He may act Independently; and 80, we trust,
he will act, and establish his cabinet and do |

New York hard shells and soft shells must take
things as they come. The free sellers frater-
missed with the hunkers for the spoils and
nothing else, and cannot claim the privilege Of
excluding the hunkers from the plumber. That
privilege belongs to the President elect, and he
should exercise it with view to the integrity
of the Union and of the democratic party as a
Union party, and TO- an honest, able, and united
administration, leaving it to the various party
cliques and factions to settle their party dis
putes among themselves
From Pennsylvania, we are panied to say,
our information of the concord of the party is
just as discouraging as from our own rural dis
tricts." The Old feud between the Cass and
Buchanan men is revived, and exasperated to the
cut-throat luminosity of the Montagues and Ca
pulets. But the blacklist intelligence. Of all our
catalogue of letters, is from Ohio. Our Colura-
bus correspondent informs us. that at the late
Democratic. State Convention. the constitutional
democrats were borne 'aown by an unholy sill

lamentable day."
All these things II New York. Pennsylvania
and Ohio disclose with some distinctness the
nature and extent OF the venomOus wrmglings
of the Northern democrats over the spoils
The condition OF the Southern clieues is
but little better. And the question still
reeurs-Can Geneaal Pierce reconcile these
factions by any possible division of the
public plumber. No. 1t would be useless to
attempt it. Disregarding the low, miserable
tricks and intrigues, and contemplate quafrels
of the,eontending chques, for power andpatron-
age, however noisy they may be, the only sure
and safe reliance of General Pierce is the Union,
the Union platform, and Union cabinet. He
has the strength to coerce, and will be sustained
by the country in coercing, through course Of
rigid discipline, all disorganisers of both Sec
lions into submission. His whole true policy is
comprehended in three words-bold, indepen
dent, firm. Let him adopt it. He has great re-
sponsibilities before him, but he has the conf
dence Of the country.
MORE FISHERY TRoupI1Es.-The subjoined re-
solutions were recently adopted at public
meeting held at st. Johr N. B., with reference
to the pending negotiations relative to the fish
cries. A series of ultra resolutions were pro-
posed. in amendment by the Hon. Charles ST.
monds, the language of which is remarkably
strong, expressing fears that colonial interests
will be lost sight Of and imperial interests alone
regarded and contending that g the North
American colonies cannot receive, by any COM
mercial regulations. any equivalent for the ces-
sion Of their invaluable in-shore fsheries,' and
protesting against any such concession as is
contemplated, as one which the imperial govern
ment or parliament have no right to make the
vast magnitude of which, if made, would as
suredly, at no distant period, enable the great
republic to become the first naval power, and
Great Britain, of consequence, only the second
If not still lower.' 9 And, further, that if
the rights Fishing on the coasts ofBritish North
America are conceded to the Americans, for the
supposed advantages of free or reciprocal trade,
it will be another instance. added to many more
within the past two hundred years, in which
colonial interests have been sacrificed to benefit
the manufacturers and merchants of England"

MEXICAN DIsTINGUEs IN New YoRK.-Mexico
is becoming quite an important region for the
people of the United States, who are kept
posted up in all the ever-varying stage-shfting
tricks Of the governmental and revolutionary
parties Of our republican neighbor. The HERALD
