POLITICAL ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS SuRPATION
On Saturday, the Senate, on the recommendation
of the Governor, consummated act Of proscrip
ton and usurpaton, which is only equaed BY the ra
pacty of the party that processes all the forbearancr
and all the patriotism in relation TO appointments t"
office.
On that day, Campbell P. White and Prosper NJ
We'psce, Of the city Of New York, were removed
from the office Of Quartermaster General and Paymas
ter-General; and Day o. Kellogg, Of Troy, and
Spencer S. Benedict, of Albany. appointed IN their
places.
Heretofore these appointments have never been re-
garded political appointments The Constitution, II
true, authorizes the removal BY the Senate the
commentator ofthe Governor, ''sating the grounds
on which such removal is recommended but until
now no removal of the incumbents of these Offices has
ever been made.
The agrounds' of removal stated by Gov Seward,
were residence and military usage, claiming that a
change or disappointment followed the accessons of
every new Executive. In both respects the grounds
were shown in an able report by Mr. Foster from the
minority of the military committee and in the speeches
of Messrs Hunter, Paige, Strong, &c, to be atoge
Their riyolons-the subterfuges OF Partzans who
driven TO compliance with the forms of the Constitu
tom while. for the sake of cutching office, they
ready TO violate it's spirit. So far residence was
"aronnd neither of these offices has ever been held
bS anv other than resident of the city of New York.
aud with regard to military usage has never been ex
rected that these incumbents would throw up their
Commission on the accession Of a new Executive,
nor has such been the practice, in single instance,

We have this morning (says correspondent oil the
New York SignalD had an interview with gentleman,
who was al Gen. Harrison bedside when he expired
In the room present two physicians, and young
lady who constantly with tho President during n's
illness. Mr.. Webster walking in the hall; Mr.
Granger stood the door Of the chamber MIR. living
sat al the foot Of the bedsteada French bedsead-and
leaned his head upon the SCROLL not looking mp and
weeping continually Our friend stood near the bed
General Harrison did not speak move after nine
o'clock Just before that hour he uttered brokeny and
eebly these words" wish you to understand The prin
clpes that gorcrn me- wish them carried out: ask
nothing more.
IL will be noticed saws The editor Of the Signal, that
the words in italics differ from what has been repored
but our informant says that he heard the words clearly
as the room was hushed 10 deatl-like repose. They
were uttered he says, not Us if the President imagined
himself addressing his SUCCESSOR but as II lie were III
Cabinet Council and conversng with his Secretaries
From wandering expressions, scarcely audible, ana
previously uttered II was evident that the fres'ueht
mind wandered upon his high dutles-he seemed 70
dream that he discharglng them IN conference WIN
his Cabinet.
This is undoubtedly the true meaning of the last
words of General Harrison. His mind, during tempo
rary periods Of insanity, was evidently IN Inc Caone
in ono of the scenes, so frequently, II wou'u see"
enacted there in which he was feebly and vanly en-
dsayoring TO check the whwlnd course OF the Demon
of the Administration, Daniel Webster. How painful
those scenes must have been, can now, only DC sur,
mscd-never known. Day and night had the OLD sol.
der s,riven to carry the principles which he had
proessed during the political canvass day and n'Sh
had he striven to check the growing desposm OF 40
bespierre-day and night had he struggled with the
Evil Genius whose powers setting his counses a.
naught, and bearing him down like hOod--' att at last
wearied, worn, sick, and dying, he gave up But SO
strongly were these OF sorrow and greet OH ms
mart and SAVAGE barbari,y and cold booded revenge
on the part of the Danlon Ogarchy, impressed upon
his mind that they the last that opened upon ms
wandering senses. Melancholy, most melancholy are
the reflections these facts suggest.
