SURVEYOR GENERAL.-We learn by a
private letter from Dubuque, that intelli-
gence had been received by telegraph that
G. H. BoorH, Esq, Of that city had been
appointed Surveyor General of Iowa and
Wisconsin, in place of Hon. GEORGE W..
JONES, elected to the U. S. Senate. We
have no personal acquaintance with Mr..
Booth, but have known him long by repu
tation, as gentleman and highly es-
teemed and popular citizen. He is also
man of sterling business habits, and will
doubtless discharge the duties of the office
with credit to himself and to the salts 'ac-
ton Of the community at large.

We have received from Signor Jose
.DAlvear ("what name" totake in green
horns) long advertisement, with the
usual array Of certificates, setting forth the
virtues of his celebrated Goldometer and
gold-seeker's guide. signor Jose DIAL
wear modestly requests US 10 insert his
advertisement to the amount Of $40 and to
give it an editorial endorsement of about
fifteen lines Gust the precise number
which our friend of the Dubuque Tribune
has given it, in connection with the adver-
tisement which he published) for which
we are also authorized TO draw upon him
for the additional sum of ST.. Simultane-
ously with the issue OF this advertisement
from the New York press we notice the
publication Of long account by the New
York Advertiser Of the return of this same
Signor Jose D'Alvear from California
with "more than million dollars worth
Of gold," collected by the aid Of this same
goldometcr. 1t does appear lille singu-
lar to us, that Signor Jose D'Alvear, after
collecting more than million of dollars in
a year in California, should be engaged in
so small business as retailing goldome-
tiers for three dollars piece. Why don't
Signor Jose D'Alvear go back to Calilor-
MIA and make another haul, if he is still
unsatisfied.
In conclusion we beg leave to assure
Signor Jose D'Alvear that we came from
the land of wooden nutmegs ourselves,
and we rather "guess" we wont insert
the ten dollar advertisement, although we
have seen fit to give Senior Jose D'Alvear
and the goldometer puff of rather more
than "fifteen or twenty lines" without
drawing upon him for that dollar. How
ever, if the public are any way incredu-
lous about Signor Jose D'Alvear making
more than million Of dollars by the aid
Of his goldometer, all they have got to do
is, to purchase the goldometer literally Of
the aforesaid D'Alvear, and the statement
will all come true in the end, if it is moi
so now.

Another Nut for the Spectator,

We find the following slip published in the
Baltimore american, a leading Wing paper, with
out word Of comment:
VERMoNT.-The Wing State Convention for
Vermont met at Montpelier on the 4th inst, and
nominated the present State officers for re-elec-
ton by reclamation, viz: Carlos Coolidge for
Governor; Robert Pierpont fer Lieutenant Gov
ernor George Howes for Treasurer.
Resolutions were passed inviting President
Taylor to visit Vermont during his proposed visit
to the North. The regular series Of resolutions,
adopted by the Convention, breathed the true
Wing spirit. They were in favor of protection
to American industry; internal Improvements,
and the exclusion Of slavery from the new terri
tories. They also protest against the incorpora-
ton of the best portion of New Mexico Within
the State of Texas; and insist that the public
lands should enure to the benefit of all the States
of the Union, for purposes OF popular education
The resolutions close with an expression OF con-
fidence in President Taylor, and appreciation o.
the declarations of his Inaugural Address"
Happears that the Vermont resolutions "bredth
ed the true Whig SPIRIT" being in favor Of pro
tective tariff, internal improvements, and (of
horrid to relate!) the ere5tssicm Of slocsry from
the req territories

subject the Wing prints will be as silent as

Two State conventions were held last week at
Jackson Alichigan-one by the free-soilers and
one by the Whigs-for the purpose Of nomina-
ting candidates for the State offices for their re-
spective parties The Cincinnati Enquirer says
of these conventions:
"The wings on the second days sitting, passed
a resolution on motion of a Mr.. Giddings for the
appointment of committee to confer with like
committee of the free-soilers on the subject OF a
union of the two parties. Upon the assembling
OF the free soil convention, committee OF two
from the wing convention appeared in the tree
soil convention and announced in true parlla-
mentary STYLE the fact of committee Of confer
ence. The free-soilers then passeda resolution
to appoint a committee, with instructions not to
make any proposition, but to hear what the
wings had to offer, and report progress TO the
| convention.
The committee, after conference with the
wing committees, reported that the wings were
willing to unite with the free soilers IN making
State ticket,and make far distribution Of the Of
fees The free-soilers, after all the knocking al
their door by the Wings to come in, spurned the
supplcants and made ticket oftheir own. The
whig convention went so far as to adopt a ma
terial portion Of the Bu6alo platform in order to
entice the free-soilers to an embrace The De-
troit Free Press says that the president of the
ee-soil convention suggested as reply to the
continued solicitations Of the wings:

Who gave to the Tandicator license to de.

character of Gen. Taylor as honorable as the eda-
tor of the Vandicator himself!
70 When the Republican shows that we
have DETAINED the reputation and impeached the
moral character of Gen. Taylor, it will be time
enough to answer this question.
Do you approve or disapprore OF the doctrine
and practice of Virginia, in disavowing the pow.
er of removal for opinions sake!
Approve.
Did you applaud or denounce jackson, Van
Buren, and Polk, for all their removals for opin.
ions sake?

jackson, Van Buren, and Polk did make reno.

Taylor's Inaugural.
Do you regard the Locofocos as any more hon
est, capable, and faithful, than are the wings ?
A.-The Locofocos have held the government
for 40 years-they are therefore, better qualified
from an enlarged experience, to discharge off
cial duties
Do you honestly think, that it would be RICH
for Gen. Taylor, wing President, to continue
in office ten Locofocos to one whig?
Ave do "honestly think'' SO, because from
long experience they are ten times better quail
flied. "Practice makes perfect"
If it was right in Locofoco Presidents to ap
point mostly Locos to office, would it not be e
qually right in Gen. Taylor to appoint mostl,
wings?
A-No Because Gen. Taylor said he woulc
be a no-party President, and he ought to kee]
his word.
