pointmeht Of " an additional Postmaster General -
In the first place, no such appointment has been
made; and in the second, it is not in the power of
the President, or of the p. Master General to make
it. The law provides only for one Postmaster G e.
neral aud for two assistants; all which offices were
hlied by their present incunbens, long before the
election OF MIR. Adams. The person 10 whom Il
Citizen, is supposed to allude, has been employed
temporarily by the Postmaster General, to assist in
conducting branch OF the business, which from the
great extension OF the duties Of the Department had
become too laborious for is regular agents. In Sc
iecting him tor this service MIR. Adams il is be-
was not connectedj il is at least very certain
he did not interfere. The person thus EMPLOYED
was IN favor OF General Jacks0n's election and ex
erted himself to promote it. Among the candi-
dates IN the field, MIR. Adams was his second
cnoice; nearer, however, TO the first than the third
lie has never attempted, even nedtated, op-
position to the administration of MIR. Adams; nor
since the disappointment of an effort in the
course oil the last autumn, to establish political
and literary Journal at the seat of government has
lie eeen concerned in any project of the kind 1t
is therefore almost unnecessary say that the cir
cuinstances under which the establishment of La
per IN opposition to The administrations is supposed
to have been Designed and reinqushet by him,
never existed. TRUTH.

Internal Improvements seem to be the order OF
the day In most o. our Sister States. AT the late
Convention of Delegates at Harrisburg the NEE
ing was opened, and addressed by Mr. John Sergeant
of Philadelphia, on the advantages of opening >
communication between the Eastern and Western
parts OF the State. In the of his remarks lie
said, " that within the last ~ wears, PENNSYLVANIA
had expended eiepen millions three hundred and
forfy-nine thousand semen hundred and serenity
nine dollars or Internal Improvement. ard tina, 40
one had ever imputed any portion ofdistress that
sxPsnaiiihro.'' He was clearly of opinion that
whatever route should be agreed upon, the proposed
communication should be opened Jy the State.
A committee appointed, tho subsequently
reported resolutions declarng-'rhat the character,
permanent prosperity and happiness OF The State
demand an united eXertion TO open connection
he ween the Eastern and Western waters, from The
Susquehanna 10 the Allegheny and Ohio, and from
the AlleshanN 10 Lake Erie. That the application of
the resources of the State this object, ought 10
be considered valuable invest ment rather man an
expenditure. That all local objects tending 10 dii-
fusve and unconnected application OF the public
means, ought 10 yield Tor the present, allow
undivided eyerlion OF the public strength in this
great undertaking. That the people OF Pennsyl-
vania will fully sustain the Legislature all neces-
sary measures TO accomplish it.. That they re-
gard with satisfaction the efforts OF other States and
consider it wise in Pennsylvania to give every legal
facility and concurrence, and that they view with
pleasure the progress made in laying the Canal
from the Potomac to the Ohio, as well as the Steps
taken IN New York for forming a connection win
