Court of the United States of America. Frank

Associate Justices. The Administration, u.s.
John Wilson, late Commissioner of the General
Land Office.
Opinion by PIERCE, G. being member Of
the American party, and entertaining the opinion
that Americans should rule America, is sufficient
ground per Sc, for prompt removal from the office
Of Commissioner of the General Land Office, the
incumbent having faithfully performed its duties,
and never having brought his individual or official
influence to bear against Southern institutions in
favor of Freesoilers and Abolitonists
Democratic Party South "a. Reeder Governor Of
Kansas.
Opinion by PIERCE, G. J.--Being Free-Soiler
and Aboltionst, is no valid objection to appoint
ment to Office under this administrations; and a
fortiori, is not good cause for removal from OF.
fee Of one hitherto appointed.
Neither docs the fact that the party holds the
office of Governor of Territory in which the
question of slavery is not yet settled and in the
elections uses his personal and official influence
against the slavery party and in favor Of free-so,
make stronger case against him; as this is to be
regarded az but the natural consequence OF the
sentiments entertained by him when appointed to
office.--iSouthern Mercury
On rehearing Of the case last named, it be-
Ing suggested that the continuance Of the incum
bent in Office would operate injuriously upon the
elections now approaching in the South and South.
west, the Court decided that there was good cause
for removal outside the record-Pierce, Chief Jus.
tice observing, that the incumbent might be pro.
vided for after the elections should transpire, to
which the Associate Justices assented.

SARATOGA, July 23, 1855.

SARATOGA, July 20, 1855.
DEAR Sin. I did not receive till last evening
your note of the 18th instant, addressed to me at
Baltimore, and covering your card TO the public,
in which reference Is made to a cow ersation be-
tween the Nunco Of the Pope at Madrid and my
sell, about the appointment Of Mr.. Campbell as
member Of the present Cabinet at Washington.
If had sooner seen or heard Of the contents Of
your card, | should have deemed It my duty to
reply at TO that portion Of II which refers to
myself and to this matter.
You are mistaken as to the puport of the re-
marks made TO me by the representative Of the
Pope at Madrid. II was not that he knew before
hand that Mr.. Campbell would be appointed, and
as member of the Catholic Church, or that he
knew anything about It before the appointment
was actually made. What have said, and what
repeat is, that before / had any certain news Of
the formation Of the Cabinet, and while it's consti
tuition was still in doubt, and the subject Of con-
lecture in the public mind at Madrid, he told me
that Mr.. Campbell was appointed, and that he was
Catholic which was the first information had
Of either fact
/ did not at all suppose that he had any previous
knowledge Of an intention to appoint this gen.
tleman TO Office, or that he knew or had any
reason TO believe II was done, in pursuance Of
any bargain or intrigue to this effect, on the part
Of any persons whatsoever.
The inference made was, that the appointment
Of Catholic to this high office, being, naturally,
cause Of much interest and satisfaction TO the
church Of that faith especial pains had been taken
in some quarter to communicate the earliest intel
ligence Of that fact TO the leading members of the
Catholic priesthood.
II is proper to add that, having seen in Raleigh
paper brief, and what appeared to be an imper-
feet report Of the speech recently made in Wash
ington by the Hon. Kenneth Rayner, in which
there occurred similar statement, though some
what different in detail from that contained In
your card, and in which my name was quoted as au-
thority, took the earliest opportunity the 9th
instant, to write him note for the purpose Of cor
recting the erroneous impressions which might so
readily be made on the public mind, however I'M
Intentionally, from such reference to a casual
conversation in social intercourse, without writ

The HEALTH OF NORFOLK AND PoKrsMoUrH.-
The rumors from Norfolk in relation TO the yellow
fever have been considerably exaggerated. The
Herald Of Wednesday says
The whole number of cases Of fever remaining
over on Monday at P. NJ was eight. Since then
there have been six new cases. and no death. All
che cases have occurred IN Bary's row not one
being known 10 exist beyond il. There have been
twentythree cases in all, (none of them, be II re-
membered, beyond Barry's row. Fourteen are
now under observation-disclosures of them not very sick,
and the probability is that they win recover. The
public at home and abroad may rest assured that
this statement is correct, and that our city, with
this exception, enjoys its usual good health.
The Norfolk News also says the disease is ON the
wane, the panic over, and the public mind more
quiet,
DIR. Kemp, President of the Baltimore Board Of
Health, reports that official accounts have been
received from Norfolk and Portsmouth, contain
ing intelligence up to o'clock, p NJ, of Wednes-
day. There were in Norfolk, in the preceding "a
hours, two new cases Of fever reported, and one
death. There are sixteen cases of fever in the in
fected row, which, with three exceptions, are gem
orally Of mild character Since the appearance
of the yellow fever in Gosport, there have been
between so and 10 cases and 20 deaths. AS yet
there has been no case which cannot be traced
TO Gosport.
