Mr.. SLIDELL reputation among his friends for the
possession of the very qualities for effectiveness in
which Mr. SoULE il deficient. Hence. the general
joy over the prospect that Mr.. SLIDELL will fill
Mr.. SoULE's seat. 1t is understood that Mr..
SouLE has assured the President of his willingness
to aid in bringing about the election of MIR. Sill
DELL, which that functionary regards matter
of first political Importance.
Young America has worn smiles all day,
thanks to Mr.. SoULE's good fortune, while the
immediate confdants of the Administration are
by no means pleased with Young Americas great
glee. 1t is whispered that Mr.. SoULs's appoint

principle of the violent acquisition of CusA, while
the Administration are believed to be equally as
anxious to clear his skirts Of bustering associa-
tons. To that end, ten to one, very stringent
instructions are already being prepared, author

way of dangling with the ladies of the Spanish
court, and all other such diplomatic aids to the
acquisition, but not even to look like defending

not having 20 high opinion of the balance of his
character, really fear that in year after going
abroad, he will forget the broad and deep line of
division between the Republics pism of the United

Messrs. OCoNoR and CocHRASE were bagged on
the day before yesterday, and yesterday they were
duly instructed in the White House on various
little unwrtten matters apper tanning to the duties
to be discharged under the appointments they
hold. From their countenances, it was subse-

involving intimations that they are expected alto
gether to ignore the distinction of Barnburner and
Hunker hereafter-a work which neither can by
any possible means accomplish without an entire
change of their very nature. Both formally ac-
cepted their Offices.
The PRksIDENr, though up and about yesterday,
complained seriously of indisposition, his lungs
giving him much trouble.
