Posf Master af Peferxhrra

In commenting Saturday, upon the unwarrant-
able removal ofDr. Minge as Postmaster at Pc.
tersburg and the appointment Of VIM. N. Friend,
Esq. as his successor, we observed in conclusion
that Mr.. Friends was mo doubt good appoint
ment."
We have, since this remark was made, received
information from an accredited source In Peters.
burg, which induces us to withdraw it, and upon
the authority of that information. which we do not
feel at liberty to dsbelieve, to express the opinion
that the appointment Of Mr.. Friend was if posi-
bic, moro unwarrantable than the removal of DIR.
Minge. Each is wrong (f what is stated of
Mr.. F. is true) to tine people, and a disgrace to
Mr.. Polk,wh was in full possession, endorsed by
some Of his own party friends of all the facts.
Mr.. Polk is a copyist, and like all :he tribe,
copies the faults ofthose he initiates and not their
merits. With none ofhis strength, he is endeav.
oring 10 draw the bow of Jackson, and with none
ofhis nerve flor he is but milk sop) to dare the
outragcs which Jackson committed The result
will be another break neck tumble Of this rash
modern Pheton into the River Pol
