We cannot see ia ihe difficulties in New York any
sufficient for The extreme course OF the Argus
and Advertiser, SO far as Tie administration OF that
State is concerned. But. however this may be-wihout
soppng to inquire which faction of the party is right
wrong in The local quarres which prolific of much
h,eIness-we feel perfeclly and entirely certain that
there has been nothing in the policy or The acts Of the
national administration that can justify for a
moment the attitude OF hostility assumed towards by
the papers in question. We have supposed thai,
General Pierce could dispose OF the thousands of appoint
meuis, which the law Ieques him TO make, TO the per-
feet satisfaction of all portions of the democratic party.
Even had there been prior divisions ard
irgs among those who united in support of Gen Pierce
this would not have been possible. But when it is
collected how wide had been the breach 10 New York
and one or two other States, and when il Is recoected
how many more applicants must be disappointed than APP
pointed we prepared 10 hear some low distant
bling but We were mo- prepared 10 witness such storm
or such attempt ut storm, perhaps we should sayas
The Argus and the Advertiser endeavorng 10 excite.
These papers do not dir city attack the administrations
that ia, they have moi as yet assaed Gen. Pierce They
might however as well do So and Judging from ndica-
,cnr this will be their next STEP They have, however
commenced a warfare upon the Washington Union.
