We understand that the Secretary Of the Interior

COMMISSIONER OF INDIAN AFFAIRS.

The President has appointed Mr. Denver, ex-member Of
Congress from California 10 the Office of Commissioner OF
Indian Affairs
This Is very delicate and important Office and Denver
Is very poorly fitted for IT, He is rough and reckless
fellow, and viii be likely get into trouble with
the Indians any that could have been appointed
[Chcdgo Journal
We clip the above from the Chicago Journal and are
happy to have it in power TO fatty contradict the
statement We have been personally acquainted with
Gen. Denver several years know him to be an intelli
gent sober thoughtful knew him in the California
senate here he served four years. of the most
reliable of that body at time when it compared IA
yoaby with any similar body in the United States From
his long experience among the Indians upon western
frontier, and his firm, resolue character esteem the
appointment excellent one rejecting credit upon the
administration. Dubuque Express.
With those who enjoy the pleasure of personal
acquaintance with General Denver this silly fling of
the Chicago Journal will excite deeper feeling
than that of contempt. Few persons have more de-
voted friends and admirers than General d.. and
he owes his present position and past successes in
the political field to his strict integrity of character
his unfaltering devotion to the principles of the demo
cratic party, and to those winning comteBies of man
ner which flow from a true and generous heart.

THE PROSPECT IN PENNSYLVANIA.

The democracy OF Fennsyiyania evince no dispo.
son to repose upon their gloriousy-won laurels Of
last year. They have entered upon the pending
State campaign with zeal, confidence, and an en-.
thusiasm which cannot fail, we think of being at
tended with the most triumphant results. The Ian
caster Intelligencer says:
ave anticipate for General Packer noble standard
bearer easy and triumphant victory his compet
itor. All the sophistry and special pleading of Wimot
whether on off the stump, will avail him but little
when he to encounter the giant blows of his stu
dy democratic antagonist The doom of black republi-
canism is already sealed the handwriting upon the
wall and the second Tuesday of October will effect
uay and forever settle its condemnation at the ballot
bog.
Pennsylvania has BEEN, Is, and WILL CONTINUE
TO Be true to the CONSTITUTION and the UNION -

THE IOWA ELECTION.

According to the telegraphic reports the black re-
pubicans carried the State of Iowa by very large
majority at the late election. We did not credit
these reports at tho time Of their publication, and
we are pleased to discover that the intelligence re-
ceived by the mails fully confirms want of faith
We copy the following from the Davenport Democrat
of the issue Of April IA;

different counties in the State, satisfied that the
entire democratic State ticket is elected and the State

gubeatoal chair which he disgraces and the voice Of
the people is again heard loudly rebuking the DEM
agogues and cormptonists who have led them to the
very verge of national anarchy and sought to debauch
patriotism, and prepare the way for revolution that
could end only in the national ruin Reason has again
assembled the throne long sured by passion and old
Jacksoan democracy with its broad constitutional plat
FORM again reigns sovereign in the ascendant.
Last November the union of know-nothings, repub

to defeat the democracy by 1000 votes plurality,

black republcanism has been unmasked and the traitors

THE OLD DOMINION.

The Richmond Enquirer closes long and very
ablywritten article on the approaching elections in
Virginia as follows:
Now is the time to determine whether the demo-
cratic party to be the sole standard bearer of the South
in the next struggle with the enemy of all the
southern people, whether opposition is to arise
strong enough to divide vote and give the victory to
the black republicans And it is question for the pco
pie of Virginia perhaps to settle at their elections in MAY
That the democracy will triumph in every congressional
district there is little for rational doubt But the
voice of the people should be unanimous as TO leave
no hope for the formation OF an opposition party Those
gentlemen who are now opposing in every county of
the State free to admit, actuaed by motives
of the pBres patriotism but while we think they arc
wrong and regret that they not with us, have lit

tons long political contests are confined to the
State and not carried into the arena of the nation At
the late election it fortunate for the Union that Mr.
Fillmores friends few and in 1854 VIC may not
be able IN dispense even with Maryland
"The contest may turn upon still more delicate point
In view Of this not improbable emergency involving the
safety of the South and the Union we most earnestly
hope implicitly believe, that the vote of Virginia
in May will be such 70 afford 10 encouragement 6 pre-

THE NEW YORK APPOINTMENTS.

We copy the following from the New York Daily,
News: ....
"The appointments to federal Offices within this State
made since the date of last allusion to this subject
continue to be of the most satisfactory and popular de-
scrption Like that of Mr.. Schell and others in this
city they appear to be received with general content by
all democrats to whatever former division belonging In
deed they have already done much to aay and obter
ate the feelings of anmosity which formerly existed
among rival sections of the party. Let the adminstra
ton proceed in it's selections Of democrats for office in the
rural districts of the State with the sagacty and
the same determination to choose only the most efficient
locally popular and deserving menmen of undertaking
democracy and unobectionable antecedents- the

RECIPROCITY

The Newburyport Herald, referring to the late ac-
tion of the Massachusetts clergy relative to the gov
ernor's proclamation for fast, says:
1T is singular how sensitive the clergy when pol
tcians address them upon their duties but three thou
sand of them in New England thought there perfect
propriey in their advising the United States Senate when
the Nebraska bill under consideration. They ought
to be willing take what they give and II they do not
wish governors and politicians to trouble them they
should bc more careful how they interfere with governors
and politicians"

A SIGN

The call of the back-repubicans of Massachusetts
for State convention has been Withdrawn, and the
reason assigned for the withdrawal is that no inter-
est is felt in the subject by the people, not single
town or district having elected delegates, or taken
any of the steps necessary to secure representation
This must be extremely mortifying to the kallochs
and Parkers.
