In, fact, the political olemest-of the metropolis*has been ina great commotion for the last few days, avd the excitement is on the increase, “ " ‘The republicans pretend to be playing wino, and to all outward appearance are now relying upon the follies of their opponents to enable thom to carry tho State this fall. But underneath the eurface there isa fire burning that threatens destruction. This is a quarrel between the niggerheads and Seward faction. At tho meoting held. at | the Cooper Institute the radicals were the prime movers, | and ‘the animosity was quite apparent during the | Prelimiuery arrangements. Some of those engag- ed on the gart of tho opiggerhoads in gétting up the preparntions were advised by men in position on the other side that it would be much better for their fulure operations if they let that meeting severeiy alone. Speakers advertised arrived here to fulfil their engagements, but all of a sudden disappeared. ‘The resuit of all this the public saw iD the elim gathering and smal) show at the Cooper Institute.” Rumor has it that- a certain State Central Committee, apprinted this fall in the ‘vicinityof tho State salt works, coayinced ‘the orators that they had an important duty to perform elsewhere. The democracy are goncraliy quite sanguine, not- withstanding their cross fires and copperhead woods that are cvery now and then cropping out. There was a rumor a few days, ago that a certain philosopher, once powerful, and vow only known among the bulle and bears in Wall street, was about to nominate ‘8 ticket of bis own for the democracy to vote for. But the recent storm in that quarter bas no doubt so absorbed his time that ho has not and will not have the opportunity to withdraw bis attention from tumbling stocks long enough to arrange his ticket. ‘There is at the present time # correspondence going on | ‘among those democrats who repudiated the famous ninth resolution: in 1861, and joimed the republicans in the Union movement of that fall, to hold a convention at an eatly day in Albany. They consider that ‘the republicans have abolitionized themselves, and are trying to abolitionizo those democrats, and they Bow arc considering the question of holding a convention, toepread before the people of this State a decided war piat- form, and eominate the present democratic ticket, con- nidering, ae they do; that that ticket is compored of men whore war sentiments arc of the most positive kind, ‘The great event in loca) or city politics is the movo- mentiand figaring that have been going on to unite Mozart ‘and Tammany on the county and Legislative ticket at the November election io this city: According to rumors, this matter bas settled and unscttloed a dozen times during the past week. Every candidate for nomi- mation has bad it arranged just to suit bjs Homingtion. In. other words, the: particular! office. that each desires bas. deen. given 19 she. faction which he operates with, for thelexpress parpose of his nomination, Most of these aspirants have been airing themselves ap? ‘ainusing. their (riebds over their glorious prospects om false preteaces, as not a few will ascertain. «uen the upion js completed and formally an- esuneed, No arrangement between Mozert and Tammany has up to this time been completed. Active negotiations have been In progress all the week. Propositions have been sub- mitted on both sides; but the faa} consummation has not yet been reached. Asim all such things, aspirants for place are busy at work, each endeavoring to secure the adoption of a programme that will secure bis nomination; and asa matter of course this conflicting element causes ‘on this, as on all cetasions of thekind,a great doa) of backing and Qiling. What seems certain ono bour is un- cortaln thenext. Enough has been done to insure a union ‘Detwoen Modart and Tammany on the candidates to be elected iu November. As to this ultimate result there is no doubt; but as to the charter election there is some doubt how it will result, b. The oo!y®question in reference to the union on the county Logisiativg ticket is the arrangemont of the details, which takes time to harmonize. The most probable plan ‘at present is a division of officers as follows:—Tammavy to take Recorder, Supervisor, Judge of the Suprems Court and one Judge of the Superior Court. As ‘an Offset to that Mozart is to have the Surrogate, Judgo of the Common Pleas, Marine Court and one Justice of the Superior Court. The question of Regis ter mewhat doubt(ul. A proposition has been talked over to give this oficg to Mozart, and Tammany to have the Mayor; and anotlir for Tammany to'take the Register and divide the patronage uader #t witb Mozart. Whether either of these propositions will finally be settled upon or not weare unable to say at present. The errangement ns to the Jadges and Supervisor will unquestionably be as above enumerated. Many of the managers on both sides aro desirous of having the arrangement extended to the Mayor, whilst,on the other band, others us to be eld open, to test the strength of the pea element indhe democratic ranks, This, wo imagine, too certain extent, is ono of the olemeata that prolong the negotiations. The developments of the uext few days will anewer that question. It te algo probable that to Tammany will be allotted the Fifth and Seventh Senatorial districts, and to Mozart the Fourth aod Sixth. This is pot, however, certain, and such ® thing may transpire that the very opposite will be the cage, aliboug® the first named is the most probable at the?| Present. A cry hae been raised in several quarters that & bitter feud is springing up between Boole and the officials ia the Street Department on one side, and the Compéroller and his friends on tho other, From @il the facts that we oan gather. it exists only ia the imagination of those who are boping and ‘working to create just such a feud. They al) seem to pull together with a perfect good feeling. and one of the first named cliques bas been tbe spokesman, on the part of Tammany, on every occasion in their consultations with the leaders of Mozart, and thal, too, without baving any porson present classed in several sources ns belouging Ake Comptroller's faction. ‘The question of the division of the Assembiymen re- ‘tmains too crude to require comment to-day. Aspirants for those peaitions mast await the developments of future events for the settlement of their case.
