we clip the above paragraph from the New York Eve

ment we find that Julian Carter had been appointed in
the place OF Mr.. Scott the 18th of September-some
weeks before the meeting of the Syracuse convention
and probably before the selection of Mr. Carter as dele

convention Even the Atlas does not object 10 the re

appointment of Mr. Carter. He was recommended BY
the gentleman who last represented the district in Con

section of the State His prediction for one or the other
branches of the party in New York was not known in

Post will find it somewhat difficult to make any one be-

eral for the last ten fifteen years. that he has taken
any part against Martin Van Buren, Sias Wright or their
friends.
We have meddled little as possible with the poli
tics of New York We have been no inattentve
nor indifferent observer OF the feuds and divisions
which have impaired the strength of the democratic par
y We have the examinations and determinations
of the two sections which pass under the vulgar names
of Hunkes" and Banburners," with surprise as
well as regret We have noticed the scenes which have
been exhibited in the Syracuse conventions and since
with much concern; yet we have not interfered with
their contests though cannot but apprehend some dis
astrous results to the party. correspondent whose
letter reached us this day from the city of New York

now exists, becomes softened" He doubts the posi-
blhty OF efecting any harmony amid such wild ey

the restoration OF harmony unon and concession to the
party We still hope that the day may yet come before the
next presidential electonor any other great national cr
SIS which may supervene-when they will act upon the
celebrated cardinal MAXIM Everything for the cause
nothing for men," Perhaps the very defeat of which
there is so much danger the State election unless
more concilatory spirit should prevail may contribute
to right the ship.
Among the indications which we have witnessed in
New York, is the disposition shown to attack the admin
isaton on account of supposed interference with the
movements in that State. The Philadelphia ''North
American" one of the most rabid and beraI whir
presses in the land has seized upon some expressions of
the editor and endorsed correspondent of the "New
York Evening POST to fling its gbes at the admin
isration, and to denounce the corrupt action of
the general government in relation to State politics.
This unison in attack between democratic press in
New York and desperate wing press in Phadelpbia
is one of those phenomena which are calculated to pro-
duce some surprise well as anxiety We have seen
in the article which heads our remarks one of the snec
locations which have been alleged We have examined
and conradcted that CHARGE and upon the highest a
thory on that subject in Washington, we expressly DENY
all participation the part of the Postmaster General in
such movement or in such feeling. Another case
has been mentioned 1t is of the postmaster of the city Of
New York being member of the Syracuse convention,
and then being elected its president We have the same
authority for saying that this postmaster has taken his own
course without any instruction. any sanction any counte
nance from the administration any of its members We
go further and state that such movements are not only
without the desire but against the wishes of the head of
the department We might go still further and give de-
cided disclaimer to the charge which contained in the
following sentence of the correspondent of the New York
Evening Post
at is painful to be compelled give expression to a
conviction whichhas taken possession of the public mind
throughout the State that the immense patronage the
general government rendered perfectly overshadowing by
the continued prosecution of foreign war; has been debe
raey appropriated TO accomplish the defeat the cherish
ed objects Of the democratic party in this section ohc Union
We hazard nothing in averng that if this declaration
be intended to apply to the administration at Washington
il is without the shadow of foundation
