The President has appointed Secretary Of
State for Michigan, Stevens r. Mason, son of the
late Secretary, John I. Mason. This Young gen

having repaired to Washington, young Mr.. Mason
is actually Governor cx-of1ico, and ad interim, of
the Territory Of Michigan! This proceeding has
been viewed with much, and natural indignation, by
the Michigan Public. A public meeting called at
Detroit, ccnsures it in unmitgated terms.

of August 2, from the interchangeable Henry Banks
of Virginia, but, those who know him. will not
be surprised to hear that as he was talking about
himself and Philo Jackson, he forgot TO mention
how the first days election resulted. AprOpoS:
Mr.. Banks says he warmly demonstrated with our
learned Contemporary upon his pronounciug Jack

with his usual selfcomplacency, he oscribes the
tremendous summersett thrown by Richie soon
after, entirely to the virtue Of that remonstrance!

Kendall should be rewarded with an office of $4,000

The Detroit papers contain the report of some
vigorous proceedings which have taken place in
that city IN relation to the appointment of younp
Mason, minor, to the Office of secretary OF staff,
Tor Michigan Territory. At large meeting con
Vcned tor the purpose, committee was appoint
ed TO inquire into the matter, who reported
that Mason frankly confessed his being under ape.
ami consequently incapacitated to assume the
fupctIons ofhis office. At subsequent adjourned
meeting the same committee reported a memorial
to the president, couched in terms of Indignation
demanding the immediate removal of the incum
bent from his Office. The young man, it appears
was formerly clerk in the department of which he
is now the head7 and in the inferior capacity
his duties wore performed by another.-His father
who is brother in-aw to the post-,nastor-ycneral
held the Office of secretary until receut transfer

nineteen, succeeds him. The office corresponds to
that of Lieutenant Governor. Truely the lad COM
