The Union Of yesteraay--and believe that print is
generally esteemed to be official organ Of the Admin
israon-contained the following significant paragraph
copied without comment, from the Buffalo IN. ~
Courier
MAJOR DIcKiE.-The Albany Atlas, in speaking Of our
y-apponted Postmaster, says g Mr.. Diokey, the
Postmaster at Buffalo was one Of the delegates 10 the
Buffalo Convention, and is gentleman Of undoubted
competency"
The first part Of this is libel upon AIR Dickie. He
was not those who lS48 used al their nfaence
to divide distract and defeat the Democratic party lie
had nothing do with the " Buffalo Convention or the
Buffalo platform, bat has been straightforward,
working Democrat. The Atlas wrongs him in CHASING
him with those who aided the Wings in defeating
General Cass and clectng General Taylor and in
throwing the Democracy of this State
Unless explained this publication justifes TIE inference
that the Union is in favor of the appointment
Office by President PIERCE Of TIE many highly respectable
gentlemen who in ls4S useG all their influence 10 divide
distract and defeat the Democratic pary, vino had
any thing .'o do with the Buffalo platform or sewho
aided the wags in defeating General Cass ,lnd eecng
General Taylor and in overthrowng the Democracy Of
New York and of the Union. Rumor-not, however,
fully creditedhas induced the suspicion that there have
been dieagreements this very point in the Cabinet
councils, and that theaave yet fully reconcled
and the selection of Gea Dix the candidate of the Balo
Convention in 1s4S fer the Gupenatoria chair Of New
York. for the Subtreesury Of New York. and since
ported for the mission France authorized the conclu
sior that the majority of the Cabinet do agree with
the Union. 1t is presumed the Union will enighten the
Democratic party and the public generally this in
srrestng topic.
BY the by es you might fail to notice it, would call
your attention to the following article copied, without
comment, FROM the Charleston Mercury, into the Union
a day two since, which is equally significant:
! THE PoIroy ADw-MsrnATIoS.-We copy from
the New YORK Journal OF Commerce article consisting
of editorial letter from Washington,
which follows them. Will the sensible editor Of that
paper heartily agree that the programme Of foreign
policy sketched by the writer of the letter ought not to be
andxe publish for the purpose of expressing
strong conviction that tis, and thousand other like
statements atrbutng the Administration purpose of
boarding all the world by the assertion of socaed
American policy, in degree trustworthy. We
convinced that the statesmen who compose this time the
Executive Of the United States of prudence and
good COUNSEL that they neither desire wantony plunge
into disputes with other nations will incur the rid
Guile Of all the world and OF all time, by asserting for the
United States democratic right prmogenure to inherit
all the vacant obsolete incompetent soyeregntes
Of North and South America
To be and watchul friend Of al the Ameri-
Governments, extend commercial intercourse
and 10 increase political good understanding with
them by all proper means-this heartily approve, and
this have TO believe will form feature in the
policy of President Pierces administration We
hope for ii will be step in maintenance of the Monroe
doctrine at sure PEACEFUL and full Of good results
Whatever Young America" may say to this quasi
official reputation of its tbashRg doctrines by the
Administraton-for must this endorsement Of the
Mercury by the organ be regardedit viii afford gratf
