Correspondence of the Courier. WAssis OTOq, April 3.< Gen. Taylor remarked, a few lays an'o, to an ex-member'of Congress, that be did VoI, Wish, in the course of his adriinistra lion of the government, to see a single uppointment announced of any person, "in ..the. place of".an-person. 'r-emoted." I'the iucumbent'sitermn thad expired it would be another matter. All the appointments ihitherto made have been in the place of officers whose terms had expired. In one instance; that' of Mr.-Joseph -Bates. who' was appointed in the place of Mr. Cocke temowed-the fact of the removal was sup pressed-in the ifieial anntiuciation. On Saturoay, some few removals or clerks in the departtnents were made for cause. One of these cases, that of Mr. Stubbs, disbursing agent of the State De. partment. makes some noise. Mr. Stubbs had been in office twenty years, nod was a popular and efficient officer. lie was unfortunate, however. in falling under the censure of a Committee of the House vomestime ago. on account of an alleged participation in the accusation got up by Mr. C.J. luigersoll against Mr. Webster. It is b',id th1i Mr. Clayton ordered the removal with great reluctance. and ttnder the immediate order of the Cahinet.

I cannot undertake to soy. It was erroneously btated yesterday titat the Cabinet, in a protracted council, resolved upon the remnvals 1f the Post Master of New-York, Philadelphia and Baltimore. They will not take these mniters for a month or two. The term of the ap poiniment of the present Post Master of New.York will expire on the 214t May next. He was active in the political can paign, and left hit ffice for a long time while engaged in pirty matters-all which has, of course, been treasured up against him. The same charges are brought against the Poit Master (if Baltimore; but still the changes are not urged by the people of those cities, but by applicants for the offiees; therefore it is that some of the members of the Cabinet, when pressed on this subject, make the reply that there is no complaint, on the part of the public. against the present incumbent, and that this is an evidence that their removal is not demanded by the public interests. I{perceive that the movements ni the aamigistration are too slow and cautious for the impatience of applicants, and there is no doubt that they wtll, ere long, as sam-o a,position of hostility towards it. The disclosure. of M1r. Reyntlds con tinue to excite remark. The feeling here in regard to them is that they were op portune and useful, but ctnirely unauthori Ned and undiplomatic. Mr. R. it is re marked, had no more right to publish M1r.

Sam Houston & Mr. Calhoun.

His object seem ingly was to defend himse/f; but his bona f&de intention, as made clear by his address, was to attack Mr. Calhonn. His labor however will be in vain. It will not do much harm, we think, to any body exceipt himself-certainly very little to the one at whom lys sarcnim is aimed, who rises abore him in all that is intel lectually and morally great, like the stately oak above the thorny brainble-bush. The strong est force that could attach to Senator Hons ton's address is wantiig. The assetti, ns it puts forth are not siatined by in honest, open, manry chararter. The man who has so truck led to a selfish policy, as to overlook the true interests of hin country, in order to advance the ends of his personal ambit~on, is not a fit censor of the public conduct of such a man, as Mr. Calhoun-who, despito every thing his -nemies have snid,-has with. uniform steadi. ness, sacrificed his own interest to the interests of his con trv. We see nothing in Senator Houston's letter to convince us, that he has not played trait to the South, on more occasinns than one. Mr. Clay's Carrington Letter.

The letter appears bot to have been given to the public before. Mr. Clay says lie proposed and sustained the Compromise Act ir. the most perfect good fniih, and that his resolutions of l42, on the Tariff were founded upon the pripipIes of thni Aut.

Ahd thon Mr. Clay acknowledges Iho abandoned the comnprimwise Act-as he considered home valuaion to be otne of its great pillars. " Wheno I saw (lhe writes) that tihe principle of home vaiatinn-ono of the great piliirsof the compromise act-wns to be opposed and could tnt the enforced, I felt myself absolved from all obligattion to abide by that act, (the coimpromtise CCt.)

Two things. then appear manifest from Mr. Clay's lettter :--First, that he did neially aban don the comnpromtise Act.

This address truly shows, as the Herald remnaiks. hat the leaven of abolition is at work within us. Perhaps the enclosed letter will lead to ihe-detection-of the an. thors of this conspiracy. I send you a copy of the address, and the letter I refer to. which was received by the Charleston Mercury, and which was evidently direct ed to the Mercury office by mistake, in steatd of an article for publication under the signature of "Justice" to which the letter refers.
