From The N. Y .4urora
THE NAVAL OFFICER.

We insert, with pleasure, the following article
from the Evening Post Of Tuesday afternoon.
We need scarcely say, we fully endorse every part
and parcel of the credit given to the present active
and efficient incumbent of the naval Office in our Gus
tom House.
In every department Of the Government where
great responsibility rests, President Tyers sagacty
IN selecting proper agents to the faithful dis
charge of their duties, has often been remarked upon
by the public press, from the fact that no such thing
as deialcaton has been known since his elevation tC
the Executive chair; and among his appointments in
the city, no one is more satisfactory to the public ge
morally than that of jeremiah Towle, ESQ.,
Descended from line of ancestors well known as
active officers IN our Revolutionary struggle Mr.
Towle has filled various Offices of public rus, in our
city, with great satisfaction to his constituents and the
public generally. We believe we are safe in saving
that the first Office of omolumenl ever filled by any
of Mr. Towe's family is that now held by himself
and we trust that he may receive the confirmation OF
the Senate, and long remain public servant in the
place he now holds with much fidelity to his du-
ties, and urbany to all who have any business with
him officer of the Government.
From the N. Y. Erening Post.
Our Washington correspondent, in our last even.
ings sheet, n,lmaes that the appointments that have
been made by the President TO supply the places OF
the friends of Mr.. Clay removed will not be con.
hrmed by the Senate, and ranks the naval officer OF
this port, and the collector of Boston, &c. as among
this class.
In our opinion, Mr. Towle, the naval officer of this
port, should not under this general rule He
has shown himself TO be an able public officer of
thorough-going business habits.
