WASHINGTON, May 10, 1852.
The Ressgnatso~s IN Wsshingto-The Case Of Assistant
Poamsster General Warren
The resignation Of Colonel Fits Henry Warren Second
Assistant Postmaster General has excited no surprise
among those who understand the position Of that gentle
An avowcd Scott man. and President of the Scott
Club in Half street. his position under Judge
Hall was not particularly pleasant one. He was an
active and efficient public officer and if General Scott is
elected will doubtless be appointed Postmaster General
position he is eminently qualified to Ill.
When Colonel Warren first appointed to Office he
was very unpopular His position as Second Assistant
brought under his charge all the postmasters of the
country and all removals appointments were made
in his Office OF course, the removal Of SO many post
masters under a administration was sufficient to
make him unpopular although perhaps responsible
for of them In Colonel Warrens case however, It
is but just to say that he is too much Of party man to
conceal that he in favor of always appointing his friends
to Office II he can.
For long time past-ndeed since Judge Hall be-
came Postmaster Gcneralno good feeling existed
tween them But Col Warren's first qualifications
rendered it absolutely necessary that he should be re-
tanned This SO apparent that last fal the POST
master General the duties First Assistant to
Col Warren and gave the First Assistant Mr. Jacobs
duties Of the Appointment Office The titles however re-
manned the The duties of Second Assistant are
comparatively anmporant after the appointment OF all
been finished by Col Warren, and he was then placed
over the Contract Office which, Of right belongs to the
First Assistant.
The immediate of Col Warren's resignation Is
said to have been alleged discovery by Postmaster
Hail. of some secret political transactions Of the Ooonels
1t appears that last year, Col Warren Iowa
upon business connected with the Department looking
after mail contractors &c At the time Judge Hall
told that Col Warren making Scott capital all along
the route He spoke to Warren about it, but the charge
was denied has recently light however that
the charge really true and it is said that the Colonel
has boosted that he laid good Scott track all the way
along at the time and that Scots strongest friends can
be found amongst the Post Office attaches. Such dis
covery Of course produced explosion and Col War
ren's resignation is the result.
As for Goddards resignation Chief Clerk Of the De-
partment OF the Interior the only surprise he
Kept In as long as he was He is very young man. and
possesses no other qualification for responsible post
than the fact that he married Mr. Vinton daughter Mr.
Vmton is an old friend and partner of Tom Ewing and
believe relation Whatever faults Ewing has he never
could be accused OF not taking of his relatives when
he could get chance to do out of the public crib
hence young Goddard appointed chief clerk in
the good old days of General Taylor and nepotsm.

The Fathers of our City,
To them let's sing a song;
They merit praise, in tuneful lays
From every vocal tongue
The Fathers of our City
A noble race are they;
The barren field they talight to yield,
And wildness chased away.
The Fathers of our city
What dangers they We ercome;
Who did assuage, the Indian rage,
And fixed our present home.
The Fathers of our City.
Earth $ aaed surIace broke:
The plains obeyed, the monarch spade,
The woods beat to their stroke.
The Fathers of our City
Their tolls the scene adorn,
And joyous Earth, in smiles gave birth
To plains Of golden corn.
The Fathers of our City
The heirs to heights sublime;
Let's wreath each name, in golden fame,
Upon the tower of Time.
The Fathers Of our City,
The wine cup fill to them;
Peace to their bed, alive or dead;
May none their deeds condemn.
The Fathers Of our City
Their dictates VIC revere
Their names rehearse, in prose and verse,
Their memory cherish dear.
The Fathers of our City
To them we lift our song;
They merit praise, in tuneful lays,
From every vocal tongue
