It appears that the President has already given to meddling politicians a "touch of ttis quality" -that firmness and independence of character .which' we have attributed to him,from the time of his nomination. It seems that the Congressional Delegation ' Trom Pennsylvania waited on him,' and objected to lhe appointment of Mr. Meredith as Secretary of the Treasury.

This matter having been taken up in the Capital, by the right sort of men, we may , look for the right; sort of doings among them. We anticipate happy results from the proposed . meeting , in April, and are confident that the present movement will add vigor and effect to the labors of. the friends of the glorious system of internal improvement, all along tke line of the Road, where the interest is so immediate, as well as on those in more remote sec- tions. In fact, no portion of our State will be unalfec ed by the success of this great scheme and we, there fore hope none of our people will hesitate to encour--aje it. - :.. ,:. . : GOVERN3I EXT OF CALIFORNIA. The whol country will regret the omission of Congresa to provide for the government of Califor nia. The Civil and Diplomatic Bill contained the ecessary provision, and was passed by the House ; but 'fhe Senate adjourned without acting upon it. At the last moment a bill was passed extending the Revenue Laws over that Territory and that is "all 'that has been done. The peculiar state of the coun try ; the diversified character of its population, and the vast influx of the immoral and licentious, demand the most stringent application of law. - We . agree with many who think that the President will be obliged to call an extra session of Congress to meet the emergency. . r- : i o 74.497 tons. , 353 vessels wcre-cmnloved.'rinfi iha'to 651. 1 :T!ie retail pfice . abroad vriasArin , , IJavana, where it is a monopoly, it geljs ntoi;cntafl pound j in Calcutta it is sold. :at about J ceius a ppuoF, 4nd in Now Orleans it varies in jirice froiti 3 ents down ff to half a cent a pounds Upwards oi'23,003 tons Txtd, Annually consumed In this city;i ; -i .,: W!'M,.u ri - ,i "Massacbusetts is the' principal if ndt the exclu siv6tplaco of e:port"of icefj Shc endys a monopoly of the ice trade'.'.'.
