Appointments.

The Hon. George Bancroft, Of Massachu-
setls, has been confirmed by the Senate, as
Secretary Of the Navy. Mr.. Folks Cabinet is
now complete, and their whole attention seems
to be given to removing the poor dependents Of
Captain Tyler from their snug. ia. ber,hs. Up
wards of one hundred nominations have already
been made by Mr.. Polk some of them TO The
most lucrative situations under government
The sppoin,ees are all radical loco focos. This
is the way in which Mr. Polk observes The
pledge he made in his Inaugural Address, 10 be
the President of The United States, and not The
President of the party.

The Voice of Ohio.

The course Of Senator'S Allen and Tsppan
in disregarding the will Of the People of Ohio
on the question Of Texas is exciting much feel
ing in that State. The Ohio State Journal
states tha, The question of calling Stale Con-
venion Of The Sons of Freedom, whou, dis
iinction OF party, is agiaed 1, says:-
"The voice of Ohio should be heard on the
momenlous questions now pressing upon US
The action of The PEOPLE is called for. Their
Representatives have sold them ou,-have aban
doned their duty as Wa,chmen and Senlinels

An ObstreperOus Correspondent.

Several weeks ago we noticed the reception
of communication, without the name of the
writer accompanying ii. and refused to publish
it in consequence, according to our prescribed
rule. This has made the writer terribly wrolh !;
and The way in which he vents his indignation
upon us, through another private communca.
non, without his name, is really alarming. He
talks as if he held our destiny, and the destiny
Of our paper in his hands, and would deprive US
Of The means of subsistence if we do not al
once show signs of repentance, and yield 10
his very modest demands.
It's pity that some folks will continually
be making Jacks of themselves, and expose their
ignorance, stupidity and narrow -mindedness on
all occasions. We respectfully said that we
published no communication without knowing
who the author was. This was not enough for
our hero, and he must needs fall TO abusing US,
because we refused to make the columns of our
paper The medium for heaping the abuse of an
anonymous scribbler upon the citizens OF
Siroudsburg. Bu, we have borne i, all and are
still alive.
He threatens that if we do not al once pub.
lish his communication, with suitable apology
for the delay, he will have il published in the
other paper. if Rafferty, ciH do it for him. He
is a, liberty 10 do So If he still refuses 10 send
us his name, and can get Rafferty, to publish
his article, we have no objections. But even
Rafferty, will think twice, before he allows such
a production TO go into his Democrat, without
knowing who Is The father of it, Rafferty, don't
like libel suits better than bis neighbors
We would once more inform this furious fel.
low, that our object in wishing to know his
name, is not 10 lay it before The public, or 10
reveal il TO any clique he may imagine We are
connected with. We keep the names of all
correspondents profoundedly secret-and what
we desire TO know them for, is our own safety
We have little curiosity, however, in the pres
ent case. There was Phrenologis. in town
short time ago. who would have given trife
for just such head as our correspondent must
have. In conclusion, we may add, that we can.
not be driven into The publication Of any thing
whatever. We have our rules, and cannon de-
part from them, to please Subscribers" or
Others.

pers are auding Mr.. Polk for having refused 10
receive the Empire Cub--as a Ciub-at the

their fervid praises OF the Presidents manly
and independent course in this matter, il turns
out, unfortunately for The Jealous panegyris,s Of

such refusal as has been attributed to him. and
that this respectable Club, with music playing,

The Texas Debt.

good deal of speculation is ahoai as to the
probability Of The assumption Of the debt Of
Texas by the United States. The wan, of cor
rect information as to It's actual amount, and the
general belief that i, exceeds $50 900, 900, with
the imperfect knowledge possessed in this
country OF the value and extent Of The unsold
Public Lands Of Texas, renders il extremely
difficult 10 arrive al any conclusion on the SUBJ
jec.. private letter from Washington ex-
presses the belief that The Federal Government
will NOT assume the debt Of Texas, but will
throw the burihen of its payment upon The new
State, leaving 10 il all lis public lands as the
the writer refers TO the annexation Joint resolu-
lion of Congress, which expressly disclaims
any intention of assumption. Ii would. be diff
Gcult no doubt TO pass an ACT for the assump-
lion Of the debt of The State of Texas wilhou,

lion of the debts of Pennsylvania and olher
