Cus,c,n Esouse Changes.

Eight or ten more Wings were removed from
Our Custom House last Saturday. and their places
supplied by the bitterest Loco Focos. Major Jo.
Hopkins, whose groggery has been the head quar-
ters of Dorr and the recruitng-station and arnory
of Dorrisln, has been appointed to the responsible
and lucrative post of Measurer, from which he was
elected on the first incoming of the Wings. He
then made some complaint Of Prescription, when
Wing brought US from the Custom House the
data to show that the gentleman had been absent
from duty about onc-thtrd Of the time he had been
drawing high pay from the Treasury for serving
the Country. His duties now will doubtless be
maialy discharged in the capacity cf drll-sergeant
for Tammany, as in the good old days of Van Blu
renis,n, wlea it was openly declared TO be
of the duties of an ohice-hoder to be an efficient
partisan.
Oh Mr.. Webster Mr.. Webserl why aont
people see that John Tyler is frst-rate Wing
Why wont they let the Wing effice-holders keep
their places7
"All is restored !" exclaimed Napoleon, when
ho had replaced the French throne on the ruins OF
the Revolution, and placed himself upon it. Yes,
Sire" sadly answered an old Republican," all
ing it!
I' JOHN A. LOTT of Brooklyn was yesterday
nominated for State Senator by the Loco-toco
Convention Of this District. Mr.. Lott is
shrcwd, scheming lawyer of fair personal cbarac-
ter, heels over head in Banks, Stocks and specu-
laton, and at heart just about such Il Loco-Foco
as David Hale or Nick Bddle. A great noise
was made abost putting on Mechanic ter this
place, and Mr.. WrLL1AM H. Peck, the President
of the last Autobiography State Convention, was
proposed aud urged but ho never had chance
with the knowing enes and distuaced the
first heat. SO Hurrah for John a. Lott the 're-
gular' candidate, and down with all 'Dsorgani
zers = Vive la Humbug
~ ARCHIBALD L. LINN OF Schenectady, has
been unanimously selected as the Wing candidate
for Congress from the Sx,ccnth District, COM
posed of the Counties OF Saratoga, Schenectady,
Fulton, AID half OF Hamilton He received 81 of
81 votes on the first informal ballot. We rejoice
that Mr. Linn is reneNnated, as he will now be
called TO meet aud re!ute in every part of the Dis
trict the gross misrepresentation of the Argus &
Co, accusing him of hostility to the Tariff because
he could not consent to the surrender OF the Land
DisSribution at. the nod of the Execurve,-of his
eleciaon there can hardly be u doubt.
Ds tho Tyler papers in Ohio and every
other State where Electionssare pending with the
especial organ at Washington arc doing their very
worst to secure the triumph Of the Loco.Foco can,
didates. And yet Mr. Webster is amazed at the
presumption Of those who declare that John Tyler
has ceas6d TO be Wing

sarded as MIR. Webster 5 peculiar organ and which
has certainly defended his course in the main, Sc
