nothing dismayed. and had his private ear ready
TOR the petition OF the poor woman who wished a
reprieve for some friend in the Penitentiary; as
well as for the claim of the most presumptuous de.
mandant for office. But there is one singular phe-
nomenon attending vislters upon the President and
his Ministers o.wt these vslters almost invariably
in with smile, which EXHIBITS their teeth in both
laws oack to their grluders;when iheycome out their
mouths are heTmeiIlcally sealed, (with an excep-
ton now aud hen) and their visages are elongated
to a most dismal d,stenslon. Governor Morton of
Massachusetts,, having been graciousy provided |
for, IS now benevoently on the ground giving his |
friends lift. He introduced several to the Presi-
dent this morning. He seems TO be the controlling
agent OF the democracy OF Massachusetts at head,
quarters. Strange, that man whose political
elevation is resolvable to the invaluable vote of
solitary abolit'onlst should have such influence
with Captain Polk, who, according to3Roorback,
brands his negroes with red hot iron. We warn
the abolitionlsts OF Massachusetts to be on their
guard against Governor Morton. II is actually
said that he was asking the price OF " stout
aegra boy' IN the Avenue to-day.

among us for the guild pro quo He comes with
strong recommendations from Chatham street, and
we believe is looking after the supervision OF
the contracts for clothing for the army. We go

wanted king, Captain Polk gave them Langtry,
of Tenn, as their Collector, but, as he an
Irlshman this would not do, and they accordingly
protested. He then made their Deputy Collector

Ratclitie and the regular democracy are appealing
again for an arrest of judgment, as they are deter
mined that Captain Polk shall not be bamboozled
by the whigs who are chucking over the last ap-
polntment clincher to the hopes of Radcliffe.
We expect that the Captain will hardly be per-
suaded To "try again" HaHa


Hon. Thomas l.. Hamer. of Ohio, appears, after
all, TO be the favorite man in connection
with the control of the Patept-ofiice His appoint
ment is, perhaps, the more likely, from the fact
that he was never decided Van Buren politician,
though thorough going Polk man. He came very
near at one time, however, sliding into Tylerlsm,
which would have damned him in perpetuity.
