To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD: III. ss


You were mistaken, Mr.. Bennett, in saving in
your paper of Thursday, that public meeting was
held in the Sixteenth Ward the other evening to re-
gulate the business of the President of the United
States, by instructing him to remove Mr.. Yam Ness
from the Collectorship Of this port 1t was meet
ing OF part of the ward committee, a lew men who
have no personal individual weight or influence,
and who are therefore obliged to use the immense
power which the people clothed them with when
they made them committee men. They seem to
have an idea that it is necessary for the Collector
OF this port where the chief part Of the goods i'm
ported into the country are entered, to know any
thing about the revenue laws the tariff and the nice
and perPlexing distinctions which exist between
goods which seem to be what they are not, and are
not what they seem to be. Oh, no! the only thing
requisite is to have man there who will turn the
young democracie out of the Custom House and put
old hunkers in their places and then quorum of the
great committee will be satisfied, and the President
will have the credit of being thorough reformer.


This s about the extent OF the ideas of the out
side barbarians, who wish to get in and pull their
friends in after them and men of such calibre have
the impudence to blarney Mr.. Polk in one breath,
and In the next instruct him what to do. Oh ty1ni-
perry! On, Moses Would it not be good plan for
the President to dismiss his Cabinet and call some
OF these wise committeeman about him It would
be grand thing for the country generally and the
mercantile portion of the people particularly--for
then new Collector would be appointed. II is a
momentous subject, and Mr.. Polk should give ii
some moments consideration.
