The following is the recommendation, sign
Ell by ttcenty-t,oo ofthe New York members of
congress, in favor of General Van RENssE-
nAEa as Postmaster of Albany. We regret
that the National Intelligencer did not publish
their names. We have no idea that the Post
master General is to be sacrificed for com
piiance, as to local appointment, with the
explicit Recommendation of nearly the whole
oil the delegation from the state i'm which that
appointment was made. We do not think
that the occasion is SO important as to de
mand that any one shall BIZ offered up as IL
victim 10 appease the temporary eiervescence
OF republican feeling, however honest, carried
TO an excess not warranted by the magnitude
OF the subject but il victims are to be nmo-
lated, let those who originated and urged the
appointment be held responsible:
From the National Taelligercerl
Inc following document, which appears ne
cessary to complete the correspondence in re-
laton to this appointment, has not, we believe,
been hitherto published:
10 NE Hon. Return y. .Neigs, Jr. Postmaster
General.
DIR Understanding that vacancy is like
~ 10 occur in the Office of depaty postmas-
ter IN the city of Albany the undersigned take
the liberty OF recommending to your conside-
ration General Solomon Van Rensselaer, as a
suitable person for that appointment. The
hiSh reputation which General Van Rensse-
iaer has sustained in several important public
Stations, and,the distinguished ga'lantry which
ne mas SO often and so conspicuously display
eu IN tue service OF his country, render it mn
necessary for us to observe any thing in favor
othis pretensions, further than to state, that
we have the fullest confidence that this APP
Polntment viii prove acceptable TO the great
majority of our citizens.

The following is from the latest number of
the London Quarterly Review, and is a fresh
proof OF thessoftened feelings and increasing
regard OF the" mother country towards us I!
Truly such compliments cannot but tend to
excite our veneration and love for the inha-
oitapts ofthe isle to which we owe so many
klndnesses 1t was lately observed by the
Editor OF the New York Advertiser, that the
last Edinburgh Review was free from snecr
ana sarcasm. 1t was perhaps because the
Quarterly had rendered them unnecessary by
furnishing to the appetite of John Ball a sui
hciency of ridcuIe of the Amercans-till

Something has now been said to show,
that II the ancient republics of Greece are to
be held up as models OF admiration. that nur-
pose must be effected by stronger hand than
Mr.. Delzel's and that they will be so held
up, there can be little doubt, when we see the
side attempts made TO recommend republican
ism, even as it exists beyond the Atlantic, in all
the giories of bundling, gouging, negro driving
and dram drinking such poems as the Co
lumbiad, such speeches as Mr.. Adams makes
at convlvial meetings, and young ladies' who
when asked to'dance, reply, q guess iha,e
