NEWARK, N. j., July 2, lSi5.
Remopais and dppoiatments--The Postmaster Flu


neral Obsequies 10 Gen jackson, &c.


The long arm of the President has at length reach
ed us; and our efficient and worthy democratic Post
Master, Colonel Plume, has been removed to give
place to one Wilson Knott, who hoated here on the
Morris Canal some years since, having been an
agent upon these works. Thus has Colonel Plume,
who has always resided among us, and an officer
IN the late war, been displaced without cause or
motive, and am free to assert that no act of the
President could have given more general dssatis
faction TO his party. He received his appointment
from Mr.. Tyler, 1t is true, but with the appreciation
OF the whole delegation in Congress from this State,
which were elected by democrats. In this matter
the President must have been lily advised, and
gross frauds practlsed upon him from some quarter
The appointment, although made by Mr.. Tyler, was
highly approved by both parties, and the leaders of
the democratic party took steps TO prevent the re-
mova, but it of no avail. This step has caused
a general feeling of Indignation among sober
rejecting citizens. Had ii been necessary to make
this change in our Post Office, other selections
might have been made from the democratic ranks
far more acceptable and far more competent. But
the wishes OF the community were not consulted,
and we have palmed upon us man who has no
claims as a citizen, neither is he capable of dis
charging the duties of the Office. He however, is
now receiving the aid and advice of an old whig
postmaster, who may teach HIM few lessons IT he
is apt scholar.


We hope for the best, but very much fear the Sc
lection is decidedly bad one, and will prove So


Our funeral ceremonies of the death of General
Jackson to-day was "a brilliant affair the procession
only equaled by that of General Harrison Our mi
liary companies generally paraded, and made a
most beautiful display.


Should an opportunity present ITSELF we should
be most happy TO receive a visit from you. | can
not close without first complimenting your very
worthy agent here Mr.. Smith, one of the most eff
cient and worthy fellows. We wish you success in
your enterprises. We are an OLD SUBSCRIBER
