The minor Offices were then distributed after the

men. Cass men, buchanan men, all sorts osmen. even
including Webster men and boiling Wings, each and

was thus done and every class nthc whole school had
cot its medals and political notsbiities of all stripes
had obtained plums the President concluded that
his work was done, that the party was thoroughly
united fused melted and together, and that there
WAS nothing left for him but smooth sailing to the end
Of his career Doubtless he is astOnished to ind now
ere be has scarcely got through with what ne fanced
was the work of consolidating his party, that it was
never in more friable disntegrated, loose and dis
iouted -sate than at this moment Distributing Offices
10 its various parts has failed altogether to have the
effect TO link the parts together. Like stubborn CATTLE
they Do not draw together any better for being well fed
Such s the condition ofthings with Mr. Pierce at the
assembling of Congress He finds that the body Of
men which elected him now, as they were at the
time of the election loose aggregation of dscortant
materials Their quarrels are fierce in all quarters
title South, tie Union men and Secessionists OF the
Democratic ranks ere at open war In the North the
fud between Hunkers and Barnbumers was never
more intense than at this moment He is surrounded
by a mirc political perplexities
Ill this, he ought to be able to see, is the natural
fruit Of the swindle that elected him. Mr.. Pierce
wrote no letter to Capt Scott, and was therefore not
obnoxious te the anti compromise wings Of the party
Nj Burke has told us al about how il happened that
Nj Pierce was kept out of the ring Of the regular
competitors until the wreath of nomination was ready
TO fall when hs head was bobbed suddenly up in the
midst Of them to catch it, He was no Compromise
candidate but his position just ambiguous enough
to catch the Compromise votes. Indeed, he was no.
where in particular and, therefore, made frst-rate
candidate to obtan very general suffrage. If he had
been Compromise candidate The Union now admits
lie could not have been elected lie played that part
far as to cheat the Nationals into his support bat now
seeing that he in the hands Of Barnburners and Sc
ceseioniss, they desert him The original fraud of the
canvass is thus likely TO work the overthrow of its
chief perpetrators.
