democratic party, and nav holds his
Office, while running for another. Sgt ItopsnS0Od
says the Opposition goes In for victuas and think
his remark applies well to AioAULFY, for in this

Victuals by holding to one efhce and running for
another. You may look out for good report from
Benton. The Democracy are on the alert, and will
do their duty There win be gain on the whole
Democratic ticket. Yours, truly,
