RUTHLESS PRESCRIPTION.

Intelligence has reached tins City, en-
tlrely TO be relied on, that Gen. Beverly
Daniel, Marshal OF the District, is about
10 be removed from office, by Mr.. Van
Buren, When We adverted a short time
since, 10 the fact, that the Marshall had
appointed 50 large proportion Of Admin
lstfatlon men, as Deputies, under the Cen
sus Act, we supposed il would be quite Il
feather in his cap, IN the eyes Of Mr.. Van
Buren,. But it seems because he did not
choose all Of them from the ranks OF the
faithful, he Is u be osfyGcised. Ii this b.
not the reason for his removal, we are at
a loss TO conceive one. Ii Is well known,
there never was more faithful Oiiicer.-

purity and wisdom, has left 10 equal be-
hud. But what matters II, that Gen.
Daniel eau boas, Of long life Of faithful
public service, and honorable private re-
pute He is guilty Of the " damnlng sin "
Of exercising his oira judgment, IN the af-
fairs Of his office, and must, for 50 wor-

Jones, Esq. Of this county. 1t i, due to
him to say, that he united IN remoastrauces
