Yor k daily remonstrances and deputatisns against
the Conservative appointments IN the Custom Houee.
and thre ats, open and undsgused against the cleo
tion oe the organ as printer to the House-trom
every quarter the most unchartable specuatlons and
susplcio respecting the appointment OF McLane to
Engiand,r.froni every section apprehensions as to
the stabl llty OF Mr.. Buchanan upon our 'nque
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
that Captain Polk Is the very crucbe OF torture per-
plexity 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 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 If not before, on, shortly after the
re-assembing of Congress, there must follow par
tIal 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
nnprejudiced, the policy OF Col Polk IS conserya-
tive and commendabe. His object is the concia-
tion Of all chques by as fair distribution OF the
'sspoils'' as possible. And while he snccumbs TO
the necessity OF obedience, the requIsons OF re-
tallatve prescription, his conscience evidently goes
not with him in the work Yet his very delay IN
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
pose the Offices then all to be filled; the thousands
OF unsatisfed claimants, for share In being cut
effectively from the prospect OF patronage, would
fall back, or large proportion OF them, into the
ranks Of the opposition There is safety, therefore,
in the suspension Of the work OF rotation, for while
there wings to be displaced, there hopes for
the ten thousand expectants who never can be gra-
tilted with even smell of the treasury chowder
pot in any event whatever. 1t will not be strange,
therefore, that at the next Presidential Congress,
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
into power. The bonds Of party-party principles
party associations and party measures, are power
less against the power OF the spolls And the difii-
Guilty TO their distribution by Col Polk, Is the lea-
lousy OF the clques 10 the influence which each
is likely to obtain In the choice of the succession.
His audable policy on the other hand, to evade a
commitment of an advantage to any faction, seems
only calculated to bring down upon hlm and his or
gan the combined opposition OF all.
HIS appointments clearly indicate this neutral po-
hey, and the malgn opposition of the several clans,
and their active agents in Polks election as clearly
exhibit their discovery of his unexpected, and
precedented plan of operations Stand fast, Mr.. Pre-
sident, stand fast There lsno recedlng nowhere
is, no time to pause and reconsider the system
adopted. A little more of the iron villa little less
Of John Tyler's hexibihty, little more of mpera-
tive decislon and promptitude OF nexorable action,
viii soon give you the control of the cablnet-the
command of Congress, and the tacit assent and CO.
operation of the cliqucs
There is too much closeting and caucussing upon
the consequences of this or that experimentation
much hesitation to act, and too much available rea-
dlness to retract An amable President is weak
President-a prompt, energetic, and irrevocabe ac-
ton, either in the retention, rejection, appoint
ment Of subordinate is the only course. In this
hour OF bitter trial and perpexity let the neutral
press stand by the administration, and encourage
and advise him, otherwise the squabble for the
spois will upset all the great measures contemplated
IN his election, Of the re-estabshment OF the Sub
Treasury-the reduction Of the Tariff-the annexa-
ary and the acquisition of California.
