thus of the conduct Of the Administration in

the best Offices in NewIork L
The ULlon knows how well the Secretary hl
State has kept faith with the former rebels OF
this State The Union knows that the power
he possesses over the President has been used
unscrupulously in rewarding those who were
the most prominent among the traitors Of ISlc.
The Union knows that had Pierce and Marcy 90
willad it, the Barnbnrncr faction Of New ork
State nigh, have been crushed in the earth,
with all its scctionaiity and all its isns, beyond
the hope ola resurrection. The Union knows
too, that the course which has been pursued by
the Administration, is the only one which could,
by any possibility, have revived agitation, ana
given renewed vitality to the abolition faction
of the democratic party. And yet that profes-
sedly national organ attempts to excuse the ae-
tion Of the President and his adviser, on the
score Of " expeiiency" and to find reasons for
their policy which the Barnburners must ridi-
cule, and their own friends must scorn.

thc door OF his bedchamber he became aware OF
the presence Of light in the room, where he
had left all dark, and on entering saw his lady
struggling frantically to secure a creature Of

effected entrance, not only to her chamber,
but into her bed, where his actions soon awakened
her to "A sense of her situation.
