Of all the disturbing agitation and all the
rascality of corrupt politicians, Is the public
plumber. Were there no spoils there would be
no trouble in the country now. The spoiis cor
Eupted, demoralixed and broke up the demo-
cratic party, and "the cohesive power Of the
public plumber" has organized the republican
party on their ruins. The politicians of the old
whig party, finding that they could not get into
Office in any other way, got up an anti-slavery
issue, and appealed TO the religious fanaticism
Of the North, which, aided by the pulpit has
rendered them successful. They cared not
whether they dissolved tho Union or not. They
were determined to have the spofls, either In
The Union or in the Northern half of 1t after
secession. and q this public plumber Is the
grand motive ct "the irrepressibls conflict"
among Abe politicians Of the party, the nght
among them will be a. fierce and
terrible as that Of dozen dogs over one bone.
There will he at least one hundred candidates
for every place, and as many cspdidates for
every job. Already are the dogs Of Office on
the scent Of the prey. The following list of
candidates for Offices in this city is published

Such are the candidates already in the field
There will be grand rush for the spoils, and
II the Southern men would only have little
patience they would see the republican party
broken up in fight for the plumber In six or
eight months after the Inauguration Of Lincoln.
And Jet it is for the sake Of this that the Union
s now brought to the very verge of dissolution
BY reckless and unprincipled demagogues.
The TRBusE's RESPONSE TO Our CALL UPON
THE REPUBLICAN, MERcHANTs.-The Tribune, re-
spending to our call upon the republican mer-
chants Of New York to hold public meeting
explanatory Of their real sentiments. and their
objects and views In voting for Lincoln, under
takes to say on behalf Of these gentlemen that
such Q meeting would have no effect, ss the
merchants would be suspected of being merely
DESTROYS to sell their wares, or to be paid for
wares already sold, and the force Of their pro-
tAstations, therefore, would be without effect
In this dilemma the Tribune suggests that :" the
prominent statesmen and politicians Of the late
democratic and fusion parties " should issue
manifesto vouching for the sound, constitutional
views OF the republican party, and declaring
that /" there ia not the slightest reason for sup
poeing that II intends TO interfere with any Of
the rights OF the States" II the Tribune Is Of
opinion that the word of the republican mer-
chants Of New York is unworthy Of credit, We
have no objection to the leaders Of the demo-
cracy and the fusion parties endorsing them,
provided they will 6rst declare their views But
II would be unreasonable to ask any one to ssy
90 much for them till they say II 6rst for them
selves, lest they should come out with q denial,
and proclaim their continued adhesion to the
principles OF Helpers book, and to the ire
The crisis is upon them, and II II continues much
longer they will neither be paid for what they
have sold nj the South, nor even effect any more
sales to tho jewellers beyond Mason and Dixon's
Zine. Their own interests, the interests Of the
whole country, are at stake; commercial panic
has commenced, and II Is their bounden duty to
come forward aud remove the apprehensions Of
the Southern Slater, II they really do not con-
cur In the doctrines Of the ultra wing Of their
party. Let them take this step, aid they will
be endorsed and applauded by all good men In
Che community. But above all, let Mr.. Lincoln
come forward before II Is too late and mike
such declaration Of bis views a. ought to tran
uuilize the excitement at the South. and arrest
Che rapid progress Of secession. Let him do
- - IN
him.
