this stem. There WINS more than a plausible excuse
for avoiding tho odum. There was Justification, IN
the memorial of the "Whig' merchants "t Whining

prayinp that he might be continued IN oiilce In this
instance the Administration mas ac!ea hcons'stenty
with its superabundant and Overlooking professions of
rrspect for the peope-iha portion Of the people, whose
interest and accommodation should especially have
bean considered in the appointment or dsmssion of a
Collector for the Port Of Wilmington.
.There was evidence from this people-from the po-
it;cni opponcnts of Colonel Marstellur-o his official
rectitudc mpartialty-of his obligng departments
nd of his qualifications as business man. Yet the
Administration, in despite Of this evidence pronounce
the harsh sentence which deprves meritorious ind
vidua and his helpless family of their only means Of
snb,stence So much for the pratings ofliberaty-so
much for the pledges Of the Executive-and so much
for respect for the sovereign people
awe did hope-and for reasons apart from, and un.
connected with any Of the foregoing circumstances,
that Colonel Narsellar would be spared that one SO
frank, feeling, and generous, would be treated
with some hat Of that kindness, and justice, and mag
nanimty which hs deals out to ALL in his intercourse
with society. We did hope, that there is sacred
ness or the fountains of genuine patriotic sentiment
are broken up that there sexistng, supersous and
Evolutionary reverence which hang, every name,

scription.

NEW YORK.

The late incidents in her Legislature are Of a very
stirring description The temporary majority in the
House has been thrown into the hands OF the Democrats
by the absence and sickness oil some of the Wings
and among other consequences Mr.. Root has OBJ
tanned the reconsideration Of his resolutions, af
Ter they had passed the Senate, and then laid them
upon the table These resolutions instruct the Sena
tors to vote for National Bank-and he afraid,
that as soon as they would be sent to the House. they
would there be rejected. On Monday, however, the
WhGs had bee un to raly-some othe abse ntees had
turned t, tie Of the ok had been brought
in-but after all the Democrats still retained the mao-
rty-aud two three ofthe Wings appeared 10 waver-
and one of them, Mr. Scott of tennessee, came for
ward on Monday, and abjured all connection with the
Wing or Federal party This Of course, threw all the
sty into an uproar.
On the cali ofthe Legislature, Gov Seward has sub
mtted to them the whole of the Mcleod Correspond
concentrating % letters from the President, Score
tary Of State British Minister, Secretary Of War, Al
torney General, the Chief Justice of the Supreme
Court, &C. The Governor declares his determination
10 maintain "the rights, dignity and honor of the
State"-He claims, that Mcleod should be tried ac-
cordinq 10 the laws of New York for the offences with
which he is charged against her citizens. The 60
vernon gives rap over his knucklcs to Joshua a.
Spencer, United States District Attorney, who is EN-
ployed by British gold to appear for Mcleod agans,
New York. He submits to Mr. Tyler in oehail
of the people of the State of New York that the
"unseemly aspect is presented of a conflict between
the Federal Government and that of this State, wh'c
not calculated TO inspire confidence among the COM
mon constituents of both in the harmonious relations
and views the two Governments" In reply to this Inc
President says, hat Mr.. Spencer has received no or
ders from this Government TO appear in defence o,
Mcleod" and he shews that Mr. Spencer was reta'heo
prior 10 the date of his commission and that ne mas t
right to appear and practice in the Courts of New
notwithstanding he has commission from the U.
Government. "All this (says the Albany CorrespIno
