West the people OF that region are suncientiy re-
the government. i should not be at all surprised,
however, if New England is represented in the re-
naming portion of the Cabinet. With regard to
faence will prevail there the greatest extent;
and have every reason TO believe that Vice-Pre-
sdent Dallas himself will be in the position of an
adviser to the President, and even more cordially
united to him than ever has taken place before in
the administration OF any previous President
There will be perfect union between Mr.. Polk
and Mr.. Dallas in all their movements

office will be made, and the plan the new Presi-
dent has in view, which is to represent and con-
suit all sections of the democracy, to unite them
into one firm and decided party, in order that the
carried out without dread from any quarter OF
the opposition. Mr.. Polk declares he will be
the President of the whole nation. not OF one
party. and that the reasonable will and rights
OF the minority will receive his deferential re-
gard as well as those Of the majority; above all,
that the movement that carried him into power
decided the foreign and domestic policy wnicn
meet the concurrence Of his supporters, and which
he is bound to carry out On the Texas question,
his views have frequently been given, and ne will
adhere to the principle OF immediate annexation
at all hazards. So with respect to Oregon. be-
lieve, SO far as can understand his sentiments,
that he concurs fully in the measures OF the pre-
sent administration, and particularly in the ener-
getic policy of Mr.. Calhoun, in relation to these
questions 1t would do your heart good to hear old
Gen, Jackson, with one foot in the grave and the
other out OF it-dlscoursing on the relative posi-
ton OF this country as regards England, France,
Russia, and the whole civilized world He thinks
that we have the whole British Government en-
tirely IN our power, and that we can compel her to
accede to all our views OF policy, and so divide
the European governments as to foil England, par
touiary In her design in the old as well as the new
world.
With respect to the actual removal of the pre-
sent public officers cannot speak with any dehni
ever, that with regard to New York, your present
Collector will retain his position some time longer
but that the District Attorney, the Marshal, and
the Postmaster will be removed q few weeks after
the PRESIDENTIAL inauguration. You will soon hear
from me again, and learn events as they are de-
velOped. ARGUS.
The AMENpE HoNoRABLE.-C Colonel Webb, OF
the regular army, has not yet permitted his man
Friday explain or justify his course in regard to
Mr.. Willis We do not know what may be in the
wind in relation to this matter, bat we do think
that the Colonel is bound, by every principle Of
justice and honor, to say something, after the very
satisfactory statement of Mr. Willis. It is not at all
in keeping with the character Of man of honor and
integrity, and who wishes to conduct respectable
press, to make naked charges of licentiousness
against contemporary, without some show OF
evidence and some show of proof. We are quite
certain that all reasonable and honorable men in
the community expect the Courier to say some
thing further in this matter, and not allew it to
remain in the present disgraceful position, if it be
possible to give it any other.
While we are on this subject, we have also to
request our amable contemporary. Greeley, to
toro .rto -
toned 10 HIM. We again assure him-and we defy
him to produce the slightest evidence to the con-
trary-that his charges in relation to this journal
ever being bought by, or being under the supervi-
sion of, locofoco committee, are utterly false
The political course Of this journal is directed by
It's proprietor, and no committee of politicians or
Statesmen, of any party, or Of all pariesput togeth
er, could in single instance put their finger in the
smallest portion of it's politics. Come, Mr.. Gree
ley, out with apology for this atrocious charge
against US, or out with the proof. We don't care
which alternative you choose.
SINGULAR NEWSPAPER MovENENT.-The Ne,c
York american, which has been in existence
twenty years,-attery very feeble, asthmatic ex-
stence,-announced, last evening, that it would be
united with the Courier and Enquirer on Monday
next, an announcement which has taken every one
by surprise.
When papers of long established standing are
thus united, an impression is, somehow or other,
generally drawn, adverse to the strength of either.
Several indications have, Of late been given forth
by the Courier and Enquirer and american that
they were assimilating in certain respects; and
one OF these indications, of very pertinent char
acter, was that of the anende honorable made by
the Courier to the house of Barring q Brothers, for
some SANDERS published four years ago in its
columns. It seems that Mr.. Charles King is also
to be connected, as associate editor, with Mr..
Webb This is the strongest part of the arrange
ment, and we predict that this union will not las,
long, for both of the gentlemen are too obstinate
and head .srong, each In his own way. II one Of
the leading exchange houses in Wall street has no,
made this arrangement for the benefit of the editor
of the american it is just as likely that it ismerey
q decent way Of dylng-a process through which
every body has known, tor months past, the Ameri-
cav was doomed TO pass The truth il, Willis il
starting his evening paper, has more affected the
position Of the American, than any other thing
which has taken place recently. The future course
of the Courier, under its new management, will be
a subject of amusement to us, and observation
hereafter.
VERY LATE FROM NEW GRENADA.-The packet
brig Chaires, Captain Furber, arrived yesterday in
twenty-five days passage from Carthagena.
Among her passengers are the Hon. William M
Blackford, u. s. Charge d'afaires to New Grena-
da, and VIM. w. Blackford his private SECRETARY.
We learn from Mr.. BIackford that Mr.. Totten,
the American contractor to cut a canal at New
Grenada, has gone on very successfully, and much to
the safactien Of the Government. 1t was supposed
that it would be finished in about three years. The
first ground was broken on the 9th Of December,
which operation was witnessed by great number
OF people. All the contractors employed on the
canal are Americans.
good deal Of dissatisfaction was felt at the re-
moval Of Mr.. Sanchez, the American Consul at
New Grenada 1t seems that he was much liked
