Of on candidates are already selected, add the
residue will soon be. Tois selection DOW en-
crosses TOO entirely the attention Of Wings 10 this
ouarer. There is too much eagerness, not 10 saJ
selfish recklessness, on the part OF many sspf
rants and their friends. Some tslk as though the
prrty were so deeply in debt 70 their iavori.e re
spoctlvey, that If he should not happen to be SET
10 for fat Office, it would be hopelefsly bank
rap., alike 10 power and in gratitude. We do not
20 very strong for the nomination Of any such be-
lievips that there are as good fish In the sea as
ever were caught from it, and that men whohaye
either the ability the disposition to 90 much ior
a great public cause must naturally be TOO modest
70 be eternsiiy ParsdiDg the scars OF the wounds
they have recsived in ito service. And we oeheVe

Tbers ia much dissfection IN our ranks-not
with Wing principles, nor Wbig measures, but
with Whig appointments The Collector OF this
PORTS very extensively denounced, Ia part for hls
own mistakes 10 part for Others and IN part Tor no
mistakes ct all. There 10 doubtless some reason
for this grumblng, and great deal OF grumbiing
without reason. Mr.. Maxwell was not very wei
acausioted with our active Ward politicians, and
did not pretend TO be. He never sought the office,
but It was conferred upon him. and he has tried 70
do his beet. He certainly hiss made many APP
continents that We should have eschewed, and
Ell out men that we. if in his place, would have
appointed. We hear grumblisg about family in :
fueDce and favoritsm, which has probably some
foundation. There ia also complaint OF partlaNty
for original Taylortes over inyeterate Clay men
which we don't consider quite reasonable. Il was
discovered, we think by an ancient philosopher
entitled Dogberry, that when two ride horse,
one must ride behind. Had Mr.. Clay been nomi'
-sted at Philadelphia and chosen, and Collector
appointed by him, we shoald most certainly have
expected Mt Clay men would have had the front
seats 10 the distributos. II places. Not that lay
Ior men should be wholly left out, ana person
ally know that Clay men have not been by MI
Maxwell. On tho whole, We don't consider the
complaints on this ground well founded, but they
are exertlDg some injurious influence, therefore
we speak of them.
Last of all, most suicidal, least excusable, IL a
miserable Jealousy and fsctiousnesr among some
lessor politicians who eudoavor to give themselves
consequence by hanging on to the coattails OF one
or other OF our eminent men, who babble about
Fillmore men,, Seward men, John Young
Weed, &c. &c. as II the Wing party were band
ed together not to support certain great principles
Of public policy, bnt to promote the fortunes OF

Ing to hear a lot OF ber-room declGmors and w ard
