One or two friends stepped in on Tuesday to
say that we were IN an error in stating that the
Due D'0RLEANs had ever resided in this country.
We gave our authority at the time, and this MORN
ing add short biography of that distinguished
individual; which, if correct, proves conclusive.
ly that he was once resident Of the United
States, and a school master. We congratulate
the Domino upon his promotion from the rod to
the sceptre. May he remember that, not less as
king than as teacher, he holds his elevation only
for the good Of those over whom he is placed.

A letter from Washington mentions the ap-
pointment of Samuel S. Hamilton. Esq. as Chief
Clerk in the bureau of Indian affairs in the War
Department, to succeed Col. L. L. M'Kenney,
as superintendent thereof Mr.. Hamilton, says
the United States Gazette, is stated TO US to be
a gentleman Of great experience and most cor
rect department in the public service.
Col. Mckinney has been very able and ef-
ficient officer He was in favor Of removal Of
the Indians beyond the Mississippi, but only with
their own consent. He was of course opposed
to the Georgia plan of COMPELLING the Indians
to consent wiYingiy to remove from their homes,
aud the graves Of their fathers. Of course he
has been reformed out of office. Duff Green,
moreover, had told the President in his paper,
that he should be removed.-M Y Com.

II Ca,didae.-As the skeleton representa-
tves about TO make a pilgrimage to Herkimer,
are hard pushed for popular candidate Tor CO.
vernon, we would suggest that there is now a
gentleman at large somewhere in France or rs
environs, who has much leisure on his hands. -
lie undertook to govern upon the Van Buren,
plan of turning out of Office those who voted
against him; and although the Albany system
would not work we'll there experience has shown
the contrary here. Charles Y. would make a
glorious addition to the Albany Regency.

Public Dinners.--The Jackson party are always
railing against MIR. Clay for partaking OF public
dinners; but it seems thy are ready enough for 1t
themselves, whenever they can get one! Major
Eaton, the Secretary at War, has had dinner
in Tennessee, and Mr. Polk, wouldbe-Jack-
son leader in Congress, has also been honored
with dinner in the same state; and though last
not least, the prudish Mr.. Van Buren,. after hay-
ng very modestIy and sghingly declined prof
fered dinnerat Albany,wit the slyness & cunnlng
ola fox has slipped into one at N. York. Show
us a Jacksonite and we will show you the lover OF
a good dinner and one who will eat it too--,che'a
he can get IL! Will the Richmond Enquirer de-
nounce these cornwall meetings around the tes-
tive board as it is wont TO do those in which MIR.
Clay may happen to partake!-" Nous verro''s' .
