Hugh Maxwell aud the New York Herald.

New York, December 10, ls49.
To the Editors Of the Union:
The politicians OF New York are all on the qui vivs to
learn what persons appointed by the present administa
ton will be rejected 1t is the opinion OF the majority
that Hugh Maxwell, present collector, will be the
only rejection in this city BY The Senate His unpopu
arty in his party the first complaint made BY the
wings and the second and serious is that he is
totally unqualified for the Office. He has removed good
and worthy men from their situations without cause and
substituted in many cases. persons OF Infamous charac
ter. He has violated his own promises and those OF
Gen. Taylor 1t is well known fact that the President
wrote to MT MARVEL ". long him not 70
enion to these wishes Not in the slightest degree.
What is to be thought Of collector who refuses 70 &C,
II is probably fact without precedent l,a1
The New York Herald, which has always until within
very recent period very justly condemned Mr. Maxwell
The batteries are vacated and the guns are spiked BY MI
Maxwells placing certain portion Of the government
advertising in the columns OF the Herald This i g
transparent, it is wonder that Mr. Bennett, with Ill
his shrewdness, should have SO far forgotten the esa
ton in which the independence OF his Journal is held by
N 70 s IL, aad % S sur
ans that the Healds for attacking the present
administration is that he sadly disappointed in not
obtaining the government advertising How true this as
seron is we know not; but it certainly does look
thing like it in the Present instance Let us look at the
matter dspassonately: When Mr., Maxwell was first
appointed he made himself obnoxious by his ndscrmi
male removals. His injustice was manifest and then II
was that Mr. Bennett, with his CHARACTERISTIC manliness
and independence came out In his journal and condemn
ed Mr.. Maxwell. This course was approved OF BY the
great mass of our citizens because they knew the Her
aid was on the side OF truth and justice II is this indie
pendence that has secured for his journal that unbounded
popularity in the country which other newspaper has
ever been able TO attain And the attacks suddenly
cease and their place appear the long government ad
vertisements 1t is pity now, when the aid and inhu-
ence of the Herald is most needed the of the
lection or confirmation of the appointments, that should
have receded.
We can ill afford to lose such strong influence at this
critical moment.
It is thought here that the appointments will be imme.
diately acted upon. .a
