Taylor.— We feel satisfied our citizens, regret the removal of Mr, Sandbrson, for they kncwhlm to be able, obliging, and courteous to all those having business With the office. He has been removed because he dared to vote for Gen. Cass |n preference to General Tatlor— this was his only offence. In retiring from office he will carry with him tho respect of our en tire community. .Gen. Taylor and his advisors, wo arc told, had .much trouble before they could agree as to. who ahould receive the appointment. Mr. Benjamin Wun scauca was strongly supported by the " working Whigs" of dor borough, and. had powerful backing too at Washington. He is a most active, persevering Whig,and his TricndsTcit sanguine of success. When (be news reached hire orCol. Hcudcl's appointment, men" looked savage—long and loud were ilieir curses. Tuylor was denounced first— then Collarocr—then Penrose, and Indeed the whole administration, including even Fits Henry Warren,' „The t Deinocrats looked on and laughed. Of the new Post master, Col. Hendrl,wo are free to say he las gentleman of sterling worth. There is some consolation in knowing; that ho will make an obliging end excellent officer, The administration has been fortunate In making this selection.
