All we have to say is, that its author is properly located among the odds and ends of -faction composiug the present Cabinet at Washington.

Col. Thompson, of Indiana, characterised the speech of Cushing ns a regular auction sale of government patronage. "The gentleman from Massachusetts," said he, "came out boldly and openly with his proposition. He put the Ad ministration up to the highest bidder, and played the auctioneer with considerable skill and ability. "Going, going," said the gentleman, "can't I get a higher bid?" Laughter, and cries of "a postponed sale." According to Mr.

Barstow, Cushing is at his old trade of auctioneering for Pierce in the Free-Soil market. friend and correspondent, Dix, in the State of Georgia, he would be shrewdly suspected of abolition affinities, or, at any rate, of being trongly tinctured with freesotlism. But Mr. Dtx has been appointed to a high office by Gen. Pierce, which, of course, is sufficient to sat-fy all faithful locofocos of his soundness on the subject of slavery.

Let the reader bear in mind that Mr. Dix reiterates these views in his letter to Dr. Garvjn. He stands now, as he stood in 1843, on the Freesoil Buffalo Platform, and yet he is the favorite of General Puree and the locofoco party, has elbowed Dickinson out the fellowship of the Administration, and will yet, possibly, be sent Minister to France. "What else could be expected from an Administration composed of Northern freesoilers and Southern disunionists THE ATfORNEY GENERAL THE AUCTIONEER.

Gen. Pierce, having exhausted the available resources of Barnburnerism and Disunion in the formation of his Cabinet, gave a fitting capstone to the pyramid by the appointment of Caleb Cushing, a "Tylerised Whig," (though not from Portugal.) to the Attorney Generalship. Mr. Cushing is a man of learning and talents, andwith the exception of Marcy is perhaps the ablest'man in the present pie-bald Cabinet. He commenced his career as a Massachusetts Whig, and at one time avowed strong anti-slavery sen timents.

Editor Prof. Mitchell says that I have given a false account of the Chatham coal-field. I will not be unfair to Prof M. I do not pretend that he intends to call in question the accuracy of 'toy dietails, respecting the outcrop of the coal their dip, strike, thickness, the relations of the Btrata to each other, or their succession, thefossils, theirindication.etc; but that my assumption, that the coal seams extended three miles within the rim of the coal-field, is false. What I stated in my report of the extent of the seams, is a belief, and that belief is founded upon observation and experience.

All our knowledge. in mining is founded really upon observation. Veins, carrying 'meials, are known to extend into the solid rocks 1,900 to 2,000 feet. In England and South America, mines have been worked to a dopth of 1,500 to 1,900 feet, and jet not exhausted. Now, money is freely invested in mines, and invested on the belief that they penetrate to great depths.

The belief is founded upon what has been and what is. Any person, to be sure, might say of any vein currying lead or copper, which was exposed only at the surface, that an investment is not warranted, because the vein in question mar not extend to a sufficient depth to furnish the amount of material necessary to make it profi- table. iwi can see now deep it and therefore know nothing about it. In such cases we appeal to experience hat do we find, the wonu out, wiui to me uepiu veins i -r i i nrisweri such an uniformity has been ob- served with respect to them, that wc are put i i i i- i'i possession ol a rule, which, when applied 1 1 1 1 J' ciously, or agreeably to known iacts, makes 11 1 .1 investments sate cases, or thev may be regarded as unsafe in the absence of certain facts. A knowledge of these facts and rules, I might Ray laws, makes the difference betwen the opinion of a well-informed teoloist and tha individual who has no knowledge of ihe I But, iMitehel! is anxious that the poople of Fayetteville should not make themselves ridiculous to their neighbors, by building a Railroad to: Peep River.

Let us see how much danger there is of their being ridiculed in the execution tf tlie project. Suppose, then, a company owns 1000 acres, whieh is underlaid with the present six or seven foot coal seam. The company would possess upon the tract tmis of coal. The calculations which have been made of all the expenses of mining and transportation to New Yirrk, leave a nett protit of one dollar per toti. Upon this basis, the company could afford to build the railroad to Fayettev ille.

Professor Mitchell will not, of course, deny that, in his belief. there is one thousand acres of dial, for he has taught hi classes, for many years, the doctrine, that there is a valuable coal-field in Chatham I will make another supposition. Suppose the coal seams extend twenty miles alon-j the out- i i i .1 crop, and hah a mile within the outcrop or I I w.noh eqtlll t0 tlie part of ah.lft tern square mites of coal. In a sou ire t'cru C.27;004j tons rif coal in ten square miles 02,720,000. But the dip of the Riehni'ind seams is much steeper than that of Chatham, and yet coal is obtained by shafts sunk at one half a mile from the outcrop.

Can the foregoing supposition convey a falsehood to the Legislature or to a company, of the value of the Chatham coal field Can the enterprising people of Fayetteville say hereafter that my account of the Chatham coal-field was false, in the face of existing facts? The Richmond coal-fieid, with all its disadvantages, is worked successfully half a mile from its out- the interests of tho interior counties demand this! But I will leave other sources of revenue from the calculation and sav- it, without fear of ridicule oit my part, for sustaining this view, or of being charged with making false representations by the public, or by sensiblo men, I tltsn build this road onihe merits of tiit coal juUl Now, by changing the supposition, that the coal-field extends only half a mile within tho outcrort, I do not change my views, or my belief, that it extends three. It a company or an individual, however, thinks my belief too great, he may take up with a mile, or a quarter of a mile, in breadth, and twenty miles in length. For the present, either is sufficient to warrant the investment of all the capital which has as yet been thought of. If the Legislature expected of the geologist an exact statement, to a foot, of the amount of coal in the Chatham coal-field, it would have said so, and have also furnished the means for doing it. What the Legislature expected, and what sensible men expect, is, that I should first acquire the facts which are peculiar to this coal-field, and from these facts express such an opinion of them, and furnish such illustrations of those facts, as I deem proper, or such as will furnish a correct view of the relations of the mass com posing the coal-field.

It is well to remember, that the Richmond coal-field, which has furnished a coal seam one-half a mile within the outcrop, shows, at that distance, no signs of giving out. Before I close, I wish to allude oneo mors to Prof. Mitchell's class teaching. He says he has taught for years that there is a valuable coal-field in Chatham and Moore. I wish to know on what that doctrine is based.

What does the Professor mean by valuable There can be no doubt that he means that the coal field has a sufficient amount of coal to make it valuable for commercial purposes, and that it is valuable, in the face of all the difficulties and expenses attending its conveyance to market. How did the Professor arrive at such a conclusion What facts hnd he ascertained which would warrant it It must have been a deliberate opinion, formed in view of certain facts. It appears from his statement that his views realiy do not differ much in this respect from others. They are not quite so glowing, so full of promise, yet they are still sufficiently so to warrant the heavy expenses of mining and transportation to market, and leave a surplus over and above all these for the remuneration of enterprise or else he could not have thought the coal-field valuable. Now, how came the Professor to teach his classes the doctrine for it seems that he held it prior to the visits of Professor Johnson, Mr.

Williams and others, and, indeed, prior to any important discoveries which have resulted from the sinking of pits and of boring. Now, there is no doubt Prof. Mitchell came to the conclusion, that there is valuable deposit of coal in Moore and Chatham, from the character of the formation, and that it was formed on grounds independent of what the pick, tpads and auger had furnished or disclosed. .1 i EBENEZER EMMONS. 9, 1853.

The following is the letter of Mr.

Guthrie to Mr. Bronson WasniNOTox, Oct. 3, 18o3. DurSir: Since the conversation we had upon the sulijeet of the unfortunate division in the democratic party in New York, I feel more and more convinced that the prerent disorganization cannot fail to endang'T the succ of the principles of the party there, and prove injurious elsewhere. But the separation is effected.

A conviction has forced itself on my mind, that by democrats pledged to each other on a common platform of principles, the division could and ought to have been prevented. You are aware, that the principles of the Baltimore Convention, and the policy intimated in the inaugural "ddress. the President and his constitutional advisers stand pledged to before the world. They have been and are united as fue man upon these principles and that policy, and had reason to believe that all gentlemen who conented to accept office under the administration stood pledged to the same principles and policy. As the President understands the principle avowed as the p'atform of the party at Baltimore, all democrats who joined in upholding a id carrying out the same were entitled to be recognized as worthy of the confidence of the united party, and consequently eligible to official station.

That all could not obtain office was manifest, and that the distribution could not be equal amongst the different sections of the pt-rty, was equally certain, let tne msiriou-tion was intended to be so mad? as to give jus: cause of complaint to no one section, and it i believed that this intention ha9 been carried out, not only by the President but by most of hU appointees, in respoct to the officers under the latter. It ha- sohappenedthatyourappointmentshave been very generally marie from that portion of the party to whieh you adiiere. This you thought best calculated to secure union and harmony. That desirable object has failed to be obtained, and the other portion of the party feel that they have not been fully recognized by you, and, as things now stand, may not do justice to your motives. 1 call your attention to this subject, and to the fact that the Preoidont and hi Cabinet, with entire unanimity, recognized tiiat portion of the party democrats distinctly avowing and firmly maintaining, the principles of the Baltimore Piatform, and entitled to he recognized by appointment to official stationxin vour department.

Allow me to exprsss the ex pectation that you will so recognize them in the only way that will carry conviction with it. I have not hitherto deemed it necessary to make any particular inquiry as to the section of the democratic party to which persons nominated for positions in the custom house at New York belonged prior to tho reunion of the party in 1849 which reunion was supposed to have been thoroughly cemented in the" great and triumphant contest in 1852. But a the present excited state of feeling among political friends, who acted together in 1852, and who now stand unequivocally upon the same platform of principles in New York, is suggestive of a discrimination of which the administration will not approve, I shall send a copy of this Utter to the Naval Offieer and the Surveyor of the Poit, in order that there may be no misapprehension as to the policy which the President will require to be pursued. I am, very respectfully, JAMES GUTHRIE. G.

Cushing with being a Coalitionist that is to say, a semi- freesoiler and that besiJea aiding and abetting i in the election of Senator Sumner, he has uni formly procured the appointment of Free Soil-ers to office by the present Administration.

Mr. Barstow mentions a number of instances of this kind, which we have not now time to advert to Oar object at present is to give a chapter in the career of Mr. Cushing, when be figured in Tyler's Corporal's guard. Up to the defection of Tyler from the Whig ranks, Mr. C.

had uniformly co-operated with the Whig party. In company with half a dozen others in Congress, he attempted to breast the storm of public indignation on that occasion, but without success, and at length the despicable facfion, in 1844, pending the Presidential campaign between Clay and Polk, sold out to the latter on the best terms they could make. In December 1S42, while they yet retained hope of gaining the confidence of the people, Cushing, then a member of the House of Representatives, was employed by Tyler to offer the public offices to the highest bidder, to be paid in subserviency to the Administration. Nothiug more disgraceful has ever transpired in the American Congress than this open proffer of Executive patronage to the members who should give their votes in support of the measures of the Administration. It excited the indignation of all honest men rn the country at the time, and was freely commented upon in the debates in Congress, as well as by the Press.

We subjoin a passage from the speech of Cushing, which we have accidentally fallen upon, delivered December 27th, 1842, with some racy comments of Col. Thompson, of Indiana. Mr. Cushing said "It was now nearly' two years since, in ac cordance with a vol'-' oi tbe people, a change took place in the administration of the Government. Since that time, an internecine war had arisen in the dominant party.

The war had now been pursued for about one year and a half but, in the midt of it, the Federal Government, with its fixed Constitution, had stood, like the God Terminus, defying the progress of those who were rushing against it. The Country had seen one party throw itself against the immutable rock of the Constitution. What had beon the consequence The party thus hurling itself against the Constitutional rock was dashed in atoms." "He had said the Federal Government was on a fixed basis at Washington. That was the foundation of his argument. Now he would suppose a man called to be President of the United States.

It mattered not whether he was elected, or whether the office devolved upon him by contingencies contemplated in the Constitution, lie was President. What, then, was his first duty To consider how to discharge his functions. He (Mr. thought the President was bound to look around at the facts, and see by what circumstances ho was supported. Gentlemen might talk of treason much had been said on that subjeet but the question for the individual.who might happen to be President to consider was, How is the Government to be carried on? By whose aid? He (Mr.

Cushing) would say to the party now having the majori ty, (and whom, on account of that circumstance, it was moro important ho should address.) that if they gave him no aid, it was his duty to seek aid from their adversaries. Laughter. If the Whigs continue to blockade the wheels of Government, he trusted that the Democrats would be patriotic enough to carry it on." Laughter.J Mr. C. next appeals to Presidential aspirants for support, and threatens them with the hos tility of the admiuistration, if they neglect to give it their support.

He says that a Whig Convention will be called to determine which of the legion of candidates shall be put on the course, and remarks "He did not know whether this Convention would be able or not to settle the rival pretensions of different candidates but he saw budding such blossoms of discord as to leave great doubt about the issue of any Convention that might be held. He did, however, know, that the next year and a half would be signalised by great commotion upon this all absorbing sub ject and, whether there might be one candidate only on each aide or not whether that candidate be cordially supported or not he would say that it would not be forwarding the political interest of any one of the parties in the country to carry on a fierce warfare against the present Administration. Laughter. He deemed it material that he should be frank on this point just now." Cries of yery frank, yery frank. knew also, what the Constitutional power of the Federal Govern ment could accomplish.
