How SHALL New YORK BE REPRESENTED IN
THE New CABMET?-We presume that there is
already an immense outside pressure upon Mr..
Buchanan in relation to the vexed question of
New York politics. and as to what is to be done
with the politicians Of this Sate-a question that
puzzled Mr. Polk and swamped poor Pierce The
politicians are already in great futter about it,
and little clques are being organized all over the
State to settle things for the new President even
before the meetings of the Electoral Colleges. We
publish this morning an interesting letter from
Albany. Our correspondent is behind the scenes
and speaks by the card He gives graphic pic
ture of the situation as it is, and shows COM
plete daguerreotype of the politicians and their
movements While, however, we give our cor
respondent full swing for his opinions, we must
put in word OF two of dissent. 1t seems to be
taken for granted that Mr.. Marcy is not to be re
tanned in the Cabinet; and the question is to
whom shall be assigned the honor Of representing
the Empire State in the councils Of Mr.. Buchanan?
Our correspondent mentions several names and
among them those Of Mr.. Daniel S. Dickinson
and Mr.. Erastus Corning. Mr. Dickinson has OBJ
tanned some adventitioas notoriety as the chosen
leader of the hard democracy, SO called.
Now, there is no hard democracy-now,
consequently, there is no Mr.. Dickinson. That
gentleman is an estimable country lawyer and
respectable fossilized politician at least five hun
dred years behind the age. A fine old piece Of
antique political furniture is Mr.. Dickinson; but
the new Cabinet must not be in the rocco STYLE
No doubt there are some people in Albany,
where Mr.. Nastus Corning resides, who think
that the head Of the Central railway and ope-
rator in all sorts of securities would be
good Secretary Of the Treasury The peo-
pie in Albany are mistaken. Mr.. Corning is
no better fitted for the post than many stock
iobber in Wall street; and under his direction
the department would simply be rendezvous for
note shavers, bulls, bears and lame ducks With
Thurlow Weed, and others of the same clique at
Albany, to assist him, Mr.. Corning has made
great deal Of money out of the Central railway
and other close corporations If he should be
chosen as the financial head Of the government,
be and Weed would simply transfer their scene Of
operations to the national capital, and set up
business on larger scale. So neither Mr.. Corn
ing or Mr.. Dickinson will do for the next Cabinet
The WASHINGTON REPUBLICAN MANIFESTO
The Republican Committee at Washington city
have issued manifesto congratulating the party
on their achievements in the late election, and
urging them to continued action and renewed
energy in reference to the future. The Commit
tee rest their course upon hostility to the slave
power" to the extension of slavery" to the
oligarchy of shareholders" and slavery propa-
gandists" under the idea that Mr.. Buchanan is
to be but the facile tool of such fre-eaters as
Jefferson Davis, Pierre Soule and r. Barnwell
Rhett. This is all delusion. 1t is a delusion to
suppose that the heavy popular vote given to
Fremont was vote of hostility to shareholders
or the slave oligarchy." Nothing of the sort.
Fremont's vote is the popular protest of the
North against the unconstitutional rufiian policy
of poor Pierce in Kansas Upon that issue we
advocated Frenont's election, and thousands
upon thousands of his supporters did the same
thing. Upon the general abolition issue of hos
tility to the slave power" Fremont's vote would
have been that of Van Buren, in ls4s, or Hale Of
1852. This issue of hostility to the slave oil
garchy" is q false issue-a sectional and democrat
izing issue--a disunion issue and every honest
Union supporter of Fremont will repudiate it.
Fremont might have been easily elected had the
battle been concentrated more upon the Kansas
question, and less upon the shareholders as class
and the South as section. These ultra anti
slavery supporters would have utterly ruined his
cause but for such counterbalancing disunionists
as Wise, Brooks, Slidell, Toombs, Keitt and COM
pany. The honest Union supporters Of Fremont
will await the issues of the new administration.
