uPiqtaI Tobacco in the middle and Corn al eden en3
of the numerous removals and appointments maze
and announced almost every day OF each week. we oo
serve that of Timothy Upham, as Navy agent al
Portsmouth, in place of John Laighton, removed
Mr. Upham was removed from the ofilce OF collector
of Portsmouth by Gen. Jackson under testimony from
his own hand that he had been engaged extensively III
SMUGGLING during the time of non-intercourse and en-
barge previous TO the last war In addition 10 ts
the term Of nearly twelve years after his removal
ham was defaulter to the Government; and 1t IS only
few weeks 90 that either by himself or his suretes
bis debt TO the u S. discharged under judgment
Of the u S. District Court Upham would unoouol'
edlv have been placed again in the Collectors Office,
had moi the fees Of the Office at that port fallen away
40 as 10 render the place longer desable and be-
aides the independent Treasury law would compel him
N nav over balances fast any thing came to has
hands The Office Of Navy Agent, while he holds it,
will ALWAYS enable him to keep the public money to
his own use if not called by his principal to account
This man was we believe, while the Branch Hank was
kept Up at Portsmouth, invariably Director al lhat
hoard he has failed lately for large amount, and is
utterly irresponsible. 1t is probably on TINS account
"a we'll as 10 reward him for engaging in illegal trade
before he first held the Office of collector, that he has
been selected by the acting President the largest dis
bursting officer of the public moneys IN New Hamp-
shire II would not be greater Outrage upon the peo.
ple of the u S. to recall Samuel Swartwout from Eu.
rope and reinsate him IN the collector once al new
York, than it i. now to appoint Timothy Upham to an
Office where the entire expenditure OF the navy al Forts
mouth is to pass through his hands
The Court paper at Washington, the National Intel
ligencer, in dem official articles from both the Navy
and War Departments, complains, as justification,
for not making few hundred new wing appointments
Of Midshipmen and Cadets at West Point that the late
Administration had been guilty Of filling all vacancies
and that the NEST the Departments could do until the
new Congress passes law authorizing the increase oil
NAVY and Army Officers, (Which they hope will be
sneedilv done j will be to give Cadets warrants 10

lump is pretty we'll for one, although it may be high
family The very poor Mr.. Henry Clay had only two
sons educated at the public expense ct West Point
we never heard that any of the family particularly
dstin gushed himself in the Army after receiving his
education at the expense OF the people
To show how much more greedy at all times for Of
fee and place and for feed from the public crib are the
Federalsts than the Democrats, the records will prove
that in the appointments of both Midshipmen and
Cadets at West Point during the eight years of Gene
raj Jackson and the four years of Mr. Van Buren,, the
SONS of Federalists Opposition men will outnumoer
the sons Of Democrats Even John Prentlss, mat
so long and deeply aggreved for the peponderance
of the Democracy, had his son educated at the public
expense at West Point 1t would be much in the true
character of Daniel Webster and his colleagues to re
move the few of Democrats at West Point
and holding Midshipmen's warrants in the Navy, tina
the cormorant Federalsts might sweep every thing
