Galphinism and Gardinerisln.

The subjoned article from the New Orleans Delta
neutral iournalinmaes in its closing paragraphs that
new developments may soon come out 10 increase the
difficulty of nomination by the Wing Convention, in
the tina, il the southern wings shall refuse to take
General Scott from the hands OF the wing aboitioniss
Heretofore the wing journals have told us that the
Galphin and abolition elements of the wing party were
acting harmoniousy together first to create and then,
creators, to rule the Scott administration But il the
Delta is not mistaken Mr.. Socum has just come all the
way from Mexico with story to tell about Gardinerism,
which will show that the pooers that be have determined
to fight the Gaphns with their weapons, at least
to rival them in their own trade.
We have heard something limited, though not fully
spoken cut yet, of the forthcoming developments
which Mr. Slocum's tour of exploration among the Mex
lean Bureaus will enable him 10 lay before the country
and was in view OF such rumors that, several days
since threw out the suggestion that the appeared
TO invite form Of congressional investigation in the
premises. The remarks Of the Delta Indicate that it
would be well that such inquiry should be made before
the National Wing Convention assemblies

etn published article, few days ago, in which the
following paragraph quoted approvingy from the New
York Express
-" The cry that Willard Fillmore is unpopular in New
York only the cry he holds the purserings Of the
federal feasnry that II cannot be used has been the
treasury Of this State, and II is got get into
power the restoration Of the era Of Gaphinism only
Here is the Old charge Of Ga'phinism raked up by
saunch wing paper, and endorsed by another paper,
which resented IN the strongest terms the charges made
against Secretary Crawford ia regard his share he prn

who one Of the Gaphin cabinet We think the pol.
and propriey Of such illusions very question BILE
IL much like the dsgracefu habit Of telling
OF school. We fear that come developments viii shortly
be made which will render the mpocy OF these illusions
still more certain. IL will be remembered that charges OF
official corruption did end with the OF Gaphin
and The retirement Of Secretary Crawford Other parties
belonging TO the Gaphin cabinet, have been mplca

growing OF the administration of the Office of

public attention. II they have likely to be brought

Washington not smohered in that great hot bed Of
ruption and intrigue
" Oar readers viii remember that agent to
Mexico procure testimony In regard the validity of
these claims. That agent, Mr.. Slocum, returned some
weeks ago. and passed through this city. We have good
believe Chough had interview with the
gentleman, that be win, IL permitted make
ordinary disclosure when he gets Washington which
will place members OF the present cabinet position that
will make illusions TO Gaphinsm, by the Express and
Bulletin very inpruden Indeed The Gardiner AIM in
which Secretary Corwin interested to the OF
100000, will bs shown be stupendous fraud and
the other claim Of which have forgotten the title,
which other exalted dgnitsres implicated, will be
proved 10 be equally baseless
Mr. Siocum performed his mission with much more
Prompttude than expected by the government and il
thought he might spend few weeks very pleasantly
IN this city, and the Secretary OF State, il rumoed
very kindly gave him leave 10 remain here during
that time bot Mr.. S. preferred going to Wash
ngon where he has, doubt, arrived. Whether, how
ever, bis disclosures will be made public before action
Of the Baltimore Wing Convention is very doubtful"
