SIGN TO throw dust into the eyes Of the people II states
the new appointments but in some cases II does not
name the reasons for making them. Here are the APP
pointments but the vacancies Are they by death,
RESERVATIONS or removals. Here the nominees; but
who are the remorees9 They in many cases thrown

removals that are made and the prescription that IS al

NEW FORMULA rs OFFICIAL ANNOl NCEMEATS.
aIhe National nteliGencer OF tins morning contains
the preceding list Of appointments, without the decapl-

"This is not in conformity with the accustomed mode
of giving information to the public. II has been here
tofore announced in the Globe that Mr. Lucas former
Governor of Ohio was commissioned as Governor
of Iowa by President Van Buren,. How he has been
disposed of does not appear from the ohciai no'hcu

public should have been notified
"To he serious, however, must say that there IS
only explanation TO be gwen OF thus mover sof oil o

position of the old ncumbents, because those IN power
who pledged against prescription, wish 10 con

whatever else his calling. The Salem Register, in an
article which copied the other day. extos the secre
cy with which the present Cabinet conducts the public
business. This is natural in the organ Of the Essex
Junto and Hartford Convention Fedealiss Will II suit
the genius of the Republicans, who have been duped
into the support of Harrison by professions of Jefferson
Democracy to see the Government turned into in
QUESTION, and measures secretly concoced and carried
prescriptions covery resolved on and executed,
and not even a notice 10 the public Of what has been
done so privately II should be remembered that Gen.
Harrison pledged himself in his published letter to
Harmar Denny that in of his election, he would
remove no man from office without assigning the
causes for the removal at the nomination of his sue
So far from publishing the of removal
the attempt here is to conceal the removal itself We
restore the usual mode of official announcements and
fill the blanks in that of this mornings National lnte
