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 flgare, and making a great
display of economy. Small demagogues generally fall
into just such mors; they suppose they can humbug the
public in this easy way; but the people of the United
Stales understand that there is a vast difference between
a watchful care against lavish expenditures and that
!?} stem of so called economy which would curtail the
proper developement of the country, and try to carry t?n
a fovemment of twenty-three millions of Inhabitant*
with no greater expenditure tlian was required for one
half the population. It will require a better foundation
to et-tablUh Mr. (futhrie's claim to be a statesman than
the fact of his recommending Congress to curtail neces
sary expensos of the government.

THE REMOVAL OF JUDGE BRONSON.
Addrcas of the Democratic State Committee
to the Democracy of the State of New
York.
The act to wbleh ire solicit your attention, and which
we are sure will receive it, has no parallel in the history
of the American gov ernment. We allutle to the removal,
by the present administration, of the Hon. Creene C.
Broasou from the office ef Collector of the port of New
York.
That eminent jurist and highly respected citizen is well
known to you. During a long life he has held various
stations of high dignity and trust, voluntarily bestowed
upon him by his State or by the people, the duties of
which he has discharged with such wugleuess of purpose,
and such clear abiliy, that no man enjoys in a larger de
gree the pu'jfcc esteem and confidence. Politically, he
has ever bcjen a consistent national domocrat. Although
a Judge or our highest oourts, and their Chief Justice, he
could not, with a right appreciation of his posi
tiob, enter the arena of polities as a partisan
combatant, his political opinions have been al
ways avowed, always well knowa, always undoubted.
On all the great public quest ons 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 ar-d abolition coalidon'aud its " llutralo move
ment" in 1848 ? he stood distinctly, as he stands now,
against all agitation, and airong the unchanged friends of
tlie national democratic par:y. He lia*, at no time, turn
ed a?14e from the direct line of pa:itia*l duty, auy more
than he lias deviated from the path of rectitude. He
has not coalesced with f.ctlon.or struck hauds with the
traitorous aesailants of the democratic party, either to
enable thein to return and control its des .inies, or to mi
nister to his own love of power and his personal aspira
tion*. ?An earnest ri. m' of the election of Ueneral
Pierce, and prominent among those who have adhered
Willi Ud.-'llty to the national democratic party and
its platform, ho has not declared the ouo dis
solved, nor the o her shivered into fragments.
In short, his political course has bean as constant and
undcviating as his official and private life have been
elevated und irreproachable.
Under no administration, State or national, has Judtce
Bronson been an applicant for office. He retired from
the bench before bis period of judicial service had ex
pired, followed by the reprets and the approval and admi
ration of all parties. When Mr. IHckiuson declined the
appointment of Collector of the port of New York, ten
dered and urged upon him by Gen. Pierce, Judge H ronton
was nominated for the vacancy by the Preddent, and con
firmed by the unanimous vote of the Senate. He had
requested his Meads act to present his name, and his
appointment was wholly unsolicited on his part and nei
ther known or expected by him. If his hesitation to
accept the appointment was at last overcome, it was as
much from the assurance that the President greatly de
al *ed kin acceptance of it, as from any other consideration.
In the discharge of the duties of the Collectorship, all
who have had intercourse with the office? all that nume
rous class of intelligent citizens engaged in the manifold
and extended pursuits which centre there ? will attest
Judge Branson's fidelity to the public interests, his integ
rity and his unquestioned ability. The selection of Uia
subordinates iu the Custom House, of every grade, was
a task of no ordinary difficulty and embarrassment.
Thousands of capable and estimable men, in the city of
New York and in many parts of the State, were presented
for plates, and an unavoidable discrimination, where all
were worthy, was a duty from which he could nntshjtak,
but from jvnich any public funtionary might well <msjre
to be exempt Without assuming to inquire into every
man's antecedents, or to treat with itliberality even these
who had formerly denounced, assailed and opposed the
democratic candidates and repudiated the national
platform, but who bow professed to have re
turned to the support of the latter, he aimed
to appoint a greater number of national democrats than
partisans of the free soil section, believiug the preponder
ating strength of the former in the cities of New York,
Brooklyn, aLd tho vicinity, from which it had been usual
to select a large proportion of the appointments, to be in
accordance alike with political and personal justice. But
he appointed no Iran who did not alaim to approve the
Baltimore piriform and the doctrines o' tho President's
inaugural address Every official act of his was approved,
and all his appointments, with a single exception, in
which Ite office was abolished, were confirmed by the Se
cretary of the Treasury, with a knowledge of the details
of the former, nnd the general complexion of the latter.
Ho has made no appointments since, nor has he taken a
a step beyond tee which in no tranner pertained to his
official poi-ition, and for which ho was not amenable to
the federal or any other government, but which,
as a citizen of this State, an I a member of the
democratic pary, it became at once hi* duty, as it
was clcarly hi < right, to perform. For that aot he has
been removed from a station to which he was appointed,
unsolicited and undesired a few piouths since, without
cause or justification, and under circumstance* as we
have alieady said, which lmve no parallel in the history
?of this or any free government.
When the c-alition of ires soil partisans and their
allies, the dissenters from tlin national democratic camp,
fresfc from the scenes of bullvlsm and convict association
at Syracuse, gave public notice of their meeting in the
city of New York, to respond to a state ticket formed
uiiier an npgiegatioa of such element.- and published
without authority. Judge Bronson's name among the
s]>?ekers and friends of sucli a fr*t?raity, he felt it to be
h a duty to disclaim the association, und t > place iifnisetf
unequivocally where he lias eter stood ? among the friends
of erder and the national democracy of the State and
the Union. He did so in no measured phrs e or liesita
ting manner. He fiid it with the manliness and repub
lican directness by which Irs life has been distinguished.
This ac?, belonging exclusively to our State politics,
and necessarily comii g within his own act'on as a citizen
ot the State and a member of the democratic party here,
which has ever supported the na' ion.il democracy of the
Union, was the signal for an assault upon him by the free
soil faction here and their allies at Washington, accom
panied by such unusual rescripts from official quarters as
may be supposed to precede tlio climax of a foregone con
clusion. It viis obvious that if a resignation could not be
forced by insult, removal was to follow under any pretext
wlileli the coilition could devise. In a letter remarkable
oidy for its absence of all the qualities which are sup
posed to characterize the productions of men whom
chance or merit have placed in hie;h stations, he
was informed by tho Secretary of the Treasury
tfcat he had taken office under a pledge to distri
bute hi.s appointments among different sections of the
the democratic party, meaning the national democrats on
the one hand, ani 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 tills golden
rule of treasury distribution, in accordance with ti e Bal
timore platform and the 1'resident'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
will not be thought singular, now that ttie parties
are known, that thi? refcTlpt was followed the ne?t
day by another, directicg the Colleceor to submit,
for the apptoval of the Secre'ary of the Trea
sury. the names of all clerks proposed to be
employed in the public stores ami in the bouded
warehouse ? a requWineut beyond the jurisdiction of the
Treasury Pepartment, in derogation of the law wbioi
vests audi 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 addregscd, not as a
general circular, to direct the action by a common
rule of all the local officers of the government in
the city of New York ami elsewhere, but oxclusivelv and
<nvidious y to the Collector of the port of New York, and
intended for his special edification and instruction.
To these remarkable exhibitions of the temper and
manr.er in which a high officer of the govornraent as
suiiied to step into the arena of our State politics, ta do
cide between its sectirns, to dispose of ques
tions of regulailty between conflicting organi
zation.-, to manifest pioference and superiority
for the free toil fee I ion. and to cource sutj
ml-sinn by intimating whence came the tenure of
office, or compel retirement by offensive and unwxr
? aotable exactions,' Judge Bronson replied In a letter dis
tinguished by its calm 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
national democrat, without an offensive word; but with a
disj assioeate dignity and cogency that carried Conviction
to every just mind that its facts were conclusive, and its
re?sonir.g unanswerable.
The published rejoinder of the Secretary of the Treasury
Is not less remarkable a< a production, nor less extraordi
nary In its assumptions, than it*i predecessor. In both re
spects it is utterly unworthy of a Cabinet officer of any
government, much le?s one supposed t? rest upon the in
telligence of the people. As the organ of tho administra
tion, that functionary announces the dismissal of Judge
Bronson for 'Insubordination" in declining to comply
with srbltrary exactions, imposed without authority of
law and in conflict with all the past actions of the govern
ment, and "condemns him, '' to adopt the lanjuageof
the Secietary. " for having selected free soilers without
giving me notice of the fact, which would have enabled
me to withhold my approbation from such appoUt
ments!" It is difficult to conceive of anything in the
descending scale of pettifogging, lower than this. The
Secietary of tlie Treasury wan the first to allude to sec
tion* in the democratic party, ami complained that the
Collet ti i bad not done justice to that one of them which
eveivOodjr understands to mean the free soil section.
Now, the Secretary condemns him for having made ap
pointments in any instance from that section, or, as that
functionary chooses to denominate them, "free soilers."
Judge Bronson nowhere makes use of the word " free
soilers,'' but following out the Secretary's idea of flec
tions, h? alluded to the democratic and free soil sections
an illustrative of tSe manner In which he had distributed
his appointments between each. That he has appointed
to office suddenly converted pretender* to an approval of
the Baltimore platform, but unchanged free soil partisans
in fact, we de not doubt; but they are precisely such free
soil officials as flourish " by authority" at the bead of
the New York Surveyorship and Post Office ? such as fill a
large majority of the government offices throughout the
fetate? sach, precisely, as the present Cabinet Insists shall
be appointed In still greater proportion, and such as con
stitute the great body of the faction who oiler the ticket,
for refusing to support which this high-handed act of
power has been perpetrated.
But let us call your attention to the motive for thLi
unprecedented aot, which is now covering every cltiien
with ttmalliatlon for the oonduct of his government.

A meeting of the Democratic Republican General Com
mittee \\n n held last evening at the Stuyveaant Institute,
to hear the report of the committee appointed to draft
suitable reaolutiena, expressive of the indignant senae of
the national democrat* in regard to the removal of Judge
Broneon, in consequence of hi* refusal to become the tool
of Van Ruren, Marry, and company.
Notwithstanding the wet weather there wan in attend
anre a very good momber, among whom were Hon. John
Wheeler, Henry H. Morange, Kit' j . , Alderman Barr, Mr
Goorgo D? Witt Clinton, Measn. Hart, Atdrous, Mead, and
othera.
Alderman Rarr called the committed to order, when the
subcommittee reported the following resolution
The C.eneral Committee of tho nathnal democratic party
of the city and county of New Tork, in view of the exiiting
oordition of political parties, and of reeent ooourrenoei un
der the administration of the general and 8?ate government!,
and In Justification of the position oconpied by thn national
democracy of the North, paee aasnimously tho following re
I lolvee ?
1. That the (treat question, the anneiatioa of Texas, npon
which James K. Polk, of Tenneeeee, wae nominated and
elected Preiident of the United ft t alee, whieh involved col
laterally the queeMoae of tree (oil, sbolltionlsm, and the
Ii|hti ?I the Btatee, m%\ the early u4 earaeit npport o(

the J ?hich marked that administration of the
Soxtmu . iu it* declarat.on Mil eondnot of the war wife
kxioo; in 'a acquisition uf Califoraia and New Ma*
ico; iu it* r .ntan# to the corrupt pulicjr of internal
improvements by the general government: Id it* a tarn oppa
eltion to any infringement upon tha rights or laoal instita ?
tions of our aii t*r States, ami la ita advocacy of tie doctilaw
of free trade, thoa> whom this committee now reprewat wan
the honest and enthusiastic advocates of thai policj, and
each and all of thoae measures, that upon the nomlnatla*
and election of James K. Hoik and upon the palioy adopted
by liixn, and the measures consummated by hii aimiaistra
lion, the duaocratio party of thia .State first gave evideaoa
tkat there ware withru is organization two interests, oije ri
gidly maintaining national doetrinea and State rights, and
the other seclional in ita character, and in favor or anok le
gislation by the general government ;>a would be vtalatifV
of tha compaet, knd wosld inevitably lead to a di'solutioa af
thia Hnion; and that we now inaiat before the demooraoy af
the State and cvuLtry that thoy who, by the power af patrwi
age known aa free soil democrats, are now attemptiag to MV>
trol the democraay of the N<?rtb, were then and are now tfcafc
aoctional party agvnst which we hare warred, and wiilan
tinue to wwr to ths end.
2. lhat Lewis Cass was defeated in lftlH by a coalitiea ntdi
between tlia iactiua of free noil democrats and the abali
tienists; that the principle* of tht democratic party wera by
them openly repudiated, denounced, and held accursed dar
ing that canvass. that every proposition tending to irritate
tind provoke tlie States to dissolution waa grasped at aadl
urged by these free soil democrat!; that the meaiures known
aa the compromise measure* were resitted in their passage
by every meaa* which resklesa ingenuity could deviso, ana ,
that after tliey became the law of the lund, the execution af
the law was resisted by there, and ita violatioa bald up M
Justifiable and humane. And the General Committee agafca
insist that they itl,i? committee1 uow represent in thetic
principles, In their organization and iu their candidates,
Those* ho 'luanfulh stood by hewis Casa, tha constitution, aa?
flhe principles of the democratic party, and that the other or
pamta'loii, claiming to he dumocratie, is essentially that
against which Our constituents conteuded in LS4 H, having
the aniuii sympathies now u> then.
3. Thai the nomination of Franklin Pierce aa President af
tha United States, was the cerspquonce of that great national
scutimeut, conservative of the Union, which grew out of tha
dangers which tne combination of free soilers and abolitiea*
is :s caused to thr< aton it. that the antecedent* of Geaeral
Pierce were so clear upon the questions which eutored ia tfce
canvass, that be reflected in hi? own parson, as completely
as any public man could, the oxaot iJea and intent af tha
national mind; Mint this alone was his strength and okara^
and n bare suspicion of opposite sympathies, tha weakness ef
hia v?ternn competitor: aud that we now regard hi* eleeMem
an having been a great national triumph, vindicating tha
I mon and reproving sectional faiaticiain anil uiao> ..uo.iu.
4. That while we admire the whole tone and senti'nenVol
the inaugural, as in consonance with tha aeutiinent and ex
pectation of the country, we oannot rosiat the frank and fal
expression of our opinion that t ho President haa adopted a
foliey in tbo (election of his advisers, and in his appointments
o various placea of high trust, which haa created throughout
the whole country a feeling of disaatiifaationand regret; thai
the appointment uf the cabinet officer from this State waa ?
selection unexpected and undesirable; that the oonsequeaee
of tint appointment, by the influence whioh it neoesearily be
stows, lnis been fatal to the harmony of the democratic party
of the State, has vitalized and animated, and brought agate
into action, a dangerous free foil faction, which public oaia
ion, by the election of President Pierce, had oonsigaea t?
death and buriaL
ft That we regard the recent remoTal frona the office af
Collector of thia port of the Hen. Greene C. Bronson, hv tha
Secretary of the Treasury, with the manner and allegoa rea
sons therefor, as an outrage unprecedented in the admiaia
tratiop uf tliis government; that we look at it not merely aa
the removal of one of our most distinguished citizens from a
place lie honored and graced, but as a startling attempt a*
the part of a high functionary of the general government ha
centralize, by its patronage, the politice of a sovereign Skatft
of this confederacy.

The Expedition to Honors.
Ot'R SAN FRANCISCO COKKK3PONDKNCIC.
San Fraxcbwd, Oct. 1, 1863.
Tlie principal topic of news here just at present, al
though it is Autrcely mentioned in the papers, is the pre*
jected expedition to Sonora, That as expedition has al
ready been organized, for the purpose of taking forcible
possession of the State of Sonora, there can be no doubt.
Tl.e leaders of the expedition are William Walker, former
ly connected with tbe San Kranciseo Htrali, and Col. J.
Watkirs of this city. Walker will go with the adraaa*
party, snd Watkins will 'follow as soon as their arrival !?
heard of, w ith a larger force. About two hundred nea
have been already recruited, and will leave here witk
Walker in the course of the next fort night. They purpose
going by tea, and, sailing up the gulf of California, intend
landing eorut where in the neighborhood of Ounymas.
The leaders of tbe party say that there are but two hun
dred troopn in the Sta'e of Sonora, and that it will be
about nil ety days before any reinforcement caa 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 upun annexa
ti n to tbe United States. Considerable money has already
been raised, and there is no doubt that the expedition
will rail. Ti e United States Minister in Mexico ha 1 re
quested the authorities hero to keep a sharp look out,
but tbe piobability is that the authorities will not. med
file in the matter. Most of the leaders in this affair are
Southern men, and it is the design to make Sonora a
slave terrltorr. The ostensible object of the expedition if
to drive the fndians from the mining legion of Sonora.
