A Fight oyer the spoils.

We find the following in the W Washngton Union It shows that inc Federalists are already commen- cling new struggle for the manifestations of sympathy,' rather an innovation and a romantic name for what have hitherto been known as the "losves and fshes," or more properly" the spos:' 70 "Judgng from the signs of the times Mir Fill more will soon find that he is not reposng on a bed of roses. His cabinet is composed of able men yet ther- are giaring defects in it, which cannot but produce weakness. Then, the slavery question | is full of trouble, while there evidences of a | comiug storm given out by a portion of the whig party. The friends of Mir. Seward, iu New York , have given in their support with such qualification 1 as amount 10 an open declaration of hosties u n- 1 less Mir Fillmore should surrender at discretion, 1 and give himself up 10 the teuder merces of Sc ardsm. and bend ail his energiss to build up and sustain those who scowl upon him with maey oent eyes"
 The Albany Evening Journal, the organ of the Seward influence in New York, holds the follow ing language;
 "The President will discover, in season perhaps, that those who beieaguer the White House are for the most part, the droaes of party-rbs without muscles or sinews. hs will find, also, and in sea- son 10 avert the ev we hope that while those who claim to be his especial friends are coiDng phrases about " conservalism,' urging "compronses," and denouncing isms," the rank and file of the whig pariy--ihe men who make Presidents, and require GnJestaiatiOas ofsympathy in return-may be driven to seek more eOHgenial associations 1 To this the Register, which is the mouth piece Of the Fillmore influence, replies as follows:
 "The threat contained in this passage is signifi- l cant. It is neither new unexp xpected by those who have watched the Journal and the free 1 the Buffalo platform men Their aiinites of late have been too obvious to have escaped observation l Looking along the line of the future, we see the Journal, and other whigs of kindred sympathies '' 1 oppressed beyond endurance by the withdrawal of patronage and the withholding monoply of off ces, swinging out from the party, aud frateraizHg z l with ancient opponents the men who make Presidents" deprived of " manifestations of sym pathy," eagung with former foes aud with those '' more congenisl associations" and a new battle cry, come thu ndeTng down on the Taaks of those l who once their friends. This Ia The future foreshadowed by the passage quoted, 10 be sverted only by manifestations of sympathy" on the part of the adui nstrstiou. Ii is not difficult to uneer- stand what is meant by this '' manifestation of sympathy" To the whig party the term is iami- ! far as household words The Journal and its whigs q. of kindred sympathies' claim monopoly of ex ecutive patronage and favor. They must be the exclusive recipients of office all political benefits, the raits Of party iumphs, must fall to their share or the cry is rais d that ihefe is lack of mani festations of sympathy"
 l "Saoh assaults" says the Uaon |" do not look 10 our eyes like evidences that the whig party will harmonize in support of Mir. Flmores administra tiou. We believe in retributve justice. The fed l eraiists have sown the wind and we firmly believe that they will reap the whirlwind. They have fan ned the flame of sectional excitement. They have left no opportunity unimproved of adding fuel to the fierce flame of abolition and anti slavery agta ton. la times past Mr. Fillmore himself tried his energies in that behalf and bowed before the gant Gic,a,ion of the aboionis,s of the ccanty of Erie. Thrse offences demand punishment, and In time that punishment will come upon the heads of those who, according to MT. Corwin. cheated onc 1 section of the Union in the canvass of ieis." l
