Our last intelligence from Washington
corroborates the report that all of the mem
bers of the cabinet except Mr.. Webster
have handed in their resignation upon the
appearance of the 2nd Veto, and that the fol
lowing pesons have been nominated:
Judge John Mclean, of Ohio, to be Sec.
rotary of War.
Judge Upsher,, Of Virginia to be Secreta.
ry Of the Navy.
Walter Forward, of Pennsylvania, to be
Secretary Of the Treasury.
Hugh S. Legare, of South Carolina, TO be
Attorney General.
Mr.Granger,having not resigneda at the SAM
time as the others, we have not learned who
had been nomonated for Postmaster Gener.
al-In the event Of Mr.. Webster's resigna.
tion, it is supposed that Mr.. Gushing will
receive the nomination.

M,LEOD IN

The Dublin correspondent OF the Boston
Post, writes as follows:
The pripats M'Leod.-The decision of the
N. Y, Supreme Court in this case, has given
the greatest satisfaction in Ireland. The
bold tone in which Judge Cowan pronounced
the opinion of the Court has fully answered
the expectations which we formed Of the
citizens of the Republic. England has at
length met a people willing and able to stand
near to her teeth and fling back in s%corniul
defiance her empty threats. What will she
now do? Humble and debased, even in her
own estimation, she must brook the contu-
meIy which she has received, as the just
reward of her insolence.

between Mr.. Wise of Va. and Mr.. Stanly of

Of some offensive remarks made by Mr..

upon the further use of insulting language.

THE NEW AppoRTioNMENT.--At the next
session of Congress one Of the most interest
ing questions as well as one Of the most DIFF.
fcult must be decided, that is what shall be
the ratio Of representation under the census
of 1910? Various ratios from $4,000 to
10000 have been proposed, but the more
general opinion is that 10000 or somewhere
Whereabouts will be the ratio adopted. By
this the whole number of representatives
would be 251; nine more than at present.
The States OF New Hampshire, Connecticut,
Rhode Island, Vermont, Maryland and Ten
nessee, under these ratios, would each lose
one member; South Carolina and Kentucky,
each two; North Carolina three; and Virgin
ia four. The following States would gain
Ohio six; Indiana seven; Illinois four; Michi-
gan two; Mississippi two; Alabama three;
Louisiana one; and Missouri four. The fol-
lowing States, at this ratio. will have left
fractions of over $4,000, Vermont, North
Carolina, Illinois and Mississippi. The small
States will oppose a high ratio, and will 60
for the lowest they can get that will leave
them the smallest fraction unrepresented.-
The following table shows the present repre-,
sentation Of the several sections of the Un-
ion, and what it would be under a ratio of
$1,000 and 10000.

We should have given place TO the com
municalion of Mr.. DRAPER last week, but
for want OF room. We have not now the
time or The space TO add any comments, up
on the hairsplit,ing distinctions OF the new
Postmaster; but this does not prevent us
from giving him an opportunity to defend him.
self against any supposed mputations OF
ours.
Mn. EmToR,
Sir: Nv attention has been directed
10 an Editorial article. in your paper OF the
4th inst in relation to the recent removal of
WV. LUCE. Esq, and the appointment OF
myself, as Postmaster of this place, which
| think calls for some remarks from me in
justice 10 myself, and which | trust you will
do me the justice 10 insert in your mex pa
per. There are various considerations sug-
gested by the perusal Of your remarks,
which, under present circumstances, | do not
consider myself at liberty 10 discuss. Thank
ing you then, for the compliment which you
are pleased 10 bestow on my qualifications
for the office, and passing by without COM
ment the fact, (Which you have mentloued.)
that 4 little over two years since. ! was uncer-
enormously elected from this same office,
without previous notice, or cause OF complI-
ment that | was aware OF, TO make room
for the "respecrabIe Son-in-law Of Col. Rat.
lift Boom" and the reasons for my removal.
when respectfully demanded Of the ?. D.
Department, conlemptuously denied to me.
! shall direct my remards entirely TO those
sentences in relation 10 myself, TO which !
think | have a right TO take some exceptions.
10 the conclusion Of your remarks, you
say, shut if Mr.. Draper is less busy in cleo
pioneering, than his predecessor, we shall be
greatly disappointed. 1.-The is, he must have
changed a little Of late, and improved upon
his former habits"
If in these remarks, you merely intend to
intimate, that as an individual. ! have had
"the mind 10 form an opinion, and the indie
pendence to express it," and have chosen
my own time and manner to do so, and that
this constitutes s.electioneering," then with.
out denying the charge, the only reply !
have 10 make to it is, it is q kind OF vague
attack or charge of"electioneering," against
every individual, whether in or out Of Office,
who shas the independence TO express his
opinions on political subjects, from which |
do not feel called on to defend myself. But
If IN the remarks quoted, you meant TO charge,
that in my "former habits as Postmaster,
| used, or permitted TO be used, my official
station, the facilities or conveniences Of the
Office, for "electioncrring'' purposes, | en-
phatically deny the truth or justice Of the
remarks as applicable 10 me. and challenge
the production of u single fact to justify it.
That I may not be misunderstood as to the
distinction ! make between 'o6fciol election.
eering" and what l understood you to term
selectioneering'" permit me 10 explain a
little.
If were disposed to "electioneer" as Post
master, l think ! could do so much more ef-
h~ciently, even with my lips sealed, were ]
to employ myself and perhaps two or three
deputies in industriously circulating all man.

ton still to preserve the goodwill g. confidence
OF his party. We have ~allusion to those

to give them encouragement. The pecu-

leading question by which theyare governed,
and fearful Of receiving the support of the
other may have induced him in this instance
to act with more caution and reserve, than
would otherwise have become the fearless
and intrepid statesman who acts more from
the impulse Of fright, and patriotism than a fear
oil party indignation. Standing however a
prominent figure in the great field of poli,i.
cal OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES as it were from all
around him with the constitution for his
guide and for his shield it seems hat of all
others, his condition was most TO be desired
to one Of Independent spirit who could brook
the murmurings Of party spirit, and stand
alone unmoved by the clamor of faction
with a consciousness Of being influenced by
the best of motives and of meeting at least
with the appreciation of the high-minded
and generous.
1t indeed was a vain idea for him to sup
pose that he could so far soothe the tumul,
of angry passions which his course had ex-
cited as TO be regarded even with an ordinary
degree Of indulgence. With a knowledge
Of this fact, and with the contempt which
their conduct towards him, must have inspir-
ed, we must acknowledge our surprise at the
halfway stand which he has taken. Their
efforts to render him a plant instrument in
their hands-to urge him on in a course d.
rectly contrary TO that which his old princi-
pies, and his oath pointed out-indicatiug on
their part ''an utter prostitution of moral and
political MISUNDERSTANDING their want of
respect for the man, and their desire only
to render him subservient to their purposes in
his executive capacity. alone should have
excited the blush of Indignation, and should
have induced him to have acted in conformity
with the dictates Of his true and real feel
ings.
Wehave reason however to be thankful
for what he has had the firmuess TO do-he
has our thanks for his independence in the exer-
else of the reto power but beyond that we
have no use for him. 1t is true that his re-
cent conduct is sufficient TO cover a n multitude
of faults, but his approval of the Bankrupt
the Revenue-the odious Distribution bills. &
above all the repeal of Sub Treasury are I'M
pardonab!e sins, and stamp his character
with too dark a stain to suffer his admission
into the ranks Of Democracy. He has per-
mitted his name to be use Tor unhaIIowed
purposes-let him meet with the fate due to
his transgre ssions.
