- may b doubted whether the Senate com-
lalsfee would not havesmost effectuaIly pro-
neted tneir object-namsly, the adoption Of
stipulated arbitration as m element in our H.
tnre freaties-by avoiding even the appearance
Of identity with extremists and Missionaries Of
the day. Plans excellent in themselves have
been often spoiled by excess or by bad or lu-
dicrous alliance; and the peace movement is one
of them.
The Buffalo Republic accuses this journal
and the Albany Argus of conspiring against
the peace and prosperity of the New York
Democracy. The Buffalo journalist labors
under conviction that there is to be an ANAL
gamation Of the conservative Wings and the con-
sentative Democrats; and he singles out the Re
public and the Iargus as culprits who are trying
to bring about the catastrophe, and to stimu-
late the President to infiict summary justice
on the offending Barnburners and their allies
Our part in the matter, so far, has been to do
what the Union has neglected to do--to make
the metropolitan politicians familiar with the
faithlessness of one portion of the New York
Democracy, and the honest protests of another;
and, while the Union continues its neglect, we
shall continue to perform the task Other
wise there would be none but one sided views
OF the party prospects in circle where it is
especially desirable that all sides should be
seen.
AS our Buffalo namesake is at pains to con-
yey the idea that our representations rest only
upon the statements of the Hardshell .drgus,
we quote paragraph from Saturdays Nation
al Densocrat-the MARCY organ it has usually
been called, and certainly, under its present
management. an organ that is AT once respect
able and efficient. The Barnburning print
will perceive that prescription is here invoked
with all the semblance of authority
eve are for no other kind of union and consol
idation but that which stands firm and strong on
the platform which occupied during the late
campaign. There have been in the columns of
the EDening Post, the Albany alias, and the Buff
falo Republic, the incipient signs of revolt against
the principles of that platform. The Buffalo Re.
public even speaks out it's loud treason, and de-
clares that Hhe radical Democracy will not cease
to srepudiate them in unqualified terms There
was, therefore, necessity for great care in the
appointments. We still hold that no man is to
rejected for what he in lS48-but for ,ohat
he Is noso. Let repentant sinner live but if
man is still rebelious, why should he receive the
weapons Of patronage TO stab the Government
In consequence of the unmistakable signs of hos.
tility to the principles of the Administration, it
became indispensable that some Democrat of
Governor Dickinson's tried political principles
should be placed in the post of collector at this
port. We look upon his appointment, not as
triumph of faction, but as a necessary protec-
ton to a principle. The weight of his character
and the 6rmness of his will cannot but powerful
Iy aid the Administration in New York;
