we doubt not Indeed il has been so stated
to us) 10 be found 10 the stubborn honesty
with which be adheres to his political SEN
timents Mr.. McIniire was formerly, for
several years. and we believe still IS, the
President Of the Common Council 10
Washington, a situation in which we pre-
sumo he held more influence than the
Kitchen were pleased TO see possessed by
political opponent.-"But" the Inielli
geneer remarks "the manner of the re.
moyal is the most extraordinary. The
Patent Office every one knows, is un
der the direction and control Of the Sc
cretary Of State. The Clerks are, in fact,
the Clerks in bis office. whose appoint
ment is in his hands. But the President
Of the United States himself has in person
made this appointment, without so far as
is known, consulting bis new Secretary Of
State at all on the subject The late Sc
cretary of State. il is well understood, was
frequently importuned to make this same
removal, but peremptoriIy refused. His
successor seems TO have been spared the
trouble either Of refusing or complying.
At least, so says "the Spy" and so says

We have hear d much OF the Doctor

"lIere follow the extracts from the
Spy"
Since the adjournment of Congress,
nothing has turned up here, except
little occurrence in the reform line,
which is as wanton, as it is preiudicial |
o the public interest. 1t is this: on
tuesday the President sent for Mr..
;raig, the Superintendent of the Patent
Office, and told him he must remove

usly called Doctor Mayo) in his

tendent could get. The disconsolate
ID man was obliged to repair 10 his Of
ce. and execute the Generals orders.
This Mayo is a person who has been
angling upon the skirts of the Jackson
'arty for several years. When the |
ioxious plant of Jacksonism sprung up
n the land, to poison the wholesome
air, it found congenial spirit in this
man. He embraced il with all the
force Of natural affinity. He COM
menced the publication of a paper to
support it. The paper was worthy
the cause, and the moral stamp of the
publisher. After continuing it for ii
few months, he abandoped it, and came
here to claim his reward. He rcceiv

erating.) From this, for a sufficient
reason, he was soon transferred to
situation in the Pension Office. He
was dismissed from this, and then
worked his way into the Land Office.
From this he was also dismissed, or
forced to resign. He was then, for
some time, at large, until he induced
the President to provide for him in the
Patent Office, as already stated. His
delinquency must have been great to
forfeit his previous places, under the
present administration. His incompc-
tency is the least of his demerit. Yet
such is the sort of animals that in.
tiuence the Chief Magistrate, and for
whose support and qualification, offices
are prosttuted, and the public interest
trodden under foot.
