THE SECRETARY OF WAR.

CINCINNATI, July 17.-On Wednesday evening,
arrived here in the steam boat Gondola from Pitts
burg. Major Eaton and hi, amabe lady, in excellent
health and spirits They expected to pas the night in
Cincinnati but the boat une pecedy proceeded
i-ouisviiie-and, therefore, but by few Of
their friends. This circumstance extremely
as deprived many Of the pleasure Of seeing lady Of
such elegant manners and urbanty of disposition. The
Secretary notwithstanding the immense labor which
he was exposed throughout long session of Congress-
looks we'll and enjoys excellent health. He proceeds
directly on to his seat in Franklin, Tennessee and
poets to return by Cincinnati provided the river is
good boating order. We therefore, hope he will re-
main with us few days, for the qualification of his
friends. lido

Gross hiseoaception-dnd Misrepresentation
The Opposition Prin's have seized upon the following
x'rsct from Speech Of Sir Robert Peel, in the Brit
ish P"riament, in wh' the Minister attempts 10 just
~ the removal Of Gen. King, who happened to ex-
ercise the privilege of an Independent vote:
+" In this country, (Engand) when there was
change OF Government, the removals were generally
co.. fined to those who held high and confidential sta
tions; and all the subordinate officers usually
tanned And, on the contrary, he could Assure the learn
ed gentleman from good authority, that when General
Jackson succeeded to the p esidentia Chair his rst
net was to remove every individual from Office; from
the highest down TO the lowest; the very posinas
tiers. who had been opposed to his interest,"
ed" (Cheers.)
What was gross n,iseoncepfion In Sir Robert, be-
comes gross misrepresentation when repeated by
Opposition prints. They know perfectly WE'LL that tho
President has not removed every individual from Office,
" from the highest down to the lowest" &c.-They
ought to have known, that many of those who have
been rem owed, have been proved by evidence actual
Iy exhibited before the public be removed for good
cause; for ncompetency, default, intemperance, mall
feasance, or msfeasance Of ofce-snd have been
removed in whose there strong grounds
pect that similar reasons might be assgned-They do
not yet know, that any officer has been removed for
mere difference Of political opinion-or the
else OF an Independent vote. To quote Sir Roberts
Speech therefore, in this way IL to lend their sanction
to gross msconce piion Of which they ought to have
been ashamed.

We have seldom seen more power ful appeal to the understanding and feelings than is contained in the follow mg extract from an address delivered by the Hon. John Holmes, of Massa- chusetts, before the members of Saco Lodge.
 "Temperance IS a Masonic virtue. And letlt be held in everlasting renenl- brance, that intemperarce is most fa- tal and destructive vice.
