THE UNION NOT THE ORGAN—OHARLES O'CONOR A RUFFIAN—MR. GUTHRIE’S FORTHCOMING REPORT. BPPCIAL CORRESPONDENCE OF THE NEW YORK HERALD, Wasninaton, Oct. 27, 1853, _, The Union this morning states that it is not the Presi- dent's organ, nor is be responsible for ita articles. The editor, however, claima to enjoy the President’s friend- ship, and asserts that Gen. Pierce approved of the general course of the paper. We wonder what particular pressure forced the Union's editor to this confession? By the way, in the same article the Cabinet dtgan calls Mr. O'Conor a ruffian. It is stated that Hon. John Y. Maron, Minister to France, and Mr. McLane, Commissioner to China, will sail from New York for Furope in the steamer of the 19th proximo. : The friends of the Secretary of the Treasury assert that he will make himself exceedingly popular with Congress and the country, by cutting down every estimate from his department to the lowest figure, and making a great’ display of economy, Small demagogues generally fall into just such errors; they stippose they can humbug the public in this easy way; but the people of the United States understand that there is a vast diflerence between a watchful care against lavish expenditures and that system of 80 called economy which would curtail the proper developement of the country, and try to carry on a government of twenty-three millions of inhabitants with no greater expenditure thin was required for one- half the population. It will require a better forindation to establish Mr. Guthrie’s claim to be » statesman than the fact of his recommending Congress to curtail neces- sary expenses of the government.

Address of the Democratic State Committee to the Democracy of the State of New York. The act to whieh we solicit your attention, and which we are sure will receive it, has no parallel in the histor of the American government. We allude to the removal, by the present administration, of the Hon. Greene C. Broason from the oftce of Colléctor of the port of New ‘ork. ‘That ensinent jurist and highly res citizen is well known to you, During @ long life he kas held various stations of high dignity and trust, voluntarily bestowed upon im by hs State, or by the’ people, the duties of which he has discharged with such stuglenoss of purpose, and such clear ability, that no man enjoys in a larger de- gree, the pudke esteem and confidence, Politically, ‘he ever been a consistent national democrat. although 8 Judge of our highest court, and their Chief Justice, he could not, with a right appreciation of his poai- tidh, enter the arena of politics as a partisan combatant, his political opinions have been al- ways avowed, always well known, always undoubted. On all the gut ublic questions which divided the demo- cratic and federal, or whig parties—during all the anti- slavery agitations, from the Missouri question, the right of petition, and the Atherton resolutions of 1838, to the free soil and abolition coalition’and its “ Bufulo move- ment’? in 1848—he stood distinctly, as he stands now, against all agitation, and among the unchanged friends of the national democratic pariy. He has, at no time, tarn- ed asige from the direct line of political duty, any more than he has deviated from the path of rectitude, He has not coalesced with fection, or struck hands with the traitorous aesailants of the democratic party, either to enable them to return and control its des:inies, or to mi- nister to his own Jove of power and his persoual aspira- tious. An earnest ‘rioue of the election of General Pierce, and prominent among those who have adhered with fidelity to the national democratic party and its platform, he has not declared the one dis- solved, nor’ the o:her shivered into fragments. Tn short, his political course has been as constant and undeviating as his official and private life have been elevated and irreproachable. Under no administration, State or national, has Judge Bronson been an applicant for office. He retired from the bench before bis period of judicial service had ex- pired, followed by the regrets and the approval and admi- ration of all parties. When Mr. Dickinson declined the appointment of Collector of the port of New York, ten- dered and urged upon bim by Gen. Pierce, Judge Bronson was nominated for the vacancy by the President, and con firmed by the umanimous vote of the Seuate. He had requested his friemds mot to present his nam appointment was wholly unsolicited on his part and nei- ther known or expected by him. If his itation to accept the appointment was at last overcome, it was as much from the assurance that the President greatly de- sived his Acceptance of it, ax from any other consideration. In the discharge of the duties of the Collectorship, all who have had intercourse with the offiee—all that nume: rous class of intelligent citizens engaged in the manifold and extended pursuits which centre there—will attest Judge Bronson’. fidelity to the public interests, his integ piv ane his unquestioned ability. The selection of his subordinates in the Custom House, of every grade, was a task of no ordinary dificulty and embarrassment. ‘Thourands of capable and estimable men, in the city of New York and in many parts of tho State, were presented for places, and an unavoidable discrimination, where all were worthy, was a duty from which he could not be or but from which any public funtionary might well re tobe exempt. Without assuming to’ inquire into every man’s antecedents, or to treat with illiberality even these who ‘had formerly, denounced, assailed and opposed the democratic candidates and ‘repudiated the national platform, but who now professed to have turned to the support of the latter, he to appoint a greater number of national democrats than partisans of the free soil section, believing the prepondar- ating strength of the former in the cities of New York, Brooklyn, and the vicinity, from which it had been usual to select @ large ba nba of the appointments, to be in accordance slike with political and personal justice. But he appointed no man who did not claim to approve the Baltimore platform and the doctrines of the President's inaugural address, Every official act of his was approved, and all his appointments, with a single exception, in which the office was abolished, were confirmed by the Se- cretary of the Treasury, with a kno-#ledge of the details of the former, and the generat complexion of the latter. He has made no appointments since, nor has he taken a a step beyond oze which in no wanner pertained to his official porition, and for which he was not amenable to the federal or any other government, but which, as a citizen of ths State, ania member of the democratic party, it became at once his duty, as it was cleurly his right, to perform. For that act he has been removed from a station to which he was appointed, unsolicited and undesired a few months since, without or justiGeation, and under circumstances as wo ve already said, which have no parallel in the history or any free government. When the cvalition of treo soil partisans and their allies, the dissenters from the national democratic camp, fresh from the scenes of bullyism and convict association at Syracuse, gave public notice of their meeting in the city of New York, to respond to a state ticket formed under an aggregation of such elements and published without authority, Judge Bronson’s name among the xpeakers and friends of such a featornity, he felt it to be hie Cuty to displaim the association, and to place himsett unequivocally where he has ever stood—among the friends of order and the national democracy of the State and the Union, He did so in no measured phrase or hesita ting manner. He did it with the manliness and repub- lican dixectness by which his life has been distinguished. This act, belonging exclwively to our State politics, and necestarily comirg within his own action as a citizen of the State and a member of the democratic party here, which has ever supported the national democracy of the Union, was the signal for an assault upon him by the free faction here and their allies at Washington, accom- panied by such unusual rescripts from official quarters as may bo eupposed to precede ihe climax of a foregone con- clusion. It was obvious that if a resiguatton could not be forced by insult, removal was to follow under any pretext which the coslition could devise. In a letter remarkable only for its absence of all the qualities which are sup- posed to characterize the productions of men whom chance or merit have placed in high stations, he was informed by the Secretary of the Treasury that he had taken office under a pledge to distri- bute his sppointments among different sections of the the democratic party, meaning the national democrats on the one hand, an2 the free soil faction and their allies on the other; that the free soil section had not been allowed their due’ proportion; and that hereafter the Collector would be expected to conform his action to this golden rule of treasury distribution, in accordance with te Bal- timore platform and the President's inaugural address— a pledge altogether ideal, and about which not one word had ever been said to the Collector, and a rule, the exist ence of which no one has had the penetration to discover in the national platform or the inaugural address. It il not be thought singular, now that the partios are known, that this rescript was followed the nest day by another, directing the Colleceor to submit, for the approval of the Secro‘ary of the Trea: sury, the names of all clerks proposed to be ewployed in the public stores and in the bonded warebouse—a requirement beyond the jurisdiction of the Treasury Department, in derogation of the law whica veets such appointments in the Collector alone, never be fore made by any member of any Cabinet, and ‘defensible only on the tyrant plea, that usurpation is essential to the designs of power. And both were addressed, not as a general cirevlar, to direct the action by a ‘common rule of all the local officers of the goverament in the city of New York and elsewhere, but oxclusively and invidiovs'y to the Collector of the port of New York, and intended for his special edidcation and instruction. To these remarkuble exhibitions of the temper and manner in which @ high officer of the government a sumed to step into the arena of our State politics, to de cide between its sections, to dispose of’ ques- tnd shallow pretext, invented to cover up snd coneeal the real motive, which he dared neither to avow nor to justify. Look at the facts. Judge Bronson was appointed on the first of May. Inthe month of June be sent to the Secetary {or confirmation, his first list of sppoint- Tents, end in less than one week they were unanimously coufirmed. In the month of August he sent his second and last list, and they also, within one week, were re- turned confirmed, with the single exception of the office which was abolished. Intermediate these two periods, and subsequent to the last, Judge B. was several times at Washington, and Mr. Gotivie was at_New York on the the government. Judge Bronson, on these occasions, saw the President mtd Secretary several times, and not ‘one word of dissent or disapprobation was ever expressed or hinted at by either of those functionaries, upon the appointments Se had made, He has made nono since. On the 13th September a Democratic State Con- vention was called racuse for the single purpose of nominating State officers for the ensuing election, Tho Convention separated into two divisions, each pomi- nating a separate ticket. Ata meeting called in the city of New York, on the 224 September, to ratify one of them, Judge Bronson was invited to ‘attend, but declined, stating that he could rot support a ticket nominated by a convention controlled by bullies, and composed of mem hostile to the enlargement of the canals. On the 9th Oc- tober, within a fortnight after his letter, but nearly two- months after all Judge Bronson’s appointments had been confirmed, Mr. Guthrie writes his coarse and vulgar letter, complaining for the first time that the Collector's appoint: ments had not been fairly taken fram the two sections of the democratic party, and following it upon the suc- ceiling day with another letter, illega ty requiring all fu. ture appointments of clerks to be sent for his eonfirma- tion, Why were these insulting letierx written? Were they written for the reason assigned on their face? It could not be, because ail the appointments had been con- firmed nearly two months before, and none had besn made since. They were written because the Cabinet had deter- mined to interfere in the local politics of this State, to carry out the views and policy of Gov. Maroy, to espouse the ticket which Bronson spurned and Marcy approved, te bring the whole power of the general government to its support, and to crush, if the opposing ticket and all who’ maintained it. ng as Judge Bronson re- mained at the head of the Custom House, and possessed the sole power of initiating to federal patronage, they knew that any attempt to’ mould him to their purposes would b> fruitless, and that without him “the spoils” would be powerless’ either to intimidate or seduce, He must therefore be remored, They wanted his office. The real motive could not be sssigned with safety, nor within even their notions of decency. Hence these ‘letters, rude in manner, and insulting in terms, were written to provoke a resignation. This failing, they rere driven toa forced removal, and compelled to| Assign for cause the false, fraudulent’ and shallow pretext we have thus exposed. Jets well known that the removal of Judge Bronson, was demunded by the free seil leaders as» condition on which they would take the field, in active support: of their own ticket. ‘They demanded’ that the Cabinet at Washing- ton should idectify thomselves distinctly with their cause, and by an act unprecedented in the his- tory ‘of our State polities, or the politics of the nation, should signalize their affiliation with them and furnish official aliment to feed and garrison and sti- mulste the hungry and malignant politicians who aim at supreme control in the State and national goveraments, and unlicensed dominion over the “spoila”’ of both. It ia a part of the compact that their speakers and coloorters shall perambulate the State, renewing their assaults upon democrats who were the stay and support of pro- femed principles of the present administration, whon er calumniators were leagued with whigs and’ aboli- tionists in defiant hostility to those principles at Balti- more, at Herkimer and at Baifulo; and you may look for these incursions into your cities, ‘counties and all your localities. From this moment till the closing of tue polls onthe 8th of November, will the unterrified aud un- changed democracy of the State be called to encounter their old free soil antagonists, with their armed and con- viet forces, and to encounter them as the re-organized auxiliaries of power. The doctrine of State rights, and the maintenance of the constitutional guarantees on which it rests, has ever been a cardinal principle of the national democratic party. Toit tl lemocracy of this State have unalterably ad- hered. They will adhere to it now. And when any ad. ministration of the federsl government shall attempt to contrel the internal affairs of the democratic party of a State, to direct its organisation, to decide between con- flicting claims to regularity, to remove uniform and capa- ble democrats, because, in the exercise of the great right of opinion, they adhere to their past associations, and to the sound national principles which have guided all their course of political life—to amcourage and stimulate the free soil faction, and the full power of violence, by thro ing into the contest the active interference of ths local feceral officers, they will be found as prompt and fi:m to resist such dictation, whether it sgsume the aspect of menace or appliance, as they are ever ready to reougntse the claims of a jast, liberal, non-interfering administra tion, to their allegiance, approval, and support. Nor do we believe that they will be deceived by th» selection of late national democrats, or qeoudam friend + of Gen. Cass, who now affiliate with their former fre soil assailants, to fill the places of proscribed democrat who have always adhered to the nati faith, Whe the doctrine sections, which the Secretary of th Treasury insists upon recoguizing in a distinctive form, and the distribution of the federal offices between them, means the elevation of the free soil leaders and the sum- mary ejection cf high-minded ratioval democrats trom their cilivial xtytions, unless they consent to be subservient in the most abject sense to the demands of the eoalition, they will neither be misted by deco # nor seduced by names into conjunctions formed for the purposes of a common brotherhood of interest and ambition—for per- sonal aggrendizement, the spoils of office, and the pos- session of power. It seems to be a prevalent notion with the present Cabinet, that the spoils of office are the only princip for which men contend; and acting upon it, they in gine that the promise or destowal of office, or a menaci removal, is sufficient to secure the ‘‘harmonious’’ alle- giance of everybody. We are very sure that your action in this contest will dispel this delusiou, and convince all who corceive that the patronage of power constitutes its chief relinnce and effective strength, is a low and false eetimate of the character of the American people. In the manner of the removal of Judge Bronson, the motives which have led to it, the false pretences under which its authors seek to disguise it, and the perversion of the power of the government by which they h: pe to maintain it, the people of this country cannot fail to see the germ of a despotism which, unless checked and re- buked at the outset, will subvert all the substance, even if the form be 1 tained, of the liberty under which we live. While we fully subscribe now, as we have done at all timer, to the principles of the Baltimore platform and the’ inaugural address, yet when we witness their perversion to the uses of faction and the de- signs of ambitious members of the Cabinet—whren all independence - of action -in relation to questions ef State policy and our local politics are denied, and the exercise of our common right as citizens of the State and the republic treated with insult and punished with summary ejection from office—when an eminent democrat, who is known to entertain and act upon the avowed principles which brought the present administration into power—a deyocrat of unsul- Lied purity, and an elevated and distinguished ability that strongly contrast with the littleness and obscurity of the functionary who is made the organ of his dismissal —becomes, undei such circumstances, a victim of pro- scription, every good citizen, whatever may have been his past political associations, will feel it an incumbent duty to arrest this evil in the bud, and to rebuke its authors with an emphasis that shall prevent it from tak- ing root and gaining ascendancy in this republic. They will see that the only mode by which this act of patriotism and duty car be effectually performed is to frustrate the ob- ject for which these acts of insult and despotism were con- cocted, and to support, by a strong and decisive vote, the Clinton and Canal ticket, Every vote for this ticket contributes directly to such a result. Every telligent citizen, ‘acting from his own convictions of right and the highest obligations of duty, unawed by tions of regularity between conflicting organi- wtions, to manifest proference and superiority for the free soil section, and to cosrce subd- mission by imtimating whence came the tenure of office, or compel retirement by offensive and unwar- rantable exactions," Judge Bronson replied in a letter dis tinguished by its ealm refutation of the assumptions of his official superior, and by its perfect vindication of the course of the Collector, ‘as a public officer, and as a pational democrat, without an oflensive word; but with a dispassionate dignity and cogency that carried conviction to every just mind that its facts were conclusive, and its ressoning unanswerable. ‘The pub§shed rejoinder of the Secretary of the Treasu: is not less remarkable as a production, nor less extraordl- pary in ite assumptions, than its predecessor. In both re- speets it is utterly unworthy of a Cabinet officer of any government, much less one supposed to rest upon the in- telligence of the people. as the organ of the administra- tion, that functionary announces the dismiseal of Ju Bronson for “insubordination” in deolining to. comply with arbitrary exactions, imposed without authority of law and in conflict with all the past actions of the govern. ment, and “condemns him,’” to adopt the lan uage of the Secretary, ‘* for having selected free soilers without giving me notice of the fact, which would have enabled me to withhold my approbation from such sppolat- ments!’’ It is dificalt conceive of anything in the descending scale of pettifogging, lower than this. The Secretary of the Treasury wag the first to allude to aec- tions in the democratic party, and complained that the Coileetrr bad not done justice to that one of them which every body understamds to mean the free soil section. Now, the Seeretary condemns him for having made ap- ointments in any instance from that section, or, a4 that ‘unctionary chooses te denominate them, ‘free soilers.’’ Judge Bronson nowhere makes use of the word ‘ free oilers,” but following out the Secretary’s idea of sec- tions, he alluded to the democratic and free soil sections as illustrative of the manner in which he had distributed his P oper tween each. That he has appointed to office suddenly-converted’ pretenders to an approval of the Baltimore platform, but unchanged free soil partizans in fact, we do not doubt; but they are precisely such free soil officials as flourish “by authority” at the head of the New York Surveyorship and Post Office—such as fill & large majority of the t State—s recisely, as the present Cabinet be appointed in still greater proportion, and such as con- stitute the great body of the faction who offer the tic! for Liteny Bad support which this high-handed act But let us, cal your, attention to the motive for this un] whic! now coverin; with, Vawalltation’ for the ‘conduct of the threats cf power. the ailurements of station, or the rewards of office, will so understand this important issue, and act in the approaching canvass as becomes bis inde- pendence, his honor, and a true estimate of his political and civil rights. We confidently leave the result in their hands. DEMOCRATIC STATE COMMITTEE. FIRST SISTRICT. HIFTIT DISTRICT. Auguetus Schell, Squire Utley, R. T. Mulligan, 1. P. Saunders, Jobn B Hrskin. Joba Ruger.

SENTIMENTS OF THE PEOPLE—-RESOLUTIONS OF THE COMMITTER ON BRONSON’S REMOVAL. ‘A meeting of the Demoeratic Republican General Com- mittee was held last evening at the Stuyvesant Institute, to hear the report of the committee appointed to draft suitable resolutions, expressive of the indignant sense of the national demoerats in regard to the removal of Judge Bronson, in consequence of his refusal to become the tool of Van Buren, Marcy, and company.

OUR SAN FRANCISCO CORRESPONDENOR. Say Francisco, Oct. 1, 1868, The principal topic of news here just at present, al- though it is earcely mentioned in the papers, is the pre» jected expedition to Sonora, That an expedition has ale ready been organized, for the purpose of taking forcible possession of the State of Sonora, there can be no doubt. The leaders of the expedition are William Walker, former- ly connected with the San Franciseo Herald, and Col. J. Watkins of this city. Walker will go with the advance party, snd Watkins will"follow as soon as their arrival ie heard of, witha larger force, About two hundred mew have been already recruited, and will leave here with: Walker in the course of the next fortnight. They purpose ing by #ea, and, sailing up the gulf of California, imten@ finding somewhere in the neighborhood of Guaymas. The leaders of the party say that there are but two ham- dred troops in the State of Sonora, and that it will be about ninety days before any reinforcement can be sent by Santa Anna. ‘The leaders of the expedition here have drafted a constitution for the “Republic of Sonora,” and have already issued bonds, made payable upon annexa- tion to the United States. Considerable money has already been raised, and there is no doubt that the expedition willrnil, The United States Minister in Mexico has re- quested the authorities here to keep a sharp look out, but the probability ix that the authorities will not med- flle in the matter. Most of the leaders in this are Southern men, and it is the design to make Sonora @ slave territory.’ The ostensible object of the expedition ia to drive the Indians from the mining region of Sonora.
