NO. 5251 Miscellaneous Political Intelligence, GEN. TAYLOR’S PRESENT PROSPECTS FOR THE PRE- SIDENCY. ‘We have heretofore stated that the aspect of tha political horizon was such that the electoral vote of either Pennsylvania or Ohio was absolutely necessary for the success of Gen. Taylor. The results of the elections in Georgia and Florida, and the recent de- velopements of public opinion in Indiana, lows, and ‘Wirconsin, have somewhat changed the political as- pect; and supporing that Taylor stands a fair chance of carrying thore Stutes. it appears that he may be elected without the vote of either Pennsylvania or Obio, although these States are and will be still con- sicered the battle ground. The following is the table of States now likely to vote for Gen, Teylor, leaving out of view Pennsylva- nia and Ohio. the former of which, singe the election of Governor Johnston, and from other be set down as more than probable for 10 3 +6 4.

If so, the yote of Taylor would be reduced to 151, and if we even take off Wisconsi, also, he is still elected, sup- posing Indiana and lows vote for him, as we believe they will, Set down “Old Zack”’ as safe. THE PENNSYLVANIA ELECTION. The Pennsylvanian of yerterday morning endeavors to hold out hopes to the democrats ofthe election of Longstreth as , Governor, but upon the whole, rather gives it up. and says that * at most we can only be de- feated by very small majority.” ‘The table of majorities given in the Pennsylvanian clearly shows the election of Johnston. We should think his mejority would be about 200—the closest contest ever known in Pennsylvania In 1840 Har- Tison's majority was 850 ‘The democrats elect their candidate, Paynter, for Canal Commirsioner, by about 2,000 majority, Mid- dleawarth, the whig candidate, was a conspicuous antiaoason, and lost many mason{c as well as native votes, Hannispvnc, Oot. 16.—12 o'clock, P.M.

SUSQUEHANNA. THE OHIO ELECTION. The election for Governor seems to be still in doubti Dut if we set aside reports, and look at the actual re- turns in figures, it looks favorable for Ford, (whig) as elected. Thue, the Cincinnati Gazette, (whig)gives re- turns from 63 counties, showing a majority for Ford of 1,203. There were 18 counties to be heard from,which in 1846 gave Tod, (democrat) a majority of 976. Ifthey Lave done the same now, Ford’s majority will be about 300, The Gezette, with regard to the probable vote of Obiofor President, remarks: — “ What influence will the result of the Ob!o State election exert upon the Presidential election? Will her 23 votes be given to Cass? They will, unless those opporrd to him--really opposed him and forget minor differences and unite to oppose him. ‘They will not, i€ the whige ass body, and the true op- ponents ofthe extension of slavery, unite in opposi- tiontohim. They will not, if the friends of Geveral Toylor rally and exert themselves in his support. The friends of Taylor and Fillmore c1 gir em the vote of Obio if they will. This we firmly believe and we are glad to learn, that the proper steps are taken to secure the St The Columbus State Journal, (also whig) of the even ing of the 14th inst. eays:— Of the pighty-fve counties in Ohio, the vote for Go- vernor. official or unofficial, has been received from all but thirteen.

Long before this reaches you you will have been apprized of the result of a struggle here be- tween the “old hunkers,” who go for party, and nothing else, and a poruon of the democratic party, who have determined to cut the leadimg strings by which the State has been made to follow such de- vious paths for several years. But although you may have beard of the result, some of th» details may not be uninteresting or out of place at the present time, The first organization of this party was for the elec- tion of Mr. Hutcheson for Mayor, and nobly have they succeeded ; defeating the old hunkers, breaking up their organization, and scattering and dividing even their leaders. It was thought, however, this be- ing @ ational question, that the old drill sergeants could whip the refractory into line with the old par- ty cries, but it was no go, Against the combined in- fluence of the press, (for the Taylor men have no pa- per to represent their views;) against the promises and threats of old political hacks ; and without leat- ers, the peoyle of Charleston have at last deter- mined to think for themrelves, and give free vent to their feelings of respec and admira- tion, which they entertain for tbe hero patriot, honest old Zack., who stands on the platform of the con; titution, and bas declared he will be the President of the United States, and not of a party—a platform long unoccupied by any Presidential o: ; and where hovest men of all parties, throwing off the tr m- mels of purty backs, can freely support him. ‘This feeling of admiration for the peoples’ candidate has ptruck a chord in Carolina, which will sound the knell of thore who attempt longer to control her by purely party drill Tc has re-elected Holmes, in spite of the low abuse heaped on him daily through the pape It has sent fourteen Taylor representatives and a Taylor Senator to the legislature, avd would ticket, only fcr the running of Bi endently It is the dawning of a new dey in Varo. although Taylor may net get the vote of t this election, you may sately predict that this freedom of action, once aroused among the yoturs, urging them to think for themselves, will spread uatil it shall predominate, and give a new tone tothe future action of the Sta JIM. Arsany, Oct. 16, 1848. The Trouble among the Odd Fellows. Your correspondent here is in error with refer- rence to the existing difficulties in the order of Odd Fellows, in this State. He attributes the cause of difference to a disposition on the part of the “ country lodges” (meaning all out of the city of New York) of changing the location of the Grand Lodge, which is now located in your city, to some more central portion of the State; which is not the question at issue between the belliger- ents. And, further, he does great injustice toa number of worthy members of the order, in charg. ing them with indecorous conduct towards the members of Hope Lodge, as I will be able to show hereafter; and, as your paper stands first in the confi- dence of the public, with regard to the truthfulnes® of its statements, I think you will not hesitate to cor. rect that which can be proved to be incorrect. [ do not wish to be understood as imputing to your corres: ondent wilful misrepresentations; but that he has Been deceived must be admitted by those who are at all acquainted with the facts. lt is well Known by members of the order that the Grand Lodge of the United States directed the Grand Lodge of the State to pass upon a form of constitution which was to be submitted at the November session of 1847, and, if it passed (as it unquestionably was, and that, too, by a decided vote, of ayes 202, to noes 77), then it should go immediately into provisional force, and become the fundamental law. The lodges favora- ble toit immediately organized in conformity with its | undoubtedly cha: provisions, when it was discovered by a few petsons who were hostile to it from the beginning, that it was not legally gate and persuaded the then Grand | ef, who, thereupon, issued a procia- Master into the Mation, setting aside the new constitution, aud de- claring the old one to be the law which should govern the orderin this State. This was, us you may well suppose, received with astonishment, as woll a3 indignation, by the great mass of the brotherhood throughout the State. It was the Grand Master ar- Tayed against the Grand Lodge, aud calling upon lodges aud members to obey him, instead of the body, which is the “ supreme tribunal” over them as well a8 him. This “ document” received a merited disregard irom those who refured to bow to the rule of the “one- man power,” and hence the Grand Sire was called pon to interpose his authority, by assuming the right to decide the question at issue between the representa+ three of the Grand Lodge of this State and their Grand Master, by issuing a “commission” to five prominent members of the order (n majority of new constitution had been legally adopted, report the faets for his ultimate decison, testimony in the case was entirely parte, a4 the frienda of th rar before the commission” to give their evidence, Because tbey questioned the legality of the steps taken by the Grand Sire in thus disposing of a ques- tion that should alone be decided in the Grand Lodge of the-United States; and upon this point was the appeal to that-body, and there decided against the friends of the new eonstituvion. the Grand Lodge is considered as a of the brethren, who are determine just, by ® majority of the order, Since this decision, a few of the Lodges are disposed to yield to it ; and among that number, Hope Lodge, (tle only one in the city) at a meeting a few evenings since, when few of their members were present, agreed to bd beck. by @ vote of seven in favor and three ageinst, out of a Lodge containivg 130 members, Tho Secretary was directed immediately’ to notify the Grand Lodge, working under the ld constitation, their willingness to acknowledge them as their head ; and who immediately (ihe head) sent up a “ delega- tion”? to “ reinstate” these repentant brothers When there facts were circulated among the fraternity, it attracted a large attendance from other Lodges, some out of curiosity, and rome by +pecial invitation of the Hope members, to witness the proceedings, and not “ with a view of preventing the installation.” As in- vited guests of Hope Lodge, they refused to recognize the power of any person, except those of the off sers, to order them out of the room; and hence they re fured to obey the mandate of the “delegation ;” but, when requested to do so by the proper officers, quietly retired to the ante-roo As to the charge of “insulting mombers of Hope Lodge, on making their egress from the room,’ it is utterly fates ; and the“ upront and ristous conduct” attributed to the “beloved brethren outside,” may have been confounded by those “dear brethren in- side” with the old hunker meeting directly under p them, which was in full blast at the time.

Gentlemen,— As I was abont to leave New York, on my return to this place, I had the honor to recetve jour letter of the 28uh of September, expressing in the most kind and complimentary manner, your appre- | ciation of my public servicer, and inviting me to a | public dinner, ‘The pressure of cfficial duties isthe apology I have | to offer for my delay in replying to it, Nothing could be more gratifying than to mest so many of my esteemed trienda, on such en occasion as you offer to me; but the necessity for my presence here, now, and for rome time to come; compels me, reepeottully, to de- cline your invitation. Your reference tothe mannerin which | havo performed the duties cf my prevent station, and your liberal expressions of approval of my public conduct, cemand my most grateful acknowledgements, ard encourage me to hope that my anxious endeavors to be useful have been attended with results, in some degree corrvepondivg tomy wirhes.

No one, | assure you, can mora sincerely rejoice then I do, at the “ return of peave,” and no one can | better appreciate your just tribute of praise to those | “whore deeds in arms bave recently dons so much to elevate and adorn the American name and character;” | and {may well regard iyseif 4s fortunate in ocoupy- | ing @ position which, in the judgment of my friends, | reflects rome porticn offthis brilliant{light npon my- | self Though | most highly appreciate the military | glory which our brave officers and soldiers have won | for themrcives, and their country, in the war with Mexico, yet, | am far from entertaining apprehensions, as some do, thet it will infuse euch w restless martial | spirit Into the American people, asjwill lead them to in- dulge it on improper oecasions. In my judgment, the best fruit of our recent mili- | tary ruccesees, is the promise it gives of an abiding peace.

But, in all engagements that havel taken place, there is no instance of 20 miles having been trotted in one hou horse entered for the task be successful, it must be re~ gard das unparalleled, and will stamp him asa nag of surpassing speed and endurance. This horse, Trustee, sired by imported Trustee, dam the celebrated trotting mare Fanny Pullen, bas never been noted for extraordinary speed at short distances. At long dis- tances, however, or where the heats have been broken he bas generally been very successful, as no effort ap. ‘are to di tress him. and he has been known to per- ferm his ninth mile in 2:46. a rate of speed, under the eircumetances, reldom equalled. His speed aud great bottom combined. lead to the belief that he is compe- tent to the occasion; and, if the afternoon prove fair. an opportunity will be afforded to test the mooted Evite of “can twenty miles be trotted in one hour? Union Covnse—-Trortine Marcn.—-A trotting match for $850, mile heats,best three in five,between the Boston horse, Grey Eagle, (under the saddie,) and the much admired New York mare, Lady Sutton, (in har- neée,) came off on Tuesday afternoon, on Long Island The match was won by the Boston horee, after four of the bert contested and sharpest heats ever witnessed on the track, All who attended the course seemed de- ighted, not only with the spirited manner in which the race was conducted throughout, but with every thing that met their eyes—the roads, the track, the eult of the match, Each spectator seemed friendly with his neighbor, and on good terms with himself; and the day and occasion will be of long remem- prance to all who indulged in their enjoyment. At the commencement of financial business on the course, the backers of Grey Eagle opened by offering 100 to 60 om their favorite, but finding few takers at that high rate ef odds. and being anxious to lay out the excent of their wallets—so confident were they of tuccess—they subsequently staked 100 to 50, and in some instances, 100 to 40 on the issue—the latter offer- ings being takon in large amounts On the appear- ance of the horses on the course, and during the int val of scoring, the backers of Lady Sutton became more liberal in their askings, and posted 50 and even + GO against 100 in several instances, the apparently fine condition and fleetness of the mare leading them up to that point; in fact, she looked in superb order, and was as gay and beautiful as all that could be desired, and not a doubt of the issue was inthe minds of his friends. The contest, however, proved the comparative powers of each, and that the Boston horee can beat the mare in any match where he has the advantage of going under the saddle while the is in barness ; but it is almost universally conced- ed that should they both go in harness, the mare would prove the better horse. First Heat.—Grey Eagle won the pole. ‘The horses were on a line and under good headway whea tbe word was given, and they dashed round on the upper turn of the track at @ tremendous rate, rather too fast, in fact, for the horse, as he broke and fell off about two lengths soon after passing the drawgate, which advantege the mare retained until she passed the half mile pele: She went the first quarter in thirty- seven Feconds, and the first half mile of the heat in 1:14. Going round the lower turn, the horse com- menced closing the gap, his gait becoming more steady, and hie stride more uniform and vigorous than previous- ly. Before the mare had reached the home stretch, the head of the horse hung upon her wheel, and the struggle for the Jead began in good earnest, ‘Conklin, the driver of Sutton, used his thong. and Woodraff ap- plied bis spurs; still the mare kept the lead to the three quarter pole; but there the eye of Groy Eagle was at Conklin’s whip hand, and his speed seemingly increasing Ajbert applied the lash again and agate, to udd, if porsible, an extra inch to the stride of the mare; but as hi came down on the back of Sutton, in went the gaffs of Woodruff to the sides of ie. and the fuster end more furious came he on. this way they contendad to the lower draw gate, to where their heads were poraile] ; the grey still retalaed his pace, and it was evident, that without an accident, he must bent Sutton tothe score. He didso by halfa Iength, muking the heat in two minutes and thirty one sconds Second Heat.—The result of the above heat, soemed to burst all bounds of financial dicoretion in the backers of Eagle, and four and five to one were posted on bis success The start was very even: but the werd go,” bad scarcely passed the lips of the judge, ere the grey broke up, and by the time he recovered, the mare was thirty yards in advance, and going at the top of her ‘speed, passing the quarter pole in thirty-nine seconds Down the back stretch the horse fettled himself, and commenced his “custom-work,” gaining gradually on the mare at every stride. She passed the halfmile pole im 1:16, abut three lengths ahead of tho horse, and on the lower turn, be closed up so fast, that he lapped the persuasive appliances administered in the previous heat, was now resorted to by both jockies, and they came from the three quarter lecemotivee. ‘The grey reached the bead of the mero at the drawgate, but in the endeavor to place him in front, he was carried over his speed, and broke up within thirty yards of the score, giving the heat to Sutton, Time 2:83. Third Heat —This was a counterpart of the previous heat, with few slight exceptions. The Loree did not breek up as hewas pearing the goal. He did so soon after starting, giving the mare a lend to the first quarter of thirty yards at least, and whieh took er 41 seconds to reach, having stepped on a small block of wood, which fastened in her shoo, and diminished her speed; she brought the wood in her shoe to the score. which, beyond a doubt, lost her the beat.
