Wasmwaroy, March 24, 1853 TUK CHARGRS AGAINST GOV, RAMSAY, HTC, ‘The Senate proceeded to the consideration of Mr. Wal- ker’s resolution, authorizing the committee on Indian Af- | fairs to delegate one of their number to proceed, during the rece is of Congress, to take testimony in the matter now on reference to said committee, touching cortain frauds 4 to have been committed by Alexander Ram- | say and others, in the paying of money to certain bands of Sioux Indians, Mr. Heyer, (dem.) of Va., objected to the delezation of such power toa single member of a committee daring arecess. No preceleut than this could be more dangor- ous. The subject properly should be investigated by a szecial commission from the executive. Mr. Sewanp, (fgee soil) of N. ¥., asked what the charges against Ramsey were ? Mr. Warsen, (dem.) of Wis, replied—In making pay- ment to the Indians in paper money, through a thied person, causing a loss to the Indians’ of ficteen per cent, and withholding-money from certain half breeds, Mr’ Walker suid the committee could proceed no further with: out the testimony of certain persons ia Minnesota; and henee the object of the resolution. ‘Thousands of dollars are in that territory, and it was therefore noorssary, looking to the safety of the whites, to give some asad. ranee that the matters of whish the Indians complain should be considered and settled, Mr. Bropurap, (dein.) of T'a., sald ho had scrved with Mr. Ramsey in Congress, and knew him when he (Me. Ramsey) wax Clerk to the House of Representatives of Pennsylvanin, of which State he was a native. It was due to say thai mr Ramsey, during thet time, main- tained a good chnraxter for integrity. It was proper the charges should be investigated or dismnived. Mr. SkWAKD remarked he kuew Mr. Rawsey well, and did not believe the charges against him true, and pressed a prompt investigation. Mr. HunTeR replied to Mr. Walker, saying it was the mode of investigation to which he objec'ed He thought it was a matter of executive inquiry. and objected toa single member of the Indian Comumitiee conducting the business in the recess There was further debate a3 to the power to delegate one member for the purpose indiexted, and the necessity waa pressed for a prompt inquiry into'the matter, The consideration of the subject was postponed until to-morrow, and the Senate went into executive seasion, MOTION TO ADJOURN TILL MONDAY—INTERESTING DEBATE— SENATORS DISAPPEARING, BTC. When the doors were opened, Mr. Part (dem.) of Ia. moved that whan the Senate adjourn, it adjourn to meot on Monday next. Mr. Hovsron (dem.) of Texas, anid the Senator should not prost the motion, as they could spend their timo in acting gn nominations and treaties. Mr. Cast, (free soil) of Ohio, said it was known they could not adjourn sine die until the President informed them he had no further, eommunieation to make, and he was willing (o remain to-day end act upon the treaties Mr. Divors, (whig) of N. C., was willing to stay. if any good was to be accomplished, but it-was evident there ‘was no quorum, and they had better adjourmtill Monday. Mr, Boustox ‘said he was disposed to stay hero without taking a bite, until every particle of tho business was dispored of. On Monday, ceriginly, there will not. be a quorum here, and lie did not care about recoiving his six- teen. dollars without rendering service for it. He had rather be on his way home a thouvand times. He be- lieved they were only trifling with their duties, when thoy kept adjourning over two days without any 200d result. ir. Buacur, (dem ) of Ga., thought they would expe- dite business by adjourning over ti!l Saturday. There was not a quorum, because gentlemon felt compelled to go to the other end of the avenue on business. Mr. Citasx was exceedingly anxious for an adjournment sine die, and would, if he could, dispose of all the execa- tive business to day, but it was known the exeoutive ex- pected them to remain during the next week. A Vorcr—How do you know that? Mr. Cuase—I have heard it so said by senators who resume to know. At all events, itis not usual to ad- journ untilwe have an intimation from the President that he is done with us. Mr. Hovstox—If gentlemen have so much business with the departments, it would aid the adminis:ration in getting through its appointments, if we sit here day and night. If ‘n, the departments will be so beset, that they will ingle thing. (Laughter. ) want, to, remain here to save them from importunities. We shall be ina bad fix on Saturday; if the Senators turned loose on Friday. (Renewed laughter.) gHowever, he was wil- ling, to morrow being Good Friday, to adjourn over. Mr. Masox, (Gem) of Va.—The experience cf yester day and today shows that unless we sitffrom day to day; the business of last session, on which we were engaged to-day. vill go over until the next session. Mr. Eviuiat, (dem.) of 3, C.—I assure gentlea the President shall suy he has no further bi communicate, the treaties.will be allowed to sleep until next session Mr Bancen—Unless the Senate shall adjoura over, I shali not be here to-morrow, for one, On taking the question to adjourn over to Saturday, no quorem ynted—yeas 20, nays 7. Mr. Peo moved toadjourn till Monday. Yeas 17, ae 8. ; lr. Hoveton—According to the rules, Senators cannot vote on both sides. The CHamman—It is not carried. There is no quorum. Mr. Tovcry, (dem.) of Conn , appealed to Senators not to absent themselves. It is obvious thoy will have to re- main here till the middle of next week. Other motions were made to udjourn over, but no quorum voted. Mr. Bricut moved that the Sergeant-at Arms of the Senate go in pursuit of absentees. Mr. Perrit—1 dalled for a division of the question. The Coamman—There is no quorum. Mr. Perir—There are some in the lobby. ‘The Cuaiman directed the Sergeant at Arms to pro- duce the absentees. Mr. BurtxR—You cannot find them if you look till mid- night. ‘itr. Sewarp appealed to Senators to withdraw their opposition to adjourning over till Monday. Mr. Borian—So far as the termination of the session is concerned, it depends upon the President. Therefore, adjourning over makes no difference. I think it the duty of gentlemen to attend here, instoad of going to the de partments, and coming here at four o’cloek, when I want my dinner. (Laughter. her. Weiter, (dem,) of Cal.—I have not been to the de. partments. A gentleman from California was married to-day, and I had to wait upon him. (Laughter.) It was a‘privete business of honor, and had to be attended to. Whenever ihe Senator is so fortunate as to get into such a condition with a lad)—I mean marriage—as my friend, T know he would be generous enough to accept of an excuse such as [ bave tendered. Mr. Burixr—I think the Senator is in a fairer prospect of getting into that condition than I am, and 1 thorefore approve of his conduct. (Laughter.) ir. Wei1er—I propose a compromise, journ until Saturday. Mr Brrarm—I objcet to all compromises, Mr. Hunter moved the Senate adjourn. to continue this contest Mr. Pximrt again moved to adjourn till Monday. Mr. Houstox—Instead of the number of Senators in- creasing, it is decreasing Several more will shortly go away—one to my knowledge. (Laughter.) Why dues the Senator move to adjourn over?

THE ASSEMBLY REPRBSKNTATIVES T ° Quxmec, March 24, 1853, The bill to increave ibe represention from 84 to 128 membsrs, has passed the House of Acsambly, by a vate uf 61 Wo 16, beng duve voted over the requisite two-thirds mejority, the good, the great. If fifty per cent. capacity can be added to the power of the canal by their process, it would seem a waste of money to throw away the hundreds of thousaz ds of dollars thoy design. Their report seems to give its the honest conviction of their hearts that the canals should not be enlarged. Indeed, they give every possible argument to establish this, while, with extraor- dinary consistency, they claim that the question of the enlargement is no longer cither debated or debateable, Mr. V. then proceeded in an analysis of the tables ap- Fended to the report of the minority, which, a'though evidently formed with great labor, were based upone theory entirely fallacious, The author of that roport does not seem to have oxamined the Fepgrs of tho State En- cer on this subject. The Senator wonld find imeelf contradicted by the men who work the canal; inceed. the boy who rides the horse could correet the abrurdities of this report. Mr. V. poiated to the fact that the plan of the Governor seems utterly deserted by the minority report, and as the plan of the majority was bis, the executive seemed left in the middle without plan Mr. V. a'luded to a paper in this, city, as the cular organ of the minority. The majority had ut- nr erly repudiated and scorned the iden of a resuscitation of the obliterated contracts of 1851, aided as the: by the decision of the Court of Appeals. If the Senator from the Tenth has such fear of these contracts, why does be not come forward with such an amendment of the constiuticn as would utterly prevent their ever aguin appearing He could but regard the arguments advanced by the minority as mdicating—whatever might be their profession—real hostility to the enlargemont ‘The kisa of tyrants was to be dreaded. Mr. V. thea wont into an aigoment to show that the policy recommended by the minority, of taxing the freight on railways, would, in reality, be a direct tax on the people—on our own citi zens, on men who eavnot get on the canals, who rely upon the railways alone as their means of transportation. This pohey is unjust and unstatesmanlike, ‘The con- stituency, north and south, are to be regarded, and tho imposition of tolls upon railways is but a taxation veiled under a speciousname. Mr. V. said he would detina his position, He was opposed to taxation, direct or indirect, for the purgose of completing the canals. Those canals could complete themselves. ‘The taxation was unneces- sary. Even for a single year it would not pe submitted to. The intention of the men hostile te the enlargement of the canal, is te have their oy principle of taxation es. tablished, to get us to yield the first point, to claim the tex, at first, as but for one year, and then, next year, with consummate impudence. to claim that the prece: dent is establishéd. ‘The enemies of the canal seck to force the adoption o° the principle of taxation. He hated this mean mode of extorting money; this pretence of crushing railroads, while it is but taxing the people—s course not culy’ mean, but despicablo, and far different from the manly openness in which a member of the other House boldly avows his design and desiro to im Pore a tax. The farmer will soon find that the tolls on Tailroads are not to be wrung from the ‘ monopoly,’. but from tho hard earnings of the man who seeks to send his freight by the purest and quickest route of travel. Hoe will not consent to see such a system as will tend to build up Herkimer at the expense of Chenango or Franklin. Such a system will soon be blown to fragments. The fariaer at the sonth may call it unjust; he at the north, mony designate it as cruel; but the minorlty cry out—tax- ation. Clothe the monster in nny fold of ‘disguise, he is burthensome and oppressive yet. Mr. V. eulogized Mr. Cooley's speech as auother exposition of the democratic policy in respect to the canals. He yet bolonged to that party, though the Senator from the Tenth, ani his cond, juneta, were about to read him out. Able and learned was the speech of the Senator from the Firat on thia point. and deserving the carcful perusal of all. The dom- ccratic pa ‘ty has always been honest in its advocacy of the canals. Mr. Waicr (whig)—Obh, that destroys the effect of your speech. Mr. VaNpersitt—The democratic party have always striven to do right in respect to the canals. Mr Prencr (dem.)—Don't break faith so soon with your new friends. - Mr. Vanpxrerit—What do you mean by this assertion? I break faith with no wan. Mr. Pumckx—I wi'l answer that and other assertions when I get'my turn, D : oe Wha ba oy me vetehal my ba and.am not to driven from any demagogue. taxa- tiom for the completion of the canals. iP tn makes me a whig. ia thts aspect T will ale one, Mr Piaxce repeated that, on this question, he and Mr. Vanderbilt were truly antagonistte. Mr. Vanpermit—I believe the tevenues of the canals will complete the canals. If applied from year fo sear, the canals will not.be completed. and unless the re- venues of the canals are anticipated, it will be necessary to resort to direct taxation to accomplish the work. The principle of the minority iv nothing but taxation in its meanest and most-unjast shape. Mr, V. said the posi- tion of the minority could not stsnd onc moment before the will of the ple—the Senator from the Tenth knows that he and his confederates, under the blac’ ban- ner of taxation, will be driven out. That Senator is afraid of the people. ‘These tax gatherers will be driven from this State. These modern Cresars will be sent off, if the people can exproas an opinion. All that the majority with, is to ask the people what they will do with the pub- lic works? The Senator from the Teuth will, with his co- adjutory, eeck to prevent us from asking this quostion— eveh is the yre-ordained conclusion. Pass this constitu- tional amendment, and the public works will be finished. ‘The products of the mighty West will flow ia torrents to the seaboard. Mr. MeMurnay (ilem.) took the floor, and on his motion the committees reported progress. The resolutions were wade the special order for Satur doy morning, alter the reading of the journal.

The reasons assigned were, that Gardner was entirely without means, had los everything, and owed deal in Mexico, and especfally wanted to make an adjustment with his credi tors; that it was necessary fer him to go to Mexico, among other things, to get more proof, if more was want ing, and had not the mcney to do so; that if the claim could be declsred valid, so far as to make itappear reason- sable to money lenders, he could borrow what he wanted. The Poard thought there was, nevertholoss, in this very #tatersent of the case something to excite suspicion—the magnitude.of the claim, that Iner had been engaged in other business, and took up an abandoned mino with- out means, bis great expenditures in getting under way, etc , excited suspicion. Gardner was carefully interrogted about it, Papers were examined again and again—coun- sel coasulted—and more time was devoted to the investiza- tion of this than any other case. Every means their ingenuity could suggest. was used to deteat errors or inconsi-tencies and arrive at facts, The Com mirsionert were all of opinion the case was ver; strongly proved indéed. The rules of the ‘Board weie all conformed to, which showed tho regularity and ability of his counsel, Messrs. Corwin, Thompson, and others. Counsel presonted several arguments, one in the handwriting of Mr. Corwin, in which he fignros it all ont; another by Mr, Thompson, in writing, atd others oral! ‘This award, when aimopnced, proved very unsatisfactory to the counsel for Gardner. Up to the very latest hoar of tho scesion the Board were repeatedly pressed toreopen the caso, and hear arguments as tothe aniount, The Board tried to get bettorevidence trom Mexico regarding this and other claims, but they coula not. They consulted the. Mexican Minister, Rosa, without learning any thing of consequeaco. They considered tos timony ex parte, and suggested to Presidcut Taylor the appointwent of some agent to go to Mexico, sammona witnesses, and test the validity of the various claima. President Taylor recominended it to Congress, and the only hotice taken of it was an uttack by a nowapaper here on Gereral Taylor, charging him with seeking to get a place for some friend. Capt. Barry was recalled and cross-examined. Capt. Win. W Honter, af the United States Navy, was sworn, and testified that he visited Lagunillas, iu Decem- ber last. by direction of the Senate committce. He re- searched for Gardner's mine and found none. Before concluding his examiuation, the court adjourned. ‘Whig Nomination for State Officers of Rhode Island—Fireman’s Riot.

PHILADELPHIA, March 24, 1853. Wilttam B. Mann summed up the evidence against the risoner thix morning, and was followed by Joseph M van, Rete, Fd the prisoner, who, in opening, stated he had, in most solemn mauner, appealed to his oe seer Lm appa fn we ns Waatg ipnocence, and. instrac Spring, he re- ated the asseverawens. He pcauioed fos evidence to e that the son’s testimony was not corroborated. evidence was stronger against the son than the father, as be alone had money. ‘The knife was his, and part of the sheath was in hia possession when ar- rested. He invoked the fury, t2 give hls ollent the benefit of all doubts but if they believed he waa tho monster capable of killing his own countrywomen, to convict him. At the close of this speech the Court took a recess. ‘he Court reas-embled at three o'clock, when Attorney- General Reid clo-ed his argument in an eloquent and brilliant speech, giving a vivid picture of the butchery, and of the two infants left to perish in the burning house by the astarsin. The prisoner was dreadfully »gitated, crouching down in the dock, and with both hands covering his face. Afterwards, of application of his counsel, the jury ex- amined the legs of the prisoner, to see if they bore marks of a dog’s bite upon them, in order to confirm the son's testimeny in that respect. Scratches were found that might have been made in that way. ‘The charge to the jury was then delivered by Judge Allison. ‘The jury retired at five o'clock, and the Court ad- ‘nase till eight o'clock. The Court met at eight, when the jury came in, and anrounced their verdict unanimousty—'‘Murder in the first degree ”’ The prisoner manifested yceat indifference, and even took ¢ff his ha and chcered when the officers were taking him from the Court. The crowd replied by terrige groans as the callous wretch was driven back to prison, The India Rubber Case. GOOVYEAR VS. DAY—MARCU TERM OY STATES CIKCUIT COUKT. ‘Texxtox, March 24, 1853. It seema that, in October last, the Distriet Judge or dered the defendant Day in contempt, and issued an at- tachment against him, returrable at this term of the court. Mr. Day was not served with the attachment, and on the first day of the term voluntarily appeared in court with his counsel, and moved to discharge the attachment on the ground that it was irregularly issued by tho court ‘The position taken by Mr Day was that thece was no or- der or decree of the court requiring him to appear at the time, and that his non-appearance was not of a nature that it could be treated as a contempt of the order or process of the court. Mr. Day also 6led his affidavit, and the affidavit of George Gifford, Esq , one of his counsel in this caso, for the purpose of showing that his non ap: pearance was the result of misapprehension. The motion was argued by N, Richardson, of Boston, and Gov. Vroom, on the part of Mr Day, and by James T. Brady, of New York, on tho part of Mr Goodyear. His Honor, Judge Grier, delivered the opiniva of the Court, decicing thut the process was regular. ‘The counsel moved to huve the case referred to a mas- ter, to take the evidence, and ‘eport whether Day was in contempt, and to report the evidence; and also to report whether be hod violated the injunction of the court; and it was referred to the master for that purpose Mr. Day recognized to appear before the master and the court. ‘The master’s report is to be returned on the Grst Mon- day of May next, when Judge Grier is to te present, and the whole matter will be heard and disposed of, Counsol for Goodyear, J.

APPOINTMENTS AND CONFIRHATIONS. Seeretary Marey and the New Yorkers, &e., ke, &e. TELEGRAPHIC, SPRCLAL CORRESPONDENCE OF ‘THE NEW YORK HERALD, HON. JOUN SLIDELL GOING TO CENTRAL AMBRICA —SENATOR SOULE PROBABLY CUT OFF FROM SPAIN—THE NEW YORK APPOINTMENTS AGREED UPON. ORBTARY MARCY HAS TUS HANDS FULL— THE CALIFORNIA: .. EIGN MISSION: Wasittvaron, March 24—9 P.M. Mr, John Slidell, of New Orleans, was nominated to- day as Minister to Contral America. This nomination rules off Mr. Soulé for Spain, as Louisiana will scarcely gettwo full missions, Bat then there is, apart from this, even-handed justice in the appointment. Mr. Sli- dell is a Unionist, and Mr. Campbell, the new Judge of the Supreme Court for the Louisiana and Alabama dis- trict, is a fire-eater—a streak of fat and a streak of lean. Mr. Humphries, it is announced, is to be the United States District Judge for Tennessce. ‘The other nomina- tions made to-day were unimportant. Another hunker is to be decapitated. C. A. Mott, an adamantino hunkor—a clerk in tho Comptroller's Gffice— has had notice to quit. The sessions of the cabinet ave prot late hour. So far, the resutt of all thi been very apparent in the nomin: Senate, which have been nearly exclusively for minor and unimportant offices. It is, however, eonfidently asserted by the best informed, or rather those whore position gives them opportunities of being informed, that the ap- pointments in New York, Philadelphia, and California— the principal disputed points—haye boen decided upon. In New York, the plan of distribution is to give the softs big slice, and taper off to a fine potut on the hards. Mr. O'Sullivan, in this connection, is indicated for Sub-Trea- surer. Mr. Marcy is supposed to have devoted his par- ticular attention to this branch of the executive duties, and this may account, in some degree, for his disinclina- tion to converse with any of the distinguished gentlemen who have waited upon him upon the subjoct of our foreign aflairs. Likea good American, the Governor un- donbtedly believes our own country should first be at- tended to. When the appointments are made in New York, and Schell and other hards have been left as monu- ments of his prowess, {he Secretary of State will tum his mind to the regeneration of Cemtral Ametica-and the an- Bexation of Japan, “By the nay, intheebsencs of the Assistant Secretary of State, and the immersement of Mr. Marcy in the duties ulluded to above, Mr. Hunter, the Chief Clerk seem to consider himself tHe representative of the dignity and Old-fogyinm oF the department, and admits persons by card, at lorg intervals, to his nugust presence—going so far as to copy all the cvurtcousneas for which the Go- vernor if'xo remarkuble. ‘The Philadelphia appointments spoken of indicate that Mr. Bucbapan and Governor Bigler have influence at the White House, Mr. Westcott got the Post Office, and Mr. Brown the Custom House. The California nominations give the Assistant Trea- surership to Hon. George W. Wright, the Marshalship to Genera) Richardson, and the Post Office to Major Selover. These, with the appointments alrcady made, would seem te be @ compromise between the friends of Senators Gwin and Weller. The foreign missions, except where there are vacan- cies—and I believe there are none now—will not be acted upon before the Senate adjourns, which event, it is sup- pored, will occur some time next week. Old Bullion is on hand here—not so much to take care of his friends as to punish his enemies, He has already been felt in one or two cases. The rush of office seekers to the President's levee to. night ix appalling. hey seem to think if taey can only see the President they are safe. ‘the roving commis:ioa susgosted in the Senate this morning, to inquire into the charges against Goveraor Ramsey, will not be granted. The experience of the tra- vellir g committee cf the Senate to investigite the frands on the revenue, Kist summer, was quite sufficient for the Present. Meantime, the Presidvat and the able Secre- tary of the Interior, Mr. McClelland, will sée that fall justice is done both to Governor Ramsey and the Ladians.

MANN TO ‘TZ STATE DEPARTMENT. {From the Washington Union, March 24. In the official list of executive appointments which we announce above, there are two names deserving of some- thing more than » passing notice. ‘The vacancy on the bench of the sat 5 Court, cre- ated by the death of Judge McKinley, has been filled by- the appuintment. of Mr. John A. Campbell, of Alabama. The administration could not have made a more forta- nate selection. Neither in respect to the personal fitness. nor residence of Mr Campbell is his appointment ob- noxious to any objection. Hoe is a lawyer and civilian. of emipent position, and of attainments fully eom- Irensutate with his lege reputation not ¢on- fined to ihe limits of hia own State, but recognised. and established in tho forum over which he has ‘been called to preside. In an important cause be fore the Supreme Court, known to the country as. the Gaines case, Mr. Campbell won universal ap plause for his extraordinary display of learning, logat acumen, and all the higher and more ambitious quali of the profession. His arguments in the case were maa- terpies of legal logic—not diffuse, shaliew, or rhetori but deep, solid, and compact. ‘They extorted the hie praise fom the bar and the banch of justices. But it is pot merely in all the accomplishments of the profound jurist thet Mr. Campbell ix fitted for a seat on the su- veme bench ; for another and higher and nore i ‘unetion—for the construction of the constitution—Mr. Campbell possesses every qualification He understands thoroughly the nature of our system of government, and is imbued with the true spirit of the federal constitution. die learnt bis Jessons of constitutional law in the State- rights school of Jefierson and Madison, nor will he so far et the authority of his masters as to lend the sane- tion of his name to the support of the consolidati deg mas of federalism Asa s atesman and a jurist, hie vation to the supreme bench is justly an occasien of con- gratulation to the country. In the appointment of “Mr. Dudley Mann tothe post o Assistant Secretary of State, a new and most res) ible office, the administration have beeen cquatly judiciousin their choice. A long residence in Europe, mach expe- rience in diplomatic service, a familiarity with the eti- quette and the languages of the courts, and a thorough comprehension ef the philocophy of continental Dolition sre the advantages aud attainments which determi the appointment of Mr. Mann. Mr. Mann first entered the service of the government as consul to Bremer. He war subsequently commissioned consul to the Austrian port of Trieste, but he decliged the appointment. Presider t Polk he was sent on a special and confident agency io the court of Hanover, and whilat there succed- ed in kegotfating treaties with the kingdom of Hanover, and with the Grand Duchies of Oldenburg and Mecklen- burg Schwerin, which secured to American com: y to the southern staples of cotton and to it and most valuable privileges. The first eue- cesses of Hungarian revolution induced our govern- ment fodespatch am agent to the scene of action, with instructions to give all possible legitimate en- couragement and support to the struggling patriots. Without his knowledge, Mr. Mann was selected for this delicate and hazardous mission; but the reverses and ultimate subjngation of the brave Magyars put it be- yond his pawer to accomplish his purpose. He was not too late, however, to incur mruch personal peril, nor too ioaetive to provoke the wrath of Austrian despotism. ‘The famous Haynau had ed orders for his arrest; and. had he crossed the confines of Hungary he wo un- doubtedly have put to death. In Vienna he was waiched and thwarted, and constantly threatened by the government police. In 1850 Mr. Mann was sent, in a con- fidential capacity, to Switvorland, which had just them accomplished the renovation of its constitution, and for that reason, as well as because of ite freo institutions, the especial mark of Austrian hatred. In what manner —with what feelings of joy and gratitude, Mr. Mann, the representative of the great republic of America, was re ceived by the unvanquished republic of Europe, is at- tested by his success in negotiating a favorable treaty of ecmmerce and amity between the Swiss confederation and the government of the United States, Having ae- complished his mission to Switzerland, Mr, Mann returned to Paris, where he is sojourning at this moment. His appointment ix as honorable to him as it will prove ser- iceable to the country. Our Boston Correspondence. Boston, March 21, 1853. _ The Appointment of Gen. Peaslee as Collector. The politicians and citizens here have been thorougiely discussing the appointments mado for this place, for seve- ral days past; and +0 faras Thavo beon able to rather public sentiment on the subject, they have been regeived with almost universal favor. The only persons who.ques- tioned the expediency of any of them, are a few of those who had divided up the places here pretty much to suit themselves, and who consequently thought the. appoint- mant of a New Hampshire man to the Collectorship rather a bold innovation on precedents. The truth of the matter is, there was some considerable contention about. the places here, and things had got into such a compli- cated snarl that the President found he couldn't obliga everybody, and co he was compelled to tale the responst- bility of turning a deef ear to all cliques, and appointing , a man of his own, with an eye single to the interoste of the public servies. If ndependenee is carried ant in all the departments of his minzstration, it wilt, fruitful of incaleulel) i to the country. This appointment considered w bold experiment perhaps—a» some of the whig papers claim— if the Custom Houve, like the Poss Ofice, decived, its re- venue solely from (lie vockets of the good people of Bog- ton. But as such is not the cae, as all New Ragland is supplied with foreign pods, mavtly from thia port, and consequently pays duties indirectly at (is Custom House, noihing was more jst avd proper than that Collector should be taken, wr once at leit, from ‘ae heart of New England-sand especially faom the + faithful, and unwavering democratic state.of New Hr gap shire.
