Tne Cabinet Organs—The Game for the Spolls and the Presidency, A cabinet with two or three organs, each grind- ing a different tune, upon a diferent key, cannot | be expected to turn out the most harmonious mus Tenoe, between the several oracles of the munieteria! cliques at Washington, the public are ata logs to guess what is the programme of the administration, and who plays the official instra- ment. With the second advent of the whigs, through the popularity of General Taylor, 1t was thought by the ‘aylonzed section of the party, that the National Intelligencer was too old, too hide- beund, too rigidly encased in those old federal netions of national banks and American sys. tems, too much identified with Clay, Webster, and the amtiquarians, to answer as the organ of the new order of things. lt was intended to pursue the home policy of Monroe—of moderation and good feeling—and yet to keep pace with the progressive enterprising spirit of the age, in the general con- duct of our public affairs. The old organ, travel- ling in the same dull round of exploded abstrac- tions and “obsolete ideas,” since the days of Gen. Jackson, waa, therefore, not the proper medium for this new policy. A new firm was brought for- ward, originally with the intention of building up a Taylor platform, in lieu of the ricketty scaffolding ef the old hunkers. But it has failed. Ithas ee- red the especial patronage of the cabinet; but, stead of prescribing, it has followed the policy which they have pursued. It set out as the organ of General Taylor; it has become, by a sort of ad- vertising contract, the attorney of Thomas Ewing. Tt has received a very liberal allowance of the of- ficial pebulum, and is expecting a good deal more. t it has neither conciliated nor coerced the old hunkers into its support, and has fallen dreadfully short of the expectations of the “young | ’ans.” So far from healing the breach between the two branches of the family, by a bold, vigor- ous and conservative policy—so far from taking the post of th ntral organ, from its com- | manding abilitic has declined to the position | ¢1 a svzerfluous supernumerary. The policy of the old hunkers has undermined the administra- tion, and hes utterly perverted the imtentions and the pledges of the President. Republic 1s, therefore, no longer wanted; the cts of its es- tablishment are defeated, and its legitimate fune- tions are ended. especial favorite of Mr. Clayton, has recovered its place, and the ante-diluvians of the party, its sworn supporters, have the reins of the cabinet policy in their ha " to Until of late, Meesre.

Taylor, in framing a cabinet for ulterior purposes—such a cabinet as the shrewd Kentuckian felt he could manege for his own ends. It is euspected that Mr. Clay does not like this state of things, when coupled with the agency of Mr. Crittenden in the nomination of Gen. Taylor, end that there is a design on foot to dissolve the arrangements of Mr. Crittenden, by dissolving the present cabinet. It is apprehended, on the other hand, that the friends of Mr. Webster, headed by our persevering cotemporary of thé Courier, are a work laying the undergronod basis of a scheme which is to restore Mr. Webeter to the State De- partment. There could be no w fortunate change for Col. Webb. He would be good yet for Berlin, and, perhepe, he may etill count upon his mission Again, it would appear that Judge MeLean still nds for the enecession, in opposition to Crit- den, Clayton, Ewing, and the cabinet as it n ands. It is notorious that Mr. Mangum 1s dis ed with the proseriptive policy of this eabal ; it juet a# notorious that this business, and the te is nepetiom of the cabinet and their subordinates, have disorgenized the party in the country, and divided it in both houses of Congress. mixture et The National Intelligencer, the | And what | is the moral of this confused and perplexing ad- | rignes, blunders, schemes and stra- H tagemst It ehows that the administrative policy is superseded ; that the organ of General Taylor has lost his occupation ; that Mr. Clayton has ad- ministered the spoils to Clay, Webster, and com- pany, with but little prospect of any good resalt; but that the feebleness and malicious proseriptions of the cabinet, on the other hand, have resulted ina design to turn them oxt; and, more than all, that Col. Webb, who was the first to exalt them to the skies, will not stand back in the effort to pull them down. itis, perhaps, the only safe alternative of the President, He has got the means of placing his administration on its original platform, by appoint- ing a new set of advisers—men who afe not over head and ears in base gambling 20trigues for the Presidency, but who are ready in good faith, and capable from their good pelitical charaeters, to do him good service. A cabinet like that would soon atone for past misckiefs, and could afford to send Col. Webb to Verlin. There must be a change, ora reform, of a break down. The elections call for a chawge- ";ROUBLES AMONG THE Democracy—TuHe Pros- pxct.—The hope was entertained, a short time since, that the union between the two factions into which the democratic party had been divided, was eflected, as far, at least, asthe city was concerned, and thet both the hunkers and the barburaers would present a united front at the election which is to take place next month. This was sad intelligence for the whigs, who feared defeat and disaster to their party, in conseqnence of the animosities and hard feelings which prevailedrin their ranks, caused by the ridiculous figure which the cabi- net at Washington have cut, since their ac- cession to power, as well as by the system of nepotism which characterized the disiri- bution of office in the Custom House, and the gross mismanagement of eur municipal affairs by the men now at the head of our city goverament. Day after day the whig organs appealed to the rank | and file to be more united ; and in every article | which appeared on the subject, fear was expressed that the democrats would succeed in sweepmg the city and State. ® Such was the condition of the democratic party, and such would be its position to-day, but for the eflort made by @ parcel of chaps calling themselves the democratic committee in Tammany Hall, to control the barnburners as well as old hunkers. Not satisfied with the fair prospect of the party at the coming election, and the probability of all the old difficulties between i | them being buried and forgotten, those poli- | ticians tock upon themselves to propound some categorical questions to the candidates nominated by the convention, umpudently demanding of them answers, in writing, as to whether or not the com- nuttee aforesaid were the genuine, exclusive, una- dulterated, immaculate, and simon-pure democra- tie general committee, threatening, at the same time, that if no rephes were made, they would be deemed as having answered in the negative. What the object could have been in taking such a course, it is hard to see; but,as might have been expected, the proceeding has produced a great deal of dissatisfaction in the ranks of both sections, and re-opened the animosities which for- metly existed between them. The candidates declined, in writing, responding to thew ques- tions. But thisis not all. The same committee have determined upon not allowing any person who was identified with the free soil move- ment, to speak at the county ratification, to | be held this evening in Tammany Hall. This will give edge to the movement; it will not be peaceably submitted to by the burnburners; and the probability is, that if the hunker com- mittee insist on the course which they have marked out in this respect, there will be a regular old-fashioned explogion within the precincts of the ancient wigwam. With these things before us, it is idle to suppose that a complete union has been effected between the hunkers and barnburners ; and if defeat overtake the party in the next election in this city, the ‘Tam- many Ilall commattee will have to shoulder the blame. As a general thing, the democrats are excellent managers and tacticians, and they | would have succeeded in uniting the party | | thoroughly this fall, but for the policy pursued by the Tammany Hall committee, who apparently went out of their way to disturb the peaceful waters, and re-open the troubles and animosities between the two factions, for the purpose of haviag alittle fun. ‘The probability is that there will be on exciting time in Tammany to-night. Of course the whigs are chuckling over all these things, and | laugh in thei | Axoturn Bunota ano Axormen Burst —At the end of every ten or twelve years, a speculating mania takes possession of a portion of the people of New York, which grows and increases by the r, until finally it bursts, seattering fortunes to winde, and leaving families who were accuse tomed to all the luxuries which wealth can par- chase, in a state of absolute peaury and want.

Semen = Tux Kentrucnxy Convention.—Another letter, which we publish in our paper of to-day, from our special correspondent at Frankfort, Kentucky, will be read with interest. It gives a clear exhibit of the temper and tone of feeling in the Constitutional Convention on the slavery question. Emancipation hasno chance. The great body of the convention are decidedly in favor of the in- stitution of slavery as itis. We commend the ex- tracts of sundry speeches, given in the letter, to the special attention of Massa Greeley, and would ask him how it is that the convention pays so little regard to the Northern popularity-hunting emanci- pation plan of Henry Clay? It would appear that little or nothing has been said about the plan of Mr. Clay. What has become of Mr. Clay? And in the present unenlightened condition of the Ken- tuckiang, would it not be well for the philosopher of the soeial free soil organ to write a series of apostolic letters to them, after the fashion of the letters to the Ohio free-soilers lust fall? Who knows but these letters did a heap of good, after all? and why not repeat the experiment in Ken- tucky? Who so capable of instructing them in the mysteries of free soil, free negroes, and free rent, as our bran bread philanthropist ? But thus we go. The movements and fanatical agitation of the abolitionists have compelled the Seuthern States to a rigid defence of their peculiar system; and all the origimal inclinations of the border slave-holding States toward gradual eman- cipation are arrested. The proceedings in Ken- tucky afford some indication of what will be the temper of the South on the free soil question in the coming Congress. Every thing depends upon that issue. Canapian Arrairs.—According to our latest ad- vices from Canada, we believe it is beyond all doubt that Toronto has been selected as the seat of government, and the vice-regal residence. The | change has, as might be expected, created a great | deal of dissatisfaction 11 Montreal—lately the seat of the colonial government—and will probably in- erease the excitement which has prevailed there for some time past on the’ subject of separation and annexation to the United States. The removal has, no doubt, been made with the view of silencing as much as possible the discontent of the ultra- annexationists in the Upper Province, and the ruse will, in all probability, succeed to a certain extent But white it will have this effect in that portion of Canada, the scheme of separation will gather fresh impetus in Lower Canada. Political matters are evidently drawing to a crisis in her Majesty’s American possessions; and it is not at all unlikely that the Canadas will be knocking at our doors for admission into this Union, before we shall be pre- pared to receive them. The die is east, and itis only a question of time as to striking the final blow. Separation and annexation appear to be the con- trolling topic of conversation and discussion in the press and among all classes and parties in that country ; and the time is near at hand when Enge land can no longer boast that the sun never sets on her extended dominions. Free trade and the pro- gress of intelligence will work greater changes than this before the next quarter of a century rolls over us. Lats rrom Rio Janemo.—By the bark Rouble, Cept. Rowett, we have been placed in possession of advices from Kio, to the 12th ult.

[A true copy of the original } Arxest of Muroxvers 1x Inpiana.—About two years ago, @ stranger, in travelling through the up- per part of Warwick county, traded horses with a man named Powers, aud, alter starting on his way some distance, he was followed through Boon- ville, and down the canal, by Powers and a neigh- bor named Lice, under pretence of having disco- vered that the horse traded tor by Powers was stolen. Powers and Rice returned to Boonviile, in a few hours, with the horse the stranger had rid- den, and his hat, saying that, upon seeing them approaching him, he had abandoned the horse and fled to the woods, leaving his hat in his hurry. The people of the neighvorhood, however, were suspicious of foul play, and quite a large number of them turned out, and searched the woods for the stranger, or hie body, but found aothing to justify their suspicions, except some evidences of a strug gle near that part of the canal indicated by Powers and Rice, a few buttons, apparently tora from a coat, &c.; and thus the matter has rested for two y During the latter part of the last week, some young men, in searching for cattle in the above ‘neighborhood, discovered, in the bed of a swamp, Which, unl the present season, had not been dry for many years, a skeleton answering the description of the missing man, Near it lay the fregments of a woollen coat, which was identified. A coroner's inquest was immediately called, and, upon its verdict, Powers and Rice were arrested. On the next day, the nd Jury found trae bills ¢ for murder in the first degree, ond they were commutted to jail to await their trial. Among other things, it is said that the stranger was seen with a large amount of money. No vestige of this was found near the body.— Evansville la.)

COMMIRCIAL AFFAIRS, MDNEY MARKET. jay, Oct, 286 P, M, The stock markt closed, yesterday, ina very unset~ tled state. Quotatons for government and State stocks were rather firm althe clove, while most of the faneies were weak, and tesiing downward, There was more activity at both bards, yesterday, than we have no- ticed for a long tine; but it will be seen, on reference to the sales, that nost of the transactions were on time, pretty equa divided between sellers’ and buy- ers’ optien, At tle first board, yesterday, there were a dozen shares of deck cffered where there was one bought, and the esh purchases were principally by bears, to deliver ormatured contracts, During the past reek, there have been some curio” operations in Harlem, in the way of buying and ee! Privileges to deliveiand call for certain quantit the stock, within ajertain time, at stipulated | Some of the most d¢ermined bears have been er in there transactiow, for the purpose of suste the market price until they could make all contracts to deliversometime hence, that they wanto i, when they will let tle stock fall by its owa weight. For instance, an operator agrees to give $50 for the privilege of calling fir 500 shares of Harlem old stock, at 51, within 10 days The natural influence of such a transaction upon the mind of the party purehasing the privilege, would be, to induce him to inflate the market value of the swck as much as possible, #0 as to call it in and eell at the advance, On the other hand, & party selling such aprivilege, goes to work and de, presses the stocks as much as possible, so as to bay in at reduced prices, if called upon to fuldi the contract. There privileges are dangerous things to desl in, and itis difficult to get an old operator into any such ar- rangement. When we see some of the shrewdest bears in the street selling such privileges for a mete song, it looks as though they had a perfect control of the mar- ket, and felt great confidence fa the strength of their position, As regards Harlem, all appear #0 anxious to sell, that it has become noeessary to bolster up the mar- ket for a time, in some way, to make sales at anything near prices now current. It would be more dangerous to rell any of the little fancies, such as Morris Canal North American Trust, Canton serip, U. 8. Bank, or Vicksburg, short, to the same extent, as it does not re- quire much capital to carry them, and it would be easy atany time toget upa corner; and then, again, it ismore difficult to tell whether these fancies are really worth anything or not; whereas, it is pretty well knswn that our fancy railroad stocks ere steadily settling down in market value, and as ily depreciating im real value, In the event of the small fancies golag entirely out of sight, the loss caunot amount to much; while the loss on those of greater market value, would, in the event of e! artificial stimulants being removed, be rufpous to most holders The railroad fancies are fine game for the bears, nnd they unhesttatingly sell just as much as they can find purchasers for, From the exposé which has recently beea made, every one who looks closely into their condition, has become ratisfied that there t# no salvation for them--that thore is aa insidious divease eating | into their very vituls, for which there Is no re- medy, They are beyond all human redemption; but the quacks who have charge of them may them @ little longer, and palm them off upon those who are as yet ignorant of the worthlessners of what they parchase, Direstors of our railroad companies, generally, are composed of the class of men who man 1 che bauke of the priagipal of the Uston during the years 1896, 1896, and up to the graud bares up; and if they manage the Toad compauivs as © they did the banks, the probability is that we sbali experience similar re. sults, There is class of menin this aad all other large communities, ready at all times to connect them. nies, provided, of course, they can get into the management, for the purpose of sucking the life blood out of them, for thete indi. vidual benefit.
