BMovements for the Campaign of 1862—The Whig Adminis- tration ‘Candidates Playing for the North—the Democrats for the South—The Philosophy of these Movements , and the Probable ‘Consequences. Father Ritchie's time is out; it expired last Saturday “night, ina blaze of glory. He lives ina showy cream-colo- Fed ,house opposite the Prasident’s, with Lafayette park ‘between them; but a good marksman might stand on the ‘threshold of Father Ritchie's elegaut establishment, and « down the Irish janiter of the executive mansion, pry he fire. The Tocallty of the Padve’s residence has a herraggin aristocratic atmosphere about it— foreign ministers and cabinet ministers all around him— ‘and looking the President’s dead in the eye. Such a lo- cality is genial, or rather congenial, to Father Ritchie, ‘who is a genial“ old cock” in * good society,” aud hag always plumed himself upon being of the élite of the ‘demceracy, or the upper ten ; and being about to “o Md Vii jon |, the printers of the Union office, having subscribed for and got up a splendid t, to present to Father Ritchie, as « tertimenial of their regard, &c., the goblet was presented; eand on the presentation, Father Ritchie, like Captaia Rice, “he gin a treat,” and tho eompany, politicall: speaking, was, what Benton would call an“ incompati- diy heterogeneous conglomeration,” something like the committee of thirteen, only a little more so. Among the invited guests present, were several of the editors of the ‘organs, and one of the Southern Press in addi- tion to the President of the United States, the At- torney General, the printers of the Univn office, andthe man that made the goblet. They had a good time ; indeed, we may say that it was a vory good time; and that Mr. Clay’s grand ides of “concord and har: mony,” and champagne, was not only the paramount but ‘the predominant idea. It was the fraternization of se- cession, State rights, consolidation, whiggery, and de- mocracy, all over the same jug of liquor; and there was a morai at the bottom of it, which we have undertaken to fish up. The meeting at Father Ritchie's did not present more sheterogeneous elements than the two old parties <f the day, as they now exist, or rather as they now vegetate. They have become herbaceous ; for, like Ne Juchadnezzar, they have been turned out to graze with ihe settlement of the * nigger question.” With the blast «f the trumpet calling up all parties to the scratch in this harmony in the whig ranks, just now, and this armony in the democratic family, will turn out very likely to be as fictitious as the harmony and concord at Father Ritchie's festival. Then we shall see that the of Father Ritobie and Mr. Fillmore, and General , and Major Donelson, and Mr. Crittenden, and the junior editor of the Southern Press, and the distin- guished artist who manufactured the goblet, was a mere matter of wine drinking, just as the re-unions of Foote and Seward, at the last session, were mere tea-part ‘Then we shall see the harmony of a scrub-race, or of guerilla fight, or of a militia training day, or of a buck- ‘woods wedding, or an Irish wake, Anticipating “a devil of # time,” both the old parties ‘are already endeavoring to harmonize; aud the move ments of the more active candidates on both sides, al- ready show the drift of the wind. There is mo disputing ‘that the late speeches of Mr. Webster—from Castle Gar. den to Buffalo—especially at Buffalo—and from Buffalo down to Albany, to say nothing of Dunkirk, were corci- liatory, and had more the atmosphere of New York and the North about them than the “odor of nationality.” It is pretty evident, upon the face of them, that these speeches were intended to conciliate the North—the prejudices of the North, and the instinctive, hereditary reid Sel the Nerth to Southern slavery; at the sam» time that he inculcated good faith to the constitution. Why is this’ Where is the necessity—what can be the object—of Mr. Webster's conciliations to this North. rn sentiment against slavery, to the disparagement of his lately acquired respectable ‘standing in the south’ ‘We say respectable ; for politically speaking. his reputa- tion was hardly respectable in the South befure the 7th of March, 1850. Regarded as a hard-shelled abolitionist in principle, he had been discarded long before. But tince that tt national and rational speech ia the Senate, in which he avowed his partiality for the Ebony line of steamers to Africa, and for colonization and for the constitution, he has gained upon the good opinion of the South to that degree that he may begin to count upon it. And why, at this juncture, turns he his back upon the South’ And why does Mr Fillmore do the same thing in bis letter to the Boston committee’? Mr. Webster and Mr Fillmore both plead the existence of slavery as an evil, and obedience to the constitution as a necessity—but though a hard necessity, still an indis- pensable necessity—it the North would continue to enjoy the blessings of this glorious Union. And very substan- tial blersings they are to the North, to the exteat of not jess than two hundred millions a year, in hard cash, earned by the slave labor of the South. But why this tampering to the anti-slavery sentiment, by the President and his Seere of State’ Will it gain either of them anything in the South’ Most cer- tainly not; but they are somewhat anxious to recover lost ground in the North. A single seuteuce will explain the whole thing. ‘The Philadelphia National Whig Convention will nomi nate the national whig candidate; and he who gets the majority of the Northern votes, will get the nomination ‘The movements of many of the original Northern Tay- lor men, and of the Seward men, in favor of Geu. 8 cott, have very naturally awakened the suspicions of the ad- ministration candidates, that nest attended to, Seott will undermine them in the North and ia the Iadelphia conventicle. It is well enough, then, to hw strong anchor to the windward: and to set the ship's nose agniust the tide, To make the matter worse, there jx ne telling whether Georgia, Alabama, and Mississippi, will be represented in the whig convention or aot South Carotine bo certainly out of the question, The whigs are then compelled to make the amost of the North—their on.y chance lies in the North; and unless something is done to counteract the headway of Gen. Scott in the North, he will carry the whig conventicn as sure as fate, even if, as we expect, every Yote Of every Southern State shall be against b.m. Standing on his present non com- mittal platform, Gen. Scott cannot expect the vote of any Southern State, excepting Delaware; and we pre- sume be will hardly make any concessions for the doubt- ful States of Georgia and Tennessee, if he is thereby to lore his chances of the State cf New York. In fact, we may reduce the issue between Messrs, Webster. Fillmore, and Scott, toa struggle between them for the State of New York in the Philadelphia convention. ‘The democratic party are in» different situation, and their candidates have @ different game to play, In the whig convention « majority elects: but in the democratic, since fhe rule was introduced by Mr. Walker, in ‘44, for the defeat of Van Buren, a vote of two-thirds bas been required to make a nomination. This gives animportant addition of power tothe South in the democratic conven- tion, Furthermore, it is expected that the Northera de- mocracy will harmonise upon any tfurar that will be satisfactory tothe party of the Bouth—and that if the ba will coneiliate the Southern wing of of the North, not even excepting Prince nburnersy A ongeg to it. se beeen natural operation. of all these uc vemeuts, howeve in In favor of a crub race, and tends to throw the elec. louse, ‘There we expect it to’ go; mud out e need not expect it Lo cue, short of new guarantees for thesprotection of the South, or short of an explosion.

In a letter yesterday to the Herald, we attempted to show that. the game now between the administra- tion aspirants for the Presidency and (ieneral Scott, has not the conciliation of the South, but the nomi- nation of the Philadeiphia Convention, which is in the hands of the orth. No man can get the vote of that convention without the support of the y South- upon b's side. the conciliatory tone towards the anti-slave: sentiment in the speeches of Mr Webster, in his late New York tour of observation; and hence the i letter to Mr. Brinley, of the Boston Committee ‘Tho first thing is to get the nomination, the main thing is to be elected; but the nomination, the re- gular nomination by the national whig party, or what is left of it, is the first important step towards the White House. But if General Scott, in the convention, carries off all the North, neither Mr ‘Webster nor Mr. more will be anywhere. This was what we attempted from circumstantial evi- dence to establish yesterday. Our present purpose is to add a thought anda fact or two to the gene ral argument, illustrative of the utter impracticabi- lity ot the Soxth, in respect to any regular arrange- ments for a regular national four mile sweepstakes in Iss What is the state of things in the South ata glance? We find that the border slave States of Hclaware, Maryland, Virginia, aud Kentucky, are ull right—that parties here may be reconstructed or reorganized, each upon a national ticket, al that the samme may be said of North Carolina and ‘Lennessee.

McDonald, a netorious seceder, and the President of the last Nashville Conven- tion, for Governor. The whig party, then, is ds- funct in Georgia as well as the democratic ; and neither of the existing parties can co-operate with the whig national convention upon @ national whi, ticket. The Union party of Georgia is formed of whigs and democrats; and any attempt to smuggle it into the whig convention as the whig party of Georgia wilt break it up, root and branch— he democratic portion will go off to th wn can- didate; and if ever the Union party is thus di- vided, the Southern rights party will hold the field. The only way by which the Southern rights or disunion porty con be kept down in Georgia, Ala- bama, and Mississippi, is by the junction of the Union whigs and democrats into a grand Union par- ty. ‘To maintain this organization, they must drop their old whig or democratic affinities, prejudices, and principles, and bury all their old moasures and party notions. The moment they return to the whig ticket, or the democratic ticket, the Union party explodes, and the secessionists will stand be- tle tae detached wings, in full possession of the eld. There is no visible medium of communication be- tween the Union party of Georgia, or Alabama, or Missis ippie nd the Whig National Convention, or the mocratic National Convention. In neither of these conventions can those States be counted cpa and Florida and Arkansas, it is pro- bable, will also be among the unrepresented States at Philadelphia and Baltimore. The Southern rights party, unless the democracy take up Cuba, in opposition to Seott and Canada, will have a ticket of their own, and a platform of their own; if for no other olen they will have it for the very important Cn of driving the election into the Hoaso. he policy of some of the Southern confederacy leaders of the South, outside of South Carolina, of those men who desire to move the whole South in a compact body out of the Union, and into a South- ern confederacy, is the policy of annexation; and continuing annexation until the grand object of a disruption is effected. Cuba may do it—Canada certainly would; but if Canada is omitted and Cubs is acquired, and fails of producing a rupture, St. Domingo, and another slice or two from Moxico, will be the next movements. ‘The slave States bor- dering the North are selling off their slaves, as tho census exhibits, to the cotton and sugar States— they will soon feel the pressure of the accumulation. The strong policy of necessity will demand an out- let to the Southward—an ‘ion alone can open the way; and the hazard of dissolution from any further annexations of slave territory will tend t> hasten rather than delay the experiment. The letter of ex-Governor M‘Donald, just pro- mulgated, accepting his nomination as the condi- date for Governor of the Southern rights party of Georgii Il sustain what has been foreshadowed patch; and sustains everything urged by your correspondent in South © ina and poorgie letters, as the principles and views of the Southern ultras. The most important point in this letter, for practical use, is the declaration of the right of a State to secede. If South Carolina caa only get another State or two formally to declare the right of secession—the right of a State to go out of the Union, peaceabl; at her own option— she may not wait for further co-operation on the part of her neighbors—-there will be no necessity to wait any longer. A declaration of the right is a Lian 24 of co-operation in the act of secession. The worst of it is that, from all indications, this question of the right of a State to secede will be made a question, in all the cottun States, from ieorgia to Texas, inclusive, in the nev! Presidential campaign, The declaration of Governor M‘Donald is but the beginning of the fight on that issue. He may be defeated, but the contest will widen; and the great apprehension is, that too soon, in all the cotton States, the mght of a State to secede will be endorsed; and when that is done, if not before, South Carolina will retire in disgust from her pre- sent connection with the abolition States of the North. She is alienated from the Union. The love of Ireland for Great in, is the affection of South Carolina for this Union. And the declaration of Governor M‘Donald, of the right of secession, has, thus far, an important meaning in South Carolina. It may possibly involve the decision by the State of ‘eorgia of the secession of South Carolina, for the declaration involves the obligation of assistance. What modifications this question of the right of secession may give to the campaign of 52, will be disclosed next winter. Inthe meantime, pending all the uncertainties of the succession, it seems to us that the ambition of so many distinguished can- didates for the chances of a whig or a democratic nomation, is perfectly absurd. The best to be ex- pected is a scrub race, in which the veriest ‘*out- aide about as likely to win as the regular old hunker favorites. Let us watch and pray. Wasninerox, June 18, 1851. The Desertion of the Government—Prospects of the Administration and the Party—Gén. Scott inhi Condition—Mr. Buchanan and Gen. Cass in the South. ‘The present universal interregnum is without a parallel in the history of mankind. With regard to our own country, it is strikingly remarkable and cu- rious. We have never before had anything to com- pare toit. The administration has nothing to do All the loaves and fishes are distributed, and the aws are executing themselves. The garrisons of South Carolina, Fort Moultrie, Castle Pinckney, Fort Johnson, and all, have reinforced with men, munitions and provisions ; a vigilant watch has been set over the secessionists; flecte of ships scour the keys of Florida, to intercept the invaders of Cuba; Marshal Tukey and his posse comitatus of the merchants of Boston, and the army and cog has effectually choked off the abolitionists from the absconding property of the South at all points with- incannon-shot of the Bunker Hill monument; an the administration feels that there is a calm—*‘ great calm”—though God only knows how long it is to last. But as there is a calm, why not take ad- vantage of it, and make the most of it? That is ex- actly what the administration purpose te do, and are doing.

Let the President and his Secretaries frolic away the sum- mer at the sea side, at the springs, or among the mountains, for after this calin there will come a blow, a storm, a northeaster, and a sou'wester, all together.

Mr. Ferdinand de Lasteyrie, representative of the people, whose name is equally popular in Amo. rica and in France, has consented to communicate to us the following romarks, extracted from tho re- collections of his voyage to the United States, in which he was made acquainted with all the remarka- ble men of the Union. We doubt wot that the opi- nions of Mr. de Lasteyric, and tho views he bas ox- pressed, will be very interesting to our readers: — When I arrived in Washington, the first desire I felt was that of piying a visit to Prosident Fill: more. In every country, according to my opiaiva, there is a true mterest to see closely, when possibly, | the chief of the government. King or President, Sultan or Grand Duke, or :mperor, this parsonite cation of power, so different in all countries, is a little lively recapitulation that ths attentive ob server will alnie study with profit. In America, itis true, the chief of the executive powor is far from having—above ull in the eyes of his follow countrymen—the importance that the constitutions and the traditional prejudices yet confer upon tho sovereigns of Europe. But pre sisely for that, and because France has given to herself a constitutioa similar in many points to that of the United States, there was something very instructive for me to see with my own eyes the first magistrate of a free people. It is rey easy to be Preanted to the President of the United States. ad a letter of introduction, given to me by one of his friends in New York. It was more than sufficient. 1 preferred, howover, to be introduced to him by our Minister. A French- mun, and representative of the people, it seemed to me proper to preseat myself under the flag of France. Besides, our Minister in Washington had acquired so good a position that I could but gain by a presentation under his auspices. ** Nothing is more easy,” M. de Bois le Comte, said to me, when | expressed to him the desire of paying a visit to the President. ‘ Even to-day | will go with you. Wait for me for two hours at your hotel. J will pass there to take you, and we will go together from there to the White House.” My hotel, as all hotels in Washington, was situ- ated on Pennsylvania avenue--a wide street, bordered with trees, and a mile in length, which terminates at one end by the magnificent palace of the capitol, where Congress holds its sessions, and at the other by the Presidential residence and its grounds and gardens. Inthe centre of these grounds is situated the mansion of the President, or the White louse, as it is sometimes called, from the bright whiteness that the stone preserves in this happy climate. The noble and simple architecture of this palace, its dimensions, the place where it is situated—all, in fine, marvellously answer the purposes for which it was erected. From the southern sid ight is extended upon the f the Potomac. ‘The approached by a i ue for care ringes, and by a beautiful lawn, in che middle of which is placed the bronze statue of Jefferson, ye ssna'd celebrated work of our statuist, David of hgers. There are no sentinels, no guards, no door- keepers. ‘The only live thing I encountered before J reached the ante-room, was an old white horse, tran pully pasturing the grass of the lawn. It was the horse, 1 was told, on which General Taylor mounted at the battle of Buena Vista. Ifall is as simple as the President of the United States, this simplicity is accompanied with a great propriety and dignity. In the first room we entered, we found a man dressed in black, half servant and half usher, to whom M, Bois le ‘Compte gave my card and his, in order to see if the President could receive us. A minute after, the mau arrived and ine vited us to enter the great saloon, praying us to wait there for a few moments. The delay, short enough, was not lost to me. 1 made the best of it, first in examining the interior details of this republican palace, and, above all, in receiving from the mouth of my ubliging introducer some inturmation, full of interest, as to the statesinan whom | was about to see. As it is known, President Fillmore has reached the high posision, which he occupies to-day, only by the ct of the death of his predecessor, the brave General Taylor. Accordiog to the terns of the American constitution, in case of the death of the chief of the executive power, it is the Presiden: ofthe Senate and Vice President of the Republic, who is clected by the people, who takes, by right, his place till the expiration of the four yours duration This powers. It is not, then, to direct eloo- tion that Mr. Fillmore owes his present position. It isyet less to the splendor of his origin. Mr. Fille more is # self-made man—laborious, intelligegt, full of steadiness and uprightness, he has made Rimsel£ whathe is. His father was a tailor, but no doubt a well educated one, for he caused his son to have an excellent education. ‘The young Fillmore was very soon remarked bya lawyer, who was a frequent visiter at the house of his father. This lawyer of- fered totake the future President into vilice. ‘The young man accepted this proposal, devoted himeelfentirely to the study of the law, and was, some time after, distinguished among lawyers. Ia 1833, the State of New York sent him to Congress, where he represented it 1 1843. At last, the the cireles of elections become larger before him; he reached, in December, 151%, the eminent po- sition of Vice President of the Republic, which he occupied seven months only, when General Taylor died after a short sickness. M. Bois le Comte added to this information seme anecdotal details, until we saw the Presi- dent coming with the most amiable look. Mr. Fill- more is more than fifty years old. He isa man of good appearance, whose calm and beaevolent physiognomy the same time, full of firmness and dignity. He spe with rese and possesses, to a superior degree, the talent, unfortunately too rare, of listening to those who speak to him. L was the first French representative who visited Wash- ington during the course of hiscareer. ‘This made the Presi@eut think that! ought, more thananother traveiler, be acquainted with the policy of my coun- try, and he addressed tome various questions, evi- dently dictated by a lively sympathy for the first friendand ally of the American people. It is impos- sible to have an idea of the interest with whichone oo the other side of the Atlantic follows the develope- ment of our new institutions. Seeing France adopt- ing «form of government similar to that of the United States, it appeared to political men of this country that a stronger bond would unite both na- tions. All make declarations of hopes and wishes for the success of the experiment; bat one thing disturbs them. It is the governmental personne ot our republic. Their democratic good sense is as tonished to see that we pick up, for the construction of a new edifice, the more or less rotten remains of overthrown monarchies. Mr. Fillmore has, also, no doubt, this natural astonishment; but he o3s- ed too much good feeling to express it with the same freedom asa great many otf his fellow coun- trymen; and if | have been able to guess what he thought im that respect, it is by the interest with. | which he asked of me, several times, if | hoped that the republican government could be established firmly and definitely in France At the moment of my arri t Washington, the Congress had just terminated one of its longest and most storiny session The rivalry of the Southera and the Northern States had attained the highest degree of intensity.

The reproach was not just, if itis remarked how this power is incompletely armed. The can army is barely composed of som> regiments; the most of them are sent to the ex- treme frontiers of the West, to protect the pioneers; and the others, divided in companies and sumsll de- tachments, are guarding the forts on the coast. An American native who has never quitted his country, cannot have any ides of an army like ours. It is atso with an eager curiosity that they look for all the information on this subject, from travellers. My natioual pride was more than unce tattered, in sae- ing with what interest President Fillarore was lis- tening, from the mouth of M. de Bovis le Comte, ie the thousand details concerning our wars in f > om my visit to Mr. Fillmore, I have formed this double convietion—that the citizen of she Uait- od es, to whoma fortuitous circumstauce has given the supreme executive power, is # urvn full of wisdom, of uprightness, and good senti nents; that, a faithful representative of his country, he is a sin- cere friend of France. Besides the particular audiences easily obtained of the President, Mrs. Fillmore has, every week, a fixed day when she receives persons who’ have the honor of being presented to her. Thun there is, also, every week, during thy winter, a day of official ption, when every one is freely admitted. It is in the evening that these great receptions take place. ‘I'ho spectacle which they offer is worthy of attracting a stranger. All the first story of the pulaco is used for these re- ceptions, and one must acknowledge that its ar- rangements are well appropriated for the occasion. To the right of the spacious hall which serves: for entrance, two parlors are reserved, according to American custom—the first to receive the hats and. the overcoats of men, and the other to adjust tho dress of the ladies, very useful precautions, tor many of them walk to the palace. ‘They find also there, pins, combs, looking-glasses, and half a doren of chambermaids always ready. The dresses thus ad- justed, the presentation begins. After having crossed a central gallery, they enter a saloon, where the visiters are in line, in order to proceed to the next, and so through one or two rooms, into a cir- cular saloon, which I should call the hall of the throne, if the last named article’ of furniture was known in America. It is in that room, generally, that the President is, on such ovcasions, seated with his family. ‘There is no staff, no chamberlains, not even ushers. Staff, why? ‘There are no soldiers in Washington, | and the President has no military command, except as the head of the government. Chambor lains, for whom? Nobody in the house claims a princely origin. Ushers, even, whatfor? American good nature simplifies all. In place of being an- nounced by a third person, too easily accustomed to miscalla name which he hears for the first tims, why every one takes care to name himself. Agi- memnon condescends himself to do that, in the tra- of Kaci: It is what takes place in the ¢ House. Every visiter, acoosting the President, simply mentions his name, and that of his lady, if he has one. The reception of the Pre- ident is affable and polite to all. He shakes hands with those he distinguishes. His family is grouped around him, standing up as he docs. Hu wite, whose countenance, full of dignity and benevolence, immediately inspites roapect, is noar to him. ‘Then, near her, is Miss Fillmore, who, by the dis- | tinetion of her manners, and ao elegant simplicity, avoids those coquettish graces which American young ladies display too often. It is not yet a Jear since Miss Fillmore was in a boarding school, where, after baving completed her education, she remained, in order to teach others what she had learnod herself. Elevated to the Presidency, her father called her to Washiugton, and since she has been there, heramiable modesty, her solid and varied education, have contributed, not less than the high position of her family, to make her cher- ished ay all. Mr. more has also a son, who fulfils for him the office of secretary. One is obliged to seck for him in the crowd, for he never puts him- self before the visiters; a good symptom, indeed, which denotes modest merit. | isthe family in the midst of which President | found when he receives visiters iu the evening.

As for the remaining visiters, | after having saluted the master of the house, they continue to defile, and pass through tho opposite door, and cross a third and fourth saloon, in order to arrive at the great and majastic | hall which occupies all the castern extremity of tho palace. It is there where all visiters ure con- | glegated. | ‘Lhe place alluded to has the form of an immense | and long square, lighted by windows on three sides ; the furniture of it is simple, but sufliciently sump: | tuous, and completed with a magni icent carpet, fabricated by the manufacturers of Massachusetts, | who offered it to the President of the Kepublic.

At the reception of the President, there is ® mixing, it is true, but a very respectable one, where the daughter of the mao witbout a high position, worthily occupies her place near the most brilliant young ladies of society. Most of them are pretty. One is more elegant than the other. One shows her white shoulders out of @ brilliant silk dress, manufactured at Lyons, while the other is modestly dressed with a merino tirsue, perhaps fabricated also in l’rance. But both have an equally proper dr nd if one is the more coquettirh, it is notin general the one who wears the merino dress. As for the good farmers, for the planters coming from the banks of the Mississippi, from the wild ness of Wisconsin, in order to see their President it is easy to know them by their burnt Ho empearee by their strong shoes, and above all by the cager curiosity with which they consider all that passes | before them.

Nothing to eat or to drink was pre ented to visiters, [tis not the custom at these presentations. Tut every one has seen—every one Bee used his right of a citizen, in going to see—his Vrevideot. Then, the people return home; but here the custom is that every visiter takes leave of the President. They pass again throaghout the central gallery, which, during the evening, is used asa walk, and they cross anew the apartinents of the President, in order to take leave of him, who, although tire is work, has always on his fow tures the same signs of kindness. In the ante-r are the same servants, dressed in black, who had opened the door. They call the carriages of those who possess them, and ‘the other visiters go home arm in arm, gentiemen and ladies, young girls aud young men, making (he bert of their liberty, and enjoying the favor of the climate they live under. itis thus that the President of the ropublic re coives his visiters. ‘There is no luxugy, there is no useless pomp; and, however difficult it is for any ove who is present at one of these presentations, he cannot leave them without emotion.
