PERSONAL AND POLITICAL.

The Lawrence Tribune gives list of
twenty seven aspirauts for United States
Senator in this State. The best part of
thing is that John Speer is too modest to
announce his own name in the list.
Much has been said in rsgad To Gsner.
al Grants interviews with the President
concerning the Question of amnesty and
suffrage, but this much may be depended
upon; that the General ia a warm
supporter of the constitutional amend
meDt.
Il ia reported that the Tammany Dem
ocra's have devided into factions, one of
them favoriug negro suffrage, and the oh
er bitterly opposing it. A secret meet
ing was held on the 2Ist of the most III
multous character, aud ended 10 geuer-
al row. The Mozart Democracy isabout
to divide in the same way. it is said. and
Hoffman is Iumored to have declared,
unless the entire party advocate the right
Ct coloIed meu to vote, that it would lose
all power in this and every Northern
State.
| A we'll known Republican politician
says President Johnson greatly fears he
will be imPeached; that he is extremely
ANXIOUS to conci late the r adical Congress;
and that his friends have written to prom
inent members to assure them he will not
resist the will of the loyal North as ex
pressed in the late elections.
Col. FOrDey says in bis 'two papers,
both daily" that Fernando Wood is in
Washington advising President Johnson to
yield to the public demand and .: dorss
the Consritutioal Amendment.
We fad the following ''good ons''
