The ultra whig politicians and journalists who broke down the administration of General Harn- son, in six weeks after his inauguration, by the re- vival of ultra measures, and the pursuit of selfish objects, are now beginning to show their tactics, and to assume their usual ground, preparatory to the incoming admnnistration of General Taylor. The first inklings of these sinister influences are beginning te be shadowed forth in two of their principal organs--the National Intelligencer, lo- cated in the political capital of the republic, and the Cowier and Enquircr, situated in the com- mercial metropolis of the continent, Both these organs—now that the election of General Taylor is placed beyond a doubt, and that the popular impulse has carried him in with overwhelming terce, to the Presidential chair—are beginning to wake up, to shake their heads, to open their eyes, to survey the ground, aud merk out, more or less obscurely—soimetimes directly, other times indi- reetly—the course which the man cf the people must pursue, if he wishes to secure their approba- tion and receive their undivided support, or other wise be put down as Harrisoa was. We give in our columns to-day, under an appro priate heading, two articles trom these organs, indicating the truth of what we say, for the pur- pose of calling the attention of the country to the fact of an attempted revival of those dele tenous influences which so unfortunately in- jured the popular triumph of 1810, and in less thun three months threw the administration of that day into the hands of the opposition— the ultra and trading democrats of that era. It will be observed that the language used and the opinions put forth in these oracular pronunceamen- tos, are managed with a good deal of caution, almost epproaching mystery and reserve, even while selfishness and intrigue peep from around their shoulders and the corners of their big ears. The Washington organ, having been for the last forty years fed on the corruption and drippings of faction at Washington, to the amount of nearly a million of dollars of the people's money, 1s deli- cate in the choice of words, though broad in its allueions to the fuiure expectations of its clique, in reference to both men and measures. But the New York organ, with more tact and discretion, veils its purposes with characteristic mystery, under the ample tolage of “ words, words, words.” Yet there te sufficient mm both to demand the attention of the country, and to make the great mass of the people who have just returned General Taylor Pre- sident of the United States, prepare for the contest, dark and secret, which 13 approaching, between the corrupt factions that spring up with every suc- cessful administration, and the great, enlightened, and wise men who should compose the adminis- tration of a new President. The first thing which strikes the mind in the Washington organ, is the bitter and unsparing de- nunciation of that policy and those glorious cam- paigns which have been the principal cause of de- veloping the character of General Taylor, and of recommending lim to the people for the Presidency, The Intellrgencer stigmatises the Mexican war as ‘cruel and desolating,”’ and, of course, by im- pleation, the hero of that war 1s “ cruel and deso- lating” aleo—alinost amounting to the same purpose, and in similar language to those oppo nents of vho have designated him “a ourneyman throat-cutter,” in this region, and set him down as totally unfit for any civil position which he might reach through the votes ef the people. ‘This denunciation of the war, which made General Taylor the great hero that he is, **as cruel and desolating,”’ seems a singular mode of ushering in the great triumph of the late elec- tion; yet it is a part of the same anti-national, anti-American, policy which characterised Mr. Clay, Tom Corwin, and Daniel Webster, for nine months previous to the election : and the result of which sentiment may be seen in the disastrous defeat sustained in Ohio, and in the commence- ment of the disorganization of the same party in Massachusetts. Another very important item connected with the future policy cf the political tecticians and jour- nalists of the old and ultra whig party, is their movements with regard to the veto. The veto is @ power given to the President by the con, stitution. It 1s there described and pointed out with euflicient clearness to guide every intelli- gent man who may be called upon to exercise the function with regard to any law passed by Congress. There can be no doubt, judging ot General Taylor from his position—from his whole life, from his character—that, should the Wilmot proviso be passed into law during the term of bis Presidency, fe will apply the veto to such a law, despite of all the exertions in advance to the contrary, by the organs of the ofice-beggars, trading politirrans, and cliques of every description, Che attempt, therefore, at this early stage, by these polineians and journalists, to proseribe the cise of the velo power, constitutionally exer- e , a8 6 dictatorship, and contrary to the princi- ples of the constitution, is merely a mode adopted to control and overawe the Presideat elect, by the his secret coteries at , Washington and olsewhere, whose sole object in supporting him was the ex- pectation of emoluments of office, and the posses- sion of power, for their own sordid and selfish objects. They will find, however, that General Taylor is a man possessed of a stronger conatitu- tion than that whieh sui Ic .before them into the so'emn silence of the tomb, in the case of General Harrison, Neither is the new man of destiay the weak, flimsy, versatile, ind eilly politician who 18 generally ‘called Captain Tyler, and who will be principally ce'ebrated in history for having slept in his Loota in the same bed with Mc. Botts. The new man belongs to a new age, aad is destined to secure for himself as much popularity and confidenge from the people, as any of the early lents, from George Washington down to John Quincy Adams. Since that period, unfortunately, both the great parties in this country have sunk into the low, mercenary and debasing policy of seeking the promotion of their own personal and selfish ends, instead of following the excmple of their progenitors, and directing their sole objects to the lasting honerand glory of this great republic. The office beggars and trading politicians of the democratic party got the control of General Jackson, and, under the mantle of Yan Buren, these men managed for twelve years to make the goverament of the country subserve their own personal ends, without reference to the interest or advantage of the public at large, A similar set of traffickers, generally called pipe-layers in this State, rose with the administration of General Harrison, and succeeded in breaking down that administration in less than six weeks after its inauguration. This is all done. We have much more to say on these points, and many further developments to make. Important Untra S:avery Movement in Sovrm Carorina.—It will be seen from a report of a meeting held in South Carolina, published in this day’s Heral//, that pretiminary measures have been taken there to organize an ultra slavery party of the South, in opposition to the free soil party of the North. This is the second or third attempt of | the kind that hasbeen rhade in South Caroling with- in the past year, and we shou!d not besurpriged to see it succeed and become a great party, rivalling, and probably exceeding, the free soil party of the North, in point of numbers and influence, unless the Wilmot proviso question be disposed of at the next session of Congress. We therefore see that | ultraism is not confined to the North, but that the | South can lay claim to its possession as well, al- though in another shape. This ridiculous Wilmot proviso question has, we think, been allowed latitude enough, and it 1s full time that it was settled and disposed of for all time to come. Itistime that the general interests of the country were looked to. There is no further use in agitating it any further, and keeping the Union in astate ofexcitement by its discussion, at the North as well as the South, merely to gratify | the taste for notoriety of a few one-idea men in | both sections. The election of General Taylor to the Presideacy, by an overwhelming vote, shows, most conclusively, that the people of the United | States, generally, donot attach as much importance to the subject as is claimed for it by its friends: and this is confirmed by the smallness of the vote which Mr. Van Buren, the free soil candidate for President, received—not exceeding, probably, two | hundred thousand 1m the aggregate, and those con- fined principally to Massachusetts, Ohio and Con- necticut. It isa curious fact, that in some dis- tricts of the last named State, the free soil vote exceeded that thrown for General Taylor and General Cass combined. The question arises, then, how is this ridiculous ‘Wilmot proviso business and free soil agitation to be put down and silenced, so that the interests of the country may be cared for? The answer is piain and simple. Let Congress, as soon after it shall have convened us possible, take up the bills establishing territorial jurisdiction over the newly .acquired territory of New Mexico and Californ' and incorporate in them such a compromise as | regards the extension of slavery, as the South and | all moderate men, of all sections of the country» will be satisfied with. This, and all other geo- graphical and sectional questions, whether of Northern or Southern origin, must be silenced, | discountenanced and put down by the good sense and moderation of the community. It is easy enough to do so, 1f Congress will take the matter | jn hand at once, after convening next month. There 1s no danger, if such a compromise as that to which we have reterred were made, of the free soil party being troublesome afterwards, and our | over-sensitive triends in South Carolina would be appeased and satisfied. Jersey Crry Ferry.—After a silence of more than a year in duration, we perceive that this as- sociation—the ‘Jersey City Ferry Company—have come forv‘ard and renewed their application for a lease of the slip at the foot of Courtlandt street.— They presented their application on Monday even- ing Yast, to our Common Council, and in the ordi- nary routine of business, it was referred to the appropriate committee, to take it into considera- tion, and report ata future meeting of the Common Council. It may not be known to our present corporate authorities, that when this company applied for a renewal of its lease, a-year or two ago, we stre- nuously opposed it, on the ground that the rate of ferriage was too high; that the rent hitherto charged for the use of the slip which they occupy was too low, and that the accommodations which they furmiehed to the public were altogether inade- quate, and were bitterly complained of by the public of Jersey city, as well as that of New York. Since that time the ferriage has been re- duced from six anda quarter to four cents, but the accommodations have not been extended. If the company will agree to run a boat every ten minutes, from each side, during theday, from sun- rise to sunset—if they will agree to run @ boat every fifteen minutes,from sunset to ten o'clock, and one every half hour from thet hour till sun-rise next morning, then, we say, renew their lease at a fair rate, If they will not agree to dothis,we call onthe Commen Council to sell the use of the slip at pub- lie anetion, to the highest bidder who will cove- nant to serve the public in the manner which we have mentioned. We doubt not that the company are of opinion that the agitation and excitement which attended their previous application for a re- newal of their lease, have been forgotten ; but we shall undeceive them 1n that respect, and shall call on the Common Council not to do anything in the matter, other than that we have mentioned, if they do not undertake to give fuller ferry aecommoda, tions than thoge which they are now giving. The ferriage, is, perhaps, low enough, and the boats are good enowgh. Let the company run their boats oftener, and let them have a renewal at a fair price. Would it not be well for the Corporation of Jersey City to confer with the committee of our Common Council, to whom this application was referred, so that the matter may be thoroughly understood be- fore a report is made? (One word to that commit- tee. Be careful of allowing the speculators and monopolists of New Jersey to get alooting in New York, and beware that you do not give them the means of shaving our citizens, as they do the far- mers of New Jersey. Revivan or THE Pirr-iavers.—Lvery politician remembers the pipe-laying clique which floated into power in the great revolution in 1840, and continued in action until it sueceeded in prostrating Gen Ilarrison’s administration, in a few weeks or months after his inauguration, We understand that theee philosophers are busy now, in all direc- tions, and have been laying pipe in all parts of Pennsylvania. We have received information of some which they have laid in certain districts and in a few days we shall have some intelligence | of (heir new movernents, Arrival of Maliard Fillmore, sident Biect, in the ¢ The announcement in the Herald of the immediate arrival of the” Vice- elect of the United States, at the Irvi produced a univereal desire, on the part public, to'kee the man who will occupy the’ ch’ of Vice-President of the Union for the next four years. Throughout yesterday, he was visited by num. bers who heagtély responded to his nominatioa and election; but Was reserved for the evening for a more public and ral developement of the esti- mation in which hes held by the people. About 9 o’clock, a numeroes deputation of the Taylor committee waited upon him, at the Irving House, and were received by him with a dignified» but cordial, acknowledgment of the early honor conferred upon him. The Hon. John A. Collier, also delivered a short but @pwrited address to the committee. The gentleman remained, alter the business of the deputation had ended, walking 1 the lobbies, and receiving, with courtesy and very evident gratitude, the individual respect of those who fol- lowed the deputation. The whole affair sprung up suddenly, and a further demonstration was manifested, by a sere- nade, at twelve oclock. The saf€e committee will call upon Mr. Fill- more thia merning, it is supposed, with a view to tender him an invitation to address the whigs of the city. Casinet Maxina.—There will be some very im- portant cabinet making business during the’ com- ing three or four months, even up to the 4th March; and already the cabinet makers are beginning to appear in various quarters. One of our confreres» a loco foco journal, in its dying gasp, etates that a certain disreputable evening sheet, with more debt and disgrace upon its back than circulation or in- fluence, is the first cabinet maker in the field, and has proposed the following team: — Crittenden. of Kentucky, Secretary of State, Evans, of Mai: Secretary of the lreasury, King, of Georgia. Secretary of tl Bell, of Tennessee. Secretary of War. Granger, of New York. Postmaster General. Choate, of Massachusetts Attorney General, Here, again, our amiable cotemporary 18 a little out in his chronology, and has made as great a mistake as some others have done, who persist in doing so, in relation to the extraordinary man who first nominated General Taylor forthe Presidency. Our own eweet, amiable confrere will have to go before the flood to find the man who did th® firet job in cabinet making. If he will look into the columns of a certain print called the New orl: Herald, issued several weeks before the re- cent flood of popularity which lifted Gen. TayloT into the Presidency, he will find there the principal materials of a new cabinet for the incgming man of the republic. On that occasion we named a probable cabinet; but since then, we have received additional and authentic mtelligence, ‘all the’ way from up the Mississippi, which throws doubt over the exact composition, until some day next week, ornext month, shall determine. The following is considered to present a list of the probable mate- Tials, or “good sticks of wood,” for the new cabi- Bet:— Mr. Crittenden. of Kentucky, Secretary of State. Abbott Lawrence, of Boston, Secretary of the Treasury. J. M. Clayton, of Delaware, do. do. George Evans, of Maine, do. do. Baylie Peyton. of La . Secretary of War or Navy, Thomas Butler hing. of Ga , do, do. Mr. Mangum. of N. C., do do. Tiuemay Smith. of Conn . Postmaster General. Francis Granger, of New York, do. do. Reverdy Johnson, of Maryland, Attorney General. W. Cost Johnson, of do. do, do. These are some materials from which a cabinet may be selected ; but as there are yet four months before the inauguration of the President, conside- rable changes may take place ua disposition and locality. ag We have also heard several intingations for fa- reign Ministers, Charges, Consuls, Collectors, Postmasters, and so forth; but a great many of these, no doubt, are vague and inconclusive. The wood is cut down, but it wants seasoning. The timber is felled, but it wants a little sun and wind. Time will be required for the seasoning of many * sticks of good timber” which have been thrown upin the recent tremendous overthrow carrying General Taylor into the White House. We have heard no particular position assigned to Mr. Web- ster, or Tom Corwin, or John Van Buren. John, according to all appearances, cannot receive the embassy to England for helping General Cass in Olio and Massachusetts, and having done nothing for General Taylor. Tom Corwin and his con. Jreres who opposed the Mexican war, also aided to give Ohio to the democracy, and Mr. Webster pur- sued the same course of action, by which he has nearly dissolved his party in Massachusetts ; and he will have to take the consequences, whatever they may be. ‘Where shail I go 2” is a more im- portant problem with Mr. Webster, in the present moment, than it ever was in all his preceding life. Lavs Dro.—We take great pleasure in assuring our readers, the public at large, and all christen- dom in general, that penny-wise and pound-foolish Cave Johnson, the same individual who hasthrown the Post Office Department of the General Gov- ernment into a state of most admirable confusion, | will cease to be Postmaster General from the 4th of March next. We are certain that our readers at a distance will not repent the change. Who his successor will be, we hear not, and care not; for it is morally certain, that whoever he may be, he will conduct the business of his department in a better manner than our friend and pitcher, Cave, has done. We congratulate the country on the prospect ahead, and ourselves that we shall soon be relieved of the task of compiling the ht-of mail failures, which has figured so conspicuously in our columns for the last three years. We congratulate Cave Johneon too, on his speedy removal froma position which he was not able to fill, and which he reduced to sueh a state of confasion that will take six months of the time of his successor to put to rights. Gave Johnson will Lave leave to retire on the 4th of Mareh, 1849. Again we say, Laus Deo- Wno Stove THE VERNMENT JewELs —We have heard intimations that some information on the above head may be obtained from the man who was recently sent to the State prison in Sing Sing. He is generally known by the name of Webb, with a number of other titles, too numerous to mention. He is said to be one of those philoso- phers who perpetrated the famous forgery upon Jacob Little, and several other bankers of Wall street, some years ago, It is now said around the Tombs, and in the circles of the light fingered gentry, that the Patent Oflice bas been robbed o its valuables by a gang connected with Webb, for the purpose of making a bargain for his liberation from the State prison. nf There 1s certainly a great deal of mystery about the robbery of these jewels at Washington ; and we should not be at all surprised to have to record a number of other robberies in other public offices, which may take place between now and the 4th of March, but which will not be discovered until some weeks or months after the inauguration of the new President. The struggles made by the democracy, and the sums of money spent in Pennsylvania and else- where, have been tremendous. These struggles demand a great deal of electricity to keep them going, ard money, in political aflaira, 1s a great generator of that valuable commodity in philoso” phy. Now, where did the money come from? Money cen only come from places where it is, and where it reposes, We shail not, therefore, at all be surprised to see a vast defalcation discovered in all the depart ments of government, as coon as the new adminis- tration comes into power.

Another Election in Massachusetts. The election’ in Massachusetts for the choice ef Governor, Lieut. Gevernor, ten members to Congress, and members to the State Legislature, took place on Monday, the 13th inst. It résulted in the election of the whig candidates for Governor and Lieut. Governor (probably by the people), of a large whig mapority in the State Legislature, and of six out of tne ten members to Congress. It will be seen that the whig and free soil vote 1s without much change, but that the democratic vote fell off considerably.

A North Garolina paper hus the following :— No uvew in tor Letter C.—A Patnwtion.— We remember that some newspaper writer, some twenty years ago, predicted that no men, whose name be; with C, would ever be President of the United Sti It really seems that there is no luck ia the letter connection with the Presidency.

The curious oracular residential estimate from» French correspondent in the New Orleans Be-, which wo translated and explained in the Hera/d has attracted much attention, and has already been copied from our paper by numerous others in this quarter. The New Orleans Builetin also notices it in this wise, and gives a new problem to be solved by the election :— Tavior anv Cass.--Number each letter of the alph1- bet in its regular order, thus: A No. 1, B No. 2, C No. 8, ete., and then epely. the respective numbers which attach to each letter to those which spell the name « Zachary Taylor,” and ey will sum up 173, and in like manner the letters which form the worde “will be President,’’ will aleo eum up 175. ‘The above statement appeared in the Hee, of Thurs- day, and wi ywadd, that on the same plan, the let- ters which “ Lewis Cass,” make 110, and those which form the words “ will be beaten,’ likewise make 110. The coincidence is curious, and the friends of Gen _ Cass will thus see that even the alphabet has de- cided against him. The balance of aod ried Tn all the: real his doo; werin Fitchburg, at the late elec- tion, was held by the McLean ticket.
