The Fight ktteeoa Fillmore and Serurd RertUed-1he
War Contiauai- Remorals and appointments, &c.
The unrestrained rejoicings of the woolly wings
over the greys, in the formal election Of Mr.. Fish to
the United States Senate, has melted spirit Of
revenge which the administration appears willing
TO give aid 1t was thought that because the oracle
of the administration at Washington had given as
sent to the election Of Mr.. Fish, and also because
the three silver greys in the Senate of this State
supported and voted for the bill taking power from
Canal Commissioners, and placing it in subordinate
hands, that flag of truce had been sent in and that
cessation of hostilies had been ordered. But the
intelligence received this morning. of the removal of
the Postmaster at Troy, and ofthe Marshal for the
Northern District Of this State, has dsabused that
impression. Thomas Cloves Postmaster at Troy,

lard, a silver grey, Gf anythingD appointed to all
the place. So, also, Palmer Y. Kellogg, United
States Marshal, woolly, removed, and John T. Flsh
grey, appointed When Gen. Taylor consented to
the appointment Of Cloves, his best friends mani
tested much surprise, for there were reasons as
" thick as blackberries," why he should noe be en-
trusted with the custody ofsuch important Office.
The finger Of Seward was distinctly visible, and
those who opposed Cloves, saw that "Old Zach
had been encirced by the serpent. Mr.. Fillmore
has also been mistaken in the selection OF successor
for the Troy Post Office. Willard never possessed
the confidence of the wing party before it was bro
ken up. He was standing candidate, booing,
booing," to Governors Young and Fish, but neither
Of those gentlemen would trust him with their
fdence. Although Cloves was distasteful to the
whig party, Mr.. Fillmore has not succeeded in fur
nshing a successor any more acceptable.

did the whig party much service, and took holder
measures to advance its interests than any official
has ever been known to do. In taking the census,
the last year. he allowed Sherman, the clerk of the
present House of Assembly to issue directions to the
deputy marshals, to take census of the wings,
in their respective districts in order TO know how
many there were, and where TO md them on cleo
ton mornings. For this act of party fidelity he
should be gratefully thanked, instead Of being de-
pryed of his three thousand year. His successor,
Mr. Bush, is Of the earliest opponents of Seward
in the State. His opposition commenced before
Seward made Senator, and long ere Mr.. Fill
more was accidentally nominated for the Presidency.
Mr.. B. showed his independence as long ago as
1S47, when he first took his seat in the New York
Senate, from the Buffalo district. From that PEE
Rod, when he was joined by Mr. Calhoun, then
clerk of the Senate, he has persevered in
daunted manner. lie first suggested the establish
ment of the State Register and contributed literally
towards starting that paper. Mr.. Bush, therefore,
is eleventh hour silver grey, but older in the
faith than Mr.. Granger, MIR. Duer, or even Mr.
Fillmore himself: and it is doing him no more than
justice that the President should place him under
liberal pay-the best situation which could be
given him in the Northern district of New York.
Now, how long will the wings be able to retain
power III this State, or in the nation, if the great
Of the intelligent gentlemen in that party fur
thep allow the leading demagogues much longer to
distract them! Seward having the. Legislature in
the hollow of his hand. can compel laws to be
acted providing places in the State for postmasters
and Others, dis placed by Mr.. Fillmore. His syco-
N he Lee ISL al are m obSeu
yassals called TO carry out the behests OF any
tyrant. The miraculous power which he exercises
has completely subdued the independence which
Senators Babcock and Owen, and nearly the whole
delegation in the House from the city of New York,
brought with them TO the capitol of the State on
the lst of January. On the other hand, Mr.. Fill
more provides for his section Of the party who have
been ostraesed by Weed and Seward, by placing
item In post Offices, custom houses, marshalshps,
mail agencies, &c, &c
The honest portions of the community care not a
fig which political party are upPermos in the State
and national councils. They have long since learnt
that, however honest and pure men may be when
first arriving AT Washington or Albany, they 10
tread the ycstbue Of the capitol, than a
sufficient number become contaminated with the i'm
putty of the atmosphere within, yield to appliances
made nv trading dcnagog and shake OFT what
ever of political honesty they ever possessed. The
democratic party had become corrupt that thou
sands of voters changed front, hoping that more
honest class of men would be introduced TO take
charge of the public interests. But scarcely had
the lew occupants commenced warming their seats,
before the iniquities were practised, and the
same system of public plumber proceeded with, which
drove their adversaries from power The people,
therefore have no more confidence in the professions
of one party than they have in the other
The inquiry il madc-how long the wing party
will be able to retain power The answer Is already
in every mouths and il i, that the power i already
spent The personal hostility between fillmore and
Seward has overwhelmed the party. While they
are throwing frcbrands in their own camp, aud
gnitng every material, not solitary wing presents
himself in the breach to save his party from de-
stmction They to be willing to participate
in early ntermcnt Of il. remains, trusting to fu
turiiy and the rascay Of their opponents for ano-
Their picking of the public crib in the course Of
quarter of a century.

aai Of this evening, says
