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-
sidenr Polk We do not consider the matter of
sufficient moment TO merit reply. The Atlas,
as we have more than once demonstrated does
not represent any party of the People, but mere
ly very limited clique Of politicians by profess
sion, whose purposes and interests are diamesri-
cally opposed TO those 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 to the Presidents appointment of the Sc
cretary of Wal, we have sufficient evidence in
the liberal and weh-establshed journals of the
State, 10 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 to be Democratic, in the State Of
New York, that will utter one word of dissatis-
faction at the appointment of w. l.. MARCY.
BY way of contrast to the structures of the
Atlas, 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 that confidence which gives him the pow
to act with effect, while in his frmness integrity
and attachment to his native land foreign nations will
perceive that he will ask nothing but what is right
and submit to nothing wrong" This commandiDa
moral attitude will at the rights, while il
will preserve the peace of our country"

FALSE ALARMS.

Some of the Wing letter writers are striving
10 create belief that great dissatisfaction pre-
walls 10 various sections ~ the Democratic par
,y, aud thar the Adm nislration is soon to be
oyerw Inclined with Internal discord This is
labor in vain. The,e is no hostility meditaed
by any portion OF the Democratic People against
the President--au'd there will be no rupture, or
anything resembling it,
Both parties desire repose and tranquility /;
and the mutterings of few disappointed Clique
leaders will MT suffice 10 throw the country into
an exciement, any more than a few wind-in-
struments could agtate the ocean.
The country cares nothing about the pretend
ed grieys nces of unsuccessful office seekers IT
only de- ires wise and honest administration Of
the Government And if Mr.. Polk and his
Cab net will only secure the latter, the masses
wN. protect them against the resentmenls oil the
former The measures OF men in power live
after them but mere rewards and punlshmenIs
by those in authority, by means OF appointments
and removals. can never add to a statesman's
fame. by appointing partisan TO office, and
dismissing a man when no official MISCONDUCT rs
alleged against him, If the one should be True
and grateful, the other will be incensed aud re-
vengsful. Whereas, a good administrative
measure of the Government subserves the inte-
rests of the whole country, and showers It's ben
efts equally on friend and foe.
We repeat thar for any clique, or any section,
to auemp, to produce an excitement in the Re
publican party TO inmidare 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 unequ-
vocal appreciation of the entire, or almost the
entire, party which elected him and perseve-
rance in that mild and conciliatory course, will
undoubtedly continue to receive their approval.
Ii is 100 late now for certain restless politicians
TO object to Mr. Folks conduct; they will only
have their labor for their pains. No commttals,
further than his principles, and the policy of his
Republican predecessors. were required OF him
and now il is too late to demand that he shall
become .ubservient to the selfish schemes of
those who may strive to succeed him.

WARHrSe A little girl in this city, several nights
since, in looking for something which she had ecci
dcntaIly dropped the chamber floor, near the bed
in which her sister was asleep, brought the candle
near to the covering as to communicate the fame.
Unconscious Of what she had done, she returned to
the parlor and resumed her seat in the family circls
