The tariff question is involved IN great doubt
since the recent vioien, outbreak on the part OF
portion Of the democrats drlcTauon from OH 70,
who have heretofore been considered favorable
10 the bll. Mr.. BnnkeIhof. IN his speech, de-
clared that he spoke by authority when he a.
serted that the members Of his party from that
State would not under any circumstances sup
port the bil OF The Secretary OF the Treasury M
at present reported. This drclaraiion has causcd
great excitement and dismay on the part of the
administration andthe friends Of the bll general
ly. The Unioa has an exceedingly dolei,l nrtcle
upon the subject in ycsteiday's paper lu the
course of his remarks Mr b spoke OF fhls journal
as the "weak and cracked organ OF the admins
traton," and repudiaied the editor as well ne t.-
State in which Mr.. Richie is always thanking
God that he was born. The act -, and Il cannot
be denied thar the course OF this Gentleman aud
his press, has done infinite mischief Amongst the
friends OF the President, aud has disgusicd and
driven from HIM large aud very aide poriloa OF
the democratic party, and possess no prophetic
spirit when | declare 20 You that IN twelve
months time, press VIII BE- rstablishcd in this
city, I'm opposition TO The UHtsH) which will
strictly support democratic principles and policy,
based upon just aud equitable grounds, but which
instead of coniining is devotion TO "A particular
portion (or segmen) OF that great party, will adj
vocate and sustain the entire unbroken interests
of the whole. Jackson Hall Is gradually develop
ing itseli, and the fearless editors of the Globe
are still in existence.
Mr.. Folks position is certainly no, an agreeable
one, and | should not be nj all surprised TO see
him, before his four years have expired, in "A sm-
lar position with his unenvied predecessor, Qhat
ls) entirely without party IN either branch OF
Congress. In fact, II is pretty much the ease ut
present, for all tho cardinal measures OF the adj
ministration, so far during the present session,
have been either defeated or changed us TO lose
almost entirely their original identity. Mr.. Blu
chanan, Notwithstanding your editorial remarks
Of Monday 10 the contrary, has been nominated TO
the Supreme Bench and the President II is SAID,
is sadly puzzled 10 select a successor Mr. Walker
iti probable viii be appointed al interim; this
gentleman, however, is at present so much OF an
Invalid, to be unable to attend TO the duties of
his own department, which are arduous enough
heaven knows; and il would therefore mp
pear very unwlse 10 impose additional duties
upon HIM. The opinion seems to be gaining
ground that Souihern man is TO be permanently
called to this position; this however / do not be-
lieve, Notwithstanding the appointments now-a-
days seem To be made with single reference to
Southern interests. Mr.. Richie, lord paramount
ofthe White House, is no doubt working furious.
ly TO bring his favorte from Virginia, Mr. Steven
son, "near the throne.' but II is vet TO be per
ceived whether he will succeed in his object. The
cabinet as IT IS at present constituted, is equally
divided between the North and South, (he slave
and free states) and il is but due TO the north,
and we should naturally suppose that Mr. Poll;
would pay some little Difference 10 that portion of
tina county in this respect that the chief officer
of the cabinet should be taken from their section
of the country; ii would be an nsul, which the
democracy OF the North never would overlook,
should he decide otherwise.
Mr. Sewer is spoken of as our new Minister TO
Russia, and Gov. Bagby TO France. II is also as
serted with great confidence about these DAYS,
" that when the sky falls we shall proba ly catch
a lew larks. PALo ALTO.
