No fact could better illustrate the of party organicltion, and theneeessities position, than these concessions by a int Bice Mr, Buchanan, who has always, 3erveilly, enjoyed an exalted reputation for 'log the strictest proprieties of life in his induct. When such men OM command re )le places, by the force of an influence, they contrive to conti'Aiifidels . fafo show . .e system is wrong, and needs' to be re- it of the foreign appointments are to be held a month or more, to.get rid of the pressure 'patronage, which still continues, tropite .ribetien in most of the large cities. Mr. of South Caroline, formerly a Member Tess, was' tendered a Miesion ' and came look over the ground, and feel his way to most round of the, ladder,. But as Mr. ill remain in' London, at least Until the American Treaty is finally acted upon, h e content to wait, or to descend from ty pedestal of his aspirations. At one, . was settled that this gentleman should' seat in the Cabinet; bet the President toed that inclination, after very little re awl the present overture may be designed salve far hi 3 di 4 apphictiment. Mr. Pickens teed a Mission unit r the last Administration, the knowledge of that fact may have been one he inspiring motives now. It 'would have far more acceptable to the country at large .ov. Aiken had been chosen f or a Mission, o South Carolina was to be considered so .1i ally. dr_ Whittlesey is to leave thefiretComptroller's eon the let of May. Thie is not only de ed, but his successor, Mr. MAIM, of Ohi o , h as !ti rippointbd. To obviate any difficulty, lie' 'malty tendered his resignation, awl the Presi tit conveyed a request that he should close the estigntiim of some important antes now F e nd. lu.fore him. When they, shall he adjusted, aloe will be turned, over, %model of ditei ne, integrity, and propriety, which his sue. 4sor only he proud to emulate, in all its corn. tic cited end responsible departments. Ic is at last decided that Mr. Appletou is to re am trom the Union immediately, 11l health is ossigned as the main and moving cause, but other reasrus operate quite as strongly in pro og this result. The real proprietorship of t h e paper resides in Mr. Wendell, the public ieter, Mr. M'Cuire, the book binder to the zirnate, and other parties connected with the, puh:io contracts and jobs. They have used its roiri co l position heretofore to subserre personal mod prouniary -interests, and it was originally )I , m - 118F:ell with distinct reference to the' promo ti these objects. Mr. Appleton not only Cent] himself hampered by Arch a relation but prijudieecl Wore the public by, giadditiolis suspected of venality. Besides, he could not be indifferent to the fact, that with the bad odor these parties bad acquired, the printing of Congress was rendered extremely doubtful, even with a party majority in both !louses. This is the true secret of his - withdrawal, though it has been found convenient to give other causes undue prominence. When the subject was submitted to the President's notice, a few days ago, he distinctly said, he would nut he concerned in naming an editor. The purpose is, as far as may be practicable, to disown the orgnnehip, and let, it, like other tubs, stand on its Own bottom. But it is very obvious - this design cannot be car ried out, and consequently will soon be consigned to the region of other discarded intentions. A whole host of aspirants, of various degrees, have sprung up, to solicit the honor of playing upon the single string, which is only required here. Virginia has at least a dozen applicants. The former favorite, Forney, seeks in vain. Others from Pennsylvania, and some from Missouri, are on the look out. Among the mi at deter mined supplicants, is Mr. Edmund Burke, of New Hampshire, who was once a large centributor jo its columns, nin.l.Wl3o; from being a friend of the late Atliniaistrttion, bmame one of its most bitter opponents. Haviog hien 'all things to all men, and nothing long, he is recommended by a variety of nitwits, that none of his competitors do or would claim. If he should be chosen, it will be as the spokesman of the proprietors, and nut as the representative man of the President. After much, twisting, turning, and tribulation, we have got a new Governor of Kansas at last., and that Governor is no less a personage than the Hon. Robert J. Walker, cx Senator and ex -Secretary of the Treasury. This appointment, like , the digit on a finger-board, points out the road the Administration means to take; and all attempts to qualify its purposes, and to - palliate its motives, are.but the suggestions of expediency. When a member of Mr. Polk's Administra tion, Mr.. Walker was nria, Of the Most 'active managers in bringing •alieut , the Mexican war.; looking to its tesults, as he did to the annexa tion of Texas, of which lie.'waS also a conspico , uous champion, at one of the agencies by which the interest with whiCh he was. identified - could be extended, and something more than Mr, Cal houn's equilibrium in the Senate might be accom plished. His whole career hae - had a special di reotion, and those 'who. expect lie will turn his bark upon former principles,and policy, give the strongest evidence of their distrust in the same breath which applauds the wiedoni of this ap pointment, it is easy to to= suppose how Mr. . Walker'S nomination will be received by the Free State settlers in Kansas. If. their hopes are not destroyed, they must surely be disheartened. Opinions differ very Materially as to the .pro priety of Gov. Geary's course, in leaving the Territory when he dirt, and. under the peculiar circumstances by which he' was surrounded. The failure of the last AdMinistration to give him the support, of amen and money •which was promlied, may have been a good reason for distrusting the better dispositions of its'.successor ; but,, it las seemed to me, that sound Tolley and duty.both required Gov. Geary to put Mr. Buchanan to-the practical test, before .abaiscloriing' hii post. ' He resigned first, and was willing,lf.not anxious, for restoration afterwards; or _rather he • signified here t his readinesS to retOrn, if assured of the material aid which was 'considered neces sary, in preserving the pence and protecting the rights of persons, and prdperty. Perhaps this view may be erroneous,. but f it appears to be:reit eonable, an is not intended in any way to reflect upon the , motives which actuated the Governor. He may have rioted wisely :from the standpoint in which he saw the condition of the Territory ; while we, at thia - distariee,:niad with otherlights, may see things under different aspects. All cause of censure against this Administration is disarmed, by the failure ; to ,try, its dispositions. If the application for support had been made and refused, then Gov. Geary wouldlitill have bad the public appeal, which-lie prematnrely made, left as a recourse in his own justification. It t los Albany, Illinois, A. correspondent, g , L.

There "can be no' doubt that consumption is always a dangerous, and, as generally treated, usually a fatal disease; but surely it does not from this follow that it is necessarily incurable. The frequent occurrence of sears'in the lungs ,of paragons who have died of this disease, shows con clusively that recovery from consumption does oftba and consequently we may later We , could add some comments upon the case which her father made, highly coMplimentary to Dr. Fitch, but have not space.. It seems to us, howerer, that facts like these should be known; and'.:if this 'little article prove the means of affording is reasonable hope to any unfortunate. or despairing consumptive, it will not have, been penned in vain. We. Ought, perhaps, to add that Dr. Fitch is now in our city, where he will re main for some weeks.—Gazette. The steamship Europa has brought news from Europe to the 14th of March. The indications are peaceful. There was still great excitement on the subject of the Ministerial defeat in Parliament, A ma jority of sixteen, in a House of five hundred and ten members, may seem small; but it yvas a ma jority, and indicated that the Premier could not carry on the GoVernment. Custom 'has decided. that when, on an important subject, Ministers are' not sustained, they must either resign, leaving' their plae . es to be filled by others, or they must dissolve Parliament and appeal to the people, in a new election. Parliament is chosen for seven years. The present House have sat five years, and have seen important events. It has refined' its sustenance to two Ministries, Which yielded. The,present Ministry diskolves the House. If, on a new. election, Parliament will not approve their riicaeures, they will likely yield. The course pursued toward Chine has not met with the moral, approbation of the British people. Many greatly dislike the opium business, carried ort.by the Government; and many think that the retaliation for the late insult given by the Chinese to' the British fliewas unwise, too hasty, and too sanguinary. • A CAlmEltvms.

And it seems to its that the way in which this increased knowledge of the nature and treatment of the disease is to be gained, is for men of talent to de• vote themselves closely—almost exclusively—to its study. They will thus see far more of it than they otherwise could, and they must, almost of necessity, if they are men or originality and ob servation, attain continually increasing skill in its treatment. The truth - cif these positions may be seen in the unquestionable success which has attended Dr. C. M. Fitch's treatment of pulmonary affec tions. Though still comparatively a young man, there me few physicians, if any, either in this country or in Europe, who have seen or pre scribed for more cases of disease of the lungs than Dr. Fitch ; and his success can be amply proved by the testimony of many whom his skill has saved from otherwise inevitable death. We were led to this train of reflection by an interview we have just had with Judge Easly, of Johnstown. Cambtis Couuty, who narrated to us the particulars of the case of his daughter, now a young lady of eighteen, but who, a little over two yoars ago, • Was brought by her faiber to see Dr. Fitch, iu a condition, suct., that her friends and physicians considered her case exceedingly critical, if not altogether hopeless.
