The CarOllntan and the Administration.

We surprised to see in the last number of the
daily Caonian yiolen! assault on the administration.
York The letter Of Col Davis, Secretary of War. on
the subject Of New York politics. is also assaed by the
CqSonsn II IL only few days since that this same
Conisn defended the administration when sssHiled by
Putnam's Magazine for the same line OF policy Presi-
dent Pierce and hs whole cabinet to
ce the entire democratic party OF the United States
standing on the Baltimore platform. They wish di.
vision 10 the ranks OF the democratic party for divs
ion will endanger The OF those great principles OF
government which the administration is striving to carry
out, and which will cement the federal Union, preserve
the rigs OF the States, defend the constitutions and ad
minister Justice and equality 10 every section Of the
public. Is the administration censurable for this No
true hearted democrat can say 30, or will dare say 50
openly. st sy6
How is this union oi the democratic party to be main
tanned but BY doing equal justice to every section and
fragment OF The party, whilst carrying out successfully
and Roronsly the great principles Of democracy Ia the
letter Of Mr. Secretary Guthrie he asks OF The collector Of
New York nothing than equal justice both wings
OF the democratic party OF New York, and If he il in
fused with the true spirit OF Gen Perce's administration,
he will suffer nothing less to be done 10 the
Of federal patronage. II is the duty OF the President
and has been his custom from time imneme,al 10 sp
point bis political supporsrs and not hia potcal oppo-
nents to Office In making these appointments be must
do equal justice to all OF his political friends and II is his
duty 70 see that all Of his subordnaies pursue the
course.
That the wings. who seek 10 break down the adminis
tratOn and get into power and reward their political sur
porers with Office. should abuse President Pierce, Mr.
policy is not strange but that democrats should be viii
ning about the cohesive power OF The spos and failing
into this whg camo is passing strange Nothing be
ed by the CarOnan, that this attempt the part OF The
administration 10 harmonze the democracy of New York
ls aG Effort on their part to control the politics of
ereign State. 1t Is nothing less than saying
that all democrats who have mounted the Baltimore plat
form on which The President was elected, and who still
labor to carry out in good faith the true political primer
pies OF that platform, equally entitled 10 the conf
ence and patronage OF the federal government If there
be crime sin in this is the offence of hearted
patriot and statesman, who looks his principles and
the prosperity and glory Of his country whilst admins.
tenng equal justice to his frieads and political sup.

II is well known that the democratic party of New
York 10 divided into two great wings, and it would be
not only unwse, but UNJUST for the President 10 besow,
permit others TO bestow, all the eIeral Offices on
wing 10 the exclusion OF the other This policy Mr.
Bronson was disposed to pursue, and it produced
plant, and Just complaint II was in violation OF the
principle which all the great federal Offices of New
vded them between the two democratic sections and he
requires Mr.. Bronson pursue the came policy in be-
slowing those smaller Offices which belong 10 The collect
orshir OF The cay of New York. What great outrage is
this he Carollnan, with the lone and efrontery OF
whg paper, should call every independent democratic
journal in the country to deDOunce! II were dis
posed to violate the principles Of justice defeat the dem
ocralc measures o our government and assist in break
ing down the administration for the purpose OF placing
the wings in power, might respond 10 the Caronian
and follow suit in its denunciaons; but ill then we
sba not be humbugged by this New York clamor trum
