Correspondence Of the New York EXPIRES,

Thomas Cloves, you see, draw the Post Office
prize In Troy to-dny--and Mr.. Speaker Hndleys
name came ont blank. There was great deal of Ia
Dor and of time spent upon this ticket--but Mr..
Speaker Hadey was NOT here,-and clever Tom had
first rate representative in Gideon Reynolds M.
G. Speaker Hadley had never ought TO have aban-
doned the ground
There is nothing done here In Washington with
out standing by, or sitting by or sleeping by. half
days absence may ruin man. Tom, himself, was
not here Ut WINS thought best for him 10 be fl)-but
ms have said before, he Ind first ratio representa-
tive and great deal of extra help. Troy will laugh
at oil these doingsou Of The wrong side OF her mouth
though, --bnt what has Troy to do with liz
Among the gentlemen now present at Washington
is Mr.. Schoocrnft, of the Albany District
The ticket box is preparing for the Consular ap-
pointmenis, and for Ministers Plenipotentiary &c,
&c. Some fellows that are starting for the South
PoleNwlll come out at the North Pole, many

ate regions, will drop out under the burning tropics
- A hostile party is permitted by the
laws Of war to do all the harm he can, con-
sistent with the laws of nations, to his enc
my but there is no code which permits a
friend to exercise acts Of hostility against a
friend, and to ask for continuance of the
friendly relation. A friend is entitled to the
privilege Of rebuking, correcting or expostu-
lating with friend for what he may consi-
der fault, an error or inconsiderate action /;
but there is no justification for him to adj
minister the rebuke, correction, or expostu-
lation, before the whole world. The teach
ings Of the divine lawgiver are express on
this point, and positively direct, that it is the
duty Of brother to bear with the weakness
of brother, and to reason with him in pri-
waite for the error Of his ways. Friendship
or brotherhood can never be preserved in
any other way. These reflections will en-
able the reader to place the writer of the
above letter and the paper which publishes
it, in his and its true category. Neither the
writer nor editor can claim, after such an
exhibition Of spleen, TO say the least of it -
it is not the only occasion of such display,
the relation Of friendship to the Admins
traton. While there is not particle Of
truth in the insnuations thrown out against
Gen. TAYLOR, in this letter, il is an attack
upon his administration Of the government,
Of the most malignant nature. 1t is far
worse, than if it came from an open and an
avowed enemy. 1t comes from one who
processes friendship, and carries with it a
semblance Of truth. But we viii never per-
nit the opponents Of the good old Hero, who
is now administering the government for the
benefit Of the whole people and not of miser-
able and selfish cliques, to make war with
IMMUNITY upon him and his acts from .
masked battery and in the disguise Of pre-.
tended friendship. We will tear the mask
from their faces and force them to declare
under which flag they will sail. Hencefor-
ward, we shall regard and treat the New
York Express as an enemy Of the admins
tration, unless It shall reconsider its ways
and disclaim the evident hostile intent Of thu
above attack upon the President
