20, 1853. POLITICS. The recent and present history of parties in the United States presents strange and. most: interesting anomaly. The union of divers factions which effected the overthrow of the Whigs at the dust Presidential Election, proves to have been but temporary affair for even now the discordant elements are separating and fast revolving themselves into their original state.

Even the ftieohesive power of public plunder" is not sufficient to keep them together. The astute philosopher who attempted to form a peaceable coalition" between fire and gunpowder, was a wise min com pared with the politicians who undertook to effect a "harmonious" re-organization of the democracy" upon a single plank of the Baltimore platform. While prospect of the spoils was full before them, democrats of every hue and caste could work togetter most patriotically; but the moment the offices were distribfated, the great motive power, which had made the party so wonderfully efficient wnd which had achieved bush an unprecedented victory, was lost--and the rank and file began to curse their leaders, deelating they had been and deluded by them. Caucases and regencies, and even the magic name of Tammany Hall, have lost their wonted power to quell disaffection and allay the rising storm of popular fury. The democracy of New York is but a mass--a chaosfermenting and foaming amid its own impenetrable darkness.

It don't know who its friends are, and its friends are equally at a loss to discover its locality and identity. The people are looking on dubiously, wondering what new phase in polities will next make its advent. As to the Whig party, which has so long been declared by its enemies to be dead, there are indications that it has only been sleeping, and some have begun to prophecy that in- due time it will awake in its ancient vigor, with its strength and purpose renewed, ready again to battle gloriously and triumphanily in the cause of Political Reform. Resignation of Gov. Seymour.

Thomas H. Seymour resigned his office las Governor of Connecticut, on Thursday, October 13th, and Hon, Charles H. Pond, the Lieut. Governor, was sworn in as Governor of the State for the remainder of the term, by Judge Ellsworth, of the Supreme Court. The Boston Transcript calls attention to the singular fact that the N.

Dunn; traveled through this part of lie county, soliciting subscriptions for Harper's Mag: azine and other periodicals. Ife obtained several subscribers here, and as understand in other towns about us.

After receiving a few numbers of the work subscribed for, they have in every ins stance, so far as I know, ceased to come. I hope this information may stand in the way of his further success in this line. If any one whose eye this shall meet can give any information of the said J. H. Dunn's whereabouts, they will confer a favor by so doing.

And if this should meet the eye of the gentleman himself, he will please consider it an invitation to visit our place, with the full assurance of meeting with a very warm reception. F.
