Mr.. Webster has at length resigned the Office
of Secretary ofStaLe. and Mr.. Hugh L. Legare
Attorney General of the U. States, is appointed
to be acting Secretary of State for the present
Fletcher Webster, (the son or DanieD has
been appointed Secretary of the Legation to
China.
| Mr., Edward Everett, our present minister TO
the Court of st. James has declined the appoint.
ment of Minister and Commissioner to China.
| Caleb Gushing. (Mr. Tyler's Auctioneer) has
been appointed Minister and Commissioner to
| China, and has already received $500. 90;
| which is SO much made out of his devotion to
the Captain" whether the Senate SAM lions the
! appointment or not.
1t has been said of Mr.. Tyler that his situation
must be the happiest imaginable, for he has Just
offices enough for his friends and friends enough
for his Offices.
When the law authorizing and cfeating this
mission to China was under discussion in CoEs
gress, it was foreseen that Mr.. Tyler would
sndeaVor TO make the appointment to hisstation
subsidiary TO his own political purposes, either
In purchasing some venal but influential politi-
clan, or in rewarding some of the unprineipled
clique who had air eady enlisted in his service
To prevent this prostitution of the Presidents
power OF appointment, in bestowing the high. ct
and most important offices within the rift oftbe
government, as brides to political dishonesty or
re"aFda for open Proaigacy. the law was enact
ed with the following remarkable clause attach
ed:
"And provided further, that no agent shall he
sert by virtue of this act. unless he shall have
been appointed by and with the advice and con-.
sent ofthe Senate"
II this clause was designed to have any force,
Its meaning 10. that no man can be sent to China
according to this law. whose appointment is not |
nrst approved by the Senate. 1t was to prevent
the bestowai of the mission upon such a man as |

COMPLIMENT TO MIR. CLAY
FROM AN OPPONENT.

we copy from the Chaflestnn Mercury, the
leading organ Of Mr.. Calhoun. the following
honorable and meritcd compliment TO Mr.. Clay.
When party spirit runs a. high as i Goes now,
political opposition becomes Of SO rancorous
nature that 20 attract the compliments of 90
jealous an opponent as the Editor Of the Mer-
curry, whilst il evinces his own ibe rality is one
Of the most striking evidences. that can be Offer
ed, Of the noble and exalted qualities. which
distinguish the illustrious individual upon
whom this tribute ofpraise is bestowed.
"If we cannot lave Southern State Rights
man-if John G.. Calhoun, by going upon the
forlorn hope oftruth, is politically dead upon
the ramparts, like gallant steed fallen In the
front ranks-borne down and trampled upon
by the rear-and can only hope for justice from
those who shall look upon these disjolnted
times with the eyes of posterity-if, for disin-
terestedness above, and political sagacIty be-
yond the age, he is to be sacraficed martyr
to principle-at least call upon US to support
some man worthy of an enthusiastic trust.
Give us man of some noble traits, bold,
brave, gallant, high minded man Of genius,
who, though we see his political errors, we
can assure ourselves can de nothing mean
Give US such man for instance as Henry
Clay. He would have our respect, our admi-
ration--Not of solitary chieftain heroism--Oh.
no! but of kind not at all related to the hum
bug family. We would not throw ourselves
into the arena for his support, but we would
not quarrel with the Northern Wings for
offering such man for the suffrages of the
opposition. We tell the Northern Wings he
is the only man on whom they can rally con-
quering party, unless the people come more
suddenly to their senses than we have right
to expect, and at once do themselves the honor
of rendering justice to the FIRST man in the
country"

The following letter will bo read with inter.
character, and his motives Of action. Gen.
Van Rensselaer, received from Gen. Harrison
the appointment of Post Master, at Albany, for
his distinguished services to his country. His

venerable patriot, and n Dne gave more univer-
TYLER, whose whole life has been but series
of false pretension and political treachery, to
discard from the.,public service, one whose mer'
its and age. gave him strong claims upon his
country's bounty. Gen. Van Rensselaer, had
too high sense OF honor, and of the Dig
nifty! of his character to consent TO become a
pander to T!ler's unprincipied schemes of
proAigacy and corruption, and no -was conse-
quently dismissed to make room for more pill
ant tool But what aggravates the baseness
ofthe act is that Mr.. Tyler owes all his present
accidental importance to the part which Gen
Van Rensselaer, acted in procuring his nomi-
nation for Vice President.

GUNS AND GnNpownEn-.T

GUNS AND GuNPowDER.-The
power accumulated within small space
of guDpowder, is well known vet
some OF its effects under peculiar cir
cumstances are so singular, that an at
tempt to explain them may perhaps be
excused. liza gan is loaded with q
ball it will not kick so much as when
loaded with small shot ); and among
the different kinds Of shot, that which
is made the smallest causes thePgreatest
recoil against The shoulder. A gun
loaded with quantity of sand, equal
in weight to charge OF snipe shot,
kicks still more. II, in loading, a
space is left between the wadding and
the charge, the gun either recoils yio-
lently or bursts. If the muzzle of the
gun has been accidently stopped I'D
With clay, or even with snow, or if It
De hred with IFS muzzle plunged into
the water, the most certain results that
it bursts. The ultimate cause Of these
inconsistent effects is, that
every force requires time to produce
US eject; and if the time requisite for |
inc elastic vapor within TO force out
the SIDES OF the barrel. is less than that |
Ia which the condensation of the air |
nearer the Wadding is conveyed in suE
1clent force to drive the irnpediment
rom the muzzle, then the barre m,.,
burst. Il sometimes happens thai ,hs
barrel only swells. the obstacle givinr
way before the gun is actually burst.
