is the best man we could have. Although he
is thoroughly imbued with the Worst of radical-
-ism both in religion and politics. he is unobtru-
sive in his manners, andglagireeable in his gen-
eral demeanor. Unless. therefore. he is changed
by the flush of office. or a consideration of the
price at which he was purchased, he will not
probably give ofience to any. and may make ”
very good and efficient oliicer.
\Vhat the party have gained by the change‘
we cannot see. Mr. Burrall, althouah he fflllml
favor with a difli.-rent clique from that t0 which
his successor looked for sUl‘P°"~ has always
weighed well his obligations to those who sup-
pliedthe crib, and like a good loyal subject. has
never, we believe. forgotten that allcgianceflat
the polls. At the last election he gave his vote
to the great rejected. for governor of this state,
and in return. M r. Niles ltas dismissed him from
his service without a lisp of the tongue. ora
a dash ofthe pen. And if we take that modern
gague of detnocracy, strength oflungs‘ into the
account. then. certainly-this has been a bad bar-
gain for the magician. . I
As the old adage runs. “it’s all for the best,"
for ifthere are any left in the party who dare to
think and act for -themselves. this will have a
tendency to remove the scales front their eyes
and drive them frotn this fickle and faithless ad-
""* O rninist ration. .
_ Ul\'PLEASA;\'T AFl-‘AlR.- It appears the British
have at Fort Erie colored or black troops--that
a few days ago, as the American steamboat
Chesapeake was returning from Chippewa to
Buffalo, some men of the colored cotnpany.com-
manded by Capt. Mac-donald, stationed at Fort
Erie, fired several rounds of muskets at her.
Col. Bankbcad,.the American commandant,
according to the Buffalo Journal, immediately
communicated avith Sir GeorgeArthur. and “re-
ceived a communication from the Lieut. Col. of
the 93d I-lilauders. at the Falls,enclosing a copy
ofthe opinion ofthe Court of Inquiry ordered on
account ofthe firing upon the Cincinnati and
Chesapeake by the colored soldiers atVVatcrloo.
From the testimony submitted to ‘.heCou.-t it ap-
pears that gross provocation was offered by those
on each boat. The British officer. however.ad-
mits that the firing. notwithstanding the provo-
cation he mentions. was entirely‘ unjustifiable,
and says the most rigorous measures will_ be a-
dopted to discover and punish the oli'enders.--
At the time the outrages were committed there
was no oliicer itt Ct)mtl'!.'tfl(l at VVatt.-rloo."
\Ve have been rrquested by a subscriber. to
publish a list ofthe number of electorsto which
each state is entitled, we therefore give the fol-
lowing table which not only answers that pur-
pose. but also shows for whom each state cast
its vote at the last presidential election. It will
be found very useful for reference.
Under the table alluded to will be fountl a-

each state at the satire election.

Mona DIVORCE or BANKS AND S'rx'rr:.—
The beautiful hormony'of the doctrines ant‘:
practices of this administration, are becoming
tnore and more conspicuous every day. It is
stated that three or four different Banks in the
city of New-York. upon application from M r.
Woodbury, Secretary of the Treasury, have
come forward and agreed to loan the Govern
ment from one hundred to one h.u-nclrcd anrljifty
thousand dollars each, and take Treasury Notes
on interest as security— the Bank of America
acting as the Govern merit Brokerin negociating
the business. Can the people of this country
be hutnbugged by the shallow deceptions-—-the
arrantquackery and bypocracy of this diseas-
ed and rotten admintstration? Will they con-
tinue to tolerate these things '! we trow not.
Moat-2 VAN Butu:r~'tsM.—Wlieu the plan of
Mr Poittsiéltt was presented for a Feorgaztization
of the militia, or in other words. proposed the
plan cf a standing army of 200.000 men. Mr.
Van Buren could not too earnestly rccommcnrl the
project to the consideration of Congress. This.
our readers will recollect, if they have the last
message still in rnintl. Lately he has been ad-
dressed by lctter,tlircctly in reference to his views
on this subject, by several persons in Virginia.
His reply is worthy of a place on his forehead
in unfading characters. A prettier specimen of
Van Bttren duplicity is scarcely to be found.
He rather concludes upon the superficial co7ts2'rt-
eration he has given the subject. thatthe plan is
not just what it should be—-that it is not in strict
harmony with the spirit ofthat half exploded in-
strument. the coustitntionl Indeed his scruples
are so wellgronnded that he does not hesitate to
decide at once, that under existing circumstances.
it is better to stand neuter till he is required to
act ollicially in the tnatter. This is the grave
conclusion of Mr. Van Buren until be under-
stands his fate in the full. But here. reader is
an extract from the letter alluded to:
‘ It is but lately that my attention has beenpar-
ticularty drawn to this subject. and as. there is
no doubt that the great nten to whom I have al-’
lutled contemplatetl an organization ofthe mili-
tia. and provisions for its belief instruction, eru-
bracing snbstautially the principles contained in
Mr. Poinsett's plan, it becotnes me in the face
of so much apparent authority, to hesitate before
I pronounce drjinilely upon its constitutiortalily.
I shall. I am confident. in the opinion of all
candid minds. best perform my duty by refrain-
ing to do so, until it becomes necessary to act
:2 tcirzlly in the matter. In the mean time, I
will content myselfwith saying. that the incli-
nation rfmy mind is. that the tlcsircci measure
cannot be safely accomplished. in the formpro-
posed. under the Federal Constitution. as it
stands."
