From The National Democrat and Star.
The appointments will be generally satisfactory
and probably, under the circumstances are the
best that could have been made. We had indi.
vduaI preferences and hopes, from personal friend
ship, that they might in two or three instances
have been different; but the gentlemen selected
are equally our friends, and worthy the position
to which they have been appointed. The Presi.
dent and Cabinet have endeavor to select gen.
emen without reference to any of the old divisions
in the party, and upon the basis of that union
which 80 triumphantly carried US through the last
election. They selected in the spirit of COM
promise, and every Democrat should be satisfied.
They have all been tried workers in the ranks and
have always been true and faithful to Democratic
principles. Hon. Daniel s. Dickinson, who has
been selected for the post of collector, is we'll
known throughout the Union one of the ablest
and most unfiinching Democrats in the State.
His career in the United States Senate wns char
devotion to the interests of his constituents, which
won the confidence of the people, irrespective of
party considerations, and we'll nigh secured for
him nomination for the Presidency.
The Hon John A. Dix also occupies a proud
eminence in the political history of our State and
brings to the duties of his responsible Office an un
blemished character, high integrity and every
qualification for the proper discharge of it's duties
The other gentlemen selected are we'll known, and
will undoubtedly fulfil the trusts reposed in them
with entire satisfaction to all interested In the
dispensation of patronage, if the same feeling ia
manifested as has been done by the President, all
will be satisfied, and the unity of the party will be
preserved for the future.
From the National Democrat
The troubles and perplexities attendant upon a
choice of collector of the port of New York have
at last come to end. Hon. Daniel S. Dickinson

few men certainly deserve better of the American
Democracy; he has always been firm and unfal-
tering friend of the broadcast national principles oil
