This is merely the beginning of the fun--a small
mouthful to whet the appetite for the rest of the
feast The character of these removals is very Gu
rious and somewhat mysterious. They seem to be
made principally among the democrats, for we find
that only two wings have got their walking papers.
What is more singular STILL is the fact that some of
these democrats were among the warmest support
ers of Mr.. Polk. Several members of the Empire
Club are comprised in the list of decapitated al
though Capt Rynders, the chiefof that precious and
pious coniederation-the Don Giovanni of democra-
cy-is still retained and will be- he having been ap-
pointed by Mr.. Van Ness at the particular request of
Mr.. Secretary Walker-Mr. Polk requiring it for
some Interior purpose Yet is not fair to dismiss
the working men of the club, while retaining the
chief spirit Some of the leading wings are still in
office The "od boy specs" is still snugly seated
at his public desk, and willprobaby remain there, for
all Collectors have had wholesome fear of touching
that character.



Tyler men, for two thirds of those removed were
formerly numbered among the leading spirits of the
immortal dynasty Of Capt. Tyler Herrck Il Ropes
two former editors of the aurora, which died one
day Of inaniy, are still retained, and may be-as
they have formidable bow and culver full Of ar
rows in the shape of Sunday paper, with which
they might do some mischief in a small way.


On the whole, we are pretty well satisfied with
these removals and appointments although they
have stirred up good deal of alarm around the
town but think, as the venerable Collector has
put his hand to the business, he may well go on
and finish what he has so dexterousy begun. Don't
keep the poor devils in agony with sword hanging
over them suspended by single hair, like thai
which the great locofoco, Dionysius OF Syracuse,
held over the head Of Damocles, philosopher and
inspector of old horses, in that wonderful place.
