latter, the coalition member Of the last House Of
Representatives, from the very coalition town Of
Melrose. Mr.. Fsbyan has been the bunker writer
during the last three or four years. He commenced
an article against the coalition in l849, which has

Mr.. Gale was formerly clerk in the Custom House,
and was last year removed for not paying money to

one Of the coalition Senators in 1852. I believe
have mentioned the most important Of the appoint
ments, and must let the rest 60 for the present.
Mr. knowlton has not yet been appointed to the
of Worcester. very strongly recommended the aD
poinment of Mr.. Ackley of Auburn, for the place of
Navy Agent here, and in reply received offer Of
the place for himself He promptly refused to take
1T, not wishing for any office, he being a man of
wealth and interested only for his friends in the way
of offices.
The statement in morning paper that Sam. Glen,
of the Times, has been made Despatch Agent, is,
fear, not true. He was not appointed up to yester
day. He deserves something better. He is so hand
some fellow that he ought to be made a Secretary
OF Legation, at the very least.
gentleman from Essex county tells me that Mr..
Colby of whom spoke fortnight since as having
been appointed to place in the Salem customhouse,
never edited an abolition paper, the Amesbury
Garrisonsn in It's ideas Mr.: Colby was connected
with the Transcript, too, but a short time and has
been in regular connection with the democratic
party for some eight years. He is highly respe,ta-
BILE citizen, and l would not knowingly do him any
injustice, or any other man. What l stated was on
the authority Of others, Essex county men, and
his friends, as l understood them to say. At all
events, they were pleased with his appointment,
and spoke OF it as proving the comprehensive charac
ter OF the Presidents policy in the matter of appoint
ments may as well here state once for ALL that in
speaking OF the standing of gentlemen who may be
fortunate as to receive Offices and do SO without
the least personal feeling whatever Not one Of them
can run foul Of me, nor harm my prospects in any
way, seeing that have no claims to Office and have
not asked for any, and should soon think of max
ing an application for possession of the Koh-inor
for place under the administration. Ask President
Pierce. If you doubt this if he doesn't consider
model man In the way of non.ofice seeking Were
all as forbealng it would be possible for government
TO get at real business before the meeting Of Con-
gress. Excuse this egotsm, which is a way that
don't often offend the million readers of the
HERALD.

Post of Thursday, in which the policy of the al
ministaton with regard to the hi CHER grade of ap
pointments is Defined was written by General Cush
ing. 1t certainly reads like his writings, and is

MIR. Burkes overt act Of war has excited less talk
here than people at distance may think The gene
raj opinion is that Mr.. Burke has made mistake or
that he is better backed than the public are aware
The first suppostion is most likely to be the correct
one. There is discomfort in New Hampshire, that
every one knows, but when it comes to fighting the
President men not quite so ready to enlist for
the war. The odds are too great for ordinary men
to take, and the consequences would be such as few
New Hampshire democrats would care to contem-
plate, all granite though they be. Some people re-
eret that SO capable man as Mr.. Burke
should have, made 20 great mistake,

philosopher who, miracle oflogic excused himself
for being foored" by one Of the Caesars, without
much as an attempt at argument, on the sensible
ground that lie did not to argue with the master
Of forty legions. When villemain said that the
reason why in revolutionary times, the most violent
men get tie upper hand is because they have all
the towards for recruits; he did not say, nor will
hef ven taas ever the he NAV Wish it. and
proceed to enlist all the towards by political drum
beat. The difference between individual disaifec-
turn to account by making Of themselves its incar-
nations, is what l think Mr.. Burke has not sufi-
GENTLY taken into his calculations. To pluck green
irnlt is unwise, for its consumption is invariably
injurious.
The democratic papers in this State treat Mr..
Burke's manifesto very coolly. Most Of them make
no auson to it of any kind, which is the true poll
cy The city papers Of that faith are silent on it
as if it had occurred forty years age. The wing pa
pers, on the contrary, tickled with as if they
expected it to prove bombshell to the admnistra-
ton. They have not appeared in such good spirits
since they took their fogging last year. This will
hurt MIR. Burke, foi if the of Coos and the adj
acent regions should behold the wings federalists
they call them) chuckling over his production, and
under the ban mighty quick. New Hampshire gen.
temen who show federal" symptoms, are treated
as wounded deer by the herd driven forth to die.
Although the Springfield Temperance Convention
be by both friends and enemies, it did quite enough
to make some of politicians wish that the Maine
law, and everything belonging to it, laid in the
Red Sea- with as many Of Pharaohs chariot wheels
over them as should keep them there until doomsday
The subject is clearly to be put on political Wheel
and SO rushed forward the course The law, 8
it is. is worthless to its friends, who have found e
whole machinery utterly inefficient, a mere dead
The object is to get something additional and
so the temperance men to drop their party feel
ing, and go for such candidates only as shall be
pledged up to their very Dostrils for anything and
everything that the ultras may declare to be necessary
for the fruition of their hopes As have before
said, all this must work for the benefit of the wings
alone.
The Masonic celebration at Worcester, yesterday
was grand affair. How things have changed
with us in this regard Twenty years ago the half
OF us thought that the masons were sworn to kill off
all whom they did not like, after the fashion of poor
Morgan. That lodges were slaughter houses aud
cook shops, where human steaks were broed with
great skill, and consumed with immense gusto, by
gentlemen in fine regalia and little white aprons
was fast becoming the creed Of the then rising
generation. But all this has changed, and people
look back to the delusion under which they then la
bored with sort Of humorous astonshment, and
with strong doubts Of their own identity. They
think OF it as OF something that had happened in
another state of being.
