Correspondence of the PiUilnixjgh Gazette:'^
. . WashibotvSt’April 4.1849.
The work of retr.bulion ooihrelbnaation is going
n rapidly. A considerable number of removals
and appointments have been made to day; and it
is well understood that more are preparing. Mr.
Warren, the new head of the appointing bureau in
the Post Office Department, is doing his work
roughly, expeditiously, and neatly. Even the Dem.
oerats say that he is doing the business handsomely
up. Very few of them are so foolish as to regard the
groans and imprecations of the Union at these
changes with any thing but mockery. They laugh
al ii as a well acted farce. They know that their
party professes proscription ns a part of it* politi
cal religion, that it is perhaps the only one of its
professions of principles thst it observes, and that
this is one that it never at any time nor for any
cause departs from. They know moreover that
ddriDg ib« twenty years that they have had unin'
i lernipted sway, except during the thirty days of
r Harrison’s urns, the name of Whig, aye the suspi
cion of it has,been enbogh to condemn any appli-
cant for offide. Therefore, they understand that
tbc Whigs are now (o be brought into a participa*
on of the offices of the country.
I understand that during the month of March there
Fere some two hundred and tbuly odd Rppouu-
meats to post offices, some of the former Lncum*
bents of which had been removed for cause, and
some had resigned. La regard to these removals
in this Department, it should be understood that
Judge CoUaraer found a vast accumulation of se
rious complaints and charge* against post
which had either been presented and disregarded
bv the former chief of the department, or had been
reserved for the change of administration, becuuso
those who preferred them were aware of the use
lessness of impeaching the official conduct of the
political favorites of the post dynasty. These
charges ore new, of course, taken up, considered,
and acted upon. - i do not mean to say that all who
have been dismissed have been superseded for
malfeasance in office, but l call attention to the
facts 1 have an explanation that ought to be
modes - The number of new appointments daring
the present month will of course be much larger
than during the last, because now Mr. Warren has
his haods in, and is in the Way to ascertain more
•adily than at first
li seems to be becoming Onderstood upon both
sides that wherever removals are made, or vacan
cies occur, Whig* will be appointed. Among the ap
pointments announced to day, are those of* Igna
tius Meed to be commissioner of public buildings
in this District, at a salary of $3,000, and Thoms*
Filman to be warden of the Penitentiary—salary,
$1,500. The ftr*t is a respectable meohanic, and
a prominent Whig. He succeeds Dr. Douglass from
Connecticut, who has been very unpopular from
the beginning of his official career, owing to some
unfortunate disagreement between him and the
mechanics and workmen with whom he has to
deal. So ftr as I know, he is a worthy
ted able man.
Mr. Collier, ike Collector ol San Francisco, will
leave town lor St Louis to morrow morning. He
haa been direct*d to bo ready to set oat from St-
Louis across th* wilderness and deserts by the first
of May. He is accompanied by several of his
subordinates and deputies; and it is understood that
tbe party wilf'be escorted by a company of dra
goons. I am infcnined that be has appointed a
brother of Dr. Wood, of Baltimore, a surgeon in
the array, and son in law of the President, a Depu-
Ity Collector. Sau Francisco has already attained
| the rank ol a port of the third class, in the impor
tance and amount of its business, in the Union. —
However, i do not wish to be supposed one of
those who hold an extravagant opinion of tbe per
manent value of this acquisition. I consider Cali-1
fornia nearly worthless, after you deduct the ad
vantages of possessing iu only important harbor,
on the bay of San Francisco, and its gold deposiles
and quicksilver mines. The gold will soon be«
come exiiousted. and will be of little or no ultimate
benefit to .us. There probably t* some good tilla
ble country along the Sacramento and adjoining
the Oregon Ufie; but I venture to doubt whether
ihe whole region .acquired under the treaty will
sustain a population equal to that of Michigan, and
to affirm that, if we could get bank tho whole of
that part of Oregon to which 'Mr. Folk affirmed
our right was clear aud urquestionable, which he
gave away to the British, including the whole of
Vancouver’s Island, with ita coal beds, we should
be the gainers. rum's.
Washington, April 5,1849.
Amend the reformations of the day is the dismir.
sal of Mr. Bag**, Post Master at Detroit, and the
appointment of Mr. Williams, a Whig in his
place. Mr. Basgs is well known throughout the
north-west as the editor of the Cass organ at IV
troil, and a thorough going Hunker, of the most
uncompromising sort. He bat invited and defied
dismissal, and probably desired it, being confident
of his ability to make more capital for Cass Democ
racy out of than in the office.
It is rumored that Mr. Sw»uer, of Pittsburgh
was yesterday appointed District Attorney, for the
Western District of Pennsylvania, and that a Mar
that was appointed for the Eastern District. The
precise 'facts however reach you in advance of
this letter.
According to another rumor, Richard Wailach
Esq, who rendered sOcbgood service last year as
ihe President of the Rough ond Ready clob, wil 1
be to to-day,'or soon as practicable, appointed Mar
ahal of the District, add that changes will soonl*
made-to all the other Important offices of the Fed*
eral District. Ten or a dozen tom{OTary Clerks in
the Treasury have been recently dibpped because
the appropriation unier which they were employ
ed has ran oat. A few of the Democratic corres
pondents are expressing a world of virtaoas mdir
nation at this occurrence,— but that will neither r*
atore an exhauatfcd appropriation, nor get the clerks
back into their places.
The Union io reference to some remarks of mine
on the protocol, undertakes to stole that Mr. Clay
ton has addressed a note to Sr. De Rosas, the
Mexican Minister, informing him ll*at this Gov.
erttment coaid not leccgmze the validity of the
protocol, and should bold Mexico to the literal ob
aervance of the treaty, as it stood without that ad
dition. This announcement on the part of the
Union ought not to be lightly passed over. It may
be well founded, ot have some foundation, although
it must be confessed very little confidence oted to
be placed in the givings, forth of tbe Union upon
diplomatic affaire, while it was the organ. I will
not undertake to say'j what the tortuous and dis
honest policy of the past administration may have
compelled Mr. Clayton to say or do towards the
representative of Mexico. Asto foreign countries,
U/e act ol one admitturtrariori is tbe ad of the
American government, with reference to oar pen-
odical changes every four yean. Uis well re
membered what indignation was excited through
out the United Stales, when Mr. Van Boren, as
Secretory of Stole, in 1829, instructed the Ameri.
can Minister at London, to Inform the British gov
ernment that tbe then existing administration would
not bo governed bywhat he called the narrow policy
of the forme* one in some pending negotiation.—
’tb what extent President Taylor, Mr.,Clayton, and
even Congress, have been committed and bound
by the acts ot Polk aad Buchanan in the iniquity of
the protocol business, will not probably be develop
ed until after a searching investigation by the
Senate next winter. • •
In Connecticut the Hankers have united upon
the Barnburner candidates for Congress, aad the
consequence ia that three of them are elected—thie
is aWbig loss of three members. This loss will,
in all probability, be .more than made up in Virginia,
next week. 1 do not consider Ihe Whig majority
in the House doubtful in the least. The cause of
Seymour’s running so veil in Connecticut'for Gov
ernor aad carrying all on his ticket along with biro,
are well aaderetood here, and are known to have
little connection with politic*. He was the hero
candidate, was a soldier in the late war, and per
formed a most brilliant and distinguished part at
Chapaltepea, and in other bottles at tbe head of his
regiment. In Virginia the "Whigs wil! have some
of the ftarfie- eclat add qllarinx charms of military
reputation on their tide. it
The statements to the effect that the sdministra

the appointment of cliplomalio fonctioaariej in or*
der to save, money to their outfits 6cc~, fito., is ai»
most ludicrous, although circulated by some usually
well informed whig correspondent It seems that
notwithstanding ail the financial snort comings of
the late-Mflpagers, there was at the disposal of the
government on the first aft his month, more than a
million ol tbe loan, which had not been and was
not then called for, and is now available. Besides
the oagertidb that tbe Treasury would even leeljts

Report of a Committee, on the Ehfiaisuies of j
Tegular BducmioH'in tfu etiy of Ptt&bVTgh\
i»f tokick teas proposed the establishment and
plan of a Citv High School
Paorsssoa Elliott —My Dear Sir:
After reading your Review of the Report of &
Committee on the peculiar wants of this city, in’
regard to the opportunities for a practical edoca
lion, in which was recommended the. establish
ment of a Public High School, as the first step to
wards supplying these wants, and after having:
heard objections to that report, similar to your own.
advanced by one 01 two other gentlemen connect'
•d with the University, 1 hasten to explain the ob
ject of the Report, wtnch you seem to haTe mis
apprehended, to make some remarks on the UDi
versity, and to defend the studies which we recom
mended to be cultivated, from the objections you
have brought against them.
If the Report had been misunderstood by the
public generally, l should lake blame to myself (or
want of sufficient clearness, but I believe it has
not. And 1 more than saspcct that yoor misappre
hension of our object arises from a kindly, but to
my nsiod, mistaken wish to Bee the University sus
tained on its present iouudaiion. We will come
j to that point bye and bye. The object of the re
| port was to briag before the pablin the limited
amount of education obtained in the Public Schools
of the city, the incomplete aod planless course of
study generally pursued in the private and higher
schools by youths who are destined for active life,
and to propose the establishment of a city High
School. We then showed that certain branches
of knowledge have a peculiar bearing on the indus
try and prosperity ot this city, aod recommend
ed that a prominence should be given to these slu-
I dies, iu the course to be pursued in the High
School. In making this apparently natural sug»
| ges&on, we did not aspire to originality nor eccen
tricity, but supposed it to be the dictate cl common
1 propriety. Our object was not to lay down ibe en
tire coarse of study to be pursued in the school,
not to dwell on the importance of studies ulready
generally acknowledged, nor even to enumervte
them all. We are not conscious of an indiifer-
ence to morala; we did not think of excluding
the cultivation of the moral* of the pupil*, and
we did not think of mentioning iL for we pre
sumed that this was a fundamental principle of
all good education. We did not cvyn think of
passing condemnation ou tne ancient languages,
nor any other branch ot human knowledge, at the
same Ume, not regarding the study of those lan
guage* as oflhe most immediate importance to the
public at large, we did not think of fecorometid
ing them ns primary objects of pursuit m the pro
posed Higb School.
There ts another reason, which even iUwe had
entertained yourowu opinion of their importance,
might have prevented us from making the ancient
languages the ground work, itdr when pursued to
their full extent you know they are only a ground
work) of education in this public city school- Nome
ly, the plain impracticability of such an extended
plan of education, in such a school. The Commit
tee would surely have exposed themselves to the
charge of Quixotism haJ they brought forward the
plan of a school, in which the pupils should pur
sue a course of Latin and Greek requiring eight
years for its completion, even whire u occupies
more than half of the pupil’s time. iTo confer ihe
benefiUof which you speak, this period would Iks
sull tpojsboit. The Boston Latin school, euiplojs
six years in lilting boys for college. The Germans
i give twelve year* to the study of these language*
in the schools, preparatory to the Universities Ihe
I average time speni ia their study by college stu
i dents in our country, is at least nitje years, and
I suit,you say yourseil. that the high benefits which
the study of the ancient languages id calculated to
1 confer on the mind, are not attained only iQ very
rare instances dunug a collegiate course. What
then would yon expect tn our High School*
Besides, you would nol confine the course tn ibe
High School to a limited range of studies !n ad
i dition to the languages, you mention mathematics.
! logic, metaphysics, moral philosophy, studies of
1 taste, the natural scieuces, and to sum all up m
, your own words, “the system of education pursued
! in a High SchooL, ought to be ns getters! as the cb
jects of education itself n l know ot no existiug
institution which would realize the idea here ex
pressed. The University of Pans w the nearest
approximation. The Free Academy of New York
is attempting something of the kind, but theu. after
erecting a building at the cost of WS.OOO. it has a
yearly appropriation 0f520,000 for the support ofthe
teachers- I fear they are attempting too
you would have us attempt more. 1 conies*. my
dear nr, after reading your truly learned and o >ur
teous review. I feel an unaffected csrmsity to learn
how you would propose to bring your plan ot edu
cation within the utoe and means of those who in
tend to devote their lives to active pursuit*.-.-f those
who are to become our mechanics, our arlixans,
and our merchants.
I If we would propose a scheme of popular e*Ju
1 cation which is to be accomplished m our own dav
-and generation, we must not suffer ourselves i. •
soar above the world of realities and smbborn facts
however homely that world iun\ be. In this sense,
1 admit that the study of me physical science* has
a tendency to moke u* “took and dovn.
Now if we look ot Ihe most favorable precedents to

We certainly cannot expect to frUiu our pup- * i ir

Now 1 ain almost willing to abide by yoar den*
uoa whether the time of these Uda, destined for
the moil part for practical employments, cannot be
mor» profitably employed at school than in getting
a smattering of the anci?nt languages. Even if a
few of the pupils might be willing to remain forthe .
period of eight years, their education conld be i
only carried on at a great expense, entirely d»* 1
proportionate to the general expenses of the school.
Therefore a don regard to the principle of afford- !
inglfie greatest benefit to the greatest number,
would render any provision for that dess of «u
denis inexpedient- l look on the proposal to
make the ancient languages a part cf the course
Of study iu the Pittsburgh High School, a futile
one, considered simply io regard to us practica
bility without touching the question of its desi
rableness- On this question l have little to say
at present, because the ditousaion does not seem
to be called for. lam content to repent a re
mark contained in the report, of which you taae
ao notice, vir. that the study of the ancient lan
guages is valuable not only as a preparation fur
professional education, but to every one wnode
votes himself to the fullest cultivation of bis men
tal powers; this, however, the majority;of man
kind do not, and cannot do. A great many can
rive four years to an education io a higher school
JL few can give eight or ten For the many,
therefore, the modern languages should sapply
the place of the ancient. Properly pursued, the
French and German languages require a meiul
exercise the same in kind, tf not in degree, as
the rtudy of Latin and Greek, with the advan
tage that they ate acquired ip balfthu tune, and
*£ of moch greater uulity when acquired.
With these explanations of the objects of the re
port and the facts with which wc have to dual,
I think you will not insist upon making the an
cienl languages the leadine objects of pursuit it.

troduce them at all at the outset, for you say your
eelfi in one part of your review, that “for the com

in the report, that the knowledge Ihat-can bo ac*

In ibts connexion, and before considering yr

to make concerning Iba Unlventily.aod ,he course

lo the report wns, that no mention was made in
u ol Astronomy, among the sciences to I* pursued
in the High School. The gentleman kuew per
fectly well that the committee had neither the in
tention nor the power to prescribe in its detail'
the course of study lo be pursued in toe High
School. They merely called attention to the class
ol studies which have the most direct bearing on
ifie prosperity of this city, and which iq their
opinion, should be leading studies in the proposed
school. It was asking quito too much of them'
that they should stultify theinnelves by enumer
ating every branch of human knowledge as the
course to be pursued in n publ-c school They
appreciated tbe noble science ot Astronomy as
highly a* the gentleman luir*«U', but having a
natural disposition to keep within the pule oftom
mon sense, they could not be induced to recoin
mend the especial cultivation of Astronomy ns a
study particularly adapted to tbe wauls ut inis

which it was designed lo prepare the way —name-

realize, in nuy way, the objects of the High Sfcbi'iol.
the tuition fees of the pupil*, sent from the Ward
Schools to the University, must be paid bv the

Indeed the gentleman, cn the lormer evenitut hnd
so explained bis piau of union. Every parent who
might wish his child to be educated at the Univer

to be seat there through the public tch'oolaor ti e

tuition fees of thirty or forty dollars a year and
