ATTORNEY GksERAL.--Hon. Nathan Clifford, Of
Maine, has been appointed Attorney General Of the
Unned States, in place Of Mr.. Mason, transferred
to the Navy Department, and has entered upon his
duties. This is the first cabinet appointment ever
bestowed upon citizen of Maine and has been
most judiciously bestowed in this instance. Il is
equally honorable to the President and to the new
Attorney General that the latter received his APP
pointment without any solicitation on his part, and
without having sought il IN any way. We believe
that President Polk has disposed Of more important
Offices on this principle than any of his predecessors
and in doing so, has, in most cases, secured the
vices Of better men, than they are who manifest an
impatient Willingness TO serve the public, and can
thrive only when feeding at the public crib. s..
