POLITICAL INTELLIGENCE, CITY POLITICS. The Strategy of the Campaign Developing Tiself—Tke Serength aud Wenkuew of Tam~- an and Irish Political Kle- auttict-The Offices to be Filled, h Present Incumbents Have No Chance—The Police and Civil Justices. ‘The articles on city politics which have appeared % the Mrracp have greatly stimulated, and, in fact, Precipitated action among the ofice-holders and oMice-seekers throughout the city. There 18 now eneral preparation going ov in anticipation of the eoming contest. Many of the present meambents, whose terms of ofMce wil expire in the fqll—and who, good easy souls, thought themselves safe for another term—have taken alarm from the keynote sounded by the HSRALD, and are now in the field as actively engaged in trying to secnre thelr positions as thelr opponents are iu displacing them, The reo chiefs of Tammany are mighty “onsar- Aaln,” and the most seemingly secure place-man to-day is booked to walk the plank to-morrow. @ne word 1s struck out from the Tam- many poll vocabulary, “expediency,” and which often in the past stood the friend of the in- cumbent of an omce. The democratic element is no jonger disturbed by the contentions of parties, and the rulers therefore are not now compelled to yield to the demands of the powerful damios of ward organizations, Tammany has centralized the whole force of the democracy of the city in iiself and is cousequently to @ very great extent independent of the co-cperation of the petty leaders who were itherio most necessary and serviceable allies in a contest for the acquisilion of power and the pos: mon of spoils. THE GERMAN AND IRISH PARTINS. epenmgy of the campaign, Tammany will have a com- wMation to contend with thal, If not capable of Wresting from it the control of the municipal gov- ernment, will be able w secure for the city the ap- pomntinent, im at least some instances, of hon- est and upright men. A split in the Tam- many ranks presents the only hope for This, And such @ fortunate and much desired contingency 18 neither improbabie nor remote. The German political element has within the past few yoars grown To almost overshadowing proportions. It feels itself confident of victory in any political contest it may Wink proper to Wage upon its own account, even against the great Tammany dynasty and power itself. There are at present unmistak- able appearances of a coming rupture. The German Gemocracy are preparing @ list of the political dis- abiilties under which they say they have hitherto Jabored, and are drawing up a bill of nights which Wey demand snail be conceded to them. A disturb- gpce so serious as this threatens to be, no matter What the result, must extend its mfuences and operate on the Irish element—also tenacious of its ‘al rights, and, knowing them, ‘dare maintain > Here is a peck of trouble for Tammany. very concession made to the Faderlanders must more or jess be made at the expense of the Patland- ers, unless the latter are prepared to surrender their politica! supremacy in the great democratic organ) zations of this city. TAMMANY’S DIFFICULTY—THE DEMOCRATIC UNION PARTY'S OPPORTUNITY. Now here is the great chance for the democratic Daion party, which 18 not dead, but only sleepeth. The great resurrectionist of the body 1s now on his way home from Europe. Smith Hly 18 the chief under whom the democratic Union party is to be reorgan- awed and ed once more to the field. The party hav- ing discharged ali the old political hacks that were hankering after cribe from Tammany—playing a double game of fast and loose—the big judges and the jong judges, the Connolly's, the Waterbury’s and ‘the Savayes—will, under their new Jeader, present a boider, more serried and compact front than ever before. Should there be cause, therefore, for serious defiection or desertion trom the Tammany ranks, to consequence of the demands to be submitted by the German powers upon the chief red men, here will be @ rallying centre for all the disaffected, Tammauy’s difficulty in this crisis is the opportunity of the @emocrati¢ Union party. TRE REPUBLICAN PROGRAMME. ‘Then, rain, should the repubiicans carry out Jaithfully their proposed programme of pomimating in democratic districts, iu opposition ® Tammany candidates, the ablest and most popular democrat 4 each district that will accept such a nomination, er accepting as the man for their votes the chosen candidate of the democrauc Union party, an oppo- sition will be created that Tammany may not tnd it very easy to overcome. So that after all, taking these probabilities into account, with the fact tuat Tammany, ail powerlul as it 1s, and with Auch vast patronage in tis hands+and with all the éviat and prestige of past successes—is not, so sure of setung unassajied in lis high place or of ocing so potential and all contr i mm the coniest for the spolis in the coming election as may have been supposed. THR VACANCIES—THE SENATE AND ASSEMBLY. ‘The principal contest, in a party view, will be over the election of Senators and Assembiymen, OF the five Senators Taumany will nominate Messrs, Tweed, Norton, Bradley and Creamer, Te i is understood, has been jong settled upon. Hvenis may occur, however, between this and the time for the nomiuations to be publicly made known that may alter the #late ip this respect. As yet the oppo- sition have nut decided upon (heir course of action, and speculation thereon Would be of the wildest.

The mortification of these gentlemen at the utter defeat of bir.

Need I name himy €, L, Vallandigham, who preferred the General that showed him through to Dixie rather than a member of his own happy famt- ly. Envy, envy, thy name is Vallandigham. Rose- crans wants an organ at this village, Tne time- honored mouthpiece of Democracy, the Daily Bn- quirer, comes to his support with a bad grace, hav- ing heretofore villifed him in terms such as Mr. Bloss only commands. Besides, the Znquirer’s pet, Samuel Fenton Carey, and its second choice, George H. Pendleton, were ignominiously turned adrift and the doors slammed in their pretty faces. The Bn qutrer could stand almost any loss, yea,-you might “steep it in poverty to the very ilps and give to captivity it and its utmost hopes,’’ but (alas!) to tear trom the door of honor the child of its own crea- tion, the man above all others whose liie was part of its (the Anquirer’s) existence—the lover of the laborious and sweating mechanic and the hardy digger of the stubborn soil! Perhaps in the seclusion of your labors you know not the great Carey, whose sole aim and object in life is sympathy with the working millions, which is always 80 well expressed in burning words and exciting gesticulations, that the poor feed on it bountifully and no more go hungry to their humble but virtuous couches. The Hon, Carey has been called the horny-handet in derision; jet me here change that derisive smile which accompanies the epithet to a smile beaming with love and admiration, by explaining the cause of this deformity jn his hands. The streets of every city are more or less troubled with poor unfortunate co ures, who extena one hand Lowards the passer by, while their eyes are doleiuily turned toward the lunar sphere—when this sight meets the glowing aud beniguant orbs of the philanthropic Carey he trusts his fists into his breeches pocket, and overpowered at the discovery of no change, wrn his hands in awful tribulation, not being able to render suffering humanity relief, As this exercise occurs whenever the beggar is met we sould no longer wonder at the horny hands. But why is it, the oracte of the democrac; Southern Ubio should swailow Carey and endeavor to thrast rim in the maws of all its Iriends and Make wry faces at Rosecrans as an indigestib! morsel? They were both strong Unionists. Rose- crans fought and Carey spoke. They were both Generals—Rosecrang @ commander in the field, Carey a commander at home. {[t cannot be that the sage editor forgets the mind, and turns all his ad- miration on physical beauty; if this should pegso Carey bears the palm; for he is ap Apollo, with raven locks and eyes like stare. I Rave serious doubts, however, about his superior contour having influenced the judgment of the editor, and offer the following as a substitute:—General Rosecrans wile commanding armies different times found tt ab- solutely necessary to even an attempt at success, to sacritice some of his sojdiers tn battle and inflict equal punishment on the erring but sil loved brothers Gn the other side. Now, the Kaquirer loved peace nd abhorred blood, especialy if shed ona certalp side, and Carey, though raving furiousiy for the Unton, somehow disliked the roar of battle, and was fain to remain at home in the quiet seclusion of hus retreat in the suourbs of Porkopolis, His son, having forgotten the shining exampie of his noble sire, volunteered in the ranks of the Union, and the noble sire rusked madly to Columbus, thenge to Washingion, staying not to Wasi his noble phiz, auul the precious offspring was released from tne clutenes of Uncle Sam.

OSTSKILL MOUNTAINS. In the Mountains—Grandeur ef the Scenery— ‘The Kalletiood Appetites=—Sweet Slum- bern—The Storm, CAYSKILL MOUNTAINS, July 8, 1869. I write this Jetter with the lightnings playing all about me frou the piavza of the Laurel House. A tall hemlock has tis moment been riven by the lightning, and the thunder—always the most fear- ful—has aroused me to tell you something of the Manifold wonders of this cloud land, One day last week a mischievous urchin set off a pack of fire- crackers ander our windew in the city, and I shall not Say what potent Infuence it had to send us, fe, ourself and ours to the mountains, ‘Let us have peace,” onthe Fourth, said ours, and so that night found us on board the Thomas Powell, in charge of Captain Abrams. We awoke in Catskill and at noontide our pariy were safely housed m this mountaim home, I think your readers would ilke to Know firat of all some facts as to the merits of the Catskill Mountains ase summer resort. To my mind, after an intimate acquaintance of many summers with South Mount- ain, North Mountain, Cauterskill Clove, Stony Clove, the fails at the Laurel House, old High Peak—as arduous to climb and almost a8 grand as Mount Washingtou—with many other attractiony, there is no piace so near New York superior to these mount- ains, Itis no extravagance to gay that the Catskuls are the most beautiful mountains in this land. Cole, the artist, who made his residence here, has proved this, and Bryant, and many poets, artists and judges of nature’s best works have confirmed his testimony. ‘There are more sights to see, More mountains, giens, cascades, ri chasins, cloves and outlooks to climb and do tl in any other American mountains now accessible. Take an example. Yesterday we arose at two o'clock 4, M., to journey on foot some ten miles to the top of South or High Peak, ‘Thisisthe king of the Catskill, and Irving tells us the Indians have @ legend that Manitou and the great squaw spirit keep in old High Peak their treasury of storm and sunshine. This squaw spirit serves Manitou and dwells on the highest point of this peak. Here she opens her treasury wherein she brews the storm or the sunlight, When she opens her wigwani some- times sunshine Aud sometimes storms come forth, Atsix A. M. we were kindling a fire on this spot. One of our party found a wizwam but no squaw therein, lieve, afier cooking and eating a substan- tal breakfast, your eyes are feasted with the greatest panorama of beauty on this Continent. The White Moantains, two hundred miles away, seem sending forth tne san; the Highlands below Newburg are plainiy visible, Albany and Troy with their glit- tering spires are nestled down as two litie hantlets thatseem never to have- known rivairy, aud below piles on piles Of lesser mountain peaks qver which Soath Peak retgus, The Cauterekill Ciove, the richest study for artists in America, is at your feet, the falis of the Cauterskill and the Laurel House, Haines’ and other houses in these moun- tains seem hiding beneath the dense foliage as if afraid of being alone in so mach solitude of the mountains, And this is but one view of hundreds, if not thousands. Then descend to the plain, and what a dinner you enjoy of mountain food; milk that is sweet only in memory to a New Yorker, berries fresh and succulent as nature can make them; and then what delicious slumber! I have never known the sleep in other places tnat [ always find here. No mosquitoes, no heat, no moistened sea air, but dry, pure, cool and refreshing. Some people take delight tn landscape, i, e., na- ture in masses, They cannot seem to get enough of views, Standing on North Mountain, then, accessi- ble from this place at about a two or three hours! walk, any one can have his fill of varied views. To my mind North Mountain excela even High Peak. South Mountain has western and southera views, but North Mountaiu looks every way, Other people Jove nature inthe small. To such no piace in all this world can equal ube Canterskill is. They are in all 260 feet high, One can pass under the sheet of water and piuck Mowers in the very mist where the water plashes from above. Let such as love cool giens and cascades start from the steps just beiow the Laurel House, and alter view- ing the cascade, made immortal by poets, painters and travellers of ail lands, turn to the left and follow by @ ey monntain path the Canterskill to its entrance into the plain at the foot of the Clove. There 1s nothing that I have seen equal to this ramble in these or any ofber moun- tains for beauty, nor am I extravagant, for grandeur there is not in the Catsktils, except in the thunder ti and then the beauty becomes @ giant of Nowhere have | seen storms equal in sublimity to the thunder storms in the plateau overlooking the Hudson. You seem to be in the storm, and, [ night say, almost a partof it.

It ts only a matter of surprise that Its many claims for recognition should he so far lg- nored in favor of Long Rranch or Newport, for in no respect has nature done so much for either of those places as she has for Bath. The means of reaching this resort are ample enough. A horse railroad, @ dummy ditto and the steamer Water Lily soon bring the dusty denizen of the metropolis to the shades of Bath. It is also in contemplation to run a ferry from New Ydrk to the vicinity of Green- wood, 80 that excursionists can immediately take the Coney Island cars after leaving the boat. The villas of Bath have been long celebrated for their beauty and picturesque appearan Foremost among them is the lovely Kathleen villa, where the genial fa- vorite, Barney Williams, has added his own artistic taste to the Hberal gilts of nature ip constructing one of the prettiest, eovlest ard most complete little Villas to whieh any denizen of this mundane «phere could fly from the rage of Sirius.

Hannibal Hamlin, the ilrst assoolate Chief, Magi trate wita the lamented Lincoin, 19 in every sense ao true type of the backwoodsman of the old “Pine ‘Tree State.” He is as much of a representative man of the down East Yankee as was Abrabam Lincoin the perfect embodiment of the genuine and home- spun Western character. It is, in fact, doubtful if ever there was a President and Vice President asso- clated together who were more rustic and rural in their personal appearance, habits and general tem- perament than were Mr. Linsoln and Mr. Hamlin. To use a popular term, both were genuine couutry- men, but they were enevertheless “men of the period,” and they will always be remembered as having directed the affairs of the nation during the most eventful days of its history. Mr. Hamlin, as is well known, escaped the acct- dentai Presidency of the United States by the nomi- nation of Andrew Johnson at the convention which declared in favor of Mr. Lincoin for a second term, and many of the friends of Mr. Hamlin have feit happy that circumstances resulted in favor of Mr. Johnson, although they do not for a moment hesitate to declare their beltef that if fate had brought Mr. Hamiin to the accession of the Presidential chair his admiulstration would have been barren of many of those obnoxious squabbles so disgracefuily charac- teristic of that of the Tennessee President and the last Congress. Whether this pleasing and flattering unction on the part of bis friends would bave been reatized or not is a problem that can never be Large tegtt A solved. lt is safe, however, to say for Mr. Hamlin that he would have been as stubborn in his views and actions as was ever Andrew Jackson or Andrew Jobnson, and he would probably administer the public affairs accoruing <o the dictates of bis own couscience rather than in obedience to the wishes or suggestions of the radical assembly “at the other end of the avenue.” Those who know the man are well aware of this, but they are inched to the belief that his views upon the matter aud manner of re- construction, when the war closed, were more in sympathy with those of Mr, Lincoln, and that with the official mantle of the Presidency they think Mr. Hamlin would have imberited his policy, and that in falihfully executing it the country woul id have been relieved of the protracted impeachment farce, in which Ben Butier and Secretary Boutwell were the heavy actors, Ever since the retirement of Mr. Hamlin from the Vice Presidency he bas been more or Jess connected with public irs, His ambition is not satistied, and so long a8 bodily health allows his abilities full play it 1s probable that he never will be. He is deeply interested in ail to the com- mercial prosperity of Maine, and ts always foremost in securing legislation im ite behalf. Afier Mr. Lin- coln had entered upon his second term he compli- mented his old associate by making him Collector of the port of Boston, @ position which he filled very ac- ceptably, and probably would have continued in if he could have swallowed the policy of Andrew Jotin- son, The potion was too nauseous for tim, however, and he resigned. Mr. Hamlin’s administration of fairs at the Boston Custom House was particularly acceptable op account of the unpopularity of his predeceasor, Where Mr, Goodrich bad made mis- takes the ex-Vice President gained wisdor from his experience, and in governing himself accordingly won a great mauy friends among the mercantiie community of Boston. The victory of Mr. Hamlin in securing an election Jast winter to the United Staves Senate, in spite of & most formidauie opposition, is but a single sluatra- tion of his appreciation by the people of this most re- move of the Hastern States. Since bis election he has been a close observer of public affairs, aud on such matters a8 reconstroction and the adjustment of the Alabama claims he entertains very positive and original views, and they will be given to the couatry mn avery unmistakable manner when he takes his sweatin the senate. Being @ practical business man, rather than a poiiticlan or a political philosopher, | incline to the opinion that ois career in the United States Senate will be In the direction of repairing the shattered financial and industrial machinery of the country, One thing i certain, however—he will be heard from, aad if he does not aspire tu be one of the leaders of the Senate he will take a very active part in everything of importance that may come be- fore that body. During the past few days Mr. Harlin has been in New Bedford, Mass,, for the purpose of negotlatiy the bonds of tiis city in aid of the Karopean an North American way. He returned {rom there this fei 4 having disposed of them to New Bed- ford capitalists to the amount of over a hundred thouraud dollars. UNSAFE.
