uished by our special Washington correspondent,
Mis- morning II appears that there applica-
tions for the Office Of Assistant Treasurer in this
oity rendered vacant by the death Of Ex-Governor
Young This is not to be wondered at, when
We take into consideration the small amount Of pay,
in comparison with the enormous security required
No wealthy man can afford to take such an office, |
and few if any, poor, but honest men, would bo |
able to raise the necessary security. The Office is
literally going q begging Who'll take it'
We are glad to perceive that Mr.. Fillmore con- |
templates sending minister to La Plata. repre-
sentative Of this government is much needed in that
quarter just at this time. The intricate movements
Of foreign nations in every cerner Of this continent
should be closely watched, else may sud
denly find our commerce materially crippled.
The singular caucus the proscriptive caucus, the
rebellious caucus, is still all the talk in Washington.
II lie said that arrangements now in progress to
drop Fillmore, Webster, and Scott, and bring out
jones. Of Tennessee. Nearly all New Workers know
who Jones is, for they heard Of him at wing meet
ing the other night He poured oil upon the troubled
elements of that meeting, and is expected to treat
she whole whig party in like manner The whig
machinery is out Of order, and needs repairing and
siling, and Jones is to nave the job. Good for
Jones.
Mr. Socum, the government agent who was sent
cut to Mexico to procure testimony in the case OF
Or Gardiner has arrived at New Orleans, and will
soon be in Washington, when it is hoped that this
tedious affair will be disposed of.
Nearly the whole of yesterday spent by the
House Of Representatives in Buncombe debate
the free farm bin. Mr. Ewing, Kentucky whig,
spoke about half hour, in which he gave the out
lines Of speech in opposition to the Intervention
policy Of Kossuth, Cass, Douglas, and others. He
promised to write out his speech in full, which
would be very ngthy, publish it, and send it to his
constituents. This is capital plan 1t will save
the time and money of the people, and be just
well relshed by his constituents. His example is
well worthy Of imitation.
Kossuth's movements in New England are marked
with all the curious characteristics peculiar to the
man. The noise, and puffs and smoke, and fuss,
made with regard to the Incompatible eloquence,
superior craftsmanship, and wonderful sagacity Of
the Magyar, led the Yankees to anticipate something
beyond mere clap-trap, stale and Improbable repe
titons Of patriotism, honesty the greatest good to
the greatest number, Sc. such as are got off by
nearly every stump speaker throughout the coun-
try--and in much better style, too-just prior to
election day. The Yankees were egregiously mis-
taken. They find, in reality, that Kossuth-setting
aside the prestige of name rendered somewhat
famous by the newspapers--is but little more
than any other Being men of remarkable
discrimination and possessing good practical sense,
coming to see and hear him, and weigh
for themselves what he has to say, they find
that he has been greatly over-rated, and they
are therefore deeply disappointed. Furthermore,
in his speech at Northampton yesterday, he took
casion insult their national PRIDE by stating that
L. IN al. ,of,,
but that they did not act as a great nation" Hal
Kossuth carefully searched every lexicon in the
gsh language. he could not have selected and
strung together words that would have conveyed a
greater insult TO the Yankees In his travels through
out the States, he has enough of the American
people-their industry, enterprise, ingenuity,
meIcc and manufactures. combined with the bene-
fetal, regular and uncqualed working of their inst
tutions-to convince him, prejudicial and over
flowing with sefimportance he is, that what yes
terday asserted was unjust untruthful and malicious.
No wonder that the citizens of Northampton were
equally as much interested in the charming Jenny
Lind as they were in the Magyar. She has truly
proved benefactress to her countrymcn, and her
name will live long after Kossuth has been forgot
ten by his people The free-schools which she es
tablished, through her own unaided exertions, in
Sweden, will be monuments to her greatness that
will make her goodness adored by the hearts of
generations vet unborn. While kossuth, instead Of
beneftting his people has, by his over-reaching
btion, and chickering's with other equally selfish
praLts, more firmly rivetted upon them the shackles
OF tyranny. On one thing, however, kossuth is
right. He basgiven the Yankees his opinion the
Maine liquor law and is found to be sound on
that subject, at least.
We have some late news from Santa Fe. The
Indians were quiet, business very dull, and
large numbers of the people were leaving to seek
their fortunes in the ella gold diggings.
The telegraph supplies us with several interesting
paragraphs Of political The convention of the
Gt orga unionsts re- affirmed the principles Of their
party, and resolved to call for convention to nom
mate a candidate for the Presidency. They did not
select delegates to represent them in either of the
National Conventions This will doubtlessly be fol-
lowed by the people Of the Southern States gen.
orally and the result will be that, unless the wings
and democrats nominate sound Compromise candi-
dates, third man will be brought into the field, who
will receive enough to carry the Presidential
election to the House, where, with the assistance Of
their Northern allies, they will be quite to
eomplsh their object. The wings of Anne Arundel
county, Maryland have determined to support no
man for the Presidency who will not declare himself
favorable to the Compromise. The democrats of the
county have resolved to vote for the nominee
Of their National Convention, whoever he may be,
although they appear TO prefer Cass as their first
choice.
The Court Of General Sessions terday adjourned
for the term previous to which the Grand Jury made
Especial presenment, in which they call attention in
stringent terms to various branches Of the public
service, particularly the police department. They
also enlarge the constant violation Of the
excise laws, and suggest reforms in the pre-
sent system promotiye of natural temper
ance than Quixotic attempts at establishing Maine
Liquor law. The progress Of juvenile crime is also
aoticed and some suggestions made on each of
these topics that will be read with intesest.
