This list only embraces the offices in the gift of Co.
vernon Beucke-worth, including pickings and steal.
ings, $3.50 600 per annum. The offices in the gift of
the President and Senate of the general government,
consisting of the Custom House, Post Office, &C.,
will, we understand, be distributed according to the
new Republican General Committee of Tammany
Hall, to be chosen some time this month. II a few
members OF the present committee had influence
with Captain Tyler to retain Mr.. Curtis in office,
new committee can easily WELD power to turn ont
all the present officers of the General Government.
However, the election Of the new Tammany Re-
publican Committee will be important The Mill
tary Hall Committee, of which M. NJ Noah is
chairman-the Free Trade Association, which is
the organ of the friends Of Mr.. Calhoun--er any
other committee, seem to have little or influence
with the President. He only recognises the Tam
many Hall committee the representative of the
true democracy-and if that committee want
complete change in the present public Offices in
New York-perhaps worth 1856, 900, we have no
doubt it will be effected.
The corporation patronage, which is the greatest
of any, will remain in the hands of the wings till the
next spring elections The people will then decide
who shall have it, and doubt the contest will be
warm and the scrabble great In these hard times,
the distribution of offices worth 81 700 600 per an
mum, is of the greatest elements of political in
fuence in the country 1t can decide the Pres-
dency, and no mistake. This wonderful power will
be principally in the hands of the new Republican
General Committee, who, as the living representa-
tive of the democracy of New York, can possess
greater influence with the Governor and State Sc
nate-wth the President and United States Senate,
and with the next Common Council, than any other
body, or club of men, in the city. They will also
possess the power to utter the first word and shake
the key note in favor of the democratic candidate
for the Presidency, by indicating their choice among
the following list Lewis Cass, Martin Van Blu
rem, John c. Calhoun, John Tyler Col. Johnson
Commodore Stewart, and Thomas H. Benton
There will be mighty struggle for this committee
Every thing is in the wind in politics and spoils.
