Gaiphinism VS.. Cordinerlsm.

The New Orleans Bulletin published an article, a
few days ago. in which the following paragraph was
quoted, approvingly, from the New York Express:
':The cry that Willard Fillmore is unpopular in
New York, is only the cry that he holds the purse
strings of the Federal Treasury that it cannot be
used has been the Treasury of this State and it is
cry got up to get into power the restoration of the
era of Galphinism only"
Here is the old charge of Galphinism, raked up
by staunch whig paper, and endorsed by another
paper which resented, in the strongest terms, the
charges made against Secretary Crawford in regard
to his share (the principal share) in the Galphin
affair. But few months ago, this whole matter
this charge, so seriously duplicating Gen. Taylor
Observation-Disclosures regarded as piece of s loco
foco malice and SANDER. Now, we find whig edi-
tors turning States evidence, and peachng their
own party, in order to aid their own private quar-
res. The alluson of the Express, endorsed by the
Bulletin intended to operate against Gen. Scott,
through ex-Secretary Clayton, who was one of the
lphin Cabinet, We think the policy and propri-
ETY. of such illusions very questionable IL is
much like the disgraceful habit of telling stories
out of school. We fear that some developments
will shortly be made which will render the mpoli-
cy of these illusions still certain. 1t will be
remembered that charges of official corruption did
not end with the case of Galphin and the retirement
of Secretary Crawford. Other parties not belong
ing to the " Galphin Cabinet have been implicated
in such charges The Gardiner case, and other ca
growing out of the administration of the office Of
OoinuleeiOnef OF NleAlcan CldiIS, In which some Oh
Commissioner Evans relatives and friends have been
suspected may proved to have had large interest
have not escaped public attention, if they have
are likely to be brought out anew, if certain devel
opments, which have gone to Washington, are
not smothered in that great hot-bed of corruption
and intrigue -~-
Our readers will remember that an agent was sen
to Mexico to procure testimony in regard to the va
lidity of these claims That agent, Mr.. Slocum, re
turned some weeks ago, and passed through this CT
ty. We have good reason to believe (though W,
had interview with the gentleman,) that he will
if permitted, make extraordinary disclosure
when he gets to Washington, which will place mem
bers of the present Cabinet in position that will
make illusions to Galphinism, by the Express an,
Bulletin very imprudent indeed. The Caroline
claim, in which Secretary Corwin was interested t.
the extent of 100000, will be shown to be stupen
dous fraud and the other claim, of which we bav
forgotten the title in which other exalted dignita
ries are implicated, will be proved to be equall
! baseless &...
Mr.. Slocum performed his mission with muc
more promptitude than expected by the Gov
eminent, and it was thought he might spend fe,
weeks very pleasantly in this city and the Secrea
ry of State it rumored very kindly gave him leav
to remain here during that time; but Mr.. S, pre-
ferred going on to Washington, where he has, p
doubt, arrived. Whether, however, his disclosure
will be made public before the action of tho Balt
more Wing Convention, is very doubtful.
