Burlington hawk-eye. [volume] (Burlington, Iowa) 1845-185?, 1849-11-22

ssCol. FITz HENRY WARREN is on his way to
Washington, and will reach that city tomorrow.
The Washington correspondent of the New York
Trihune writes that he is to take the place Of Ma
j0r HObbie, who haslsO long been the first assist.
ant r. NJ. General. That gentleman is 10 be remoy-
ed. The correspondent referred to, writes that
there is some objection to Col. Warren's appoints
ment, "frOM apprehension that his equal will not
be found very readily to occupy the post he will va
cate. and the duties Of which he has met and dis
charged with so much credit to himself and salts
faction to the public. II, however, the successor
ship Of Col. Warren should fall upon either the
Hon. John c. Clark Of New York, or Nathan Sar-
gent, Esq, the popular Recorder of the General
Land Office, think neither the country nor the adj
ministration will have anything to complain of.o-
Again the Tribune's letter continues-aPreyious
20 the Lettings OF the new contracts, &C.. is Of the
highest Importance to the success of the Admins
tration and the best interests or the country that
Mr. Hobbie should be disarmed OF his ability TO en-
barrass the one, or retard the advancement of the
other, from political bias and prejudiccs, and the
seiecton OF MT Warren will be hailed with gratif-
cation In every section of the country desiring an
Improvement in our mail facilities.'' y="f
The above, which we copy from the Lowell, MAS
sachusetts) Journal Of the Sd inst, and which we
have seen in substance in many of our eastern ex.
Changes, shows that Col. WARREN,s services as Cd
assistant Post Master General are appreciated
wnere they are best known. Since his appointment,
50 well has Iowa been cared for through hs.instru-
mentality that presses whose object it is to oppose
the present Administration, have voluntarily and
manfuliy acknowledged their indebtedness to him
Tor valuable increase Of mail facilities. Such
compliment is due from all, and nothing but the
strength Of party shackles and personal pique at his
elevation, withholds its universal payment. A
more prompt and energetic business man than Col.
Fhz Henry Warren cannot be found to have Coop
Grated with any Administrations land VIC do not on
der at the only recorded obstacle to his further pro-
motion, although it is much to his credit.
Although he seems to be well fitted for the dis
charge of the duties Of I'd Assistant p. NJ General
we think him equally qualified for the other Office
spoken OF. lis acknowledged by all that Mr. Hob.
bic has neglected the West, and what has been done
Tor this part of the country in the shape OF extra
man service since the advent of the present Adj
m'nistration, has beeu mainly if not entirely ac-
complished through the suggestion of Col Warren.
We have no doubt that as list Assistant Post Mas
ter General, Col. Warren will be as economical in
making contracts and more judicions in selecting
necessary and remunerating routes, than any man
who has preceded him. He will make it his study
to reduce the whole business of his department in
to systematic harmony, which his predecessors
have in great measure failed to do, or we shall be
mistaken in the man. t.@
