The War commenced in New York.

The Albany Evening Journal, the Sew
ard organ in New York, has issued its
proclamation to the Seward branch of the
whig party. The war may be said to have
commenced between Mr.. Seward and Mr..
Fillmore. May they have good time.
The following is from the Journal:
With President Fillmore we had been
long and intimately associated. For twenty
years, relations Of fconfdence and friendship,
political and personal, existed between us.
Recent circumstances occaisoned alienation
and estrangement. But be is now the Chief
Magistrate of the Republic and the Rep
resentative Of the Wing party. AS such
we owe him double duty, provided al
ways, that he proves faithful to this adoub-
lie trust" "If, in succeeding to Gen. Tay-
lor's high Office, Mr.. Fillmore becomes heir
also to his principles, adopts his measures,
and vindicates his policy, he shall have the
Jealous and hearty support of this Journal:
for in crisis SO momentous as this, we
have no memory for personal injuries. Ii
The President be but 10y al to hinself-if,
like General Tay ylor he will resist the extern
sion of slavery and uphold the BANNER OF
FREEDOM; and if be will set his face like
flint against the reasonable exhorters for
Disunion, he may look to us,and those..with
whom we act, for faithful and efficient sup
port. And, it may be proper to say to 9TH
ers, whasMr. Fillmore himself knows, that
our support will cost him nothing.
But while, for the sake of Freedom. and
in obedience to our duty as a Wing, we
are ready to make every personal sacrifice,
we shall stop short if there be, in the Presi-
dent any wavers of Principle or any COM
promise of Freedom. We do not antici-
pate either, for the principles we cherish
and the sympathies that govern us,are iden-
tical with those which Mr.. Fillmore has ev.
er professed and acted upon. He has only,
therefore, as President, to be faithful to
himself. to ensure the support of those by
whom he has ever been sustained,
This is plain, and the friends of Mr.. Fill
more will understand that they must keep
their eye on the gun. The Journal has been
dictator to New York whiggery for many
years, but its power has been materially
weakened.
In reply til the above, the State Regis
ter, the Fillmore organ at Albany, is bitter
in the extreme. 1t dares the Seward men
to show their opposition, land threatens them
with expulsion from Office and the party
Detroit Eres Press.
The Register has touched the Seward
men in a tender. spot and where they will
be made to feel, 1t has appealed to their
regard for the ssrsn schig prineiplss-th the
five loaves and two fshes-and though fol
brief season they may show signs of oppo
sition and fight, they will come down ano
kiss the hand that is raised in terror cvel
them. Such is their love of official par
that they will not peril the chance of obtain
ing it by any divisions upon the question o
Freedom or anything else.
% Let the people mark one thing ane
fasten it indelibly upon their memory: tha
during all the time that the Galphinites hav,
been plundering the Treasury, the. whis
press throughout the country have sough
either to justify, palliate, or cover up thei
gross and glaring corruptions, until thei
dishonest conduct has undergone thorough
