EDITOR OF THE TIMEs.-The result Of
our State election is thought to have dimin-
ished the prospect of lasting union be-
tween the Barnburners and Hunkers, and
especially with reference to their supposed
design to concentrate their combined strength
in forcing the name of Gov. Marcy upon the
next Locofoco Convention, as candidate
for the Presidency. Marcy is identified
with the Anti-Canal policy, which has
proved to be so unpopular, and the memory
of that fact will hang round his neck like a
milestone. The Barnburners begin to be
sensible of this; and it is now minated, in
private circles, that they will turn their
thoughts towards General William o. But
ler, of Kentucky, whose personal popularity
was unable to save Lewis Cass from an ig
nominious and overwhelming defeat. What
they can expect from Butler, am at loss
to know, unless some secret understanding
has been had, in relation to the compensation
he is to make for their support of his candi-
dature, in the event of success. 1t is well
known that Butler is acceptable to the Null
lifers and Secessionists of the South; and
ii may, at first, seem strange or incredible,
that he should also be likely to relieve the
support of the New York Barnburners;
but the truth is, these gentlemen are en-
dowed with an appetite for office, which
entirely ovcrcomes any considerations Of
consistency or principle. They are intel
ligent advocates for that which pays best.
learn from friend in the Treasury de-
partment that Secretary Corwin will not
renew his recommendation of an alteration
in the Tariff of 1916, at the approaching
session of Congress, in the same form as
last year; but he will furnish certain facts,
by which the necessity of some Legislative
action in reference to the subject will be
made apparent. The recent extensive frauds
on the Revenue, discovered in this city, are
alone sufficient to show the ineXpediency
and ill effect of an ad valorem system of du-
ties. Specific duties can alone prevent the
innumerable perjuries, and false invoices,
the frauds, tricks, and chicaneries, which
are daily occurrences under the present law
