Fedora, Appointment. in New York.

The camor raised by the enemies oil the adm'nislra-
ton as TO the appointment OF democrats TO once who
acted with the free-soiles in ls4s has made an erro-
neous impression. which can only be corrected BY stub
horn facts. Thousands of good democrats have been
led 10 suppose that the avors OF the President had been
showered on the quondam free -soiers, whilst he had
only given an occasional crunb TO the faithful por
ZION OF the party. The pernacity with which the clam
orous faconiss have pressed this charge has had its
effect but, like all other arising from passion
and misrepresentation, it will yield TO the Developments
Of truth The only Stale in which this charge has pro-
duced serious embarrassment is New York We have il
in power to disspae the by facts which admit
OF no further controversy. We have been furnished

Massachuset.s.-The New Constitution.

We observe that in some quarters in Massachusetts
attempt is made TO perver the declared determination
OF the President and cabinet discoun,enance all
ciaon with iree-soilism forth in Gen. Cushing
letter. into demonstration OF hostility against the adop
toe OF the amendments 10 the State constitution pro
posed by the late constitutional convention. This
appehend, ia TOO transparent trick impose in any de
gree upon the democrats Of Massachusetts,. That re-
form in the Stale constitution nperatvely demanded
is not questioned. That very many OF the important
amendments adopted by the convention fully in har-
mony with the democratic creed, and that others OF them
though perhaps less complete than might be theoretically
desirable yet most useful reforms Of the constitution
il stands is proved by the large vote by which
they adopted in convention fresh from The PEG
pie. as we'll by all the other indications which
dent upon the face of the amendments themselves. We
believe that in this they will BE- accepted and
tanned by the true democracy OF The State the polls
Be this as it may, however, nothing be more abb
surd than regard the reputation OF free sosm as set
forth in Gen. Cushngs letter, designed 10 any degree TO
operate against the proposed reform in the State consu
,on The two subjects have whatever and
we have hesitation in saying, positively and empha,i-
caly that nothing further from Gen Cushings pur
pose in his letter than design to them or to say
the demscac party to give effect at the POLLS the
forms in their State constitution which the convention
ha. CONNIE nded to their adoption.
