jefferson on Removals from ONCE.

During Mr.. Jefferson's Administration
a rabid Federalist was removed from the
Office of Collector of the port OF New Ha-
ven and a democrat appointed in his place.
The merchants and other citizens of
that place Immediately forwarded TO the
Executive a strong remonstrance asserting
the eminent fitness and superior qualihca-
tions of the gentleman removed in con-
trasting them with those of his successor
in manner by no means fattering to
that gentleman.
This remonstrance was answered by Mr..
Jefferson as follows:
Declarations by myself. in favor OF
political tolerance, exhorIations to har-
mony and affection in social intercourse,
and respect for the equal rights of the mi
nority, have on certain occasions, been
quoted and miscontrued into assurances
that the tenure of offices was not to be
disturbed. But could eandor apply such
construction When it is considered
that, during the late administration, those
who were not of a peculiar sect of politics
were excluded from all office when, by
a steady pursuit of this measure, nearly
the whole offices of the United States were
monopolized by that sect; when the pub
lie sentiment at length declared itself, and
burst open the doors of honor and conf
dence to those whose opinions they appro-
we'd was it to be imagined that this
monopoly of office was to be continued in
the hands of the minoritye Does it vio-
late equal rights to assert some rights of
the majority also? Is it political intoler-
dnee'to claim proportionate share in the
direction of the public affairs? If due
participation of Office is matter of right.
how are vacancies to be obtained Those
by death are few. the designations none.
Can any other mode than that of removal
be proposed This is a painful Office
but it is made my duty. and meet it as
such.

RUSSIA AND THE UsITED STATEs-Speak-
ing OF the general effects Of the Russian
and Turkish affairs, The London News
says:
Butthere is another power of whom lit
tie has hitherto been said or thought, in ref
erence to this momentous. question. The
United States have recently eyinced a dis
position to sympathise with nations whose
Interests and aspirations are alike opposed
TO aristocratic and dynastic oppression.
Between Russia and America there have
hitherto been few occasions for the open
manifestations of that antagonism which
IS instructive and ineradicabIe in their OPP
posing systems of religious and political
life. America is the land of equality
Russia of sectarian intolerance and perse-
cution. America is the home of Demo
cratic freedom Russia of military aris-
tocracy, captained by military despotis,n.
America is rapidly adopting in her COM
merical intercourse the principles of Free
Trade /; Russia labors necessarily to de-
stroy. wherever her whitening influence
extends. every germ Of competition.
Turkey has already given proofs Of her
earnest desire 10 liberalize her commercial
and religions policy and the Cabinet at
Washington will undoubtedly be sustained
by the cheering approval OF the whole
Anglo Saxon race on both sides of the
Atlantic, il at this critical juncturc they

AWFUL SCENES IN New ORLEASs.-Sev-
eral persons are now in New York who
left New Orleans as late as the 18th inst.
They describe as of daily occurrence, says
the Journal of Commerce, scenes of dis
tress in that plague stricken city which
one can scarcely consider as real. Death
overtakes foot-passengers in the streets
Many have been seen to cross to the shady
side of the street. and throw themselves
on the pavement, already sinking, almost
as soon as taken. under the influence of
the destroyer. Persons have been known
get into an omnibus. and to be taken
tut dead or death bound. upon their arri-
val at their place of destination. Some
times, the disorder is fearfulIy rapid in it's
course. 1t is not always accompanied
with the black vomit. 1t is not considered
identical with the yellow fever, as it mas
been heretofore known in the same vicin-
ity. 1t appears to be closer resem-
bauce to the plague. 1t was thought by
many, that it was brought from the coast
of Africa in SLAYER to Rio. and thence
in coffee ship from Rio to New Orleans.
The vessel that introduced it, distributed
death among all who were engaged in or
about her.

DEsPArEHEs IN RELATION TO THE kossrA
ATFArR.-lt is said that dispatches from
Constantikople. relative to the Kossta
affair. havs been received at the State
Department in Washington and that they
do not vary from the published accounts
materially. All letters received, both pri-
vate and official. declare that the univer-
sal sentiment amongthe natives and foreign
consuls was enthusiastic in favor of Com
neutrality-suspicious. conduct ON the grounds
of humanity and hospitality The only
regret expressed is that he did not go a
step further, and recover Kossta al all
hazards. The cannon of the St. Lewis
were all loaded. The force arrayed
against her consisted of the Hussar friyate,
a twelve gun brig, and four small steam
ers, each mounting ordinarily four guns.
Four guns additional were added during,
the night, but Commander Ingraham had
no doubt of his ability to cope successfully
with them all, by dropping astern short
distance. II is also said that had he
known, what is believed in Washington,
that President Pierce would have sustain
ed him, he would have made no compro-
mise short of kossta's liberty.
Col. Fremont AND THE PActF1c Rail-
RoAD.-We learn from the New York
Courier that Col. Fremont has Just left
that city for st. Louis, from which point
he will Immediately set out over the plains
with suitable party for California. He
goes to examine the route for the Pacific
railroad along the great depression which
he believes to exist in the Rocky Noun
tains. He expects to reach California in
November, and will Immediately turn
upon his steps and retrace his course to
the States. in order to observe with accu-
racy the depths of the SHOWS along the line.
and the degree of obstruction which they
will interpcse to railroad. His design
is full OF daring, and worthy of the intre,
|pld and adventurous spirit which he has
displayed in former explorations.
