by lie Administrator, notwithstanding the
pointed rebpkes the party in power are receive
ing from all quarters Of the Union. Hardly a
day passes by that some good man is not turn

Tho is put into Office solely upon party consi-
derations. The removal Of the Commissioner
of Public Buildings, Mr.. holland, was in viola
ton Of a SOLEMN promise Of the President TO
Mr. Noland. ! say removal, for Mr., holland
was told if he did not resign he would be re-
moved, and SO to save the modification of re-
moval, he resigned. The President affects to
regret the necessity he was under of doing
this, and puts it upon the ground Of san exter-
nal pressure" The external pressure is that
Of men who claim that public offices belong
exclusively to the noisiest partisans of a party,
and not to the best men among the people-a
doctrine too odious for a despOtisln even, and
entirely at war with every principle Of good
Government, The successor Of MIR. holland is
Mr.. A Beaumont, Of Pa. This gentleman
was sworn into Office on the 9th, and the sun
had hardly set upon him when he commenced
the work of prescribing those serving under
him. A very worthy man, one of the watch
men Of the Capitol, who had performed all his
duties faithfully, and who has a certificate Of
the fact from men of both parties-who has for
years amidst the storms Of the day season and
the idclement weather Of the night, been ever
at his post, received a summary letter of his
dismissal. He is a poor man with d large fami-
ly dependent upon him. The very head and
front Of his offending hath this extent and no
more, that he was a Whig--not a votin & Wing
for nobody here you know is blessed with a
lreeman's franchise; nor yet a partisan Wing,
Tor every body acknowledged him to he a cour-
teDus, polite and attentive 0ticer-hut he did
not from the house top and the corners Of the
streets swear his devotion to the dominant par
ty; and he was removed What makes this
outrage the more glazing is the fact that Mr.,
Males, the man removed, is told in his letter
from Mr.. Beaumont that the deed is done in
accordance to public opinion Public opinion!
What public opinion! Who among the people
demands the removal OF an humble and faith
full watchman employed 10 guard the property
around the Capitol OF the Union? Who in
voting for Mr.. Polk dreamed that they were EN-
dorsing an act like this2 But the present is a
most unhappy moment for Mr.. Beaumont or
any other partisan Of the Administration to
talk of public opinion The public "oice from
Maine and New Hampshire--from Maryland
and Georgia-from North Carolina and Ohio
: from Pennsylvania and New York-wherever
: the people could be heard, has been speaking
in thunder tones of rebuke against the A dmin-
! %istration. The party have been tried and con-
4 %demned, and yet, regardless of this trial and
condemnation, an officer Of the. Executive
undertakes to turn out a man because he is n
9 Wing, in obedience to public opinion! More
than this. Some of tie associates of Mr..
$ Males have had to get certificates that tley
, were good Democrats, to save their heads from
the gulllotine. Mr.. Cave job lson, the Post.
