Yoa have heard sady Of most OF the prominent
appointments ior the CITY Of New York Flow will
they be received Are they such as wal. prove ST.
,istsctory to a majority of the people, even TO
majority Of The parry Sofar as Flour Inspector and
Tobacco Inspector are concerned, they are deemed
good and jliicious selections. The appoin me ut of
Stevens Inspector Of Pots and Pearls is nofavo-
raby received The reasons are that be ~ very
wealthy man, Of 40 political strength. AMI witha Il
brether-in law of Senator Varan. This :, otjsc-
ton has, indeed, much force 'rcause # The time
has already arrived i'll the admloi 'lrat,cn of Gov
Bouck, when the families OF Governor, Senator,
DC. are to enjoy the patronage "f "hce, 20 the *
cluson of much worthier and more c.pibIe men.

relationship TO Varian, ought to have been IN ob
lection to giving him this very lucrative office
Well, there is Mr.. Harbor Master Wil-op. too
he received his appointment because he is n bro,h-r-
such conduct absolutely inexcusable Does Col.
Bouck imagine that the people will tolerate such
papable partiality Was 1t not sufficient to bring
his whole family from Scohare and Schenectady TO
the capitol with him, and give each one an once,
to be supported by the people Was II not enough
to appoint one son his Private Secreiary-a another
son his Military Secretary-a son-in-law Adjutant
General-a nephew his Public MesseDger-but must
ne go on and fill other offices within his gIit, mere
ly because another son wants to be provided Tor
through his brother-in-law 1t is astonishing 1t
is absolutely alarming, that this inordnate lust for
office, should form such conspicuous trait in The
Governors family, and he is so plant and accom-
modatng to crafty them. Indeed, IS Excellen-
cy must imagine that his whole range OF family con-
nexons were included in his eectlon-and they are
numerous, extending in various directions through
out the State.
None OF the applicants from the City Of New York
who had the independence 10 declare themselves
in favor OF Mr. Calhoun for President. IN prefer
Ia Mr. Van Buren,, were successful Swack, Grout.
Conner Douglass Taypan, are Of this unfortunately
prescribed class. ArcularIus, Riell and Beakley,
came within ace OF deceving his shrewd Excel
lency, but he sent to New York tor information in
relation to their conduct on the question OF Chair

agtaed the party in that city, and obtained assu-
sances that they also had been coDspicuously con-
cerned in the late a,temrt to " head" Mr. Van Bu-

There is another circumstance worthy OF note
Although there were more than a hundred OF the
real radical locoocos here soliciting office, not a
single one has been selected. Those only who are
known be faithfully devoted TO the Conservative
interest, obtain the favors. This was decided upon
the very moment the strength OF the legislature was
known by The election of Croswell and Mack, as
State and Senate printers. That gave the Governor
confidence.
The office-seekers, out of the fanny, who have
not already committed themselves, will now under.

the precise ground which they must occupy, iflhey
