APPOINTMENT BY THE PRESIDENT.

 LEVI WooDBURY, of New Hampshire, as one of the associate justices of the Supreme Court of the United States, in the place of Joseph Story, deceased.

 Upon the appointment of MT. Woodbury, the Union makes the following remarks-in the justness of which all must coincide, who properly appreciate great talents, sound de- mocracy, and pure patriotism. In our opin- ion, Mir. Woodbury is among the very few men in our country who would fill with dis tinguished honor and usefulness, any one of the highest stations under the government. Our only regret al this appointment is that we fear it will be difficult, if not impossible, to supply his place in the Senate In the probable realization of our hopes, a more ex- alted--the most exalted station in our great Republic, will, ere many years clapse, attest his worth, and reward his immaculate fdel- ty to the true principles of the constitution. He is among the few men-and they are re- ally iew-of whom we have no fear that a seat on the Supreme Court Bench can con- vert into Federalist. And we know of no higher praise to bestow on any mans Democracy. The Union says:

 "One of the most imporlant-perhaps the most mportant-appointmen which the ''Unionn has ever announced, is the one which we publish in this evenings paper It is the appointment of Levi Woodbury, esq, of New Hampshire, to the bench of the Supreme Court of the United States. En- dowed as that supreme tribunal is with great powers, it is important to fill 1t with men of the proper talents, principles, and qualitica tions. MT. Woodbury is eminently entitled to the honor, not merely on account of his public services, but more especially by his eminent accomplishments as a sound const- tutional jurist, in the maturity of his mind and the vigor of his faculties We congrat- uate the country, therefore, upon his ap- pointment. Our great regret arises from the loss of his effective and brilliant talents oil one of the great "felds of his fame,n the Senate of the United States. There he will be greatly missed-for there he has distin- guished himself by the justness of his views and the efficiency of his talents.o
