Our attention was first reused to Mr.. CUSHING $
haransne by general laugh which startled all the
listess on the promenade behind the Speaker
chair Upon inquring of Member what Alr.
Gushing was doing, we were told that he had, IN
effect, put up the Administration at auctioR-seek-
ing to dispose of its ticket in the lottery for the
Presidency TO the highest bidder; bot he thought
there would be a postponement OF the sale, Tor
want OF bidders. When we gave to the
orator, he was most eloquent!y descanting on the
power possessed by the Administration to turn the
scale of parties in the pproaching contest for the
Presidency. He iasisted that the vast control
which he attributed 10 IT in this respect was not
derived merely from its patronage, but from Its
vetoes. These, he said, meeting the great nea-
surcs Of either party tuH bN0, could at any time
throw them off their career, shake them loose, and
render amalgamation necessary. Mir. Cushing de-
cared that in the present state OF parties II was
the duty OF, and argued patriotism IN, the Admin
slration to throw It's influence into the scale OF
that party which was best disposed to forward its
measures, and enable it to carry on the Govern

based strong hopes of turning the strife thus grow
ing up to the advantage of those who welded the
executive authority. lie intimated, with many
shrugs and shakes Of the head, that much was
medi,ated by the great nen who were around the
President who, he said, meant make them
selves felt in tie coming crisis. The House was
given to understand that these potent managers Of
the helm Of Government knew their time, and would
put in an oar with decisive effect shcn the moment
arrived for deciding the fate OF political parties and
aspirunts.


This was the scope of h1r. Cushing's remarks.
We do net attempt to give his words, or rather his
expression. No report can do TINT; for it CON
sisted more in the manner, than the language en-
ployed.


1t is with pain that We record this first instance
Of Executive influence openly put up to sale in the
face Of the Representatives of the people. 1t is
but a little while since these very Representatives
trayerscd the Union, dencuncing the dangerous
aud fatal tendency of the Executive power, when
con.cientiousiy exerted by any Chief Magistrate,
however honest. 1t was portrayed to the country
as in It's very nature encfoaching; ard it as
serted that it had increased, scaS Increasing,
and oughtto be din,inished;' and, yet, tsis very
party have elevated from their ranks President
and Cabinet and Chancellor of the Exchequer,
who, as the agent of the Government, rises in his
seat, and, like an auctoneer, offers It's influence
for sale to the party which would bid most for it.
The Pretorian bands never so openly set Up the
imperial purple for sale in Rome, or SO indecenty
offered it TO thar faction which would promise
most for the opportunity of Prostituting it.


We cannot dive into MIR. Cushns's thoughts !;
but, to our apprehension it did not appear that he
rendered these courtezan favors much to bis Old
companions, (the Whigs,l as to some novices
whom he hoped TO entice from the ranks of the
Democracy. The coarse, indecent oyertures made
to-day were well calculated to prevent the mischief
intended The profer of to-day is notice to the
nation and the man who is found in the embrace
of the Administration, and supported by It's mere
tricious influence for the Presidency, will sink with
it. MIR. Gushing n,ust look for the paramount he
seeks among his old quainiancos-the Coons
Such character cannot be found among the prom
iuent men of the Democracy.
