The Union, replying to the strictures on the course of the President in a recent speech de- livered by Sam Beardsly in interior New York, contends that he Aas been true to his pledges, and exposes, with an excoriating pen the want of character of the New York Hard leaders. Beardsly, by-the-by, is very small game, being like nearly all the rest of the “ distin- guished” hards, notoriously a mercenary man. He will sell his polities at any time for cash in hand. The Administration buys no such cat- tle. Whereupon he is Know Nothing, pig, or puppy, as seems for the nonce likely to pay best. Public affairs, or politics, with the Hard leaders, is simply a question of dollars and cents, und as nothing is to be made for the pockets of such men out of President Pierce, they abuse him as a matter of course. ‘They are now without followers, the few they had, even in New York, having long since per- ceived that they were being used only for the bad purposes of unprincipled men. The Jute/ligencer says of *‘ an elective judi- ciary :” i; ‘One of the most pernicious innovations upon established systems which has been made by the progressive Democracy is the change cffee- ted in several of the State constitutions by which the judiciary has been made elective, and of course dependent upon the caprices of ‘litical parti *, instead of being left, as be- ie to the tenure of office * during good be- haviour.’ From the first publie agitation of the question, raised by dem: es upon a ** platform of popular rights,’’ we have omitted he opportunity of warning our readers against the evil consequences that would inevitably fo!- low from the adoption of the proposed change. Those consequences are now becoming so in- tolerably grevious in some of the States that fell inte the snare that many even of those who viewed the innovation with favor, have been compelled to acknowledge their error, and to depict in bold and glowing colors the enormi- ties that are now perpetrated without fear of the penalties decreed against them in the law. Would to heaven we had been false prophets as to these evils! We should infinitely haye preferred the sneers of our cotemporaries for idle, croaking, -+ old fogy’’ notions, to the evi- dences coming to us from all quarters that we judged aright of the tendencies of this pseudo reform in the science of government. I WASHINGTON NEWS AND GOSssIP. Troubled with Worms.—The defeat of all their efforts to obtain a respectable number of reeruits for the Crimea, and the loss of their heavy expenditures to that end, is evidently disgruntling those in this country who are identified with the British Government. No other newspaper in the land is usually a greater stickler for editoria] decorum than the New York Albion, the American organ of Vic- toria’s government, which, by the by, has re- peatedly indignantly reprobated the habit which the American journalists haye of re- Sorting at times toinuendo. We are therefore not a little amused at finding, in a recent number of that highly respectable publica- tion, the following, viz: “Aud thisreminds us that a portion of the foreign legion at Halifax. N. S., is said tohave revolted. Nothing is more likely, seeing that —with double infamy, which dees not in the least surprise us—Russian agents have been employed, in the first place to trap if possible, certain persons here into an offence against the neutrality laws, and in the second place to tamper with those who have voluntarily set outtorthe war. As forthe agents, who are Acnown and marked. we trust that the milita- ry commandant at Halifax will give them a taste of martial law if they fall within its seope. The very remonstrance, latel pub- lished from the poor devil reernits at tax, was part of the scheme agreed upon, and pai for at Washington. What sort of scoundrels they are who con- oct such plots, it is difficult to conceive; but their unscrupulous cunning will not always” save them or the officials who are laying the double game of treachery to which we have alluded, they would be wise to take care of themsclves. Be they =, = ortow, be they members of a Legation at Washington, or em- pleyed under another government, there are certain penalties to which they may become li- able, in addition to the deserved contempt to which they will be held up before the Ameri- can people. in the event of their machinations being expesed. A conspiracy between two official personages, to induce @ third one to break tne law. is not a ercditable affair. This is a delicate matter, and we may be compelled to be more explicit. We certainly shall not flinch, when the proper moment ar- Tives All said above, with reference to a plot, is “all in my eye.” There is not the slightest necessity for coaxing the agents of the British Government in the United States to get them- selves into serapes by essaying violations of our neutrality laws—not the least. They have onlers ftom home te do it, notwithstanding the horror with which the British Government pro- fesses to view attempted violations of our neu- trality laws and the laws of nations, when aimed against Mexico, or the authority of Spain in Cubs. Wherever half-starved loafers of any nation congregate in considerable num. bers in the United States, there the emissaries of Britain have essayed, unlawfully, to enlist recruits for the Crimea, which proves that the iolation of our laws is the settled policy of oria’s war office. The pretence that the Fecruits are not exdésted until they arrive in Canada. is a mere subterfuge; as they are spir ited away from the United States with the view, and wholly with the view, of employing them against Russia. Those who have closely , observed the circumstances attending the bare- faced efforts of the British officials to violate our laws in this connection, in various cities, will readily understand that the Albion's story about a Russian plot to entice them so to do, is the sheerest possible gammon, if but from the fact that they needed no coaxing whatever to that end. The A/sion’s trouble on that score is not real, The true cause of its mock indignation is the fact that most of those illegally recruited here, on reaching the Provinces, refuse to enlist; as to get them there, it was found necessary to deceive them, more or less, as to the purpose for which they were taken from the United States. The successful “measures of this Government, and the com- plaints of the “ poor devil,” are at the bot- tom of the Albton’s jeremiad, and not a “‘ con- spiracy’’ here or elsewhere > Who Support It.—It seems as thongh the vaunted Philadelphia platform is, indeed, in # dingling way, as it bas no supporters wor- thy of being called a party, north of Delaware, or south of North Carolina. Its nationality of influence is, therefore, strictly sectional; being confined to the narrow belt of territory bounded on the north by Mason’s & Dixon’s line, and on the south by the northern boun- dary of Soth Carolina. Thus, in every non- slaveholding State in which a Know Nothing Convention has been held since their Phila- delphia National Council broke up, or, rather, broke to pieces, the important plank in it, platform has beén summarily and indignantly disowned and ‘‘spat’’ upon. In Louisiana, Geor- gia and Alabama the anti-Catholic plank has been equally as unceremoniously disposed of in the same way, while in Georgia at least, the slavery plank above referred to has been thrown out to make room for a very ultra pro-slavery plank. In Ohio, the anti-foreigner plank, too, has been unceremoniously thrown out, and, instead thereof, one has been inserted ex- pressly denying any purpose of abridging the present rights of foreign born persons in this country, and inviting all such persons to join the organization, whose main purpose is de- elared to be hostility to slavery. By way of evincing the sincerity of their position in favor of this phase of Know Nothingism, the Ohio State Know Nothing Convention have just made the following State ticket, viz : Governor—Hon. Salmon P. Chase. Lieut. Governor—T. H. Ford. Judges of the Supreme Court—C. C. Con- verse an@ Jacob Brinkerhoff. Auditor of State—F. M. Wright, Treasurer of State—W. H. Gibson. Seeretary of State—J. H. Baker. Attorney General—F. B. Kimball. President of Board of Public Works—A. G. Conover. Of these candidates, three are Free-Soilers, three Know-Nothings, and three, gentlemen, who, up to very recently, have refused to aban- don what remained in the State of its old Whig organization. Brinkerhoff isthe man who, be- ing refused by Polk a paymaster’s position in the Mexican war, instantly turned a flaming Abolitionist in the United States House of Re- presentatives. He will be remembered out of his State only by this faet, which made some noise when it occurred. All the world knows the positions of S. P. Chase, who has for some years past essayed to rival Senator Seward as an ultra anti-slavery, and prc-foreigner man. We presume that nothing more than this Ohio Know Nothing action, added tothe prompt and emphatic refusal of the Know Nothings of all the other non-slaveholding States to stand on the Philadelphia platform, can be necessary to convince Southern Know Nothings who really care for the rights of the South, that, in the North, where Know Nothingism alone has strength to carry more than unimportant lo- eal elections, Know Nothingism is but a phase of Abolitionism, the all pervading element of its organization there. Roger A. Pryor, Esq.—As the New York Her- ald, of yesterday, published a false statement concerning this gentleman—concocted in its sanctum, and attributed to a telegraphic cor- respondent in this city—it may not be amiss for us to say that we are satisfied he has been ap- pointed to a special mission to Greece, chargel with the duty, if possible, of settling the difti- culty between the two Governments with ref- erence to Dr, King, on which Mr. Marsh, when United States Minister at Constantinople, was long engaged. The Herald’s veracious con- coction, of course, sets forth a cabinet squab- ble ever the’question of bestowing on him some foreign appointment, the writer know: not what. The selection of Mr. Pryor for this respons- ible and delicate duty is a capital one, for he is a gentleman of great energy, industry, and fine attainments, and well-matured judgment indeed. for his age. He has already won an enviable reputation in connection with his edi- torial history, and in the last gubernatorial canvass in Virginia proved himself to be one of the finest orators of that Commonwealth, of able public speakers. We are very sure that the esprit du corps which actuates, our breth- ern of the press without distinction of party. will induce them to hail the appointment of Mr. P. with acclamation, as a deserved tribute to the influence and character of the fraternity of American journalists. It is said that he sets out for the scene of his labors by the steamer of the 25th instant. Nineveh.—We continue the list of leading, most reliable, and active Know Nothing sym- pathizers with Nineveh, as furnished by the Secretary of the National Council of the sceret politicad order, B. C., 1854, to certain denizens of the ancient and venerated city of Nineveh, as being most likely if applied to, to exert themselves to secure subscribers for a paper the denizens aforesaid were about to start, viz: Daniel Spear, Columbus, Ohio.

Appointments in the Sixth Auditor's Office.—The Secretary ‘of the Treasury has appointed Messrs. Win. J-\McCormick, of the District of Columbia, and H. A.
