NEW YORK PoLITIGs-OLD HUSKERs AND RARNBURNERs-Man is lallibe being; why should expect nations, governments, and parties to be infalbel Error Is common Q all things; and the frank admission ot error is only say ing that we wiser to day lhan we were yesterday. One of our core spoadents calls np0n us to explain the meaning el the two divisions ef the democratic party m this state, known as "Oid fiunkers" and i ..Barnburuers We cannoot do il in few lines, and, therefore. as matter of history, we will go somewhat in detail

 Old Hunkers are know as that portion ei the party unwilling 10 sacrifice personal interest to political principle. They are in favor ol federal expendi- tue of public money for internal improvements They like to see thsir farms increase in value-to see engineers at work, excayators, loekmen, boat

 men, toll collectors ito see money circulate, and country stores spring up. They are not opposed to few corporations occasionally. They like specula. tiens are not inmcal 10 banks, rather fond of high protective duties, and are no friends ts sub ireasuries. In short, they the speculative, mo- ney making portion ot the party.

 The Barnbuners are like the monks or La Trappe rigid dIsclplnaians, standing by the usages of the party as a holy duty--opposed 10 all projects of in iernal improvement which will take money from the hands of the people, without corresponding beneh bent on preserving the credit of the siaie-oppos ed to taxing the people by exiravagant duties to pro tect ID n4n,actures--op posed 10 nonopolies o all Manifestations to separate banks from government, and desrous of carrying their measures by the pow CT of party discipline if they cannot carry them by their intrinsic merit In short, the Hunkers are ihe true and liberal portion of the party, and they only extend tber hand to you further thun they can draw il hack. If you go with them, they will go with you; if you do no endorse all their plans, they go over incontinenty to the enemy.

 The Barnburners are stringent in their measures, honest in their views. and sometimes proscrp' tive in their opinions. These two wings are in di- rect opposition, and never could be reconciled or act together, il not for the adoption of the new constitution, which will bring them together hereai- ter like two figs in n jar, from the simple fact that the organic law of the state leaves them nshng to quarrel about.

 All the patronage of the governor has been trans ferred the people, the state credit ls preserved b, allowing no heavy appropriations to be made by the legislature, without the cOnsen o the people ali monopolies abrogated. and the Hnnker wing is thus deprived of the eiirr ue, which has so far preserved them; while the Baruburners. having car ried all the reforms they required, are content to believe that the state is saved and their principles unsullied

 | This is the distinction and classification of the two sections of the party, whose divisions have giv- en the state to inc whigs, and who can recover Il the m,ment they are united.
