learn that the President has appointed Mr..
Nourse Collector at Bath, Maine, and a Mr.. Low
ney Collector at Belfast in the same State Both
of these men are old hunkers, and are said to have
been appointed on the instigation of Senator Fair
field. There are whispers about that the latter OF
these two gentlemen either is or has been defaul-
ter. and that the President has been misled in his
case by the Recommendations OF Senator Fairfield
and others; and 1t is said, that steps have been
taken to place the truth OF the matter before Mr..
Polk ,swith the confident expectation that he will
revoke the appointment and give the post to wor-
thi~r man.


Mr. Ellsworth, son of the Commissioner of
Patents, is said to have been appointed Charge 20
Granada, and it is also said, that this is the quid
pro quo on the strength OF which Mr.. Ellsworth,
Senior, the commissioner, is to resign his post to
make place into which the President can put
another of those ex-members OF Congress who al
most plague him to death.


Mr.. Ellnore of S. G. is said to have declined the
mission TO England. ! learn, however, tina, this p
that he will decline, as in his present situation It
would only be at a very considerable sacrifice OF
pecuniary remuneration, and future prospects, that
he could accept There will, therefore, be a va
fOr her I
from pretty good authority that the post will very
probably indeed be offered to Mr.. Andrew Steven
son OF Virginia. Mr.. Richie, am informed, is
very deslrous that Stevenson should have it as he
wanted Stevenson if possible to have had the State
Department. Mr.. Stevenson will probably 60.


The Postmaster General, in his Instructions to
the Deputy Postmaster, announces that the spe-
cial mail agents will be discontinued soon after
the new bill goes into operation. This announce
ment has brought here Mr.. Eaton, special agent
tor New York State, who, am informed, is Roto-
rous tor being the most Inefficient OF all the ineffi-
cent mail agents, his sole employ having been po-
liticai huckstering. Considerable effort has been
madeto have him removed, and this IN conjunc.
tlon with the announcement OF the intended dis
continuance of hthe Office have brought kim here,
with the view of either keeping the Office In exis-
tence for his own peculiar benefit, or else receiving
another and better and fatter one on its discontinue
ance. To accomplish these purposes, understood
he comes arracd with a letter from Governor Silas
Wright, which is said 10 be endorsed "to be
showd tn Mr.. Johnson, but act 10 be put on the
files Of the Department, AZ / have refused to give
letters to O.her persons" his has pus various and
nnd.v Of the New Workers in perfect furor, and
tiey profess to be waiting with as much composure
as they can conveniently summon 10 their aid, to
see whether Governor Virgins name is so all
powerful, and that In the case OF an ineftlcien.
man too, as to secure whatever he chooses TO want
IL this be the case, they profess their willingness to
go home, and commence the fight against the ad.
mlnIstration and Mr.. Wright at once.
The Benton-Van Buren-Wright clique, though
a.. how.
ever, take every opportunity they to show their
spite. The valedictory of the handsome Mr.. Blair
IN the GLOBE, was about as bitter as words could
posslblybs made TO express thoughts, and spoke
very Taai1ly the feelings with which Mr. Blair re-
cftsedhis abrupt dismissal. He very plainly show
cd that,ke didn't approve Of being 'kicked'' out
Taen comes the chapter Of comment from the A.
the "disnssap' was received at the head quarters
of the clique. Then Senator Dix comes here to
take the supervision of the affairs of the clique gen.
bic man who is not quite so well known. .and there
tore not quite go open TO attack as Thomas Hart
Benton Then, besides, the 'sold hunkers" are
commencing to discontinue their subscription te
the Globe to show their dislike OF Mr.. Bairs forced
retiracy and the transfer Of the organship to
Mr.. Ritchie. have heard of several instances Of
this nature within the past few days, and one in
particular was that OF the Honorable Ex.Se..
nstor Benjamin Tappan, Horticultnralisl and
Floriculturst to the United States generally, and
concho!ogst and meddler in general to the expor-
ing expedition remains particularly. This hon.
TO %bes es Of
der, paid In advance, refunded to him, in order
that he might discontinue Immediately, and thus
testify his dissatisfaction at recent events Putting
all these things together, and viewing the failure
Of the new organ 70 give satisfaction as inevitable,
many persons say that they should not be surprised
if less than twslve months were TO see the Globe
redlvlvne. under the charge OF Blair & Rives, and
IT Ia said that Blair made the change Of name
condition oftransfer, with an eye to this movement
IN the future. The name OF the new organ, / learn
ilon me best authority, IS to be the Union" The
prospectus or Mr.. Richie is now in the city. but
have not been able to learn its purport. Every one
IS anxious tor It's appearance.


Mr. Polk's present course appears not to please
any body lie has not pursued any decided plan
.Young Democracie," both of whom are dissatis
fled in consequence. The "Youug Democracie," )"
particularly, say that they nominated, canvassed,
and elect,oneered for, and elected James K. Polk,
and 1t he had confided In them they would have
carried him in triumph through his administration.
He has NOT done this, but the contrary has given
the best and the greatest number of offices to the
"Old Hunkers;" and the "Youug Democratic"
say, that he will find out, too late, that the Old
Hunkers cant and wont sustain him. and he will
regret the course he has pursued. when too late.


The flock Of the old bunker Clique, which was
here few days ago, boring the President to death
to remove Mr.. Van Ness, and some others, has
very sensibly diminished. There is only stray
bird or two here and there now. The President
very summaIily dismissed them, almost as much
so as he did Mr.. Blair He told them, or caused
them to be told, that if they did not clear out, he
would not appoint single person Of either OF them,
or those whom they recommended, but would send
special mission to ascertain who were suitable
persons for such Offices as he designed to fill, and
would appoint them. This was conveyed 10 them
in such an explicit, unmistakeable manner, that
they concluded it was best to absquatuIate; and,
accordingly, they are gone. =
