&ge Ion Of the Baltimore Sun falls into an
egregious error in saying, that Mr.. Ewing
has reviewed the opinion which he was dis
posed to entertain, that the law creating the
Department Of the Interior, legislated out Of
office all the officers of the several Bureaus,
which were declared to constitute his De-
partment. Mr.. Ewing was never disposed
to entertain any such opinion and therefore
had no such opinion to review.

DAILY REcORp.

Yesterday was a reception day IL the President.
Owing 10 the Indictment weather, there wore not, nj
Ut any one time, more than six or eight persons pre-
sent The coal In the CRATE looked cheerful, and the
President was glad TO his guests, and Aayea few
moments talk with them. As we were about TO

and announced himself as one OF his soldiers ON the

chairs nearer 10 the fire, and entered into conversa

The Philadelphia Pennsylvania dcmocrao re-
markss:
"u-General TAYLOR il is said, is beginning TO realize
daily thai although CLAY Is not the ton, everything al
Washington Is bending TO CLAYTON"
And the rampant officials Of the late Admnstra
ton are, judging from the manner Of buitoning
up their coats, extremely fearful of the Claymore.
The clerks of the Treasury Department, we Were
informed have been required severally, TO make out
in their handwriting, abatement oflhe duties OF
the Offices which they occupy, the salaries, and other
particulars tits not probable that any Of them will
assert, that ranking documents showing General
Taylor with two faces" and making political speech
es, are among the duties OF their stations.
Before the Presidential election there were five
hundred democratic clerks in Washington; after the
result was ascertained, the number dwindled down
10 hundred, and soon II will be difficult task TO
find enough for quorum Of the Jackson Democra-
tic Association. 1t appears, from this, either that
President Taylor is still acquiring popularity, or that

obnoxious to the opposition. They are d.
recting their fire upon him rom every quar-
te-. The Worcester Massachusetts, Palla-
dunn Of the 2lst inst, opens upon him, with
what il no doubt believed to be chain
shot II charges him with preventing the
election OF Senators Of the United States
from Iowa, and with failing in business in
Brimfeld, Mass, some years ago!
Now, we do not see how these things,
even If they be literally true, can be mag
aifed into crimes, much less, into incapacity
to discharge the duties Of the Office OF Sec
ond Assistant Post Master General II he
really prevented the election Of the Iowa
Senators, he must have been man OF no
small influence to effect such result. The
Palladium pretends TO explain how he
brought il about, but the explanation, even
il correct, involves nothing discreditable
whatever TO Mr.. Warren. But It is en-
ascribed to Mr.. Warren, and we are aston
ished that the Palladium did not see this de-
feet in its evidence; but too willing witnesses
always set the trap TO catch themselves.
We repeat, that if Mr.. Warren did prevent
the election by the Iowa Legislature of the
United States Senators from that state, he
is a man Of no light influence, and, in
this particular, Mr.. Collumer has done honor
to Iowa TO call to his aid such citizen
But, he failed in business in Massachu-
sets some years ago--and this is paraded
as great crime against him, by press,
that boasts Of practising the principles Of
Democracy, one Of which is, mercy for a
fellow being in misfortune We do not
know, under what circumstances he failed,
but the presumption is that he failed hon
orably, or the Palladium would have been
eagerly ready with the proofs TO the con-
trary Besides, his subsequent popularity
and power in Iowa, admitted by the Pala-
dunn, could not have followed a dishonorable
failure in Massachusetts,.
Lest the motives Of these desperate as
saults upon Mr. Warren, may not be appa-
rent to the public beyond the limits Of Iowa,
we may as well state here, that they spring
solely from the envy and hostility Of the
Democratic leaders in that state towards
this talented and honorable gentleman, for
the bold public part he took in trying TO Sc
cure the ascendancy Of the Wing party in
its councils His activity and powerful in
fuence prevented for a time the loss of the
state to the Wings, and one may readily
imagine that there is not much love enter
tanned towards him, by those particularly
who were excluded temporarily from enjoy
ing the sweets Of office
As to the slurs and ISLANDERS against the
character and capacity Of Mr.. Warren, he
has lived them down in his own state and
will live them down on the theatre Of his new
operations. He will prove himself to be,
what his opponents know and dread he will
prove, such an officer, in the Bureau to
which he has just been appointed, as will
efectually rescue the Post-Oflice Depart
ment from the thrallom Of the miserable
domination under which It is now groaning.
