Durpg the early part of the fedeHml gov­ernment, Cliristqpher Gore, (afterwards ap­pointed a Minister to Great BriWio, and subsetjuently a Senator in Congrfis, and Governor o f M-assachasetts) arrived a t the capitol , w h e r e be' .waited or^ the Secrelary j of the Treasurv, and wished him toj remon­strate with the* President against |the ap­pointment of * person who had been re­commended- as Collector of tbe, port| of Boa-ton. This person's character wasi .highly exceptionable, and-his appointment would have given offence to the merchants i Gen­eral Hamilton respectfully, but firmly, de­clined the request of) Mr, Gore. He told him it would be at the risk of his friendship with thie President. •< We never, fajd he, projir any advice to him;'»tbM is wanted, the comimunications are made on eithprside in writing, Mr. Gore then,applie4 to the Secretary of War,-and requestedi,him to perform the service.^ Gen.JCnox declined, for the same reasons offered by hisct)!|le:ague. Mr.Gore thdn decided towailon Getj|,Wash-inglon himself, and make known th|o object of his visit. He called at ihej President's residence accordingly , h u t wheftyert l ie lat-ted had Ibeen apprized of, or suspecljed, Mr. Gore 's ohjoct, irf not k n o w n — h e , h o w e v e r , kept hintiiQconversatidn on subjects of gen­eral interest during the whole interview^ and he retired without being- enablcdto ac-complish hii purpose. In this dilemma, he returned to General Knox, and Repeated his request w i t h so much importunity , that the latter reluctantly yielded, and promised that he would comply. At the nejft meet­ing between tha President and; the Secreta­ry ,Gen„ Knox addressed Gen- Wasfhtngton as follows: " Touching the appointment of Collector of Boston, would it notfbe well for your Excellency to suspend! the nomina­tion to the Senate till farther information can be elicited ?"„ The President answered n e v e r a word, but cast, a frown on h i s mih-ister. i His mission, however, was asuccess-ful one. Gen. Lincoln was nominated, and received! the sanction of the Senate, and held the office till h i s vo luntary retirement under tho Presidency of Mr. Jefferson.— U. S. GazdU

" A l itt le h o y , about 13, returning h o m e from a meighboring town, observed as he passed by a houao a few sprouts Of poplar 3hootinjj from a stump in a garden,jand ask­ed permission to take some of themj and car­ry home. The ovrner inquired what he wished to do withthem, and the boy inform­ed him Ithat when he was s is years old, his mother died ; and as ho had never s e e n atiy

such trees where he lived, ho thought they would look pretty to plant by his mother's grave. The owner at once gave him a rose and a lilack bush, telling him they were betteraind prettier for the purpose ; when the little fellow raised his eyes, streaming 'with tears-, and thanked.the giver, for him­self and his dear dead mother.

The General AdminUlralion. It is eight v eats since tup public judgment

of the country was emphatically pronounced, in favor of a change in the administration of tti* general government. A largo majority of the nation, dimiisfied with Ibeir poliiica pon dilioo, concurred in selecting for their Cliief Msgiitrate the eminent citizen who now opcu-pies that station; confidently! believing ti nl he possencd the rare endowm'enis so imiisjeima-bly necessary lo efiVct a favorable ch^r^e in the adverse current of our national affairs. The extent lo which this expectation 1ms bee.n teal-ized, and the various ways in which public o-pinion has expressed its approval of ins con* duel, have amply vindicated the wis'om >f ihe iclcction. It musi be concrded that be has managed our national concerns during up e-vontflul period. Questions of tho highqsi im­portance to the woll-being of the connti y pave been been violently agitated; principles i that lay at ibe foundation«of the government have been assailed: sectional loiere&tj have beeri ar­rayed on the'side of false and dangerous theories; a great moneyed monojioly.having vast memsat us command,will) an unscrupulous ditposit ion to use them in operating upon the hopes and fearj of tho«e Whose for>nocs could bo aflVrled by any sudden change la our peeuhiarr afTairu espotis* ed the; cause ofthe assailants of the admit islra-pon.ind gajve a powerful itr ptrfie'to their ^eaa-ures;of.annoyance; our affairs at hnmii and abioad satumed at times a most gloom pi ns» peel;—bat. amid difficulties the most einbar rasstpg, and obstacles the u osl formidable, he has pOtiuedhis undevialing course, and rasfi* nally accomplished all the great purposes ren­dered necessatr to re-osiablisb correct princi­ples and lo give a new nnj belter, direction lo the policy of the governmoni.

Presidential E,!cr.lionx

The recent Presidential Election has produ­ced l e u excitement jhan usually attends inch a coolest, especially when it involves, a» ip ihe present instance, a change of ihe persons to fill the offices of President and Vice Piesideb'.'— Thi^unusual degree of repose in the ptihlic mind, i£ tp be oscribed lather to the pi riulnr attitude in which the adyerse parlies we-e p la­ced, than lo any want of a proper eoliriiu;dc in the.mtss of the people, as lo the cb,arac(u|r and principles of their political a^eqis. The pijesent administration had been so decidedly approved and,firnjly sustained In the people, that those wbq engaged in the eleetiun <vith a vieiv (o se­cure to the country the continuance of hs wise and enlightened policy, reasonably anticipated a favorable result;'while those who desifuod In effect a political revolution^ foresaw inevitable defeat, should the contest be so conducted as to involve a direct expression of public opinion* upon « sjltcm of measure*; varjing rss*utialh from that upon which our political afia rs had been hetotoforo conducted. Abandon tg all hope of success by the votes of the rleciorsl colleges, they resorted to devices, opr4ly a> vowed in sOme quarters, arid but poorly tjisguia-ed a n f where, to prevent a c h o i c e l y - t i e elec­tors, and bring it to tho {-jouse of llepjedenia-tives, where the relative power of UK slates wodtd fa'e lost, nni the largest reduced lo an equality witaihe smallest.

This end can bo jatiy attained, oul r by so e n ­larging the judici, iry system, as to roake.it com­mensurate with tt e increase of business result­ing from pur progress in wealth and population.

It is generally lionceded that something mast be done on Ibis an: iject, but bithertc* all attempts to srcomplisbit have failed, as 1 apprehend, by reason of a diver) sty of views as. to the kind of modification ihM will, in the best manner, ac­commodate this bj ancb of the government to the present and fuiur s exigencies of the state, Of ihe several imprq rementa in the organization of the Supicme.Court which have been proposed. that of increasing the number of judges best

commends itself ti > my judgment. The addiiion of two judges to t ie present number, would re here the court fr< m the burden of business that now oppresses it,! secure a more speedy deci»-too of causes, sot, for many years toscome, render it adequai s to the public .exigencies. V it «ha|l be deem ;a nxpedient to make such a change >u the Col rt of Chancery as will wuh-

dnw from UjeCiri:uu Judpiiliecquii) Dueineis which*!hey Dow di ichargea* Vice Chancellor*,a

less number would be enabled to execute the duties which wo^ d- then be required Of them.

Five or six woul be sufficient now and for -some time hereafier,- to despaieh alt the busi­ness tfut Would | revolve on i fem as'Ctirnuh Judges. ' ,

In the Court of! Jhancery the accumulation of business greatly .ixceeds thaff in the Supreme Court. The dela rf sre here more protracted*, and the consequet ces to suitors more serious. Here too, trie diffiiiulties of deviting so adequate mode of relief *cen to be more formidable. Ii is, I believe, thq| general opinion of those who best understand t i e nature and course of bust* ness in this court that the multiplication of of-fleers subordinate to the Chancellor, will not effectually pverct} n e t h e present defect' in the constitution of ihf court. T o lay any consid erable restraint P'i the right of appeal from a subordinate jurisdxiion, might also be bat little better tbap a de'n,i»l of ju.tice, and ivould be scarcely more t o | :rable (ban a refusal of it, by neglecting to pro,' 'de tribunals for 4i* prqmpt administration. r • • the course of appeal is.kept open, we have already abundant evidence that the amount of business, io this way thrown upon the Chance lor, vj l l be more than any man, whatever may ixfi his capacity, of mind, his pro­fessional acquireirents, or physical abilities, can possibly disebatgj!. % \

If such wouid'|!!iubaljjIy be the result of the modification suggested, then there appears to me to be only ort i other mode of improvpnient (hit w)|| be lilie)> to accomplish the desired end ; and that is lo'provide lor-the appointment of an additional n itnber of equity'judged, to be located indiffefepljparls of Uie^stalG. posses-s:ng.concurrent Urisdictioo wiih the Clijabcel-lor—and lo alio'* appeals to be made' directly f'orn each judgejjo a court of review without subjecting the new officers to the appellate juris
