The Cabinet Correspondence.


Secretary Guthrie's letter to Collector
Bronson has been followed by the publica-
ton of letters from two others Of the Cabinet,
which rank in the same category with that
most disgracciul of all papers hitherto issued
by the heal Of a Department. We find them
in the N. Y. Tines. Mr.. Jefferson Davis,
Secretary of War, having heard it stated that
he had made expressions hostile to Mcssrs.
Bronson and O'Conor. and in favor of the
Frees faction in New York, writes to deny
the statement. He says:
The present confusion in the use Of old
names, and the difficulty of r,concilng pre-
sent positions with old opinions, render it
necessary to be very precise IN the use Of
terms.
d. not consider those who stand firmly on
the platiorm Of the D,mpcratr Convention Of
1882, to be Frec-Solcrs, though they may be
opposed to the distinguished Democrats named
Ivy you in the article above referred to.
If, in the progress of tie campaign, either
division should array its |. on the side Of the
enemies of the Administration, or become the
agitators Of questions which the Democratic
party is pledged in all time to prevent from
revival then shall look upon them as foes Of
the Democracy. and d>turbcrs Of that peace
and fraternity essential TO our Unon.
lie also denies that he had endorsed Pres
ton King and john Van Burcn, and goes ON
to define his position as follows:

platform declared by the Democratic party in

That being the case, the wing force docs not
vary two from what we put it down at, ac-
cording to our returns after elpcton-when
there remained few towns unhcard from.
The democrats are evidently c'rarrincd at
their number being SO much smaller than
their organs had promised them.

have had help from tho famous Committee
on useless information -
The Wig position in tho Senate : stronger
than was calculated for fy tho y oi-s. Some
doubt rested on the election Of Mr. Milling
ton of Bennington, but il '-as resolved in his
favor. Mr.. Stevens Of Franklin County. =
staunch and able y him, claimed Tic seat lo.'
which Mr. Boguo n democrat OF tina, county
waa returned by a small majority, on the
ground that Illegal votes had beon given for
Mr.. Bogue deceased since elcction) which
if they had been cast ont, would have left the
election in favor of him, Mr.. Stevens. The
committee unanimously Zone being demo-
craft reported that the facts brought before
them, suhstantiated Mr.. Stevens claims, and
he was admitted to his soat.
But it is to be admitted that the Whica can
claim no credit for being no worse OF than
they are. 1t is to their shame, that owing 10
their own apathy and want ofpropor attention
10 their own party interests they suffered
defeat in several Of the strongest Wing towns
in the State. Among these Burlington stand,
foremost. We have heard that bademincncy
assigned to our own fair town within the last
