Mr.. Forward, from whom, regularly, the
notification would have come, either was

not allowed to endure long, for, strange 10

Roberts Of bis dismissal. Now we shall
be glad to know why, if Mr.. McCulloh be
the proper officer 10 inierpose on the tenth,
Mr.. Forward should do the same duty on
the 18th or l3th The only inference We
can draw from this state Of facts is, that on
the tenth, when Mr.. McCniIoh's letter was
written, Mr.. Forward, who was not alb
sent, was unwilling to sanction the prcsi-
dents order, but lliai. since il had been
found necessary to compel his acquies-

Tie work is couSummated at length,
and Jonathan Roberts has been dismissed
from the Office of Collector of the Port OF
Philadelphia, in spite of the Senate Of the

of Philadelphia. So soon as Mr.. Tyler
could &c; clear of the regulating power Of
the Senate, he goes 10 work 10 do an act
which he knew that neither the Senate nor
the people would approve.
But why has Jonathan Roberts been re-

MR TYLER AND JONATHAN ROBERTS
In preceding columns we have gwen
Mr.. Roberts Statement to the Public rela-
tive 10 his removal from the Custom House
at Philadelphia. Our readers will recoI'
lee, that It was stated early in the year
that the President had attempted to cause
certain individuals to be removed from the
Philadelphia Custom House, not because
they were incompetent or that they were
ncddlng in politics, but because they were
suspected OF iavoring certain lnd'vldu'
al" for next President. Mr.. Roberts re-
sisted this attempt of the President aud
continued to attend 10 the duties of his or
fee until after the adjournment of Con-
cress. The seats of Senators had hardly

opinions expressed some years ago, was
