 Thus it will be seen, that already the Cabinet, as Stiginally anneunced---for under the new order of lhings the Post Master General is to be member of k---in one respect changed. Mr. MLeaD, too honest a.,d independent to suffer the immense patronage of he Post Office Department to be devoted to the Purposes of party while under his controu has been pro,oted out of the way, and Mir. Barry appointed in AN so think favorably. Apart from his having been a waru partisan of Gen. Jackson and the personal as we'll as political enemy of Henry Clay, we think the Appointment judcions He is the Professor ot
 Jaw ia Pennsylvania University, alawycr ofemInence n his own state and of decided talents and industry n, will be recollected that at the last August election s. Kentucky, he was the unsuccessful Jackson candi- Bate for Governor.
 R Mr. Pope, too, is lawyer of high standing; has a humber of times been the competitor of Mr. Clay for
 seat in Congress, but of course always unsuccessful; ad at the late presidential contest was one of the most zealous par,isans of Gen. Jacksonnot that he loved Jackson but that former hatred to Clay still Fapklcd in his bosom, and he wished only for an op- ortunily to give vent it. In Kentucky, while such
 marty existed, and while he was opposing MT. Clay, Alr. Pope was considered fedesalist.
 Mir. Campbell, of Ohio, the Jackson candidate or Governor in that state, but was also defeated.- Cerily, he now has his reward. It was announced a short time since in the governmental organ---tha Blink of purity and decency and modesy the Tele- arapl--.that Jackson should reoard his friends and bsnislt his enemies" So far as regards the former, he appears determined to act up to the dctation Remains to be seen how much and how far he will < punish his enemies"
 # Since the above was in type, long string of ap- pointments of Surveyors and Collectors of the Gus oms, Registers and Receivers of Land Offices, GSc. has comc to hasd. We have only room to state that gNoah A. Phelps, of Hartford, is appointed Collector 5 of the Port of Middctowm, and Wm. H. Ellis Coec- tor of the Port of New-Hasen.
 T Thomas P. Moore, of Kentucky, Hate Repre- sentative in Congress has received the appointment of Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotensiary to Colombia, in the place of Gen. Harrison, recalled. Really, the President is finely srewarding' his Ken lucky friends.

 The preceding extract is from communication ad- dressed by Gen. Jackson the Legislature of Ten nessce, in ls25 upon resgning his seat in the Senate ofthe United States. account of his having been pomnated for the Presidency. How well it corres- ponds with his own practice, let facts speak. How precisely illustrates the consistency of tIe Pre- sient, let his recen, nominations prove. Messrs. Ea- ton, Branch, and Berrien were all at the time of their nomination members of the Senate; Mr. tpgham was A member of the House of Representa,ives; Mir. Van Barren had been out of the Senate but about two months, not 1.-two years;" and Mir. Chandler's time in the Senate had expired only days previous his appointment. The remarks of the General were intended to bear upon the appointment of MT. Clay, who was at that time Representative in Congress. as Secretary of State. But how admirably do they recoil, and "Kck the owner over."
