Foreign Appointments The Administration
ana the Opposition
The Hartford Times, following up the course
adopted by the organs of that section of the democ-
racy, says that Mr. Polk has been very unfortunate
in his appointments 10 office, referring particularly
the appointment Of Louis McLane 10 fill the office
Of English Minister. made vacant by the recall OF
Mr.. Everett These mutterings OF discomfort are
very significant.
The Van Buren, men are evidently not In good hui
NOR. Poor Mr.. Polk finds il as hard to- please them
as the drummer found it impossible to satisfy the
Irish soldier-no matter where he applied the lash
In obedience to his request, the fellow grumbled as
much ever. The appointment of Marcy did not
please them,-the appointment of Mr.. Lawrence
does not please them,-and now they are quite
exasperated at the appointment of Mr.. McLane.
Not content with expressing discomfort these and
other appointments, they begin insnuate that Mr.
Polk has not KEPT faith with them. II is asserted
that the appointment Of Eli Moore, as Surveyor, was
IN direct violation of promise TO give that Office to
Mr.. Blocker. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
sy attacksand all sorts of dissatisfactions, -wil,
DISAPPOINTMENT and chagrin, are now manifesting
themselves in the ranks of the Van Buren-Wright
democracy. Even in their journals we see the hos.
ME feeling oozing forth, every now and then.
We will have plenty Of storm and tempest by and
by. The clouds are gathering, and on the meeting
Of Congress the grand conflict of the elements will
commence Thus ever fumes and SINNERS the po
htical cauldron.
Bubble, bubble,
Toll and trouble.
CoLLEcroRsHIP OF THIS PoRT-Mr. Lawrence, 1t
L.. Il L-xL l. L r
merly held-he presidency of the State Bank and
the chamberlaincy of this city--in order that he
may be able to devote his whole time to the duties
of the relationship This is all right He will now
enter Office untrammelled by any other ties or any
other interests, and will be able give his whole
time and energies to the certainly not very trihing
or unimportant duties of his new station. He will
truly have enough to do The collectorshp is no
sinecure His troubles will only begin after the 4th
Of July. What will he do! Will he remove many
from Office? What selections will he make to fill
the vacancies!
The movements which ended in the resignation
removal of MIR. Van Ness and the appointment of
Mr.. Lawrence, originated with the offce-beggars of
this city, numbering probably many thousands.
They will now be most clamorous for Office, and
never will be satisfied until Mr.. Lawrence makes a
general sweep in the Custom House at present
organized. They are even already beginning in
the various wards to get up petitions and commence
agitation, for fear Mr.. Lawrence should not make
the removals that are expected. If Mr.. Lawrence
do not satisfy those ravenous beings who were in
srumenta in the late agitation, they will organize
the same materials against him which did such ser.
vice in the case of Governor Van Ness. Verify,
this collectorship is no sinecure: In the present
state Of the democratic party in New York and with
four five thousand Office -beggars, always hungry
and in state of eternal agitation, Collector here
can escape the dyspepsia.
LrBELLoUs ADvERTIsEMKNrs-Weha have been very
much amused during the last few days by the diff
Guilty into which some of the editors have got in con-
sequence Of their advertisers, particularly the adver
Using DOCTORS libelling each other in their columns
We thought that some such result would take place
as that we have just from the police reports.
Many months ago we were troubled and annoyed by
several OF these advertising doctors quarreling and
fighting among themselves, and making use of our
columns to libel each other. We ended the annoy
ance very speedily, however, by at once excluding
all parties from our advertising columns. We gave
perfect liberty to puff and prise their commodi-
ties as much as they pleased but did not suffer them
to attack each other allude in any way to their
rivals DR.. Comstock, for instance, is privately a
very quiet citizen but in consequence ofgetting into
these quarrels and dificultieswe obliged to ex-
clude him from columns for some time, together
with several others This is, indeed the only re-
medy for newspaper proprietors in such cases.
The DOCTRINE OF REpRrsALs.-The Courier and
Enquirer of yesterday, contains sensible article
apparently FROM some contributor-commenting on
the recent declarations Of the Washington Union,
relative to the treatment of foreign vessels, sailing
under letters of marque issued by Mexico pirates
The writer in the Courier that in the article in
the Union there is mixture of levity, ignorance,
and ferocty, not at all credable TO the official
gan, and proceeds to show, that according to the
highest authority, the privateering alluded to by the
Union, is not contrary to the law of nations, and
would not authorize proceeding against it as
PIRACY" The Union has certainly, we must say
variety Of instances, discovered carelessness
want of judgment, and an inconsistency and insta
bty, not at all calculated to give it weight and in
fuence as an organ of the government, or of any
thing else.
STATE CENsUs.-The State census will be taken
We hope that all intelligent people will endeavor t
remove the prejudices which exist amongst some o
the lower classes and lead them often TO give false
returns. The selection of commissioners is also
matter which ought to be carefully looked to. very
often the returns are far from the truth as can be
GOVERNOR SHANNON has arrived, but not with tn,
missing instruments in his pocket. Now that he il
here, trust he will give some explanation Of tn,
business-what became Of the money and all abou
it. Mr. Green, the exchange, has succeeded il
completely mystifying the matter Let Mr.. Shan
non clear it up.
FRENCH OpERA.-The grand musical celebration
at the Tabernacle, on Tuesday evening, will be ea
ceedngly acceptable to multitudes in this city. Sc
ections from the sacred compositions Of Mozar
Rossini, and Auber, will be performed in spendi
style No more appropriate way of concluding tn
snlennifies Of the day could be devised
