authentic declaration Of the majority 81 the Demo-
Gratis Of the Legislature of their real wishes in this
behalf
The majority of the Legislature Iapeak Of both
houses) deejare themselves-as the Democratic
electoral body has-as the State administration
has-aRainA the whole intrigue. and it whole
scope and spirit.
This last mission to Concord, bearing the spuri-
Gus representation of Democratic opinion here, was
suggested and instigated by an agent of the steam
ships. This pensioned and profigate interest has
been active in its attempts at dictation, and finds
in the cabinet movements fit subject for corrupt
intrigues.
It is little matter to the men who are interested
in it whether they have President Fllmore's cabi.
net to adjust, or General Pierce's; whether it is
Corwin or Dickinson to whose relief they COME
As in the late Congressional election, they ran Rob-
erts and Matteson on the Wing side, and some ia
vored Democrats on the other they were prepared
to act with equal impartalty to the cabinet of
the successful Presidential candidate. Gen. Scott,
If successful, would have had magnificent steam
heet AS it is, they are willing to accept any
amount of appropriations from President Pierce,
and IN exchange to regulate his cabinet, and if
need be take on themselves the initiative of his
foreign policy When General Cass exclaimed in
the Senate, :" Thank God, the honor of this coun.
try does not rest with George Law" he did not
know that George Law was, by his agents and at
torneys and paid emssaries, attempting to dictate
and shape the future administration OF the Union.
Under all circumstances, thi, influence would
be active. Just now, when Hunter, of Virginia, il
named for the head of the new administration, and
Dix is the choice of his State, with the concur.
renee of the most distinguished Democrats of other
States, they are particularly active and unscrupu-
lous. From Hunter, whose speech in the Senate
upon the class of Government Iargesses you pub
lished. they know what they are TO expect; from
Dix they have as little to hope. / do not believe
that the manifestation of public sentiment and
preferences here would have been so gross but for
the Intervention ofthis corrupt influence.

Foreign Policy.

The DEMOCRATIC newspapers, under the
lead OF the Union, are making great cutlery
over the foreign policy of the Administration.
They are much exercised, apparently, because
MI. FILLMORE has not been ranging all over
creation to fish up troubles of some name or
nature to amuse the people with.
We hope our Democratic friends will make
something by their excursions into foreign
territory, but we think that just now they have
about as much as they can we'll look after at
home.
The letter which we copy below, from the
New York Evening Post, exhibits some do
mestlc feuds that are likely to be more interest
Ing than any immediate foreign difficulties:

But what have we in the House Of Representa-
or what has committee of this House to do with
the conduct of a Senator, or what has the Senate
TO do with member of this body If the propri-
ey OF she conduct OF member of either body
were to be by the other from day to da
there would not be business enough for both
branches; but the warfare would be fruitiess
and Improbable one, in which no laurels would
be won.
1t has been customary to take some liberties
with the Executive in these discussions and tina
mas been often done without any great regard to
delcacy but presume the friends of the Secre
tary OF the Treasury would interpose no objection
to full examination into his conduct while he has
occupied his present elevated official position So
far, then, MIR. Corwin is concerned as Secreta
OF the treasury if there is any faith to be put in
inc testimony OF highly respectable witnesses,
whose testimony is wholly uncontradicted be
went into that Department wholly Invested OF
every and all interest in what are called the Mex
lean Claims He was SO exceedingly sensitive in
this matter, and 80 scrupulousy careful that as
one OF the witnesses tes6es, he remarked to him.
that unless the money paid into his hands be.
tore that Board reconvened, he would throw bis
Mexican Claims into the Potomac or resign his
seat In the Cabinet. He would not be in such a
condition that an enemy could impute any wrong
to him.
Now, Mr.. Speaker, l have said all that, as a
member OF the committee, feel it my duty to saw
at this time. 1t matters not to me to what partv
the Secretary of the Treasury belongs; would in.
terpose nothing to shield him if he was wrong.
while would protect him, as would man of an v
other political party, if he was right think the
testimony which has been taken by this com
mittee. and reported by them to this House, shows
in the clearest and most satisfactory manner that
whatever he did while member of the enate was
done IN pursuance OF very generally prevailing
custom, which has not heretofore been found fault
with by the members of any party; that SO far as
his action since he has been Secretary of the Trea
sury Is concerned, he has done nothing that ia
blameworthy; that as to these claims which were
presented to this Mexican Commission, be had di
vested himself Of every kind of interest before he
accepted seat in the Cabinet, and that since that
time ne mas had no cannexion with them nor con-
sultation about them. It is time that the calum
NOUS ciamor against him should cease.
