Yor k daily remonstrances and deputattsns sgains,
the Conservative appointments In the Custom House,
and tire ats open and undisgused against the cleo
uon q the organ as printer 10 the House-from
every quarter the most unchartable specuations and
suspico ms respecting the appointment Of McLane to
England every section apprehensions as TO
the stabl lty of Mr.. Buchanan upon our "nqueston-
able right" to the Oregon Territory; and to crown
all, ran king jealousy Of every clique that every
other clique but itself is held in Executive favor;
jealousy which has increased, is increasing, and
cannot be diminished, will show you at glance
that Captain Polk is the very crucibe Of torture, per-
plexlty and modification
What will be the result of these internal dssen-
sions in the family South Carolina demands the
discharge of Mr.. Buchanan Mississippi of Walker
the barnbu rners of York State are equally bent up
on the sacr flee OF Marcy; and as we predicted
months ago, we see no hope Of harmony-no pro-
spect OF peace except in the reorganization OF the
Cabinets and IT not before, on, or shortly after the
re-assembling OF Congress, there must follow par
ual or thorough dissolution and reorganization, in
which event nothing will appease the great West
except the appointment of Benton or Allen to the
Department OF State and the Oregon negotiations
Now, to man with half an eye, dslnterested and
unpreudiced, the policy of Col. Polk is conserya-
tive and commendabe. His object is the conc,a-
tion Of all clques by fair distribution OF the
"spoils' possible. And while he snccuInbs to
the necessity of obedience, TO the acquisitions OF re-
tallative prescription, his conscience evidently goes
this ungrateful duty is perhaps his only alternative
of preservation. For there IS truth IN the remark OF
Mr. Calhoun, that political party is held together
by the cohesive power Of the public plnnder Sup

ranks OF the opposition There is safety, therefore,
in the suspension of the work Of rotation, for while
there wings to be displaced, there are hopes for

large body, the balance OF power, from disappointed
expectations OF reward should wheel about into the
ranks OF the opposite party and carry Its candidates

lousy OF the citques as TO the influence which each
is likely to obtain in the choice of the succession.
His laudable policy the other hand, to evade
commitment of an advantage to any faction, seems
only calculated TO bring down upon him and his or
gan the combined opposition of all.
HIS appointments clearly indicate this neutral po-
cy and the malign opposition of the several clans
and their active agents in Polk's election clearly
exhibit their discovery OF his unexpected, and un
sldent, stand fast. There is recedlng nowhere
is no time to pause and reconsider the system
adopted. A little mo- 81 the iron villa lttle less

There is too much closeting and caucusslng upon
the consequences of this or that experimentation
much hesitation to act, and too much available rea-

hour Of bitter trial snd perpexiy, let the neutral
press stand by the administration, and encourage
