Ii is not to be doubted, therefore, that he will
receive tho support Of all the odds and ends
of creation there. Many calculate that the
alacrity with which the Abolitionists have
rallied upon him, will have the effect of in
ducing the " Silver Gregg to drop him. To
our mind. this idea is dissipated by the alac-

forward to his support, averring that he stands
only on the Wing platform, not having replied

1.-THE Unity Of the Cabinet An odd cir
cumstance has just come to light, which, in
the absence OF more stimulating topics at the
present moment. may furnish = theme for talk
IN political circles. The question amounts to
his: Is the cabinet q 'unit''--one and indi-
visible in sen timent and action-or is il of
contrary character There have recently ap-
peared two documents proceeding from th at
quarter which BY no means harmonic Cne is

Secretary Marcy. declaring the Rec prociry
treaty duly ratified on both psrts,' and pro
claiming he treaty in form-.-.o the end til st
the same. and every clau'e and ar icle thereof
may b. observed and fulfilled With good faith
by the United states ana Tho citizens thereof
The o. her Is circular letter from the Se:Ie
tsry Of the Treasury to the Collector at New
York, informing him that the treaty is MOI yet
duly ratified, inasmuch rs the British provin-
cial parliameDis have not yet given it Their
ratification, which the terms of the treaty re
quire as necessary condition for carrying il
into operation-and that in consequence the
treaty cannot be observed and fulfilled in
good faith" by either party as yet Here the
President and the Secretary of the Treasury

is in the right-but is tho order of the subal-
tern to prevail in contradic ion to tina. of the
Secretary agree or disagree at tho present mo
ment! The proclamation represents the treaty
as already in force; the circular declares il is
not in force. Which Of the two is the CoIlec-

without parallel in the history of the nation

which, when it has occasion to critioise tae

humor, instead Of going into spasms of sri e
and rsgo, like q man confined in Bedlam But
the answer to this paragraph, supposing the, o

parent. Many treaties occur which are com.
