COMING Up TO THE SCRATCH.-Since the terri
bic defeat which the Cabinet has sustained
here in the recent election has been fully
known, the various members Of Congress from
this city are coming upt the scratch like men.
Mr.. Cutting, one OF the members, has made a
noble speech at the recent meeting at the Stuy-
vesant Institute. John Wheeler and Mike
Walsh, two other Of our city members, are al
ready well known to be opposed to the Cabinet
in their recent doings, and to be in favor Of
putting down the Van Buren, faction. Where
are the rest of our city members? Where is Mr..
Tweed? Where is Mr.. Walker? AND above ALL
where il our able-bodied friend Gen. Wall
bridge? We saw him the other day, just re-
turned from California, safe and sound rosy
and round. But that is not sufficient. He
must show his hand, and that quickly, whether
he is for one side or the other of the present
Cabinet BE is our protect in politics. and
We have right to demand to know where he
stands. There is to be great meeting to
celebrate the victory over the Cabinet and the
Van Buren, faction, with Ohm Van Buren, at its
head and our old friend Captain Rynders at its
tail 1t will be rouser we have no doubt.
