understand that Gov. Marcy was dissatisfied
with the made to him the other day by Johl
Van Buren,, concerning the New York election, AM
could give him no assurances Whatever Of the futur
policy Of the President the subject. The Premier
IN word though disposed TO fall easy, is sag Acou
enough 70 see that the meeting of Congress will b,
the signal for hot work. He looks perturbed, walk,
fAster than usual talks more roughly and abruptly
but nys he has seen such splits in New York before
Ny opinion Is that he, at least, will Eight it out.
nRedfeld is rejected by the Senate, as ne may
be, II is very likely that Secretary Guthrie VIII va
cate the Treasury; and tnat there is movement on
foot now to bring about that test, have some rea-
sen to believe. Get Guthrie ont, and we may count
upon complete reconstruction OF ut least half the
Cabinet.
The result in Mississippi viii be followed up, ac-
eoriug to sdvices here received by the election Of
JEFFERSON Davis to the Senate the contest before the
people being between him and Gen. Foote, and the
latter being badly beaten. Ny present belief is,
that II elected to the Senate Davis viii resign the
War Department, for the sake Of the President and
democratic harmony. Indeed, If he does not resign
to fight Toombs, Of Georgia, it will be matter Of
prise to al who know both parties for both roombs
and Davis are said TO be red hot lighting men
The President looks well enough, appears easy
but talks s0rrowfully over the result in New York.
He keeps his own counsel upon the subject, how
ever, except with the Cabinet; and, from the fire.
quent visits during the last week, Of Gov Marcy to
the White House. 1t Ii evsdens that the Premier has
been laboring hard, with such poor excuses john
vaa Buren, could give, to explain the business. And
the editors Of the U,on surely in trouble for at
almost any hour in the forenoon Major Nicholson
may be found with the President, or waiting to see
him, o. going in or csming out de looks as II no
thing but another letter from Gen. Cas- would size
tho Congress printing to the Ualon oiice and that
letter will not be written.
The exhibita from the several departments VIII
show not only an increa Of recei ots but reduc-
tion Of expenses, and . good many little items Of
reform. This is satisfactory a. far ~ it goes; but
some oonse cradle extra appropriations will be re-
quirod for the Army on the frontiers, and for the
Navy. There Is another satisfactory feature about
this Cabinet, and tina, is, that with one or two
eepaons, they are accessible men, and ready in q
courteous way to give all the information to their
vaers consistent with the rules and reservations by
which they have to be guided.
The President will have nothing to do with the
election of Speaker but of course, the democratio
members, especially of the Van Buren, stripe, will
call up to the President before settling upon their
candidate, in der to ascertain what can De done.
Whoever may be elected Speaker it is supposed will,
q consult the President before appointing the
standing committees OF the House, 80 as to shape
their composition meet the public measures to be
recommended in the annual message; and by the way
yoa may count upon good, substantial natter-of
fhct progressive messas e, done up In good style.
OfcoCrse, the branch Of the message relating to
our foreign affairs, will be made up from the report
hOm the State Department which IL ways embodied
in the message; and here We may, Of course, expect
En- khn vyiou cof The Ain1n
tunes and the Kostza case repeated, together with
some very important illusions 70 manifest destiny"
And am inclined to thlbk that the Presi lent will
recommend territorial government for Nebraska,
and that measure to this effect will afford fiue
opening for the national democrats upon the slavery
question. THOMAS.
