the selection of his cabinet. 1t would be unreal
sonable to do so; for the man. or set of men, that
would please one coterie, would displease the |
other, and uice versa Thus we see the organ of
the Seward clique, in this city, expressing its dsap
probation of Mr.. Hall, the new Postmaster Gene
raj, rot because he is not capable to fill the Office
TO which he has been called; not because the new
President has no, confidence in him; not because
the people have not full faith in his honesty inte

he is from Buffalo, in the State of New York. The
reason of this is obvious, and although the Tn

reason is because Mr.. Hall does not belong to the
Seward clique of the wing party, and his selection
by Mr.. Fillmore, as Postmaster General, will tend
to weaken the influence of the Seward or abolition
wings in this State, and throughout the country.

which has been scattered and dispersed within a
few days.
The Seward clique being overlooked in the Sc

to endeavor to augment and perpetuate their in
more, unless he should make it subservient to
their plans, and have abolitionsm one of its most
prominent features. This, also, might have been
expected, but lest there might be any doubt about
it, Thurlow Weed, the organ, in the interior of the

clique of the wings, comes out openly, in the face
of day, and avows it, boldly excaiming, T" if this

containing similar sentiments, and then avowed
his real purposes, and those of the Seward clique
in general which are, that unless Mr.. Fillmore
