Comptroller, vice Richard Cults. removed;

Mr.. William Ii. Lewis, oPTennessee, TO be second
Auditor, vice William Lee, removed,
The Senate of the o. States adjourned last Tues
day, being officially notified by the President, that
he bad no farther communications to make to them.
Within three days after, these appointments
nounced as having been made. Can he official
tell us the reason they were not made before the
Senate adjourned Why were they not submitted
to the forms of the constitution, and the advice and
consent of the Senate asked for themo The reason
we imagine IS too obvious TO be concealed. The
President suspected that the Senate would not con-
frm'the nominations Of Hill and Kendall. He knew
them to be both. men of depraved morals, and des-
titute Of any claim apart from the personal services
rendered to himself-that they were in bad odour
i'll New Hampshire and Kentucky, and that the
Snrate possessed too much pride to raty their NOM
nations. We think that the grave and rejecting
portion ofhe people OF America, will shudder at the
hands IN which the affairs of the country are now
placed. In ali the cabinet, there is not man pos
sessing the smallest experience in executive affairs
Most Of the ministers (pll except Van Buren, and
Berricn) are mere of straw and the muster spir

rcins OF Government in our country. 1t his been

AL Cults thus dismissed. is the brother INLAY of
Mr. Madison, faithful officer, and an unexception-
able man. DIR. Watkins is of elegant talents
and fine literary attachments. Mr.. Lee is highly
spoken of, as gentleman and officer. CfMr. VIM.
b. Lewis we know nothing, except one of the
llero's embarrassing committee, and regular GER
tUcate man in his Tennessee scrapes. Hill and
Kendall OF aents---t the first was author OF
the libel Mrs. Adams, which shocked from its

the accustomed gratitude of tha: reptile.
Our new President appears to have an unconqner-

believe could be matched in The Z. States for de-
hauclIcry, and political deprayty.
The following has the air of truth. we hope that

verify the facts under his proper signature. Thus

From the Democfaic Press
TIE appointment Of S. ID. feghcaa, Esq.
Webavc not, as cur readers know, commented on
the cabinet of General Jackson further than the per
son who is placed there the representative Of Pom
sylvuna. Our opinion Of MIR. Ingham is we'll known.
We have given it repeatedly, with knowledge that
1t would pass under his eyes, and have given Il at
IL time when we supposed those eyes We're scaled in
death. We rot now about to express opinions
but to detail facts, in relation 20 tlis appointment
they have come to our knowledge. It aow generally
known, and since the publication Of Ar. Raldwins
letter generally credited. that tIr. inchan was not
the Pennsylvania whom General Jackson intended
- take into his cabinet. We have good cause to be-
lieve that the Eteren would not have succeeded in OBJ
tanning the appointment of Mir. Tngham, but for
FRAUD which they practlsed upon General JacksOn:-
that fraud is known to General Jackson, and
that knowledge will either cause Mr.. Ingham to he
somewhat difident and circumspGs in the persons he
shall urge for appointment, he in Ill probability |
viii himself, have leave OF absence.
The Fraud being admitted, by some Of the parti- !
cDators, Eowit becalnc known to President Jackson
we shall detail it has been detailed to us. One Of
;ie old stock of Snyder Democrats, i'll Pennsylvania
who very active and efficient in advocating Gen.
Jackson's election days ago went to WASH !
lngton and with the TankncSs which has always cha
racterized :a he told Cen Jackson tIa he regretted
exceedingly the appointment Of Mr.. iDgLatn--not SO
much from lis ncapacity as from his extreme unpo-
pniarity with the Old Democrats of Pennsylvania !
whom he had for years bitterly and angrly opposed.
This being the rst but assTcdiy not the Lass intor-
nation which Gen. Jackson had, to the real stan
ding Of Mr.. Ingham in bis own State, he expressed
little acgcGullty. EIfow that possibly be-" said
Gen. Jackson-''Whuu majority Of the Pcnnsylva-
MIA Delegation preferred his appointment" "Not d
0luorjty General said his friend. eyes my good sir
there were ailt"en Of them. and that is more than
rpaiority, III s room, to urge disappointment" 81
