Tie Administrations Removals. and appointments
-Rnm@s-Lssue Of Stock, &c. &c.
Run ors OF all descriptions as to changes, remo-
walls, and appointments continue to be promulgated;
but nsthng de Unite can be ascertalned till Mon
day, when it Is supposed the nominations will be
sent into the Senate.
The UMsoM this morning has an article with re.
ference to the removal of Mr.. Brown, the Second
Assistant Posimaster-General,a and heads it " The
First Martyr" Such articles are perfectly absurd
and puerile. Mr. Brown was an ultra partizan;
prominent member Of the democratic committee
here, and was most active during the last cam
palen in circulating documents not only in praise
OF his own party, but personally abusive OF Gene raj
Taylor. he did not stop here, but stumped 1t also
fer Gen. Csss. Now, as u tzen, he had an unques-
nOnabe right to do ali tlls; but an officer OF the
government his duty clearly was to attend to that
office. and not neglect IL tor the political arena
1t is tor this that he has been removed. Mr.. Burke
the Commissioner Of Patents, also expects to be
removed, and for much the same reasons as caused
M Browns removal. He was the editor of the
Campaign Union, In which the most violent in
vectives were used against the present President
he was mt miner OF the Central Committee, and
Issued abusive documents against his political OPP
lonenis, DC. Gen. M Gala has also been remo,e ed
TOR neglectlng the duties of his Office IN order to
stump i tor Gen. Cass. These are the reasons why
the officials in quest on have been or will be
removed. They state publicly they will not resign;
out wait to be turned out, 60 as to benefit their
party and show that this administration is pro.
scriptive. Now, looking at the matter with i'm
TALLY, we cannot ahv ''proscrpuon' or ''mar-
tyrdom' In the matter. They are removed, not be-
Sause they are democrats, but simply because they
STEPPED out of the line Of their duties interfere
In political questions, and, doing so, occupied
the public time, for which they were paid These
gentlemen chose to make themselves promine mt
politicians, and having done So they have no more
right to complain OF removal now than have any
Of the late cabinet. They entered into the arena
and lost; had they won, they would doubtless have
expected and received their reward.
We do not mean to say that the present admins
traton may not turn out to be proscriptve; but
when II does II will be time enough to attack it.
There is every suppose it will not be- both
from the OFT repe ated declarations of the President
and the tone adopted by the members of his cabl-
