On Tuesday the nomination. of Mr..
Herrlck, as district attorney for Ohio was
rejected in the U. s. Senate. On Wed.
nesday the vote of rejection was reconsd-
ered-and the nomination lies on the
table. Mr.. Heirick was one of the Jack
son Electors OF Ohm /; the opposition to
MN Is not supposed to he political. The
nomination of Merlin Gordon. as Collector
OF New-Orleans, vice Beverly Chew, re-
moved, is among the confirmed. The
nomination of the Collector of this port
was said to be under discussion on
tuesday, without result-though not with
out strong manifestations of opposition,
and from quarter, as we apprehend, not
anticipated. Although it seems to have
been determined by the Senate, that the
superseding of faithful and competent off,
Gers, by men untried at least, and certainly
not in any respect superiour, is a safe and
proper exercise of executive discretion.
there is, nevertheless, as we are given to
understand, pretty rigid scrutiny insti-
tuted into the character and qualifications
OF the new ineumbents, with settled
purpose, where these are found wanting,
not to permit political services. real or
imaginary, to cloak the deiciency.--New-
York american.
JEFFERsoN's WoRKs. A correspondent
OF the New-York Commercial Advertiser
has furnished the editors of that paper
with numerous striking extracts from the
last volume OF the works of the late Mr..
Jefferson, ofwhich the following is one =
I " Your situation will enable yon to
Judge OF prominent offenders in your State.

pray you to seek them, to mark thea, to
be quite sure Of your ground, that we may
commit no err0mr or wrong, aud iedve the

should be knO,0n that we are determined
to remove officers who are active, or open

! The BANK CASES. Chief Justice
Marshall has pronounced the judgment of
the U. S. Supreme Court, in favour the
Stale of Rhode Island, against several
Banks in this State, who have prosecuted
an action against Alpheus Billings, Sheriff
OF the county, for collecting the Bank tax,
imposed, as they contended, in violation
of their Charters. The right of this State
to tax the Banks under the old Charters,
is therefore fully sustained, and the ques-
ton that has caused so much discussion,
is set at rest.
As a citizen OF Providence we may
regret the result, but as citizen of the
State we rejoice al it. 1t has saved Rhode
Island from shock, had the case been
decided against her, that the next gener-
!. alton would not have recovered from.

VIM. LLOYD GARRISON. This enthu-
siastick yonng philan,hropist has dissolved
his connexion with the Genius OF Univer-
sal Emancipation, and that paper hereafter
is to be published only monthly, by. its
senior editor, BENJAMIN LuNDY. 1t surely
deserved better support. We never had
any fault to find with Mr.. Garrison as a
writer, only that he seemed To think for
time that henevoence and New-England
feeling were idenlically the same. He
has been at the south long enough. how
ever, to find that some virtue may be found
even there. He has been an lnvinclble
champion for the oppressed blacks; and
such he has promised MS to continue.
We wish him success wherever he goes,
or whatever field of action opens 10 him.
