to rebut onr arguments*— single falsehood is
pointed out—the editor'll fieft-reaped. 1 ’ 1 will oot

There wus nothing in odr remarks to touch the
keenly, but it* truth. • Thai was the two
edged sword which has wrOagiauch a howl ol ago
ny from him. Oar statemutit-amounted to this
and ibis only—that the originated by
Uie riots, and fomented snd;keft up by the course
of the Pittsburgh Morning, Post, lias paused our
insurance offices to decline* jawing risks on cotton
factories, unless at ruinous Rftek—and that, owing |
tq the same cause, the L-nibn Factory would j
not be rebuilt; and that it xffoulid prevent nny fur- i
ther investment, or reinvestment,of capital in that
branch of busines-s in tbfa .rsy and vicinity, for
years to come; and until in entire change taker,
place in the comluct and-, feelings of those who
pouseaa the means of so mcjoh mischief
This the Post calls “falae^“li!>ellous r —-{he “cool
effort of a base, malignant False in what
respect 4 la it false that infftirpnee has been more
difficult to be obtained,and%ha( the rates have been
increased, in oflhis excitement! —
Has the Post the hardihood ii> deny so palpable a
fact 4 We have since undef-UKxl, front anotberfae
lory, that their rates hove s»eeh ipaterially increas
ed since the riots, and were compelled to
go to New England lor insurance, aud that it was
at last effected with diffieiuty. •
Is it not true, that lhcl. : efp» Factory will not be
rebuilt, and that thi* decision is owing principally,
if not wholly, to the vexations interference with
tbeir business, by the Post; nod a set of meddling,
. officious charlatans, who (tffect to manage the af
fairs of the operatives, although they could never
manage any successfully o£ iheir own ?
Or, wdl.ihe editor say, flint his codrse has no*
necessarily produced sucb-ii stale of affairs 9 He
may say, if he will, that hq'did not .Idsign it do so
—•that be only Wished to gain a little cheap politr
cal capital for bis party, nbi! a character for a little
extra love for the working classes for himself—and
that he had no wish to injure the business of the
place, and destroy its manufacturing -.interests. —
This may be possibly true. ! But If so, it proves the
wisdom of the xa.yftig, thhl -‘fools should not be
truste’d with edge ioota. rr -*A flippant, conceited,
and intensely selfish coxcomb, in charge of the
terrible ‘engine of the presses more dangerous than
a cool headed knave, for he has not sens© enough
to perceive the coaseqaen&s Of his own conducl-
Bal let his motives and*wishes be what they
may, the effects of hfa course are. evident It has
inflicted a direct injury upCn the CottOU Maculae*
luriog business of this wgreai and ruinous
that it only exist* heft- from sheer necessity. The
buildings and machinery i/e.here. and the pro
prietors are compelled to bat they would
gladly sell out at a-erffat sdtfrrficc, and quit a pur
suit which has brought theft}, since these troubles
began, nothing but vexaUom anxiety, obhqny, and
loss.
These aro sorrowful truths, add for the honor
end prosperity of our city, jve wpuld bury
(hem in oblivion; but .malignant diseases require
severe remedies; andwe feel assured Jhat unless
the evil is checked by the strong, power of a stern
public opinion, before it efctoads further, other
branches ofbuainesa will feefrt* blighting induence, !
until our city will becomes place rather to be
ahunoed than sought for, Vy those intending to
embark in manufacturing operations.
The Post puts forwards* jta- ever ready excuse
for all its sins agnihsi/the.welfare of the city, its
attachment to the fen Hour Law. But this shall
not serve it. li went further than tins, and be
came the npulogi&t lor rioters, and the assailant of
nearly every person connected Willi the proprietor

It very much the custom of age

several centuries of luxuriant growth, tbqugh laden

This tendency to radical change is seen in all
the departments ot society. The Socialist assails ;

whirlpool* of this giddy and busy life.
The preceding remarks are intended as intro
ductory tu a review of a report prepared, and read
by Professor Stephens, of the Western University,
proposing a plan and cotirse of stud.es for a Pitts
burgh High School. Tlie report, considered in it :
self, was very ab.e, and did credit to the accom
plished and learned ge.nlleman who prepared it. —
Had been an address delivered with the inten
tion of setting forth the utility and a Jvpntages of
physical science, without any reference to an edu
cational scheme, no notice, except u highly com
mendntory, would have been taken of ilj but stand
ing related, as it does, to a system, it c&iitaius inn*
ny things objectionable. The whole complexion
of the report—more than any direct italeraenl —
givea, in a system of alt/ration, on undue prouu
aence to physical science, exalts to the first impor
tance what is fconoeeted with tbe mdunthul pursuits
of life, and casts into the shade those brunches of
study which are most essential to the highest intel
lectual aud moral developement Its amiable au
thor may have been influenced by reasons which U
known, would greatly modify bis statements, but a
review must have reterencr to tbe re port as it 19 not
to any private senumenl9 which its author is known
to entertain. The teashn assigned t>r advocating

they do not receive their due* proportion" of atten
tion. If that is the fact, Protestor 8. was right id
endeavoring to introduce them to public aUentioo
and favor. Bet oil this point there n i.i 4 difference
of opinion, and many will, no doubtj think that
Professor S. proceeded upon a false assumption.
If we may judge from the catalogues of our Acad
emies, (female Seminaries and Collegia, and from
the proficiency of our graduates in the studies that
generally compose* a liberal course of education,
we would infer that the physical sciences meet
with their due share of attention. For one. who is
a thorough adapt in meQtnl and moral•sdience and
logic, ten can be found who are skilled in the nat
ural sciences. It ts the menial and moral sciences
that are neglected, and.it always will be the case,
ns long 'as man is more inclined to look outward
and darn, than to look irithm and Bp. “Know
thyself" is tlie language of mentui and moral
science: know the mulerial world, that of physi
cal. For tiie former knowledge, man bos little de
sire; tu the acquisition of tbe latter, llm boarding of
wealth gnd all bis' mundane connexions contrib
ute.
It is impossible to determine the relative itnpor
auce of any branch of study, an!e*s tt'e view it
vitb relation lo some system, or with reference to
ac end lo be accomplished. The qvie&on.theQ,
arises, What is the end lo be accomplished by
the course of studies generally pursued in otir
Schools, Academies and Colleges 7 At!! will con*
cur in the answer, tbe education of .mnn—She
developing of his intellectual, moral arid physical
powers, in order lo lit him for the performances of
bis duties, as a moral, intellectual and facial being.
But wt* <*ao have do adequate idea edu
cation ought to be, unless we have a efear concep
tion of that complex creature—man. then,
is. man—his constitution, relations and destiny.'
Man is composed of soul and body. '‘By means
of his soul, he is allied to the world qTspinfo, by
means of his body, to the world of matter. Tbe
rartid is eoduwed with‘{acuities whtb)), ia their
exercise, obey certain laws; the body 'possesses
functions, some of which'perform tlie allotted
to them without auy volition on oar part; others
follow the dictates rf the immaterial. principle;
Without slnei regard to metaphysical tbe
faculties of mind nnghl be divided into the intel
lectual and moral faculties, sod tbe Ucuhfes olta?te.
By the lirsi, we apprehend the abstract relations ol
things, and the truth or falsehood ot prttposiliuu*;
by the second, we discover the luor&f'quahiy ol
actions, and derive the feelings ofoblghtton, bv the
last, we appreciate the Iwautv and subli§§k of
art, and tbe externa! world The i>od/ is a mere
instrument of perception and action, it’ll. Ic at the
same lime it tonn* tbe hohituWou ol Hie spirit 111
this subittnary sphere. ;
But our idea of man nuM U? very Upiective. fi
we view him 111 an isolated rapacity, only, and
contemplate his laeulite* anil high ehiluunienl
witbout reference to the great spiritual system, of
which be forms 9 part. A* a memi»er‘of suuli n
system. be is 11 subject of moral law, administered
by the Legislator of the Universe. Tin* law does
not view him a.* an autot>le-> —a bemgUtvhose end
is hiuiselj—but as one, whore chief endj* to glo
rify his creator by the highest oiilUvnlioh and ac
tive employment of those mental and .moral facuL
lies, with which he ts so munificently endowed. —
He most not labor with too much eageraea*. to se
cure the greatest happiness and wealth possible for
tbe present term'of existence, but to fit. himself for i
that world of realities of Which this fori&A only the
vestibule. This is his high destroy. Jfl order to
do this, we must not estifnate things according to
their present importance, but nccordinylO their in«
fluence on our future well being. TUe- question
ought to be, bow shall-such a pursuit bes* fit us for
the noble destiny, to which we arc ‘Veiled! not,
how shall it advance us iu wealth nr fame. Were
our end kept steadily m view, things! Would as
sume their proper positions and stand related to
each other in tbeir due proportions. The spiritual
would be placed lirat, the physical second.
""If tbe writer has not been sofficienUyexplicit
and systematic on the nature of man, he tra«u be
will be excused on the consideration thiHjie deem
ed it unnecessary. He is not reasoning against
infidels and materialist*,bat Against Lho«e> who ad
mit the moral and intellectual dignity of man, and
who will readily acknowledge that the whole ma
terial universe is only the scaffolding of /that spir
itual system, which it is intended to sbbserve.—
Here we agree with that wonderful sage of anti
quity, Plato, and with the iulalliLte ward of Reve
lation —Spirit is oldest and first in importance —
matter youngest and secondary. Creation, with
all it* harmony of arrangement and Iwauly, in but
an effect of mind; shall we not. then, study the
wondrous cause 1
Having glanced briefly at the end to be accom
plished by education, and at the constitution, rela
tions, ana destiny of man, the writer will! now en
ter upon the consideration of such an educational
system as he thinks adapted to a being sd 1 wonder
fully made—so complex in Ins relations, and so
noble in the design of lus creation. 1 Its Viiorai and
intellectual part being confessedly superior to his
bodily organization;Jhie relations to the /world of
spirits and eternity being of more commanding im
portance than his relations to matter and.time; and
his duties lo his Creator being of higher obligation
than any thing else that can claim his attention, it
follows that every thing that deserves the name of
education ought lo have primary reference to the
cultivation of bis moral aad intellectual’powers.
It ought to aim to draw out and direct the highest
impulses of his nature; and to tram lhe*mtnd lo
hobitgoi close investigation, discriminating anal
ysis, comprehensive generalization, and discursive
reasoning. For this end the student must be made
acquainted with the relations of being, the propers
ties and laws of matter and mind.
So far as the cultivation of the moral putt of our
nature is concerned, the writer attaches vfcry ItiiJe
importance to any merely mlellcctual, pursuit.—
Theology itselj maybe studied without any bene
ficial influence upon the heart. That which cor
rects the moral obliquities of our nature must
be sought from another source than science. The
Bible offers the means of reformation lojall who
will submit themselves to its cure. How Jar that
ought to be iotrodoced into our schools a{td colle
ges, does not fall in with the object of tho present
discussion. But there are sciences, whieh, from
their very nature, bring*the mind into c(p4er con
nexion with moral and religious subjects than oth
ers. They also accustom the mind to list kind of
evidence on which our holy religion rest*; In this
respect they may be considered as having; a marc
direct moral and religious bearing than thbj demon
sirative and expenmoalol. The writer, pses the
terms demonstrative and experimental with refer
once to mathematics and the-physical sciences. —
This ts fn accordance with scientific nomenclature,
nud is correct; but the term experimentnl'uiight be
applied to other sciences besides those w&ich are
coiled the physical. A man may expetinJCiit with
mind as well as with matter. « ;
It is not intended at present to consider science
as an end, or an object of pursuit; but as fill jmtro
nient in developing tho mental facuUieakWhat
science, or sciences are best adapted forlhis pur
pose? Science ft the comparison of phenomena,
and the discovery of their agreement or disagree
ment, and exists in the mind. If it rxigti in the
• mind, bow,then, can it be made mi mntrhment in
| training the miad' Manifestly, .by directing the
! mental powers to the comparison of phchbmena,
fancl the marking of their agreement, or disagree.
menL This is the whole process of education.
What phenomena ought Aral to be presented? Our
senses will of coarse direct as first to those of the
external world, and with these we will iEjera our
first acquaintance. . But we cannot genertUze, nor
reasou without the use of language; at leitat, with
out its assistance, wc cannot communicate our
thought* and conclusions to others. Lhbgasge
may. therefore, be considered as the vebiclfebf tho’t
aod the instrument of reasoning; and, cotueqenu
ly, it ought to be first in evety’sYsfem of education.

mtterent modes of ihtukmg among mankind; and
the more we will multiply our individual natures
into the general nature of man
Ail this may be allowed, and still the que-tion
may be asked, what languages are best adapted
lor our traiouig iu ptufolug) ' May not the Ger
man und {reach, or -<mte other modern language
lake the place ol tbe Latin and Greek, as an in
strument ol education'
Language has Us facts as well a* its laws, and
if studied ul all, as there u no general language, u
will be necessary lo refect some particular one.
Now a dead language, the phenomena of which
are fixed, has a decided advantage over a living
one, which is subject to perpetual change. Its
permanent 0/ form affords us better opportunities,
for philological anatomy, aod for giving fixed ideas
of the general analogy of language. Of «j| dead
languages, the Greek ami Latin, with the exception
as scholars say, U ( the Sanscrit, have attained to
4 ° n P* !r l«‘- , tio«i ot graminaUeal structure.
And beyond all comparison, their literature is more
m-h and varied than that of any other dead
anguage. It 13 not a matter of wouder, then, thot
t ley have been -.-Ircted lo impart to youth the
elements of philological training.
11 order to obtain dearer conception* on this
subject, it maybe necessary lo show the particular
uianuer m which tbe study of the classics disci plineN
the in nd.
Suppose then, a student with hi* Virgil or Homer
before him. What is the object to be attained 1
U 1* manifestly to arrive at tlie meaning of his
author. In doing thLs, he makes himself acquainted
With Uic signification of particular Words. Ilia
next task is to arrange these words according to
tOmr dependencies and agreements, *0 as to make
a consistent sense. To do this successfully there
is the exercise of vnnoua facnlUea. Memoiy ts
employed m remembering words; comparison is
exercised in observing their relations and agree
ment, and judgment in applying the principles of
grammar Bm the exercise does not end here

With tbe geographical and historical fact* connect
ed with bis subject; and inform himself with regard
*?. allusion to political, social, and domestic
life. The study ot the classics, if properly pursued,
is not the mere memorizing ot words and guessing
tbe meaning of a passage, but it is the exercise ol
memory, comparison, judgment, and taste. In
separating compound sentences into their elemen
tnry parts, the uimd goes through a process of
analysis, in combining these parts according to
tbe principles of syntactical structure, recourse is
had to the opsositc process of synthesis; and in
tlioroughiy comprehending the subject, contribution
is laid on almo-t every department of human
knowledge. This can be easily illustrated by re
ferring lo one of our English Classics, To under
stand Milton, for example, requires not only a
thorough knowledge o( the English language, but
also ol mythology, theological opinions, and many
other subjects \V hen in his lofty verse, he *peak*

them w«- have some of the highest exertions of tbe
human mind, the fountains of history’, tbe wells of
poesy, the highest effort* of oratory, the most subtle
disquisiUonuof philosophy are there. They require
then, the application of logic and criticism. But to
analyze the structure ol arguments, the affinities of
thought and the principle* of taste is the highest
walk of mind, and nil this a thorough and com
prehensive study ol tin- classics requires. The
instances are very rare, however, m which (his ts
done during a collegiate course. All that can be
done there is to teach the eaglet the use of Uis
Wings,‘and train him for loftier flight*.
Time will not permit u* to show that tha study
of the classic* cannot with advantage lie nuper
seded by any rise. Reference will merely be
made lo a pannage in Prof S.’a report, in which,
speaking of drawmg v he remarks “It cultivates
those very qualities of mind, only with sorer re
sult*," (it was so printed, but Prof S. read it “onlv
with surer result* for practical purposes, - ) which n
is our aim to cultivate in the study of the ancient
languagea. 1 * Without detracting in the least from
the great advantage* to tie derived from drawing,
the writer isof opinion that the author of the rejiort
baa been misled on tins subject by too great u
partiality lo what ha* merely an industrial bearing.
Drawing contemplates oaly the relation* of size,
form, and proportion; but tbe study ol the classics
deals with the pheuomena of mind, the b&rmony
01 thought, and the Dice proportions and subtle
analysis of the ma.-ter productions of me human
intellect, in prose mid verse. The former portray*
the form* of external nature and the *peciaiens of
art; the latter expresses the emotions of die mind,
aud holds before n* it* beautiful creation*. They

else can, but by carrying the pupil info the region*
ol cold abstraction, they chill tbe aspirations of fan
cy and fetter the pLv of the imagination. The rea
soning employed in Mathematics, moreover, is not
drawn from such a variety of soorces as iu the
study of languages The mathematician seta oitl
with a few first truths, and hts whole process con
sists in deducing ultimate or unknown truths from
such as are pbvious or have been before demon
strated. The same may, indeed, be said of the
student of language*, who ba* his atuhor, diction
ary and grammar But in conducting tbeir respec
tive processes a great difference will be observed
the mathematician deals only with the relation*
of quantity, the -Indent of language*, a* we have
*een, deals With the significations of word-, their
relative position in a «eutence, tbo nelectioc ul sueir
term' a- will best ex pres* the idea, and with gram
mar. context, geography, history and archu-ology.
In this very inferiority, however, con-ist* the su
periority of pure mathematics. They habituate the
mind to attend to one jioiot at a tunc they teach
arrangement and anity of design.
The Dobfest of ►.-•<-uce* i» metaphysics and it
ought to form a pan of a liberal system of eduoa
tion. By metaphysics the writer does not mean
what the Scotchman detioed to be sbmelhing unin
telligible to both sjw-aker and bearer; but that sci
epee, the subject of which is the humaa mind, with
its Busceplibihlie* and powers. I| all acience—not
object* of science—l* m the mind, it must be of the
highest inqiorUince to its interwta that the proper
ties and laws of mind should be well understood
Prejudice* have long existed against the study
of metaphysics, hl* said that the phenomena of
matter may In- the subject of actual experiment,
but i&okc of mind only of observation. Mr. Stew
art has well remarked ; “the difference between
experiment and observation consist* merely in the
comparative rapidity with winch they accomplish
llTfcir discoveries; or rather m the comparative com
mand we po**e-* over them, as instruments for the
investigation ol truth. The discoveries of both,
when actually effectedjfire so precisely of the same
kind, that it mnv Safely ne affirmed, there i* not a
single proposition true of the one, which will not be
found to hold equally with respect lo tho other.”
As an instrument of edneatiou the study of met
aphysics possesses a high value. It imparts lo the
mind subtilty and strength. “The design of ed
ucation is nut so much lo irnpirt information, as to
give tone and vigor to the mental powers—to form
tho understanding to habits of thought, at once bold
and cautious, patient and discursive, bold and pro
found. To efleci this purpose, those sciences in
which the evidence is only probable, possess man
ifest advantages over those in which it is demon
strative. The evidence, which the mathematician
requires, and without which, be will not, in his de
partment of science, admit the truth of any propo
sition, cannot be obtained as the guide of our con*
duct, even in cases of grealmoment aod requiring
prompt decision, it is on moral evidence that we
must act in all the relations we sustain to God and
to each other. Now, if the constant habit ol mjm
nag and obtaining demonstrative evidence, should
not produce a sceptical bins in the mind of the
mathematician, which Mr. Stewart denies, it must
we should think, mfalllbly render him in compe
tent to judge in coses where the only evidence to
direct him is that with which he is less conversant
and familiar, it must, in a measure, unfit him to de-
cide on probable evidence, and where probability,
os is sometimes the case, opposes probability. The
study of metaphysics is the best gujdc here. |t
lends more eminently than any other, to form re
flective habits of mind: for reflection is necessary
for observing the phenomena on which we are lo
reason; it is requisite for comparing, combining and
separating them; it is requisite ultimately Ibrakcer-
lining the laws to which they are subjected.'’
I.ogle, which sustains pretty much Jbe same rein
tiou lo the mental and moral sciences, which Gc.
omelrv does to Hie physical, ought also to receive
do inconsiderable share of attention. The distinc
tion of terms, the description of propositions. Hie
different kinds ol’ evidence, the structure of argus
meats and the detection of fallacies are ail impor*
tanl to be knowp.
Moral Philosophy and the science of Taste might
be mentioned as subjects of commanding impor
tance in a course of liberal stndy; but as tastru.
menkof intellectual developements, they *re infe
rior to those, which have beeu specified. As ob
jects of knowledge, however, they are inferior to
none.
The branches enumerated, have been mentioned
first, because they arc more nearly allied to our m
tellectual and moral nature, and the most oT them
better adapted for the purposes of mental develop
meat, than the physical sciences. Tho physical
sciences, notwithstanding, oaght to form a part of
our education, and though they have been men
Uoned lost, there is no reavott why they should be
studied last By tho - physical sciences we learn
our relations' to the nattnjftgpoHd: we are ai>o

Washimctos, March 31,1549.
tine rommiiMon at least, which had a long lime
i.j run, has been revoked—that ol Major James H.
Gooke, Marshal ofTexas. Gen. Joseph Bates,form
erly a distinguished Whig of Mobile, and recently
Mayor of Galveston succeeds Major Cocke, as
Marshal of Texas.
This i* an appointment which it does honor lo
ihe heads and hearts ofMr. Secretary Clayton and
Gen. Taylor. It xvas made day IxMore yesterday,
before the superintendence of the appointment of
Marshals was transferred from Mr Clayton, of ihe
State Ifepartment, to Mr. Kwinp. of the Home De
partment. I have, for ten years, known t Jen. Bates
as a most sterling and mfluenlial Whig, and a most
estimable and upright roan, with a heart “full of
the milk of human kindness," and at the same
time os firm and dauntless as ever beat in man s
bosom
I have good reason losupjiose that Gen. Thom
as G. Polk, a aoblr whig soon of the old patriotic,
whig branch of the North Carolina Polk family will
be appointed Marshal ot Mississippi. He now re
sides in that State, but formerly resided in the
county of Hardeman, in West Tennessee where
he stood up manfully, as a uoble whig.ia two cam
paigns, against the pretensions and claims to honor
and distinction of his cousin, Mr. James K. Polk. —
His appointment as Marshal will rive great satis
sure lo the whigs of Tennessee, as well aa those
of Mississippi
To morrow being tbe last day of the month, it in
anticipated by the clerks in office that many remo
vals will take place. They however, may, for the
present,quiet their fears. 1 have to day ascertain
ed that no removals are 10 take place in the Post
Office Lfepartmeol lo morrow, and it is generally
believed mere will be none, comparatively speak
ing, in the other Departments.
Yesterday. I beleve Mr. Ewing appointed two
clerks, Mr. King and Mr. Robert Harper William
son in the Home Department.
It is right and just that eaeh head of a Department,
and eaeh head ot a Bureau, should have a majority
of the clerks in said Department or Bureau on Ins
own side of the political questions which divide
the two great parlies of the day. And tins will
be the case. But to bring it about, where there
are now about 750 Loootbco to less than 1 00 whig
officers, there must necessarily be many changes
in tbe Department* at the seat ol government.
3 | Mr. Hall, the new Register of the Treasury, 1*
expected lo arrive here by Monday next, and eo*
ter on tlie duties of bin station.
Gen. McCalls, the Second Auditor, still holds ou
to his office. it 1* understood he leaves it soon,
however.
\ou may have »f*en published recently u hatch
of appoinlments for Mu-rouri—all locorrecL Tliete
are leld§?raphic report* of appointment*, sent off
Irom here and elsewhere, which nre incorrect, und
not entitled lo belief. In tons instances, the ca~
’errfi for the public appetite for more and news,
who «en*l i'tfl!ie«e rejKirt* »n the lightning wires,
uiay lut thr nan on (lie head, but a* a general
thing said report* should be received with a wide
margin of allowance.
The late official editor is ail the lime striving to
tuaks his readers believe, that iflhta AdminiKlra
lion make a*"many chuoge- m tbe important off
ces ot the government us the Polk Administration
tuade, Gen. Taylor will falsify oil his pledge* m*ffo
before his i*TecttOH. Mr at*o asserts, over and over
again, that Mr. Polk win not proscriptive, though
an avowed partisan, and that he did not, like Gen.
Taylor, go into tbe Pretudentiai office with tlie
avowal that he would be Ihe President of the whole
jieople. and not of a party, and therefore that Mr.
Polk had a better right t>> turn out hia political up
poneiiU.and put his political friend* iu their places,
it he had been pleased so to do than Geu. Taylor
lias
These are not the exact words of the late offi
cial editor, but they roavvy the subslauee of
wlml tie has l*een decianug on the subject.
Now tn what, and on what occasion, did Gen
Taylor declare, that he would, if elected President,
keep conspicuous partisan ijoculoco* in nil the
prominent offices ol the government, because they
woold huppen lo occuov these place* at tbe t.mr
of his inauguration' ‘>n what occasion, and in
what document, did he declare tkut he would uot
make changes in tlie principal offices of ttie gov
ernment' When and wb-re. and lo whom, did tie
declare, that it elected President lie would not
have the majority of the principal offices of the
government filled by honest and capable men,agree
ing with him in political sentiment 7 Wh-n,where
and to whom did he intimate any of these thing*'
Certainly not in either oflbe Allison letters. Would
it not puzzle the venerable editor of tlie‘‘Union.'’to
point out tome of tbe pledges mode by Gen. Tay
for, wh.ch would more militate against his removal
of hts political apjioneats from office, than the pled
ges of Mr. Folk militate against hi* removal of
Whigs from such offices as happen to be in tneir
possession at the time of hts inauguration.?
Ifbe can do it, let u* have the evidence. As
-ertion alone will not answer. Let as have the
document*
But the venerable editor is strangely forgetful
when be asserts that Mr. Polk was not proscrip,
live in the some sen***—and lo a much greater ex
tent —in which he now charges proscription upon
Gen. Taylor. Where was there It whig left in an
important office' Where even was there a Tyler
man left sqve Henry A. Wise,and two or three oth
ers, who were suffered to remain through fear, or
a sinister motive.
Look also at bis Army Appointments, where all
patriotic whig volunteers were proscribed from all
chance of reaching high and honorable tlalioos, be
cause those stations were conferred upon Tx>colo
cos. And such appointment.- as many-of them
were'
Again is the venerable editor's memory at fault
when he assarts that Mr. Polk did not profess to be
the President of the whole people, rather than of a
[■arty. Look at-hts inaugural does it not express
ly contradict the venerable editor's assertion' Look
at bis speech on New York, whenen hi* Presiden
tial lour to the North—did he not there declare
that he was not the President of a party, but of lhe
people? True, lie immediately tliereaffrr went
into Tammany Hall and gave the ngbt hand of
fellowihm to hts ultra Locolbco brethren of that den
of Locofocoism. But nevertheless he made the
assertion.
The venarable editor excluim* ‘•But Mr. Polk,
who stood confessedly a party man, is reiused the
smallest modicum of praise, when General Taylor
is overwhelmed with adulation because he, a pre
feased no party man* has failed thus far to remove
three democratic officers, who are admitted to be
honest, capable and faithful.”
What a pity! Mr. Polk is refused the smallest
modicum of praise’ Why don ’t every body praise
him unmercifully as the editor of the ‘Union'' has
long been and is still doing’ POTu.MAO.

Senate rejected as Governor ofMinesota, ha* the

of the Committee on the Judiciary, la 181*1, he was

the nomination of the district for the succeeding
election, but not because of auy dissatisfaction wun
his course in Congress Another was nominated
in his stead, purely on local grouuds. la I*4B, be
was the electoral candidate tor the same Congrva
sionol district, on the Taylor tickyt, aod made
one hundred aod two speeches during the can
vass. The result was, the district, which gave
but 1000 majority in 1840, notwithstanding the free
■ml excitement, gave 1100 majority for Gen. Toy-
U was said that be was 100 young, but a corres
p indent ofthe Baltimore Patriot answers this ob*
:tion thus: —
He is as old as Gen. Cats was when made Gov
ernor of Michigan, and older, more experienced
and, quite as dignified, we prosnme, as Steven t’
Mason, bis cuocessor m office. He has greater c*-’
pactiy and as much dignity as James Lucas, who
