The foregoing specimens Of appointments in
the principal towns Of the State Of New York,
not only under the departments of Guthrie, and
Jefferson Davis, and Marcy, but Campbell him
SELF will show what vast difference there is
between profession and practice in the distribu-
tion Of the spells. The Secretary Of the Treasury
and the Secretary of the Navy it is true. profess
the opposite doctrine of the Postmaster Gene
raj. and the Secretary Of State has publicly
profss.ed nothing unless 50 far as his acts speak
for him. But Judge Campbell would have Old
Bullion and the people Of St Loui, believe that
the .lghte.t tinge Of free soilism is disquali-
cation for Office, under an administration whose
chief was elected by the democratic party upon
antifree soil principles while here in the city of
New York, and most Of the important towns Of
the State. the strongest kind of faint the anti
slavery sentiment seems to be an essential
requisite for good postmaster and what 10
sound doctrine on the Mississippi, is dat bias
pheny ON the banks Of the Hudson. In the
South, free sellers are discountcnaneed by the
Postmaster General and the rest Of the Cabinet;

Marcy and Van Buren,, thewhole patronage OF the
Bay State was divided between Caleb Cushing
and Gordon Greene of the Boston Post--a mean
and dirty paper, OF small circulation-who have
bestowed it almost exclusively upon abolition
lists, freesoilers and coalitionists. For Jeter-
son Daviss betrayal of the interests Of the
South, in endorsing and honorng its well
known enemies in the North, he has been re-
warded with ample patronage for the secession
lists, while the Union men Of the Southern
States, who proved true to the constitution in
the day Of trial, nave been ANONYMOUSLY passed
over as unworthy Of notice. Thus have the
different members OF the administration played
into each others hands and divided the spells
between them FOR the benefit Of their respective
friends and followers. snd their own aggrandise-
ment, while the President s placed 10 false
position between them, and compelled to share
the odium that ought to fall upon the Cabinet
alone. His principles and popularity were ne
yer consulted in the matter at all, as was evil
dent from the very beginning.
Never was any man so highly recommended
for any Office AZ Augustus Schell for the Col
