Hon. WALTER FORWARD, we understand, re-
tires from the post of Secretary of the Treasury
this day. asd is succeeded by Hon. CALEB CrsH-
INC, of Massachusetts. Mr.. Forward, if we ss-
take not, has long medtated retirement, but
would have preferred waiting till the close OF the
Sscal year. which occurs on the 3Oth of November,
hu, Mr.. TYLER has contrived to make the place too
hot for him. 1t was understood among the Mem

full Mission for each Of them, every thing should
remain as then till Congress re-assembled yet,

Mr. Gushing, who accompanied President lyler
=. the Rip-Raps had obtained lien on the Irea-
sury. Perhaps this is well, yet there are strong

man, AID will make strong Secretary Ii MS
ambition were little more chastened and bounded
by principle we should esteem him more; but US
it 10 we shall not cease TO respect his talents
shoagh we may not admire the use to wh'ca he
APPLIES them. For years he has been coquettng

IN PASSING SUCH A MEASURE
If the Kinderhcok Hermit would only con-
descend TO face the People of his own State when
he has any communication of this sort to make, he
would be acting much more manly part At this
x,ornent, hundreds ef his partisans believe him
friendly to Protective Tariff and recommend
him as such, while mauy of them even boast
(falsely) that the Ncw Tariff 0as saced from
defeat By Siias Wrgats cote! This is for
Northern mem; the above exhibition OF hostility
tOa Tariff was made for the lstitude of Southern
principles Perhaps may get on in this
way, but we greatly doubt it.

choice-thas the candidates are sometimes mon of

way TO remedy all this aad that is to lie, our s,ea-
