JAMES GORDON BENNETT, ESQ.,:
| Dear Sir: Since the completion of the L. /. Rail-
road we receive your valuable journal daily Being
foremost in all matters of interest, am induced to
send you short account of matters and things IN
this place and vicinity. Never, perhaps, IN the
history of political manGuvring, has such anxiety,
management and skill been shown IN bringing
about the removal and appointments OF office
holders. The appointment OF the present lncum-
bent to the Post Office, G. Ga milk and M wass, ssas,
whggery to Tylerism few months since, was
Indignantly received by both whigs and locos, ne
having received the appointment through the IN
huence of Mr. Calhoun, Secretary of State, who
fortunately for him was the Old Priests Chum,
while in College. But,b far the most interest has
been exhibited in watching the scrambing for Col
lectorshlp. 1t being OF greater Importance than the
Post Office, of course there were a host OF aspl.
rants, amongst whom was Lawyer G a brother OF
| the Postmaster, who, after he had succeeded by
his skill in defeating the General u Co., and OBJ
tanning possession of the Old Church, became as
| zealsus an advocate for democracy as he was for
whiggery in the campaign of lS4O, presumlng that
he would undoubtedly be rewarded by share Of
| the spois. But, alas! he was doomed to be sadly
just on the eve of receiving the appointment, and
all his fond hopes and prospects blasted. Since
l the Doctor has taken possession, q. has IN con-
| temptation work setting forth in garng colors
the frauds and villalnies which have been practised
by the democracy.
| We shall have more fun ere long, of which you
shall receive due notice, in Witnessing the scram
blers for the Bridge Hampton Post Office, a place
four miles distant from this. The present incuIn-
bent A. T., who ls a whig, also ex-justice of the
peace, is very tenacious of his office. and title OF
Esq and should our friend Dr.; M. succeed him,
will probably retire to private life, with the appel
la,lon of the &C Mountain II. Squire He is re-
| markably particular since Mr.. Poik's election to
| have list of the letters remaining in the Pos
Office posted weekly Oh his bulletin, which was
previously omitted
The knowing ones say that appearances denote
storm soon amongst the Bull's Head Clique. not
withstanding the Judge keeps dark as usual. They
have discovered from some source other the fact
of the intended removal of T., and the substitution
Of some prominent democrat, B. $. or DR.. M. in
his place. 1t ls the opinion of both Wings and
Locos, that either of them in point of moral no.
nesty, capabity &c, are at least his equal if not
superior. The greater portion of the people desire
a change 1t is true that some of T. friends fret
and foam, and are highly indignant in his presence
in regard to his removal, but at heart they un.
doubtedly in favor Of some one who will conduct
the business of the office with that propriety which
IN the present incumbent has previous to the eec-
| tiOn OF Mr.. Polk been Yound wanting.
Dr. D., who, by the assistance of his accdency's
wife, succeeded in obtaining the appointment of
collector, notwithstanding the influence of Mr.. G,
with mr.. Calhoun, was previously elected d. to III, the
| Saws predicted that he would have to resign his
| legislative seat instanter on receipt OF the decu
mentin confirmation OF his appointment to an office
| under the general government, but the Dr. was moi
to be easily intimidated, and therefore proceeded
direct to Albany, in time tor the Session Of the
Legislature. believe his right TO a seat in that
body has not as yet been decided. His friends
fatter themselves that he will make successful
debut IN his political career, but II is admitted on
all sides that he is not competent or as well qua.
lifted for the office as Mr.. D-g, the gentlemen
| removed to make room for the tool Of party
| Clique. Very truly, yours, L..

| facts concerning the storm.
