Wasninoron, March 10, 1849, Every day aflerds some new indication of the bold and independent charecter of President Tay- Jor. A few days since he was desired by a num- ber of influential gentleman to remove Mr. Camp- | bell, the present Consul at Havana, and fill his | lace by some one who had distinguished himself n the late Presidential contest, in favor ot the | General. Addressing the deputation, the Presi- | dent asked, “ Is Mr. Sampbel honest?” * Yes,” | ‘was the answer. “Ie he capable?” “Y he attended faithfully to his dutie s0' ea,” “Then I cannot remove him,” said the old hero, emphatically; and his visiters were obliged to Jeave without swerving him trom his purpose, | More recently another deputation waited on him for the purpose of soliciting him to remove a gen- ueman who had faithfully served the country in the office which he held. The same interrogato- Ties were propounded, and the same answers @ven. “I cannot remove him,” said the Presi- dent. “But, sir,” continued one of the number, ‘have the goodness to make a memorandum ot this matter, and probably you may have occasion © alter your mind.” ‘No memorandum is neces- ry, gentlemen,” was the reply. “What Ihave | ade up my mind to do is never forgotten.

Collamer I know not. To me he is even unknown by reputation, i . From all I know of the men composing it, Meredith 18, by far, the ablest man of tie cabinet. His acquisitions are universal, and always ready at his command, for practical application. Whut he knows not he can acquire at a glance, as it were, by intuition. In this respect he is a won- dertul man, far above any man we have here. If he is deficient at all, it may be that he lacks the power of continued application to one thing, and 18 indisposed to make preparation for the exhibition ot any subject, elaborately, trom its first principles to its ultimate results, and that with unshaken contidence in his power, which never torsakes emergencies as they arise. If this be so, 1t may prevent an application of his immense power, aided as it is by his git of anaight, from laying down and establishing a vast fiuancial system, freed from the defects and obscurities of the pre- sent, and adapted to the wants of our country and to its augmented and augmenting relations with the whole world. In one respect, he is the very opposite of Walker, the late secretary; for Walker's whole force lay 1n his faculty ot protracted appli- cation to one thing; whereas Meredith owes every thing to an intuitive faculty of universal insight. A subject but passes before his mind, and it is at once seized, made its own, and, as it were, fused into it. Meredith is a man ot no pretensions or ussumptions; has an off-hand, familiar manner; accustomed to appear at the bar here with the mightiest of cases, and arguing them with a power unparallelied, Without even a note, Instinctively commanding little respect for ability, those who know him not have but little reverence tor his power. It isnot until there is a necessity for its display that you perceive it, and then you are taken by surprise. I know no man in the country who unites the same momentum of mind with the same dexterity. Heis a man, however, having no heart eympathies. His heart is in his under- standing, and probably (though familiar to all alike, friends and foes) 1s without capacity fortrue iriendship. He is, under an exterior ef great sim- plicity, as cunning as a fox. No man can catch hi Napping, or outwit him practically. In this respect he tar surpasses honest John Davis, who, in sly practical cunning, has not many superiors. This lattertact may be news to you, but it is never- theless afact. Our Horace Binney was, for a time, mentioned for the place. Heis a man greatly overrated--a technical lawyer, fettered by old rules and ancient lore, made up by self-pretensions to greatness, nar- row-hearted, with narrow mind, but educatable and highly educated within its range; selfish as Mammon, with one usetul merit only—never-tirin, industry; but an industry ever firmly pursuing a self- ishend. It Binney serves another, 1t is always for some benefit to himseli. Hence the sentiment of true patriotism 18 foreign to his nature, and he has no fitness fer public place—for a man tobe a wholesome public, agent, must have a large soul, thoroughly penetrated with genuine benevoe lence, possess an ample share ot beneficence— must, in a word, love to do good, the attribute of the great Ruler, everywhere se signally seen in the laws that govern his universe. Josiah Randall was the candidate of the Phila- delphia whig clique, par excellence. He was uiged on Taylor because it was known that he would have served his partizan friends, who were serving him—the men who certified him in order that he might certily them, according to the old system, against which Taylor promises war. The most emphatic organ of the clique here, 18 the Daily News. Not one word has it said in favor of Meredith. Onthe 3d of March you will see, if you look at the paper of that date, and its Wash- ington letters, that it was connected with the party that sought to drive Meredith out of the cabinet, to make room for Randall. And now you will see its indirect attacks on Taylor. Look at the letters ot its Yeahmatce correspondent in yesterday’s paper. You willsee the side slaps at the President himself. as) i The clique has its representative in the cabinet in the person of Clayton, to whom they sing eter- nal hosannas. He 1s a candidate for the presiden- cy, and they seek to use him, and he them. Inthe summer time, when he 18 at home, they are at his house, in Delaware, every week or two, feasting on his viands, and mellowing themselves over his wines. The Swiss Conrad, whose pea by turns has served every faction and every cause, and the slippery, Jesuitical McMichael ot the North Ame- rican, and that set, are all of the same party. Clayton is a mere partizan—little or nothing else— with the faculties that make up the one-sided ad- vocate, plausible and seeming fair, but with no grand truth-loving and truth-seeking principle, and, withal, sly, under the appearance of open- hearted trankness. Meredith, however, whom Clayton’s frends hate, (torno reason other than that they cannot use him,) can outwithim, and play with him, so skilfully too, it he please, that the dupe will never know that he is duped; for Meredith 16 in all things a giant compared with ham, but, for a man with so large a share of direct power, too much disposed to act indirectly. Clay- ton and the clique 1 have mentioned, are Clay’s friends, and represent the Clay interest Mere- dith 1s Webster's frend—a man of infinite re- sources anu Pretean tact, and is more than a match | for them all. Hesyou will remember, withdrew from the firet Pennsylvania whig convention that nominated Harrison for President, because it would not nominate Webster; and he retused, on that avowed ground, to participate in its proceed- ings, and was appointed by Webster, when Secre- tary of State, United States District Attorney for this district, Meredith will serve Taylor and the country faithfully, (tor fidelity to a trust is one of his chief characteristics,) and the maa in the cabinet, should there be such a one, who attempts to trip him, will probably himself get a fall, and be laughed at tor his pains. Thave devoted a large share af this letterto Meredith and to Clayton, because the former isa man new to the country and to you, and a man of reat power, genius, and acquisitions, and because think the latter (though umiyersally praised by his party) is not properly estimated. Besides, it 1s well enough to give youa glance into the secrets of the real estate of things, and a hint at the causes which induced a portion of the whigs ot Peansyl- Vania to oppose Meredith’s appointment so warmly. You will do well to bear these hints in mind, for your better understanding tuture developements as they occur. In view of the state of things indicated by them, I told you in my last, that the first blow against ‘Laylor would probably come from his own party. No, not frem his own party, for that is the whole country, but from a contemptible clique, having its centre here, selfish and narrow-souled, who have, for years, assumed to possess all the pa- triotiem, wisdom, purity, and gentility of the country, and have opened the batteries of their de- huneiations against those of all parties who dared to dispute their infallible pretensions. They will feck to obtain place, and manage tor their selfish interests, through Clayton, and by such appliances as their unscrupulous wits may command; aad if they tail, you will soon hear the cry that the country 18 in ruins, the constitution outraged, We. We, in whole columns of reckless assertions and burning words without ideas. ar H., 1 know these men, and know them well. Connected with no ae having no interests in the fortunes of any clique, I say nothing, take no part, but sit quietly by and look through the cloaks under which others seek to conceal their purposes. Let me, however, re you that General Taylor 1: no quack, but, a8 Carlisle says, a true, genuine man of power, whom no man or set of men can long deceive, and who will neither be governed by his partialiues nor his animosities. He 18 honest, sincere, true-hearted, and oe et po single- hearted. He will be the Preside.t of the nation. It the men of the nation will only stand by him, we will have what we have not had tor many years— “the liberty to know, to alter, and to argue freely, according to conscience,” without being dena- tionalized and deprived of the rights of citizens to a share in the government of their country, For, in truth, such has been the party tyranny prevailit during the most ot my day, that no man coul PhP we rath er preetunm i. without being an cut: 18@ prosy man, withont sprightliness or on the war law toboth partiés, and, therefore, deprived of all right to serve hie country as a i¢ servant. inder promises of General Taylor, I can once more breathe freely—the lungs of my mind seem to have full play, and, for one, I serve this tion of individuality, unfe party proscription or party bi and will sup- port his administration until I find hus premises a mockery, and the hopes excited by them vain de- jusions. * * * * * * Ihave written this running commentary on men and th with the greatest haste, knowing that our intelligence will supply all I could have more haly or better said.

The Hinchman Consyiracy Case—Musnc, §c. The detence in the Hinchman conspiracy case» was commenced last evening by J. Williams Bid- dle, Esq., one of the counsel on that side. He stated that the proceedings were commenced at the desire of Morgan Hinehman’s mother and wife, who believed that his mental health required con- finement and proper treatment, to avert a more confirmed attack of his ailment—that Morgana Hinchman shocked his mother and wife, shortly after his marriage, by relating that he had takena considerable sum of money from the bank ef which he was teller, and he felt that sf he did not rise up in meeting and tell it, that would strike his oldest child dead. This they found to be true, but believed it must have been done while insane. The defence also aver that oy can prove insane acts for the past nie years. The court adjourned over till Monday morning, when the witresses to rove insanity will be brought forward. The num- ber of persons implicated 1m the charge, will hin- der them from appearing as witnesses. An effort has been made to overcome this difficulty, by the counsel for the defence moving that verdicts of acquittal be entered for several of them, in order that they can appear and testify to facts within their knowledge. Gungl’s band attracted a ane audience, last evening, at the Musieal Fund Hall. Their music is creating quite a furore among the Philadelphians.

Festival of St. Patrick—A Clear Day--‘ Jesse Rural,” Mayor--A Good Example--Tom Hyer --The Campbells, &¢. The annual festival of the Hibernia Society of Baltumore, will take place this evening, at Thurs- ton’s Fountain Hotel, and will be a grand affair. By the way, the sun is shining out brightly this morning, and there is every prospect of a beautiful day, which will be the first fair day on record for St. Patrick’s festival. The Mayor of Baltimore is one of those good, honest old souls, that makes himself frequently ridiculous, without actually knowing that he is doing so. He 18 a perfect “Jesse Rural,” in every phase of his character, and falls into as many blunders as that worthy divine did, all having their origin in the goodness of his heart and an accommodating disposition. Yesterday he sent a message to the Council, recommending an increase of the salaries of the City Commis- sioners, which contained the substance of a con- yersation and the arguments of the incumbents in behalt of the proposed advance. eer doubtless intended that the old gentleman should make the application as if at his own suggestion, without any allusion to. their solicitation; but the old fel- low knows nothing about chicanery and cunning, and told the Council the whole story as it had been told to him. The ice-dealers of Baltimore have formed a combination against the delivery of ige on Sunday. They propose to deliver more on Saturday, instead of ey morning. 3 Tom Hyer has passed through Baltimore, on his way to Kent county, to answer the charge of prize fighting. It 1s expected that he will be fined $1,000 and allowed to depart, on account of the inability of the authorities to catch Sullivan. However, he is securing able ceunsel, who will work on the feelings et the jury, and perhaps induce them to render a verdict against Sullivan of “sarved him se he ‘Campbell Minstrels,” since their com- mencement at Carroll Hall, have modified their performances to suit the Baltimore taste, and are now drawing fine houses. os, Batimorg, March 16, 1849. Oficial Neglect of Alms Howse Oficers—Extension of Baltimore ana ohto Kauroad. The bad management ot our alms house for the past three years, has recently been fully exposed to our citizens by a minority report from Mr: Quinlan, a member ot the committee of the coun- cil eppeinted to examine the institution. The ma- jority of the committee sat down to their wine, ice cream, boned turkies, &c., whilst Mr. Quinlan wentto work among facts and figures. The ma- jority presented their usual soft soap and stereo- type edition of a report praising all they saw and everything they did not see, viewed through their sparkling champagne glasses. To Mr. (Quinlan’s brief statement of facts, proving incontestably the unfitness of those having charge of the institution at present, the trustees replied in a long harangue of special Pleading, that only served to a ireagthen the accusation made against them ; but the strings of party were brought to bear on the matter, and by a strict party vote the whole matter has been hushed up. - The extension of the Baltimore and Ohio Rail- road from Cumberland to the Ohio river, 18 to be commeneed early in the spring. The eontracts for some thirty sections will be given out in the middle of April, and are to be pushed en with great activity. The income of the road is rapidly increasing, averaging over $100,000 per month, which, with the offers of loans from fore:gn capi- talists, the company declare their conviction that the work can now be steadily and rapidly prose- cuted to the Ohio.

The first note would appear to have been written after he had fully made up his mind to kill his unfortumate paramour, but ashort time before the deed was committed, addressed to no t, probably, was intended for Mr. H.

Atasama Coat.—The Mobile Herald, of the 1st inst., speaking of the coal mines, at Tuscaloesa, in that State, saya:—The coal trade with us can be pushed to almost any extent. Our own national mail and merchant steamers navigating to the Gulf, will soon find their advantage in following the example of the British mail steamers. In view, then, of this growmg and important branch of in- dustry, it becomes the moneyed and enterprismg men of this city and Tuscaloosa to form associ- ations at once and enter into such arrangements for mining and transportation as will insure a con- tant and ample supply both in the city and at the Pomt. Some more economical mi ie, we doubt not, will hereafter be Bdogted for transportation than by flat boats, It will be too expensive, to say nothing of delay, to discharge the coal on the city wharves, and then reship to the Pot. Barges of @ proper construction and tonnage, with steam tows, would, we believe, be the best and cheapest kind of eeree After discharging their coal, they would, if desirable, be able to obtain more or less freight for the interior. The steamer of the Ist of February took 50 tons, and on her return from Vera Cruz 110 tons more for experiment. We have heard, in general terms, the result onl; of,the first parcel. It gave entire satisfaction, ani compared with the best Welch coal, was found equal in almost every respect and superior in some properties. Among the brevet promotions by the late ad- ministration was that of Col. George Talcott, of the Ordnance Department, to the rank of Briga- dier General in the U. 8. army. Col.
