Senator BOrands appointment as Governor of Mes
Mexico settles trouble in Arkansas that babe fair sho
to break the Democratic party there into two tragmh
quite as hostile to each other as the Barnburner u
Hunker factions in New-York were, not long since ns
was the revival Of the old Sewer and anSeyer parts
with fercer bitterness if possible The death of Sever
healed that trouble for the time being Thswng has hos
ever, lately came under the lead of the Hon Robert
johnson, whom you know well for ono of the most sue
ccsstu managers in the House of Representatives 9th
United States Mr. Borland's fighting propensities n
his neverdyng antiSevierism have secured him the t
of the other wing But Johnson has Out-generalei Lin
in every way rendering il absolutely certain thu 10
would have been elected in Borands stead at the close
Ofhis regular term, now not far distant Out Of bis DE-
feat any number of fights with bOwie-knife or pstd
would probably have grown These facts well know
to the Administration, who have acted phlanthyh
cay to say the least iOr them III thus getting the Hoo
Scion BOrland off the track peaceably Nerly,nG
the purpose of healing difficulties in the party gs@
out of the cashing ambition of leaders eyerywhen Y
pears TO have been the grand work the Adminlstrin
has set out to accomplish. Johnson will of course sue
ceed BOrand in the Senate, where, clever fellow @e
is he will do far less harm TO the public interest hsna
the House. where he is now almost universally releda
to rush through fast propositions for the expendln
of public money, such as most members fear to ai'

path that he is perhaps personally the most pPir
man in the House; while his colleague Mr.. BorlaMB
perhaps the most unpopular gentleman In the sense
As even his (JOhnsons) propensity to give eyegthgh

1t is not Col VIM. H. Polk of Tennessee who w
have the post of purchaser of coal for the purpo~ q
the Government, but the " Col Polk" of Batmore,sn
being disappointed in obtaining the office in whehs
was fixed under the Administration of his naInesas
sulkily refused another day two since. The sasl
of this coal purchasershlp is but $1,000 per annun VIZ
travelling expenses. Yet few offices under the G0ven
ment have been as ravenOusly sought after; the res3
for which undoubtedly lies in the fact that it affords ss
pie opportunities tor taking much more pay from aao
than is received from the buyer for making the Pdf
chases.
1t is understood here that Mr.. Dckinson's decenss
at once practically stranges hard-shesm IN your d
as without pay from the Custom House for such sern
ces the bar-rO0m abOrers in the Hard. Shell cause u
hardly continue to war Marcy; the Adminlstrstn
sustaining him, too, with nearly all Its patronage IN
City Of New-York. -,
The party's affairs in NewYOrk City are thus css
subject of conversation in Democratic circles here,

lief that without the control of the Custom House
ronage the party which had the majority in the LaaF
eral Committee are as good as dead and buried, poF
ally-rondeTed harmless, at least
They fight here valianty, however. Hearing tbdv
President and Mr.. McNair, the new Sergeantat-Arrss
the Senate, walked up last night in order to preParn
to prevent the Senators from vamOsing this monr
by the A. NJ train and Southern boat, they at once
newewed the cry Of dissolution of the Cabinet

He is ambitious and is doubtless, fattered with ~
attentions-though, on coming to understand thdE
