By these arrangements in this CITY. the triumph
of Weed and Seward is consummated They have
filled nearly every post-office in the State with
their men, without letting the President know it,

IRENE distrust of Seward and his allies which the
President and most of his cabinet have felt, ever
since Stewards election to the Senate. This has
been their game They knew it would never do
for them TO pav an open hand Instead of that
il has been and continues to be their practice TO
press particnIar candidates for whose success they

cunning men to press other candidates of their own
selection and their preference, though profsssedv
opposed to them, for the double purpose of drawing
off, and thereby weakening the strength of1he real

Taylor to run again, and Taylor has determined to
DO so: Clayton and the lntelligencer have deter
mined ne shall not. Clayton means to run himself;
the lnteihgencer means to bring out Clay, and the
