York daily remonstrances and deputations agains,
the co nservative appointments IN The Custom House
and thr eats open and undisguised, against the eec
ton cf the organ printer TO the House-tron
every qu arter the most uncharitabe speculaons ano
suspicious respecting the appointment OF McLane 10
Engiand-from every section apprehensions as 10
the stability OF Mr.. Buchanan upon our ''unquestlon-
able right to the Oregon Territory; and TO crown
all, ranking 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 crucbe OF torture per-
plexity and modification
What will be the result OF these internal dlssen-
sions In the family South Carolina demands the
discharge OF Mr.. Buchanan-Msslssippl OF Walker
the barnbuners of York State equally bent up
on the sacrifice of Marcy; and as we predicted
months ago, we see no hope of harmony-no pro-
spec OF peace, except IN the reorganization OF the
Cabinet; and II not before, on, shortly alter the
re-assembling OF Congress, there must follow a par
ual or thorough dissolution and reorganization, IN
which event nothing will appease the great Wesi
except the appointment of Benton or Allen to the
Department OF State and the Oregon negotiations.
Now, to man with half an eye, dislnterested and
unprejudiced, the policy OF Col. Polk is conserya
ton OF all cllques by is fair distribution OF tht
"spols'' possible. And while he succumbs to
the necessity OF obedience, 10 the requisons OF re-
talatve prescription, his conscience evidently goes
not with him in the work Yet his very delay III
this ungrateul Duty is perhaps his only alternative
OF preservation For there Is truth IN the remark OF
Mr. Cah0un, that polltlcdl party Is

pose the Offices fhen all TO be filed; the thousands
of unsatisfied claimants tor share IN being cul
effectively from the prospect OF patronage, would
fall back, or a 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 eypectans who never can be gra-
tifed with smell of the treasury chowder
pot, In any event whatever. Ii 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 It's canddat
into power. The bonds of party-party principles
party associations and party measures, are power
less against the power OF the spolls And the diff
Guilty to their distribution by Col Polk, is the iea-
lousy OF the ciques TO the influence which each
is likely to obtain in the choice of the succession.
His laudable policy on 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-
hey, and the maign opposition of the several clans,
and their active agents in Polk's election clearly
exhibit their discovery OF his unexpected, and un-
precedented plan of operations Stand fast, Mr.. Pre-
sldent, stand fast There is no recedng now-there
ls no time TO pause and reconsider the system
adopted little more OF the iron villa little less
of John Tyers fexblity, little more of impera-
tive decision, and promptitude OF memorable action,

operation of the cliques
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 amlable 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
spoils will upset all the great measures contemplated
IN hls election, OF the re-estabshment OF the Sub
lreaSury-tne reduction Iarltf-the
tlon of Texas the settlement of the Oregon bound
ary, and the acquisition of California.
