The Philadelphia Gazette asks why the Presi-
dent paused from the 4th of May--when Mr. Roberts
refused to remove the inspectors who were COM
planned of--till the 10Th Of September We have
had no communication with the President on the sub
ject, and therefore cannot answer the question BY
authority" But we think give sufficient
reason for the delay A factious Senate would have
rejected any that the President could have sub
mitted for his appreciation, as has been exemPlihed
in instances. BY withholding the appoint
ment until alter the adjournment Of Congress, the
President had the power Of filling the place until the
I'd of March next before which time, it is believed
the members of the Senate will be INSTRUCTED in the
wishes of the people, that they will have difficulty
in confirming all proper nominations submitted to
them by the President

GEN. SCOTT vs. CLAY-A SQUALL AHEAD.
We learn that Gen. Scott has written to supporter
of his in this State, and declares that the Wing party
has acted prematurely in the selection Of Henry Clay
their candidate for the Presidency and that he
cogni-es no candidate until NATIONAL con-
shall decide that question. That he has been
requested to Vice President, but under
cumstances will he run for the second Office The
Clay Wings alarmed at the letter, we are told
they were determined to force their party to keep
out of national convention, or they would be again
defeated, and protest against the letter Of General
Scott being published but ii is said further, that the
letter will be forthcoming in few days; certainly
before Clay's visit to this State. This is headng'
