Workings Of the Cushing Ukase-Remorals from
Small Offices and the Appointments to Great
Ones-Prospects Of the Neu Constitution and
of the Coalition.
Gen. CushiDgs Eye pistle is doing its perfect work

coalition. He was, think, tle first person who re-
ceived executive appointment un Ter the coalition
succeeding Gen. Chandler as Sheriff OF Middesex,
short time after Gov. BcutwelI's Inauguration. He
was strong supporter of the election of MI Sumner
to the United States Senate and until the issuing of
the Gushing ukase he was as much relied upon to go
with the coalition this year Henry Wilson HIMSELF
It is said that there is to be 10 coalition ticket form

the Taunton Democrat, and Postmaster Of Taunton,

very strong coationist from the start, and until
he expected to be started overheard. The New Bed
ford Mercury, on the receipt Of Cushing's letter,
said it had often heard of the Ides of March, aud
now il expected to hear Of the march of Ide. But
Mr.. Ide is not like Caesar, and avoids marches of all
kinds Such instan Of servility indicative of
very low condition of political morals for the per
soils named are not poor. Mr. Hildreth is very
wealthy. Poverty may form some excdse for a want
of inoe pendence; but it should seem that men
who are aced beyond its assaults ought to

Two Postmasters have been removed-Mr. Stiles, OF
Bedford, and the Postmaster at South Andover-fOr
taking part in conventions at which coalition tickets
were formed. The united incomes OF these two
places amount to $l20 per year. Noble business,
is it not, this turning out OF place cosonists who

a month after the appointment of Mr. Hildreth, the

Mr. Hildreth il understood TO have been very busy
