Uhs is after Ofscs!

Tths Is after Office!
The Ns~ YorS chquss having mostly adjourned,
and the diferent members composing them nearly
ell d,ss<rsed and gone home. leaving lew persons
enly b~nind TO represent them, some account OF
these seconstituted bodice, and their operations,
nay smsse your readers.
Thee have been here, from the city Of New
rorh three regularly organized cllques, besides
one irregular and dislolnted concern, the reliq.es
of the times Of John Tyler. First, there was the
powerful clique of Messrs. Grinnell and others,
embracing some OF the strongest men IN the city
Of New York, and extending its ram'icatloas
throughout the STATE, and some other paris OF tue
Up,on This CLIQUE was called here " Moses and
the Prophets" aud although foed IN It's plans Dy
the construction OF the cabinet OF olu Hack, 80 oH-
f,r,pt rom what was confidently anticipated, rs
sull IN existence as powerful body, and by form
ing new combinations, u Is PROBABLY destined 10
saec, ed IN some Psns Second nd we nave .ne
OF james 3. Thayer, Esq, who has heretofore
been very lucky 10 his political operations, part-
cularly at Albany and New York. The principal
OF Ex-Governor Young as Collector OF the port of
New York, and thus to secure the custom use
patronage Sf youf city. This Clique does not seem
10 be very strongly backed, or II il Is So Its opera
lions are very secretly carried on. Third, there
Is the "Naiive American Clique" composed of
Gen Lloyd ex-senator Folsom, and a few others.
Fourth and last comes the :" Conservative Clique
the DISCOUNTED remains ot the old Tyler office
holders, such as John l.. Graham, Sllas M. Still
well, Robert G. Welmore and olhers-not, how
ever, seeming TO pull together, but all retaining
that "fellow-ieellng which makes us wondrous
kind
You will observe, therefore, that your goodly
CITY has been represented here by four clIques In
all, besides which, there, are and have been some
individuals disconnected with the cques, ana ope
rating on their own hook. Considering, how.
he l,ru Al ~
Cove rnment has IN the city OF New York, II cannot
be said that The commercial metropolis OF
the Union has sent TO Washington very large
body Of office seekers TO ofier their services TO
the new administration. On the contrary, be-
lIeve that the candidates Tor the New York city
Offices are fewer in number than those from many
other parts the Union. numerous body OF your
citizens (whies) OF New York were, It Is true,
here to witness the closing in Congress, and
the inauguration OF Gen. Taylor and MIR. Fillmore,
bu1 very small proportion OF whom have remained
here as Office seekers The principal candidates
for the Offices in your city are understood to be as
Fur Consetor-James Bowen, william v. Brady and
For Su,rtyor- Henry +. Tallmadge, Gen John B.
Lloyd and ERbert Benson.
For Nauai Officer Philip Home and John A. Under
For Nary agent Msr,hall O. Roberts, Cen. George
8. D. ushty and Simeon Baldwin
For D..t,.ei .ans,sey-J Prescott Hail. Ogden Hoff.
For MarshaI-I Hiram Fuller, Moses May nard, James
Kip ana Narceliue X. Ee,s.
For Postmaster John L. Graham, Elijah Paine, and
William Tsyl or
Besides these, there are number of others on
the lookout for what they can get, and to see
how the cat umps-such as William b. Townsend,
late OF The Eap,tss, Charles S. Delavan, ID. X.
Minor. late OF The Railroad Journal. Gen. Walter
CuDninG ham, and few others, whom II is diff.
cult TO locate as in pursuit OF any definite office.
Can you not send us a few more candidates for
Postmaster? The canvass for that office seems to
be very dull. Mr.. Paine's chance looks favorable
at present, as his friend Judge Coamer Is Post
master General, and he is backed by powerful
interest Of Velmonters, who are proverblally a
clsnDish set.
For foreign missions, New York puts in for a
full snare:--Co0nel Webb for Spain George Fol-
som tor Holland /; Rev. CALVIN Cotton tor Belgium,
DC. Colonel Webb's prospects are very dubious,
as he is opposed by Mr.. Barrlnger, late member OF
Congre 50 from North Carolina.
1t is believed by well-Intormcd higs that a
general system OF removals OF democrats from
Office will shortly take place after the Senate adj
jouins, and wings appointed in their places. The
appointing power will be in effect placed, it was
foTm ry before Jackson's time, IN The hands ofthe
heads Of d. parments You may consider remo-
walls certain to take place throughout the country.
