PROSCRIPTION LIST. No. XXXVI.
" Off with his head.—So much for Buckingham."
APPOINTMENTS BY THE PRESIDENT
Cornelius P. Van Ness, of the State of Vermont, to be Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary of the United States to Spain, in the place of Alexander H. Everett, recalled.
William Pitt Preble, of the State of Maine, to be Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary of the United States to the Netherlands.
Washington Irving, of the State of N York, to be Secretary of the Legation of the United States to Great Britain.
Charles Carroll Harper, of the State of Maryland, to be Secretary of Legation for the United States to France.
T. H. Smith, of New York, vice Joseph Nourse, removed.
More "Reform" In The Post Office.—It is stated in the Albany Argus that Augustine G. Dauby, Editor of the Omaha Observer, has been appointed Postmaster at Utica, one of the principal distributing offices in this State, vice James Platt removed; and that Charles Butler has been in like manner appointed Postmaster at Geneva, another principal distributing office, vice David Hudson removed. We presume from the character of these reforms, that Mr. Van Buren does not as Secretary of State, mean to be prevented, as in other days he complained of being, from "penetrating the interior," by reason of " the rascally Postmasters."

Calvin C. Waller, Esq. has been appointed Postmaster at Middlebury, Vt. vice George Cleveland, Esq. removed.
George W. Hill, Esq. (brother of Isaac Hill, we believe, and printer of a little scurrilous paper,) is appointed Postmaster in Montpelier, Vt. in the place of Joshua Vail, Esq. removed.
We announced the other day the appointment of Mr. Secretary Ingham's brother Isaiah to an important office in Ohio, thus keeping " the loaves and fishes" as much as possible in the family. Duff Green's Telegraph squints at this and says " the appointment was made in the retary of the Treasury."
This is "very like a whale."
In reply, however, we have two remarks to make. The first is, that if this appointment really and truly took place without the presence or knowledge of Mr Secretary Ingham, we venture to say, it is the first time that gentleman has failed to appear either in person or by proxy, at the division of the spoils, or distribution of official prizes, since he put on the new man in politics. Our second observation is, that if the Telegraph statement be indeed true it would show a very remarkable state of things at Washington. The office in question is one which has an intimate connexion, and is, as it were, a subordinate branch of the Treasury Department—a Receiver of Public Monies. Who then so proper to consult in the making of such an important appointment, as the Head of that Department? We should think if the judgment of Mr. Secretary Ingham was appealed to on any occasion of appointment, it would undoubtedly be, in cases of this kind. To say that he was not consulted, is saying little, for the credit of the appointing power—wherever this be in effect lodged. And if, as we believe most likely, he was consulted, it only shows, as we said at first, " Samuel D. Ingham's notions of reform," when he turns out a faithful and efficient officer to make room for his brother. But if the Telegraph may be relied on for once, for a fact, and Isaiah has been smuggled into office, without the knowledge of the Secretary of the Treasury, let the present Head of that Department do an honest, disinterested act, and have him turned out forthwith !

The eighteenth EDITOR—We some time ago expressed our surprise that Shadrach Penn, editor of the Louisville Advertiser, after Duff Green the most skilfully abusive of all the Jackson editors, had not yet received his reward. It will appear by the annexed paragraph from the Kentucky Focus, that the cause of our surprise is at an end : Shadrach is rewarded, and in a new form.—Rich. Whig.
We understand, that the Editor of the Advertiser at this place has received his reward. He is employed to print all the blanks for the post offices in the western country, from Pittsburgh to Orleans, and from the Alleghany to the Rocky Mountains. Hitherto this printing has been done at different points more convenient to the offices to be supplied. By the new arrangement, two objects will be effected. The largeness of the job enables the contractor to do the work a little cheaper, so that something may be said about economy—and still the profits will make a rich reward to the favored partisan. That the ultimate expense to the government will be less, we are a little skeptical. The late postmaster general, a Jackson man, had authorized a large stock of blanks to be printed, which are now on hand; but the new printer contends that the old blanks should be thrown away, that he may have the benefit of furnishing a new supply fresh from the economical mint of Jackson and reform.
[Louisville Focus.]
The work of Reform still progresses—every mail brings us the names of fresh victims, offered up on the altar of Revenge, or as the Telegraph in our opinion has it of those men who are civil are proscribed because they exercise the freedom of opinion and selves passed under. We have heard much the administration of Adams but the evils of that administration compared to those which are practised present Administration. That punished men for libelling the government and the degree of punishment was regulated by a Court and Jury after a fair trial but now men and their innocent families too, are punished infinitely more severely without the least ceremony, and for no other reason than for exercising a constitutional privilege.
