one whig he draws off, If he goes into opposition,
two democrats will take his place.
Mr.. Clayton assures me, most emphatlcally, that
neither himself or any member OF the cabinet Is an
asPirant to the Presidency. He says that all the
cabinet are uDlted-are personal friends-and
never yet have had the slightest difference of opln

also affirm, and state that the assertion that there
was any division as to the policy to be pursued, is
an entire mistake.

tion had no organs here, nor did they intend to
have; He gave Mr.. Bulhu distinctly to under
stand, that whilst they would have no objection 10
his support they must repudate anything like or
ganship on his part. He said they depended upon
the support of the independent press of the country,
foremost among which was the Herald: If they
did wrong, they would hear the real voice of the
people only in such papers. lie assured me, also,
that he had not explained the position of the adj
mlnlsratlon 10 any paper but yours, nor did he
intend to do So at present, at all events. He APP

Sken Smiths appointment was rejected because
he was the candidate of the natiue party, which was
only seventh part Of the whole wing party In the
State. That party has been conclliated by the
marshal and attorney. Brady nor Young had no
chance, from the first, OF the coectorship OF New
York.
