Wheeling daily intelligencer. [volume] (Wheeling, Va. [W. Va.]) 1852-1859, 1853-11-17

NJ The Wheeling Argus of Tuesday evening
contains lengthy notice of Mr.. Secretary Dayi;
and his disunIol ,antecedenis, which the Argus
thinks were not such. The late letter of Sir. Da-
Wis to some one in Georgia, respecting Senator
Toombs' charges against him, Is appended. Alto
Eether the Argus would exonerate Secretary Davis
from the disunlon charges which are laid at his
DOR. We have no comments 10 make on Secreta-
ny Davis, at present; but shall have occasion at
future day to examine his position, past and pres
ent; aud particularly his late Letters and Railroad
speech. We hope our neighbors will give us a
sketch of the whole cabinet-and particularly
Secretary Guthrie. BY the way. what does our
neghbot think Of the New York election, and par
ticuIarIy OF the triumph of the Bronson wing over
Secretary Guthrie and the Cabinetl Weare pleased
with the result between the Democratic sections,
because we believe that the Bronson is the Union
party ofthe New York Democracy, that it is such,
not forthe sake of the spOis, but from principle;
and that the Van Buren, faction united IN the sup
mort of Pierce either because he was their man, or
because OF the spoils-and that while SO doing
they "spat upon the Baltimore patform;'' remain
ingin sentiment and principle as they were in -.

advocates OF the Wilmot Proviso. As such, they
seem to have been understood blythe National De-
mocracy, as such, they have fallen, and with them
should fall all who are found in their company,
even though 1t be made up Of Guthrie, the Cabi-
net, and the President himself. We hope that the
New York election may prove lasting lesson TO
"Executive encrua chment'' and that all patriots
will Rockwell to this aud similar acts, and guard
wen against future Efforts of like import, come
whence they may. The separate existence of the
State and Federal governments is all-essentialEto
the perpetuation of our liberties. The one must
guard, sgalnst the encIoachments of the other and
iflhs dictation, power, and patronage of the Fed
ernl Government is to be used to overawe and con-
troll Stateleections, was attempted by Secretary
Guthrie, we may well tremble for the rights Of the
State, far more endangered by insdions and covert
attempts of this kind, "fawning while they feed"
than by the most bold and open encrpachnent Of
the Federal Legislative power. i so aEsa "a
THE SEcRETLRY OF THE TREAsURY's REPoRr.-
In the last Washington letter of the New York
Herald, we find the following paragraph in Iela-
ton to The forthcoming annual Report from the
Treas ny Department. We are not surprised to
learn that Mr.. Guthrie works hard and makes all
around him work. He always did:
Secretary Guthrie has pretty much settled upon
the details of notifications Of the tariff, which he
will recommend to Congress, and we learn he will
propose TO add quite number Of articles to the
free list but upkaf articles, hos not transpired.
His Report will be ready to be sent in with the
Presidents Message at the commencement of the
session. The Secretary, with his assistant and
