These two divisions of ihe Democratic party
of New York keep il up in (.'oi.grea* and through
the press. The •' Soli*,*' under ICteruiive pat-
.-on age and favor, have herttofore hid the upper
hand ; but the " Hani " member* Mike Walsh
and V. K. C'litiina are bringing "p llieir wing
handsomely in the tiOUte of KepresenUiivHS. A
Washington letter UiUI notices Cutting's speech
on the difference between the two factions :
" Mr. (-. went into a history of the divisions
of the two wings of ihe democracy in N. York,
slating ihe principle? held by each, and the course
they had each puisued in reference to pertain na-tional
questions nfgreat importance. Ilia remarks
elicited very decided approbation as he proceed-ed
wilh them, and, when he closed, Mr. Daily
went acro-sthe IInil, tendered him his hand, con-gratulated
I.mi on his interesting speech, and as.
mired him thai he wa* with him. Many oiher

highly graiilied by his speech, which certainly
