tain toward official interference in elections
His own friends repre- sent him as actively in
termeddling in the New York election, and, by
letters addressed to his subordinate officers,
using the influence of his high position and
great patronage to carry State ticket The
whig party of New York has passed under the
dominion Of VIM. Ii. Seward. The last Syra
cuse convention witnessed the total and unani-
nous surrender of the Presidents friends.
'The State ticket offered by the wings of New
Y York is seward ticket and the prominent issue
presented IN the New York election was gotten
up for the benefit of VIM. II. Seward, and was
intended to consolidate his power over the whg
party of New York. The higher-law cause
needed recruits, and portion of the wings OF
New York, calling themselves the friends Of
the President, manifested disposition to abide
by and sustain the Compromise. Under these
circumstances, it was determined TO set the con-
stitution of New york at defiance--that const-
tutIon being worthless paper in the presence of
higher law-and to raise, by loan, 4 coTup-
ton fund of nine millions of dollars, under pre-
tcnce Of enarging the Erle canal. This cum
nngly de vised scheme brought all the wings
friendly to the enlargement to the support of
Seward & company, and even the restive
friends of the President, and even the President
himself, bowed to the superior ger:ous OF the
Auburn manager; and the President, fsrgetful
of his high position and onerous duties, has de
scended into the arena to WELD his official infu-
ence and patronage in support Of the schemes
Of VIM Ii. Seward and Thurow Weed
Whether the new alliance between Mr.. Fill
more and the hgher-law lnen is an alliance of
love, and likely to continue, we cannot say
We rather incline to the belief that its fate de-
pends upon future events. The friendr of
Gov. Johnston charge Mr.. Fillmore with aiding
in his defeat. Assuming this to be true, then
Mr., Fillmore may still cherish his jealousy Of
Mr.. Seward, although he aids the whig ticket in
New FORK. He may be willing to join with
the men of the higher law, in order to continue
the canal fund in the hands Of the wings for
future operations, trusting to the accidents of
that future to determine whether it shall be used
for his benefit or that of Mr.. Seward. At all
events, his Union sentiments are not strong
enough to enable him to sit quietly while the
custody Of the canal fund is at issue. He for
yets all about the Compromise, secession, res
cues, and riots, and is willing to affiliate with
he worst foe Of the Union, rather than see the
democracy triumph In New York. As yet, the
wings have the control of the canal fund and

Mr. WEBSTER AND CUBA.-The New York
Tribune of the 10th has dispatch from Wash
ngton, that Mr.. Webster has rejected the pro-
position Of the Spanish Government for the
settlement of the late difficulties about Cuba,
SC. The proposition was for the United States
Government to invite the Spanish Consul at N.
o, in a national vessel, ond to salute the
Spanish flag over him, and further, to paw the
value of the property of the Consuls and Span
sh citizens destroyed by the rioters. In case
this proposition should be rejected, the Minister
was instructed to demand his passports and re-
turn. Of course Mr.. Calderon de la Barrett is in
diplomatic quandary.
