JUVHIiJtL'l> ADDHBIi!
We have had lying upon our table lor the
last two mouth *,an Addrem to I he President,
over the mwn de gutrre of Juvenal, with
the intention of examining its arguments
and suggestions, but the pressure of other
! topica of daily moment, has prevented the
execution of our design uutU now.
It ia, however, a paper that will not suf
fer or deteriorate by keeping, and perhaps,
its notice, having been necessarily deferred
until the present time, will be more apt to
attract attention to so interesting a document,
than i( it had been obtruded upon the public
mind at an earlier d-y. We do not intend
to tax the readers' time by disposing of all
the subjects, discussed by the writer, at one
sitting, but we shall say what we have to
say about them, at different and convenient
times, and at such length as may suit our
purposes.
It may be observed here, that the address
iwas originally published in the Jiallimore
| CKpptr.
Great anxiety has been manifested, in
various quarters to know who the author is.
We propose to keep the public in suspense
jpon this question a little while longer, and
intil we shall have gone through our propos
ed task of examining his positions. When
hat ii done, we hope to have the pleasure
if announcing the real name of Juvenal
The address opens with a manly avowal,,
hat it is written by one, who is not in quest
<f public employment, and on behalf of the
American people. This is the spirit that
uervades the whole paper. There is a"fresh
hess of independence and a puiity of mptive,
ii the manner of expressing hit sentiments,
hat give peculiar zest to his style. But of
' is style, more anon, and when w-? shall
ave disposed of his ideas.
The programme of the new Administra
tion first engages Juvenal's attention, lie
riticises, with just severity, and holds up to
jeserved ridicule, the turgid style of our
State papers for the last twenty years, and
jiredirts, with 'sonde boldness, that General
jt'AYi.OR would not fall into the same vice
t his Inaugural. Juvenal's sagacity was I
tore than verified by the result, for a more
laste and modest State paper never err.a
iated from the pen of any of our Presidents.
Ve trust it will be the model for all future 1
jtaugurala.
In reference to the fitness or unfitness of
ten for public stations in this country, Ju
enal has some excellent remarks, drawn
om a sound philosophical view of the sub
let. He sums up his judgment, in the
Allowing words: " Nothing but native
' sense, powerful will and vigorous intellect,
can long protect a public man in this
country." The truth of this judgment is
imfirmed by our whole history, and it is the
nasession of these three qualities, in the
iost exalted degree, that wilt enable Gen
al Taylor to give to his Administration
S impetus that will overturn all the obsta
a which his opponents are eudeavoring to
1 in his way.
The beginning, rise and culmination of
ie people's love for General Taylor, are
lmirably pictured by Juvenal. The cau
dacy and election of the old Hiro, form
new epoch in our " dynastic history." It
one in which the people have demonstra
d, as Juvenal well and truly says, that
eatures are nothing without men. It is
(te in which the mass of the electoral body
is proved, that when a proper man is
lered for their consideration, they do not
ait to be prompted to vote for him. It is
ie, in which the power of the few to con
ol the many, when the mind of the many is
ice aroused.by a common ubject, is utter
' vain. It is one, in which, truth in the
iward parts, and a wide-spread and irresis
jble conviction of its existence, have tri
mphed, in the person of Zachary Taylor
ver every difficulty that art and cunning
5uld and did place in their way. Up
\ these points our author has acquitted
imself in a manner that does him great
[edit.
We shall reiume our examination, per
?ps, in Monday's paper.
Mr. Greeley, the Editor of the New
'ork Tribune, was in town yesterday, and
It last even'ng for Ohio.

<fr>We had the pleasure o( meeting yes

ne of the Editor's of the New Orleans
He informs us, that Mr. Ken

(&? Mr. Ewbank, the new Commission
r of Patents has arrived in town, from New
Tork, and has taken lodgings at Willard's
lotel. He will enter upon the discharge
f his official duties in a few days. We
nblish to-day some interesting notices of
lis appointment from opposite sources, bear
ig general testimony to its excellence and
sefulness.

it all events, it was accompanied by the
ppointment of bis son as Charge des

QQr The Union considers Mr. Burke's
tval one of the rankest cases of political
ription, that disgraces the Administra
ion. Tried by the same rule, we doubt
*t, our neighbor regards the refusal ol the
>eople to meke Gen. Cars President, even

know very little about bl. .uoo^.'. bul
little in predicting that he cuuk*
place as superintendent of ike Patent
of yctictday.
If w>: judge aright of Mr. Burke, wo
venture to express our belief, Hint this in
vidious comparison of the Union between
him and Mr. Kwbank, must be very offen
sive to the late Commissioner. It is cer
tainly in very had taste, to say the least of
it. Nor do we believe that Mr. Burke
considers that lie has been proscribed for
political opinion's sake, or that he has been
aggrieved or injured in any way by his
removal. It is enough lor him, we doubt
not, as well as for every other sensible man
to know that the President did not see pro
per to accord to him the confideueo of the
Government. The very spirit of our insti
tutions requires, at the hands of every dis
placed officer, a cheerful acquiescence in the
will of the appointing power, whether that
power be elective or executive. As to Mr.
Ewbank's not filling Mr. Burke's place,
that is a question of too much delicacy to
discuss in advance. We slial point our
neighbor, with every confidence, to the re
sult of Mr. F.wbank's administration and
execution of the duties of the Patent Office.
The Uuion says, that the office-seekers
have no care for Gen. Taylor's character.
Which class of them do you mean ? Do you
refer to those who are not out and are trying
to keep in, or those who are out and are
trying to get in ? If you mean, those who
are in, we agree with you fully, that they
have very little tare as a class for the old
Hero's character, for they would have him
violate all his pledges, for their selfish ends
To keep themselves in office " they would
drag the very sun from its plaf-e and pitch
the moon into the ocean." But gentle
men, your efforts are all in vain. You can
never induce Gen. Tayi.or to yield to your
importunities, abuse him, coax him, flatter
liim, denounce him as you may. He will

Ten of the following list are, we believe, the vic

Menu not at all abated. He con'inues to make war

[ Union of yeitrrday.
It is amusing to witness the horror, which
the democratic press have of Mr. Kwino.
They call him all sorts of hard names, but
111 to no purpose. He will not compound
with official delinquency in friend or foe, and
lie is a perfect terror to all guilty of official
jhort comings. A more decided and a more
judicious man could not have been entrusted
with the Herculean labor of bis Department,
than Mr. Ewtwo ^ <
nut lot this ease nullify our credulous friends that

liullow and false. Mr. Burke is removed from an

In Washington.? Unionqf yuterday.
For t!.e last two months, the Union itsell
has been circulating these very reports ol
the President's forbearance,has been giving
Dut these very calculations of his purpose to
let them remain as he found them, and now
it comes forward and tells its readers that
they were all hollow, and fulse, and erro
neous ! After this, who can put faith in
what the Union says ? Its crcdulous friends,
we are sure, will nut.

Collector, any the less accomplished t May
there not be degrees in accomplishments, as
in any other acquirement? We hope the
Union does not mean to accuse General
Taylor of breaking his pledges, because
Mr. Lewis may be more accomplished than
Mr. Pace. ;
1*1 no man tell mTV the related
of Ueneral Taylor, and of his determination to carry
out hi" previous pledge,, and to keep his word, and
to make no removal, at ofytsUrday. \
General Tayi.or never said, that he
would make no removals at Washington,

that he did say so ; but the proof is ample,
that he said the very contrary to what you
have here made the old Hero say.

A mistake, sir. It is the removal of men
from office, in whom the Administration has
not confidence, for the possession of the high
qualifications required in the Inaugural for
mula We cannot see in this,for the life of
?s, any violation ofpledges and prolessions.
We are very glad to perceive, that
some of the Democratic press are satisfied
with the course, of the Administration's ap
pointment policy. The C latksville ( linn.)
Jeffersonian, a strong Democratic paper,
says, that "the work goes bravely on!"

The C>|it?n ot a Slaver, called the Harriet,
of Philadelphia.
We received tlie following account of the capture
of a slave brig, by a recent arrival from St. Helena.
We give it for public benefit, and await further intel
ligeuce:
On the II ib of February, 1848, Her Britunlc Ma
jesty's eloop Cygnet brought to St. Helena a brig
alio iuul captured, sixteen <laya previously, on I hi
west roust of Africa, with a largo cargo of slaves
amounting to between eight and ulne hundred. The
briu proves to bo the Harriot, lately belonging to
Philadelphia. At tho timo of capture, aho Tiart on
board eight American seamen?vit: John Ander
son, mate; John Davis, Edward Day, John Wil
liams, Samuel R. Daves, William O'Donnell, Johu ,
Hall, and Thomas Burners, seamen i ail belonging to !
Boston and Philadelphia. These men give un ac
eouut, staling that they were the original crew ol j
the brig, under the command of T. Duiing, having
left Boston in Juno laat i that Uiey had been to one
of tho Capo de Verdo Islands, and thenec to Bahiu,
in tho Brazils. with a cargo of aait; there she took
on board a full alave cargo, which alio earned to the
woat coast of Africa, and, after landing the chief part
of it, Captain Duiing sold the vessel to a Brazilian,
who weal out from Ballia as supercargo in her, und
who then assumed the command of tho vesw I. At
this tiiue, Capl. Duiing told tho crow that they might
go on shore, and that [to would twy them oil. Thin
happened at Auibriz. at which place there were two
American brigs, on board of which tho crow endea
vored to get a passage, but without succeaa. The
crew, dreading a sic-fly climate, and boing thrown
on short among a parcel of negroes, where thoro was
neither government nor protection, and being uncer
tain if tliey did go on ahore there and aurvive, (and
the uncertainty of a proper opportunity ottering to
take them away.) chose tlie only ulternullve, of avail
ing themselves of tho otfur of tlie Brazilian supercar
go, of remaining on bourd the Harriet as passengers,
to work their nasssge back to the Brazils, to where
tho vessel was bound. A very short lime after, it ap
pears, a full cargo of slaves was sent on board, with
water, arms, and ivery other neceaaary for a slave
vessel, and then lnstuntlyldespalclied, with tlie addi
tion of seven men to form the crow. After being
three days as sea, she was captured as before men
tioned ; but on the boats of the Cygnet boarding her,
she had tho American Hag displayed, and, in con
aeijucnce of firing upon the boats, John Hall?being
then at the wheel? was ahol through the shoulder,
and another of thn crew received a severe entlasa
wound on the skull.
The Americon seamen say that no tlmo during the
voyage did they receive the least Intimation that the
Harriet was to have been sold in Africa, or be en
caged in the slave trade: because, had they known
it, ihey would have quilted the vessel at some other
port.
We have other statements connected with the above
capture, but choose to await later intelligence before
publishing them.?.V. V. Herald.
Rxemplary Appointment.
We announced yenletday morning the appoint
ment of Wm. J. P. White, Esq., as postmaster at
Philadelphia, and it is hardly possible that another
person roukl have been selected st once so compe
tent for the duties, and so deserving of the emolu
ments of the office. Rut the appointment is not
only appropriate with regard to the incumbent; in
ehlef importance refers to the interests and conve
nience of the people of Philadelphia. The post
oflice bears a peculiarly close relation to the conmiii
ni y, and in onr large cities it is especially desirable
that the postmaster should be a man of active and
Industrious habits, good discernment and experience.
True, these are qualities that should characterise
every public officer, but they are Indispensable in
populous places, where any degree of incapacity
must Involve and prejudice the interests of thou
sands every day. The reformatory policy aXected.and,
we think, manifested In the design of the now admin
isiration In the matter of appointment to office, could
be applied in none where lis genuineness and effi
cleney would be so readily perceived by the people ns
in tile selection of postmasters. While, on the other
hand, tliero is none in which a had appointment
would tnoro s|ieedliy anil mediately prejudice the
policy of the government.
Without disrespect to individuals, it is notorious
that post-office appointments have been conferred
In by-gone days, upon persons utterlv disqualified
for the judicious and effective performance of the
duties pertaining to them, or so engrossed in other
pursuits as to devolve the active responsibility upon
subordinates. Whenever this has been tho case, the
interests of the public have been seriously comprc- 1
mlscd, and a just disaffection on the part of tlie peo
ple haB been the reproach of the government. Ex
perience ia moreover an essential quality in the di
rection of post office airairs; and whenever, ns in
the case before us, olher qualities combine to approve
a man of practical experience, he possesses in the
latter un added recommendation, intimately allied
with the public Interests.?Halt. Sun. (Dem)

visit all the tribes, make treaties with them, gather

The position is an important one, and tnose well ac
quainted with Gen. Wilson, represent him as exactly
suited to discharge these important duties. The St.
Louis Republican says that Gen. Wilson has bIbo
been appointed Navy Agent at San Francisco. Tills
is probably Incorrect, Inasmuch as the act creating
the Collection District In California only provides
for the appointment of a Collector and inree depu

Quist Politicians.?1The qnlet politicians seem
lo carry the day In Washington, lr we judpe from
the appointments which have been lately made.
Whilst the old, bustling, noisy political campaigners
have been engaged In violent eontesta with each oth
er for the offices, and have enlisted "troops of friends"
to second their pretensions, unobtrusive and almost
unnoticed candidates have borne nil' the prizes. Wn
like ihis mode of proceeding, for it shews, that the
President and his Cabinet cannot be influenced by
names or numbers lo disregard real merit. Wo wish
that they would proeeedjone step farther, and peremp
torily refuse to appoint any candidate who harrasses
them by personal applications. Wo think thol the
cxamplea which have been aet In the appointments
In Philadelphia and Now York, will have the effect
lo discourage the system of importunate begging
which haa I een puraued by some of the candidates.
The duties Imposed on the members of the admin
istration, are aufficiently onerous, without having sii
peraded, the personal teaaingofa horde of applicants
for publlo offices; and Is il not, therefore, surprising,
that those who stand aloof should find more favor
with the appointing power, than those who press
forward daily with their claims.?Ball. Clipptr.

THE RIOT IN NEW YORK.
Nsw Vouk, May 10, 2 P. M
Another Great fliot in New Vork-Mrcready again
driven of? The Military attacked?Several Per
sons killed?City in great Consternation.
The excitement throughout the city yesterday in
regard to the difficulty between Messrs. Macready
ind For.rest, was of such a character as to indicate
s repetition of the disgraceful proceeding* of Moti
lity night. At as early as half past 0 o'clock In the
nvenlng, persons began to assemble around the As
lor Opera Houw, where It was announced that Ma
i-ready was to oppear In the character of Macbeth.
At 7 o clock arowd* were wunding their way to
the theatre from all partsof thejeity, and at half past,
several thousands were in the streeis fronting the
theatre, and a tremendous rush to gain admittance
was made. Tickets sufficient te fill ihe house were
sold ill a few minutes, and soon the building was
[tacked from pit to dome, comprising all classes of
Jiir population.
At 8 o'clock the curtain rose, and the appearance
jf tho first performer op tho stage was greeted with
in outburst of hisses, groans aud cheers, similar to
those Which interrupted the performance on Monday
night.
The first persons arrested were four young men
who were loeked up in a room under the lower tier
of boxes. In this apartment there were gas lights
burning, and the prisoners scraping up some shav
ings, pieces of wood, &c., set lire to them. When
the police man opened the door, the placc was ful|
of sinoke, but the officers speedily cxtlnguised the
lire. Showers of stones now assailed the windows
of tho theatro, and news c?mo from the street that
Edward Z. C. Jiulson, alias Ned Buntlino, was head
ing the mob outside.
The Chief of the Police immediately ordered his
arrest. Volley after volley of paving stones con
tinued to be discharged against the windows, and
finally the glass was ull smashed to atom*. Great
alarm at this juncture prevuled among tho audience,
aud the ladles, seven In number, who had until this
momont preserved their oquanimlty, now became
alarmed and shifted their soots to parts of the house
not in rango with any of the windows. A troop of
horso thon turned from Broadway into Astor Place,
and rode through the crowd to tho Bowery, receiv
ing showers of stones aud missiles on their way.
Throe horses bocamo unmanageable, and the troops
lelt tho ground u few moments afterwards.
The National Guards then made their appearance
on the ground, and attempted to force a passage
through tho crowd to the theatre. The mob hissed
and hooted, ond finally attacked them with stones.
The company was thrown into disorder, and retired
Into Broadway, where they rallied, utado anothet at
tempt to reach tho theatre, when they were hissed
and peltod with stones as before. They, however,
succeeded in reaching tho desired point, and then
endeavored to form a lino on tho sidewalk. While
doing so five or six of them were felled to the ground
by paving stones, and taken into the theatre in a
state of insensibility. Captain Pond was one of
those injured ; and the next officer In command said
to the Sheriff who was on the ground, that if he did
not get orders to fire, himself and his inen would
abandon the street.
Accordingly that officer directed the company to
fire a round over tho lieuds of tho people. Tills,
however, was without effect, the people continuing
to pelt them with paving stoneaas before.
An order wan then given to fire at the crowd,
which was done, two men falling, one shot through
the arm, the other through the right cheek; another
was found dead after the volley.
The mob then retreated a short distance, but ral
lied and renewed tho attack with greater vigor than
before. Another volley was fired by the military,
?nd wounded several men. After this the crowd re
treated, and the military and police look advantage
to form a line across the street, at both ends of As
tor Place, to prevent a communication between
Broadway and the Bowery.
Major General Stanford then Issued orders for
more troops and two brass plcces loaded with grape
placed In front of the theatic; as it was rumored that
the crowd intended to ann themselves and tenew
Ihe attack. Additional froopa soon after reached the
scene of disorder, and cannon loaded with grape were
placed in rttidiness in ease of a renewal of Ihe at
tack.
Various are the reports of the number of killed and
wounded, but not Ics than 25 to 60 can be the actual
number. The greatest excitement prevails through
out the city. The hospital and station houses are
filled with the friends of the wounded and dead. Kv
erything la now quiet, but it is apprehended only to
make a more furious attack.
It Is reported in thestreets that Macready has been
killed, but this wants confirmation.

lip to this hntit the most intense excitement pre
vails throughout the city-crowds continue to aug
ment, and a disposition to commit violence evident;
consequently the Mayor has issued a proclamation
ordering n Hrong military force to remain on duty
all nlghl. Happily public opinion sides with law
and order, and condemns the destructive spirit of the
mob, whose fierce acts n erit the severest rebuke
from ihe hand of justice,?and life and property will
be maintained at all haisrtl. To aecontpliah this,
loaded cannon are planted around the theatre, and
the military occupying advantageous positions.?
The killed is stated at about forty?and the wounded
at one hundred. Business is generally suspended.
