find that our amiable contemporary, John Jones,
OF the MACEDONIAN, has experienced an attack OF
the cholera, in consequence OF certain artcles ana
letters, which have recently appeared IN the Nep
York Herald John says that we have aimed
blow at the nomination of Mr.. Prosper M. Wet
more of this city, who has been named rs candi-
date for the Navy Agency here; and also second
blow at the Hon. Mr.. Thomas A Cooper, OF Phi-
ladAphia, who is now before the Senate, besides
number ct violent and reckless blows, which have
been directed against Mr.. Tyler and his admins
tration of late.
We believe there is great mistake, and great
misrepresentation in these assertions OF John
Jones. A Washington correspondent, contrary 10
our instructions and desires, made some attacks
and representations in connection with Mr.. Pros
per M. Wetmore's nomination, of which we en-
tirely disapproved; and so stated in our columns.
We have been favorable to the nomination OF that
gentleman, and believe him to be avery worthy
candidate for the office, even in the lace OF the
very extraordinary intrgue-if it be true-whlch
has been disclosed by correspondent OF the
Courier. We also deny that we have any hostility
to Thomas A. Cooper, Of Philadelphia. We are
perfectly willing that he should be Navy Agent, or
collector, or any thing else there. We also deny
the violent and reckless blows" aimed at the
administration of Mr. Tyler. Butw do not deny
that we have on every occasion, while doing
great Justice to the talents and craftsmanship, and
success ofMr. Tylcr's administration In foreign and
domestic affairs ola general character, dlsapproved,
and heartily disapproved, of the mode and manner
in which Offices have been obtained both In New
York and throughout the country. Mr.. Tyler we
are willing to admit, from the peculiarly OF his po-
sition between the two great parties. belonging 10
neither, feared, ridiculed, and hated by both, has
yet been able to employ ADLER men in his cabinet,
and to accomplish more important foreign negotia-
tons than many Of his predecessors. From the same
popularity of position, and growing out of his
principles and prejudices being In the right and
common sense track, he has been enabled In his
character of the Executive Magistrate, to arrest
number of domestic measures that might have
been injurious to the country for years to come
On all these points we give Mr.. Tyler due
credit and due justice. But the selection OF
persons for office-the removals from office-and
the attempts which Mr.. Tyler, and some of the
members Of his family, have made during the last
two or three years, to create personal faction
to get up committees for the purpose of nominating
him to the Presidency-have only thrown ridicule
on himself, and exposed his character and his Ca
bnet to the severest test OF the present and the u
ture age. The most violent and reckless blows
aimed att Mr.. Tyler have been, in the first place.
those which he has received from his own son,
whose conduct is laughed at by the whole coun
try, and then the blows received from those in
the confidence of that youth That amiable but
mistaken youth has, indeed, fanced himself an
Gle of power, but has only been an oracle of folly

removal Of Fitch & Brothers of Marseilles-the in

adelphia-the ntrigues in Boston-and the intrigues
connected with John Jones himself-are all coming
out and all will be brought before the world, to the
great injury and damage of the reputation Of Mr.
Tyler, and will, we trust, serve as beacons to his
successor, now probably in Washington.

and commented on, as enacted on the Chatham
theatre stage, had the effect, notwithstanding the
boasts made by the manager of sc the good the
Herald had done him." to disgust even the more
decent portion of his own audience with his OBJ
scenties, and to close the house. This was, OF
course, merely " for the purpose of thoroughly
cleansing and restoring the theatre"-which, sooth
to say, sadly needed such regeneration. Mean
while, the Olympic and Bowery are making every
possible exertion to sustain themselves in their
dirty position but their efforts, notwithstanding
the elaborate puffs of the PRESS remind one of two
drunken loafers on dunghill, trying to hold each

to the cheap and nasty" drama, have had their
effect, and we may shortly look for radical and
brilliant revolution in theatrical affairs.
Until this takes place, we are promised some

Flynn, who is about to convert the National Hall
into decent and clean cheap theatre, and to
bring OUT some very respectable talent there. II
