REMOVALS AND APPOINTMENTS.

Within .,he last few days, several changes have
taken place in diplomatic lists, and in the Geneml
Land Office To such changes, the whole people Of
the country have long been mpatently looking and
will say amen Nothing has recently happened which
has dlfused general JOY throughout the ranks OF
those who conquered the office-holders in the late
struggle, than these changes, few though they be
The Land Office has notoriousy been infested by a
most obnoxious mass of locofocosm. 1t required
thorough reform. For example: there conspic-
uous character who while he held Office, had habitual
" written for the Globe, presided the delibera-
tons of Jacobin club in this city, and loved his bot
tie quite as well as his duties. Others notori-
ously incompetent and worthless. Thanks to Mr..
Huntington for all that he has accomplished Well
done, good and faithful servant" were words yester
day upon the lips of every Wing and Conservative
For every censure he may hear he will receive
thousand pauds from patriotic men in every part of
the land, and the people win wish there more
Huntingtons in power.
The Globe recently contained an attack upon Judge
Huntington, from Wing paper in Indiana. The
South Western Sentinel, Opposition journal pub
shed at Evansville, Ind in noticing the denunciatoy
article, says:
The Courier denounces the appointment " osten-
siby, because better men of the Wing party might
have been found; but in reality because, as have
reason know the editors Of the Courier at per-
sonal enmity with him. and this, because the Judge
has been weak and corrupt enough 10 succomb
to their dictation The appointment Of Judge Hun
ngton to say the least, will suit the people of this
State, as well as that of any other Wing"
We presume the Globe win admit that a set off
from such authority leaves the Judge in stat quo ante
bellum.
