THE OFFICIAL ORGAN.

Next in intensity TO the anxiety to know who
would be appointed TO the Cabinet, is the almost
universal desire TO know what paper will be Sc
lecied as the official organ. Some wish it may
be this, some that, and some The other. We
hope it may be one that has never given, and
is never likely to give, offence TO any section or
swing" Of the great Republican party; and
such being The case, no man, no press, whatev-
er disappointment it may produce, will conin-
ue TO utter any reproaches against the President
for selecting any confidential friend he may be
pleased 10 designate, TO conduct it, AS well
might politician insist on being chosen con-
stiiuliOnal adviser of the President, as for a
press TO insist upon being his organ. But we
think that the fortunate press, whether il shall
be any Of those now in existence, or one to be
created, should be willing TO propose some
such arrangement to the others, as would, OF
should, render satisfaction. The official Jour
nal, during this Administration, can afford to
extend a liberal indemnity to the unsuccessful
candidates.

CLIQUES DISAPPOINTED.

The Government glides on smoothly not
w'thstanding there are some grumblers TO be
found, as they are always 10 be found, in vari-
Gus sections. But they are few and far be-
tween, and all the intervening millions are
pleased with the course taken by the new Exc
cutive.
Every section or branch OF the Republican
party no doubt INDUCED the hope that it would
have prevailing influence with the President.
The Northern wing supposed they chad" him
1.-The Western wing were quite "sure of him"--
The Southern wing too relied upon monopoly of
him-but 10 il turns out that he is his own
man, and that he pays no special regard TO any
particular locality or faction. He recognises no
difference, and makes no distinction in the party.
He is the impartial President of the whole par
" and OF the whole country aud while the pc
cuar friends Of all the aspirants for AS are GER
tainlv disappointed, and slightly chagrined, yet
they find consolation in the discovery that this
chagrin and disappointment prevails universally
among all the mere intriguing politicians while
the People are generally rejoicing in its existence
and applauding the man who had the bodness
to produce il. Certainly no President so far
ever eyinced more skill and frmness in The
management Of the factions, than Mr.. Polk.
Some Of the friends Of the last Administra-
lion likewise feel disappointed-but not US.
They hoped Mr.. Polk would renew all Mr. Ty-
lers nominations that had not been acted on by
the Senate-but we did not We knew the
most powerful clique in America had decreed
that none'of them should be revived, and fur
Their, that all those in should go out. We are
satisfied with the result. We are content 10

day exhibit:

William II. Polk, Charge to Naples and Mr.
Jewett, of Maine as Charge to Peru, in the place OF
MIR. Bryan. new nomination was also made in the
place OF Vespasian Ellis, now Charge ct Venezuela
Among the other appointments confirmed, we also

port Of New York. and of Benjamin F. Butler, a.
