New York barber, baaeTing the town down around
the ears Of the Gothamites on some fine morning,
but by civil, rather uncivil war in the house.
hold of faith-a war of the roses upon field Of
pennyroil But it has come. We are in the midst
OF the strife, deadly erocious, and hot as furnace.
The bold and startling charges of the Daily Times,
OF lnis city, the ndomitable organ OF the radicals,
secured Tor that democratic unctionary from the do
mocratc Senator from Georgia, on Monday last, an
eulogium which nobody doubted would receive the
timely acknowledgements OF the happy editor. Pur-
sIan. 20 TINS general expectation, Mr.. Robinson
VINO was called from Cincinnati expressly to keep the
administration up,to the maximum of 81 40 pays his
devoirs to Mr. Coquitt, this evening, in a series Of
complimentary remarks extending through upwards
Mr.. Colquitt's fialtering epiihets Of "iiar" and
"scoundre," Mr. Robinson applies the suQared sub-
stantves Of "blackguardsm," ga tool" and
ga cats paw" used BY the intriguers to rake
Senator Colquift, that he has been known
in Georgia to plead case in court, to make q
stump speech, preach sermon, and marry couple
between the rising and the setting q ne s sun But
for business, the warllke and emo quarter asking
temper Of the Tunes, threatens to pin him to the
wall. The rejolnder Of MIR. Robinson to the speech
OF the honorable Senator, is unquestIoIaoly
strong, savage, and scathing assault. While 1t ex-
cupates the Senator from the odium OF being par
ticlpant IN the alleged reasonable caucus at the Ia
pie OF the British Minister, il charges him with be-
ing the onedient and supple tool Of the guilty con-
clave. The allegations Of this reasonable con-
splracy are repeated, and investigation defied
and unless the wings, charged as being the prime
movers In this traorous plot call investigation,
Of the astounding indictment. We may anticipate,
therefore, some further proceedings in the
Senate upon this subject. The integrity Of
the Senate demands It on the one hand,
and the truth imperatvely requires it on The
other. One thing we know; WING Senators
have too frequently INDUCED IN public in social
conversations with the British Minister, to be unas-
sailable by suspicion. Proper, from a sense Of
courtesy, and the obligations Of common politeness.
as these casual conversations have been, they have,
nevertheless, excited the jealous vigilance and sus-
piclon OF the Sparans, who, at this crisis, would
as soon think OF a gunpowder plot AZ OF shaking
hands with Mr.. Pakenham.
But there are suspicious equally strong on tho
other side. II Is suspected and the peculiar phrase
ology Of Mr.. Colquitt's eulogium indicates Il, that
the offensive article OF the Times OF THURSDAY Iast
was not the indicated movement Of the editor nor
was it with the sole view OF bringing his paper 20
the attention OF the public but the impression !:
entertained, and largely believed, that the editorial
in question was by direct or tact authority, o,css
ton, assent, and endorsement OF certain members
OF the Spartan Band. We believe 1t no more than
we accredit the mysterious and reasonable caucus,
said to have been held over the dinner-tabe Of the
as counteracting suspicion. Nothing but the most
desperate exigency would suggest sucn an exPooi,
ent to the Spartans to coerce the compromise
division to the Russian boundary Inc case,
then, simply stands thus: The Spartans charge
treason upon the Athenlans, to compel them
to submission, or the Athenians coalesce with
the enemy, for the subversion Of the Spartans;
or in palmer terms Me ,Se Isss ana IN none

or upon the other side, Cass and Allen are to be de-
feated even at the price Of Oregon, the harmony 81

without understanding his cue, in placing tho Ex-

prehensive that "a 40 is an obsoete idea, ana tnst

that mastery inactivity" which. thus Tar, they
have so much condemned. The policy Of !" mas.

Of 81 40.
Ii is evident that the crpose Of Senator Haywood
is producing some effect, and those anxious to retain
the favor Of an administration which has yet three
years Of power and patronage, will be less rampant
for Buncombe, upon 81 40. than Of late and bring
them TO the test, will challenge you upon several
Of the most furious, who will passvely walk down
from Russia to the line Of forty-nine.
We are indebted to MIR. Wyndham KObeYtson,
Jr, of Virginia, for a copy Of his late work upon
Oregon We shall have something to say about
this book tomorrow, and Of certain facts and ciI-
cumstances connected with Il, and Its auhor wnicn
will throw little more light upon the position OF
the administration From this book, OF Itself, we
pledge you the strongest testimony In cororooration
Of the speech OF Senator Haywood.
