THE SECRETARY OF WAR.

We must decline the communications from
Albany, replying with great severity to the attack
of the Alias on Gov Marcy and, indeed, on Pre-
sidens Polk We do not consider the matter OF
sufficient moment 10 merit reply. The Atlas,
as we have more than once demonstr does
not represent any party Of the People, bul mere
ly very limited clique of politicians by profess
sion, whose purposes and interests are dameri-
cally opposed to tho.e of the great body of the
Republican party. Indeed the Atlas has no
circulation Of consequence, and it is quite GER
tain it cannot exist many months longer.
AS 10 the Presidents appointment of the Sc
cretary Of Wa, we have sufficient evidence in
the liberal and well-eslablished journals of the
State, to know that it was popular appoint
ment, and gave far more satisfaction than the
selection Of any of the favorites of the Atlas
would have done.
We venture to say there is not another press,
pretending 10 be Democratic, in the State of
New York. that will utter one word Of dis.atis-
faction at the appointment Of w. L. MARCY.
By way Of contrast to the strictures of the
Alias, we append the following confident re-
marks from the Albany ARGUS:
The next four years will be pregnant with great
events. Texas will be the mother OF States, and
Oregon will be occupied by our government. These
measures will create some feeling in England, but
President Polk is the man for The crisis In his ex-
tended patriotism and sound judgment his country
men repose tba, confidence which gives him the pow
er to act with effect, while in his 6rmness integrity
AMI attachment to his native land foreign nations III
perceive that he will ask nothing bot what is right,
and submit to nothing wrong" This commanding
moral attitude will at once the rights, while il
will preserve the pc ,ce Of our country"

SATURDAY EVENING, MARCH IS, ls45.
FALSE ALARMS.

Some of the Wing letler-wrilers are striving
10 create belief that great dissatisfaction pre-
walls in various sections of the Democratic par
,y, and that the Administration is soon TO be
overwhelmed with internal discord. This is
labor in vain. There is no hostility meditated
by any portion Of the Democratic People against
the President-and there will be no rupture, or
anything resembling it.
Both parties desire repose and tranquility !;
and the mutterings Of few disappointed clique
leaders will moi suffice to throw The country into
an excitement, any more than a few wind-in-
struments could agitate The ocean.
The country cares nothing about the pretend
ed grievances Of unsuccessful Office. seekers: il
only desires wise and honest administration Of
the Government. And if Mr.. Polk and his
Cabinet will only secure the latter, the masses
will protect them against the resentments of the
former. The measures of men in power live
after them: but mere rewards and punishments
by those in authority, by means Of appointments
and removals, can never add to statesman's
fame. BY appointing partisan to office, and
dsmissing man when no official misconduct is
alleged against him, if the one should be true
and grateful, the other will be incensed and re.
vengeful. Whereas, a good administrative
measure of The Government subserves the inte-
rests of the whole country, and showers its ben
efts equally on friend and foe.
We repeat that for any clique, or any section,
to attempt to produce an excitement in the Re-
publican party TO intimidate the Executive, or to
coerce the Administration into the adoption of
an improper course of conduct, would be to at
tempt an impossibility. The policy Of the head
of the Government, so far, has met the unequi-
vocal appreciation of the entire, or almost the
entire, party which elected him; and a perseve-
rance in that mild and concilatory course, will
undoubtedly continue 10 receive their approval
IL is 100 late now for certain restless politicians
to object to Mr. Folks conduct; they will only
have their labor for their pains. No committals,
further than his principles, and the policy of bis
Republican predecessors, were required of him
and now it is too late to demand that he shall
become subservient to the selfish schemes of
those who may strive TO succeed him.

UNITED STATES LEGATION,

MACAO, April "a, 1874.
SIR: have the honor to acknowledge the receipt
of the letter addressed to me by your Exceency on
the 2lst instant, and have considered its contents.
In that letter you state that the Transmission and
return of dispatches between Canton and the capital
occupy about fifty days, while in your letter of the
II instant the time is fixed at abou three months.
This difference of expression produces uncertainty
IN very important PARTICULAR and that uncertain
is increased by the circumstances that nowhere dis
tnciy appears in your ExceIiencys several letters
what day you reported to the Emperor the arrival of
the legation.
am thus left in doubt not only as TO the number
of days but as TO the time when those days began to
run.
As to The other ponts touched upon in your EI-
celiepeys commu nicaton, IL seems to me qunc upne
ccssary to continue discuss them appears
that, Notwithstanding the notice given last autumn OF
the arrival OF the American legation, you were for
hidden by your Government to receive the legation,
or even so much as to exchange the most ordinary
cnurosies with any Of the pubic officers Of The Uni-
ted States.
lean only assure your ExcelIency that this is not
the way for China TO cultivate good will nd maintain
peace. The late war with England was caused by
the conduct ofthe authorities at Canton disregard
inv the rahls of public officers who represented the
English Government
If in the face of the experience of the last FIVE
years the Chinese Government now revers TO anti
quated customs, which have already brought such
disasters upon her, it can be regarded in other
light than as evidence that she invites and desires
fwar with the other great Western Powers.
The United States would oncereIy regret such a
result. We have desire whatever to hismember
the territory Of the Empire. Our citizens have at all
times deportcd themselves here in just and respect
full manner. The position and policy of the United
States enable to be the most disneresed and the
most valuable Of The friends Of China have fiat
tered myself therefore, and cannot yet abandon the
hope that the Imperial Government will Gee the wis
dom of promptly welcoming and Of cordially respond
iog to The amicabe assurances Of the Government Of
the United States.
In this expectation, have the honor orce more TO
subscribe myself, with due consideration, your Ex
celencys obedient servant,
