The hunkers and barnburners are not yet thoroughly reconciled; but the prospect 1s, that before the day of election comes around, all their difficulties will be settled, and they will present a united front to their opponents. The whigs, too, are split and divided, but it is very doubtful if they will succeed in becoming united at all; and, in addition to this, they labor under the disadvantages of having been tried in the balance and found wanting—of having been entrusted, by a confiding people, with power, and having abused that power most unwarrantably and atrociously, and of having deceived those who conferred it upox them. If there is proof needed of the atter disregard ‘of the wants und wishes of the people exhibited by the whigs in power—of their omplete defiance of the opinions and desires of their constituents—it is only necessary to direct atention to the manner in which the offices in the gift of the central power at Washington have, ander the direction of the cabinet, been distributed. Such gross mismanage- ament—such unabeshed defiance of the wishes of the whig party—che bone and sinew of the party— auch disgraceful nepotism, never before was ex- hibited by the leaders of any party, or by any cabinet. Look at our foreign relations, too—the manner ia which they have been bungled and mis- managed. But why go out of the city for evidence of whig mismanagement? Have not the whig Cor- poration of this city abundantly proved themselves incapable of exercising power, during the past year? Not content with being more extravagant than any of their predecessors, they are about to increase our taxes, by saddling the city with the expense of enlarging the Battery, to the tune of a million of dollars, or more, when such enlarge- ‘ment is entirely uncalled tor and unnecessary, and when our tax-paying citizens are, as it is, groaning under the impositions laid upon them. A more atrocious waste of public moneys never was perpe- trated by any party; and no party ever exhibited such perfect disregard of political principle or morality, than the whigs, now in power in this city, have done in this case. The first urgent ae- ecssity is, the necessity of reform. It is not to be expected from the faithless oligarchy now in power, and need not be, if we can judge by their past government of the municipal affairs of this city. But, expending the people's money in that y, 18 only in keeping with all their other acts since they came into power. When we take all those things inte considera- tion, the conclusion to which we arrive is, that defeat, inevitable defeat, awaits the whig party at the election in this State. them from the just judgment of an injured and de- ceived people. Movemevrs in tHe Custom Hovsr.—We ander- stand that some curious movements have been going on for some time past in the New York Cus- tom House, that have caused a great deal of re- mark within the walle of that clawsie building, in Mr. Maxwell's private office, and among the whig poli- ticians outside. The subject 18 connected with re- movals and appointments, and cannot but increase the bickerings, discontent, and jealousies which have been gathering for some time past. It appears that a great number of active young men, who worked hard during the last Presidential canvass to secure the election of General Taylor, applied tor office in the custom house, and were backed by such testimonials as could not be overlookgd, tes- tafying to their fitness to perform the duties of that establishment, as well ae to the claims which they possessed onthe Collector in the ribation of office. The Collecter, it appears, pocketed the documents, and made extensive promises, which have not been fulfilled, and in all likelihood never will be. To such conclusion, at all events, have the applicants themselves arrived; for we believe that they have demanded the return of their docu- ments; and cuch of them as succeeded in getting them back ais busily engaged in exhibiting them to their political tmnds throughout the city, with the view fof proving the ater disregard which is evinced towarde the working «higs As goon as the Collector was informed of ‘what we« going on, he refused to deliver any more of the p: sand thie bas tended to increase the discontent and dis satisfaction to a greater extent still, What the up shot of the matter will be, it is hard to tell, Mr. Maxwell says he will make no more changes tll after the election ; and the numerous applicants as- ert, that he is or ly trifling with them, and intends to send therm oll adrift as soon as their votes shall have been secured inthe coming election, This is the condition of things at present, and if they go on as they have been fer some time past, the tom house will be a nice ketile of fich before Tur Pactric Ranmoad anv tue Par A National Convention, in bebalf of « railroad to the Pacific, met at 8t. Louis on the 1th instant, at which Col. Beaton took a disti shed part, ia favor of hie grand plan, presented ia the form of a bill, in the Senate, at the laet cession. The Mem- phie Convention met on the 23d, at which the opi- nions and plan of Mr. Calhoun ate expected to be presented. Ona former occasion, he refrained from any opinion on the subject, until it was aseertained whether the South were to participate in the bene- fite of the work, or not. Meantime, Mr. Senator yENC Douglas, although he has “a mighty slim chance | of legs,” is the leader at sundry meetings in Mli- nois, on the same grand idea of a railroad over to | California, and strikes out an intermediate route between that of the Memphis Convention, which may be called Calhoun’s Southern route, and that of the St. Louis people, or Benton’s central route Each of these men has his chances for the White House, in 1852. We must have the com- munication, and every candidate for the next Pre- | sidency must be prepared to define his route forthe — Pacific railrond—otherwise he will be routed. In view of the ease, it would be well for “old ~ff to oo Ne route Ha i Con- or may be compe! t tween Linton and Calhoun. i aaies 4 a Saltpetre can’t save | Tux Tarivy, tue Sus Treasury, anv Fars Banuina.—Mr. Meredith is said to be industri- ously engaged in the composition of @ voluminous report, to be presented to Congress at the opening ot the coming session. The leading object of this report will be to make out @ case in reply to the revenue system of Robert J. Walker, and all his able arguments in support of the bill of ’46. To give all possible strength to his appeal in favor of the act of °42, or some such scheme, with its speci- fice, minimums, and home valuations, Mr. Mere- dith is collecting from his collectors and revenue officers, from all parts of the Union, the necessary estimates and tables of the results of the bill of 46. It will be easy to show that a tariff of seventy- feven per cent upon iron gives more protection to the Pennsylvania manufacturer than the duty of thirty per cent; but the main point of cheapening the article to the consumer will be more difficult toestablish. Itis probable that the President, in his message, will recommend the attention of Con- gress to the report of his Secretary, and he may advise some modifications in favor of home pro- tection; but from the confused composition of the House, and the decided democratic complexion, of the Senate, there is very little prospect that any material changes of the act of ’46 will be made the ensuing session. The Sub Treasury, a machine too cumbrous, ‘and too little mixed up with banks loans, and ad- vances of bank paper, on cotton speculations, to be satisfactory to our financiers of Wall street, (always including the model edicor of the Courier), it will still be more difficult to disturb. Mr. Mere- dith, it is expected, will not suggest any revolu- tionary amendments, unless the wire-workers of Mr. Clingman’s scheme of free banking, should consent to inveigle hin into their plans. We sus- pect, therefore, that the Secretary of the Treasury will ebstain from urging any material modifica- tions of the present financial system, as inexpedient at this time, especially when the paramount ques- tion to him, of mereased protection to iron and coal, is of itself so exceedingly doubtful ia Con- gress. The prime movers of the scheme of free bank- ing are shrewd men. They will hardly trust the measure directly to the fortunes of the present ca- binet. They will first wait to learn what is the President’s home policy, as yet to be developed in his message; they will first pause to see what is to be done with this cabinet itself, which drags hike a dead weight upon the administration and the party. The old financiers of the United States | Bank have learned something from experience. ‘They are distrustful of the weakness of the present cabinet, and some of the keenest of them think it cannot possibly hold together till new year’s day. It is even suspected that the ** Webster letters” in the Courter, are in connection with a design upon the State Department. We shall see. Meantime, the composition of the coming Con- gress is decidedly unfavorable to the policy of the cabinet, at home and abroad. It has acquired the bad odor of a weak, a very weak and imbecile ca- binet, and a change or a breuk down is justas evident as the necessity of reform. But bad as is the aspect of things to the adminuwtration, General ‘Taylor may yet redeem it, and make it popular and brilliant, by dismissing the huckstering party hacks that surround him, and calling to his as- sistence men of energy, tact, and progress. Forward is the word. ‘To go backward to the good old times of John Adams, is to break down. Tue Unirep Srates anp Nicanagua.—Accord- ing to all accounts, Mr. Bulwer, the newly appoint. ed Minister from England to the Uaited States, will arrive in this country in the steamer which is now due at Boston. The cabmet should loose no time in laying before him, as soon after his arrival as possible, the Nicaragua question in all its bear- ings, and support Mr. Squier, the American Minis- ter to Nicaragua, in the ground which he has taken in relation to the claims of the British to the Mos- quito territory. Now is the time for the United on to take a propor stand in thio matter. We have blustered long enough about our determina. tion to resist any European intervention in the affairs of this continent; and now Mr. Clay- | ton has an opportunity, if he has moral cou- rage to avail himself of 1t, to carry it into practice. | The doctrine itself may be an abstract one, as is contended by some ;but when it has been maintain- ed since the Presidency of Mr. Monroe, and whea | | the nghts of American citizens are threatened by a foreign power, as in the present matter, it should | be promptly vindicated, at every hazard. This is no ordinary case. The republic of Nicaragua | granted to American citizens certain privileges of | avery umpertant character. To subserve its own | purposes Great Britain has set up a monarchy an Indian and performing the farce of crowaiag him king, sets upa monarchy within the dominion of arepubhe, and guaranties to his breechless majes- ty the integrity of hie kingdom against Nicaragua, to whom it nghtfully belongs. That power, after having gone #0 far, coolly informs the American | citizens that the privileges granted to them by 3 | caregua conflict with the rights of lus nw | majesty, which rights it has guarantied; and | therefore they will not be allowed. Now the | question arises—shall Great Britain's pretensions | be tolerated, or shall the rights of American citi- ! zens, solemnly granted, be upheld? Nicaragua is too weak to cope with England, or to successfully her pretensions; and k ing this, the An ricon Minister to that repw that the United States will not tolerate any inva- sicn of the rights of its citizens in the matter. Mr. Clayton has certainly exhibited a vast amount of imbecility and weakness in his me negement of our fore, | a member of the cabinet of General Taylor; but if | hetake the proper course in this basmess, he may do something to wipe away the stigma which he has brought on himeelf by his blundering oa other occasions. We shall ree wh will do, or what he will omt to do, in this Nicaraguan business. From Havana.—We are in recespt of fillesof the Gueeta, to the Mth mstant, brought by ¢ Norma, Captain Ellis.
