Mr. EpJank has not been requested by the
President 10 reSigs-nor anything Of the
sort. OF his intentions we profess to have
no knowledge, but we are confident that no
intention to remove the Commissioner OF
Patents has been cherished by the Presi-
dent.
But the phrases that induced US to
copy the foregoing are those referring TO
Dir. Ewbank's nativity. He happened to
be born across the water, and is one of the
very few citizens of European birth ever
appointed to responsible and honorable
posts under our Government. But his ma
tivity had nothing to do with his appoint
ment, and will not affect his retention of the
Patent Office. President Fillmore is not the
man to remove a competent and deserving
officer because he is not a native OF this
Country. The Members of the Cabinet are
utterly incapable of any such detestable
Prosecution. When the President and his
Constitutional advisers see fit to remove
an officer, it will be for some far better
cause than this.
Now suppose the President should
at some time see good reason for removing
Mr.. Ewbank-what would result! At
once the Opposition journals would fall
back on these letters of pretended friends
of the President, and quote them to prove
that Mr.. Ewbank had fallen a victim TO
Native American prescription. The vast
body of Adopted Citizens would be required
to believe that Mr.. Fillmore had removed
Mr.. Ewbank, not for personal unitness,
nor yet for Political objections, but because
he was not Native born What sort of

~ The Canada, contrary TO our hopes
brings no intelligence ofthe missing steamer
Atlantic. Either then, being disabled and
having tried to return to Europe with her
sails, she did not arrive there till some days
after the Canada had sailed, which is pos
sible; or else she has put into the Azores
whence she may not arrive for some time
to come. If she is not heard of within the
next ten days she must be lost.
