perceive it stated that Amos Kendall was APP
pointed Postmaster Of the City Office in this Dis
trict; but although Amos proclaimed about, and
throughout the city, that he had the promise Of this
post from President Polk, there was a very good
and sufficient reason why he should not have been
appointed, and that was the fact that the Senate
would not have confirmed him; and of this Col.
Polk was fully aware; SO that was not very likely
he would appoint, or promise to appoint, man,
who, as he knew, would not be confirmed. All
doubt has, however, been removed from this ques-
ton by the appointment Of 0. k. Gardner to the
City Post -0ffice-(Mr Gardner was formerly sixth
Auditor in the Post Office Department, ,)-thus all
hopes of Amos Kendall's have been npped in the
bud, and he must look our for something else; and,
perhaps, out OF the multitude of offices can be
found which will satisfy the omen-finder OF the
age, and which will probably induce Hague, the
astrologer, to seek for his reward for prognostl-
eating Colonel Folks success.
Mr.. Penrose, the Solicitor of the Treasury, has
also been removed, and Seth Barton, of New Or
leans, has been appointed in his place. Mr.. Bar
ton is an able man, better writer than speaker,
an indefateable democrat, and thorough going
advocate Of annexation He is considerably
known the author of a series Of communica-
tons published in the Richmond Enquirer" or
various political subjects, over the signature O.
Randolph OF Roanoke
Mr.. Wright is the person who has been appoint
ed Navy Agent at Boston, and not General White,
OF Maine, as was rumered and wrote All the
regrets and dissatisfaction, therefore, which were
gentleman, were completely thrown away and
wasted. What pity
There is a rumor here in pretty extensive crcu-
lation. that Mr.. w J: Brown, member Of the
late Congress from Indiana, isto be appointed chief
clerk by Mr. Washington, in the Auditors Office
in the p. O department it was also rumored that
he was to be appointed to some post in the law Of
is anything more @ than % rumor | there % are ss clerks clerks
employed in this Auditors Office in the p o. de-
partment, and great number are wings, of whom
it Is said Mr.. Washington will make clean sweep
and replace them with democrats.
There is also another rumor, and which seems
from various circumstances to be very likely true,
which states that Mr. Ellsworth, the commissioner
OF patents, is to be removed to make way for Mr..
Burke, of New Hampshire, the author of the ia
nous Rhode Island report presented TO the last
Congress.
The question OF switch is to be the organ," If
the chances appear to be increasing in favor oi The
Globe. Great efforts are undoubtedly being made
to have this paper Tor g the organ" and pains
will be spared to accomplish this object. 1t seems,
too, to be quite probable that inducements may be
found by whlchMr. Blair may be persuaded to leave
the editorial chair, 30 that the administration may
be relieved from the embarrassment which would
beca used if he were to be retained after the exh-
btion of the course which he pursued last summer
and fall. IT this should be accomplished, and new
men put at Its head, it is highly probable that it
you'd obtain the printing from both branches of
Congress; while If Mr.. Blair should be retained,
and the Globe made "the organ" most determn.
ed effort would be made by the Southern section,
which would probably end in defeating the appoint
to the Intehigencer, while the Calhoun section
would look upon the appointment Of Blair editor
OF the "oigan," TO be practical endorsement of
his and Mr.. Benton's course, by the President and
open war think. therefore, that it is very proba-
BILE Blair will be persuaded to retire, or, if he will
not, that a new "organ" will be started.
perceive that the tact of Mr. Dallas not leaving
the Chair of the Senate to enable that body TO ap-
point presiding ofcer pro tenn, is going the rounds
OF the press with various comments have ascer-
tanned that Mr.. Dallas did this purposely, because
Mr.. Woodbury. had been agreed upon by the demo-
cratic members, and would have been appointed
Chairman pro tenn. told you, some days prevl-
Gus TO the adjournment of the Senate, that no nom
nation would be made at that session, for the va.
for the Eastern District Of Pennsylvania: have
l'arned slnce that very probably Mr.. Vice Pres-
dent Dallas, or Mr. Secretary Of State Buchanan,
Senate. Mr.. Dallas saw inst if he were nominated,
and Mr. Woodbury. appointed Chairman pro tom
the latter would. IN that event, be placed IN the po
sitlon OF acting Vice President, and, as this did not
suit his views, he would not leave the chair, and
SO prevented the election OF Mr.. Woodbury.. Mr..
Woodbury. is a sterling democrat, and thorough
free trade man, and has always served the party
well and faithfully, having been one Of it's main
stays IN New England, and this action OF Mr.. Vice
President Dallas Is another cause, adding to the
already great discomfort among the democratic
party, and tanning into blaze the already heated
embers of dissatisfaction, for it is openly charged
upon Mr. Dallas, that his whole conduct in the
Senate has been more that OF a Senator from
Pennsylvania, than that Of the Vice President OF
the United States. Folks here say that Mr.. Dallas
ought 10 have sufficient sense ct his position to
know that he should entirely disconnect himself
from his State," and remember that he is the
Vice President of the Union, not Senator from
Pennsylvania. Mr.. Woodbury., understand, also
has declined, with some one or two other men,
bers, TO receive the mileage which Mr.. Vice Pres-
dent Dallas has awarded to the Senators for con-
s,ructlve journeys TO and from their respective
States. This act of Mr.. ID. Is is openly and un-
sparngly condemned here as q most profgate
penditure OF public money, and Mr.. Woodbury.,
with his colleague, Mr.. Atherton, and the few
others who would not receive this constructive
travelling money, deserves the thanks Of the peo-
pie tor their conduct.
There ls very pretty struggle going on IN the
Cabinent between the Buchanan and the Dallas in
fuence. Buchanan wants TO have men appointe0
to office in that State, who will further his aspra
tions to the Presidency, while the Dallas inuenos
is for the appointment Of others who will add L.
the already extensive power Of that family and Its
connections In that State, which also the object
Mr.. Dallas proposes TO accomplish by his action IN
the Senate, which has been studousy and will be
directed to the end Of gaining popularity, influence
and power in Pennsylvania.
1t will thus be seen that Mr. Polk has not sue
ceeded as he thought he had, in keeping the ques-
tion OF the succession out of the Cabinet, and
opine, therefore, that Mr.. Buchanan will probably
n nj ed IN he o(f Snpvo Epnr IN
order to put him on the shelf and make the course
clear. II appears to be growing more and more
evident every day, that Mr. Polk will have TO act
as II he were keeping his own reelection in view
IN the removals and appointments, so as to keep
down these cques during his administration, and
this very action will most probably, eventuate in
his being compelled to accept the nomination for
second term.
