WASHINGTON, Sept ii, 1851.
Tie li.tleness Of ofice-begsing is reduced to =
fire point under this Administration BY the nece.s
ties Of numerous seedy scions Of fine old Virginia
stock, Who from pure devotion to the Constitution
are badgoring tie President to be taken into Gov
eminent pay. One hundred and fifty Of these co.
terprsipg youths applicants for berths in the
several waeOn.road expeditions, half as mauy more
offer their services for the exploration of the Col
oradc, and all of them are thrstng to be clothed 10
the Federal livery on some service or other, from
fighting Abotionists in Kansas to signing the monthly
pay-rols in Washington.

hoarse dscord and treason at Richmond, threaten

out of their wits, and Fremont might have been
President WISE therefore, is the autocrst who
dispenses Vrgina's share Of the patronage. Bat as
Wise il q candidate for the Presidency rival Of
Hunter, his utterances are sometimes like those
from the sacred tripod at Delphi. He would Like to
please both factions. The two candidates for the
place of Philips, Sixth Auditor, Tate and Norris,
both claim to be indorsed by the Governor. But the
"origina and only farley" in the premises seems to
be Tate, who, as such, supposed himself appointed,
and announced his removal from Richmond bIther
to assume the high responsibilities of the position.
But Faulkner, who wanted to be Secretary OF War
himself, finding that Tate was Floyd's candidate,
made cemOnstratiCn in favor Of an opponent.
Harassed and perpsxed by these Titanic struggles,
the President, with profound sagactv, has decided
to light each faction by fouting the other, and so
retains Phillips.
The same petty warfare veides the Cabinet and

appointments of the same grade Were it not Tor
Che outside pressure growing out of the Kansas
wickedness, which keeps the Cabinet together, the
Administration would split upon these sunken rocks
of personal jealOusies.
The Government has achieved an accOmmoda
tion with New-Granada, in which all the demands
of the former have been abandoned, save that OF
necuniary naturalization for the losses of life and
property, in the riot of the Spring of 1856. The
abstnacy of the Newt ranadians has been rewarded
by their triumph on all other points. The cOnyen-
ton has vet to be ratified by the authorities OF New
Granada, which ratification is by no means certain
to take place. There will be no renewal OF dipo'
matte intercourse until after ratification
The osteDtatious efforts of Walker or his agents u
tecruit victims for another campaign in Nicaragua
are clear violations of the neutrality laws, but oil
course they will meet with little practical opposition
from the Government. AS Walkers object Is to
establish an independent slave cOnfederacy, or to
add new Slave States to this Union, it challenges
the hearty sympathy Of our rulers. claw and

degradation of freemen and the extinction of liberty
but when they cOntrayene the designs OF Slavery, u
