nom the report of the principal assessors, j.
obviously inaccurate from the following con
slderations: lst A considerable portion of the

ed are necessarily excluded. 3dy. The many

The same territory, exhibit in some counties

western parts ofthe State. How it happens,
ehat !" some few of the eastern counties, where
ms presumed titles to lane are fixed, aud their

II The u. 5. Telegraph, always eager to
justify the conduc, Of its masters, says iha, the
number of custom house officers was not dou-
bied at New York. until it was satisfactorily
shown to Secreta ry Ingham, that such an in
crease was absolutely necessary by the repre-
sensations, among others, of the Surveyor of
the Port, (Mr. Noah. We do not doubt this,
in the least. But, the question asked of the
defenders Of the administration is not, " If an
addni onaI number Of officers ,cere necessary ?"
bu, why were they sol They have given the
question asked them the go-by. by answering
one which was not asked. All part les admit
hat il tca, necessary TO increase the number Of
officers. The reason of thus increase, however,
is the point which information is required
Is itnot that the Collector and Surveyor, aud
their subordinales, who have superseded the
old officers. are entirely unacquainied with
their duties , Reform, in this case, seems TO
be any thing but improvement.

gIT NJ Noah's remark. on the occasion Of
the defeat ul his party in " little" Delaware, II
year or two since, that he could put the
whole state in his breaches pocket" has been
frequently quoted. He, OF one Of his co.edi-
tor, has consequently fallen marveously in
love with the idea, and in his last paper, en-
deauored TO improve on il. After abiding TO
the recent elections in Mary land, &c. he says
" The coalition console themselves with little
Rhode Island, and hitler Delaware. We could
almost hide these States in an oy ster shell in
the Park" By this lame effort, the humor OF
the first expression is entirely neutralized. 1t
is IA misfortune that Noah, in nomlnally relir.
ing from the corps editorial, could not treat the
offspring OF his brain as Addison did his Sir
Roger de Coverly-kll them himself to saw e
them from being uichered and mangled by
others.

to the Office of Printer TO the Convention, in
