Mashalah The work OF rotation goes bravey
on, though not so rapidly as our friends whe are
among the "outs' could desire, while the sims"
are outraged at the alarming aspect which pro-
scrption for opinions sake has assumed. Our own
opinion is, that Capt Polk and his cabinet do
ing very well, as they ought 10 do, from the album
dance of materials from which they have to select
their supernumeraries.
The chapter OF appointments for to-day is de-
cdedly rich and gratifying.

the Post Master General, under Mr.. Van Buren's
administration, p. NJ of this CITY, in place OF DR..

met Col. Gardiner this morning, and found him all

cheap postage, and pledges us, that in view of the
social, religious, moral, political, and commercial
advantages OF low posases, he will use his best ex-

DR.. Miller, third Assistant Postmaster Gen
era IN place OF Col Skinner, the great theoretical

sired 10 be renewed for thus very purpose Dr. Mil
Ter is bretherin-law of Captain Tyler, and his re-
tention may be attributed to the tears which the
Captain shed ia his bekalf before he left the city

without the authority OF John Tyler, in which
oplnlon we are inclined to acquiescence.
