ADVERTISER II is good comment upon recent re-.
mark of ours, that a bad reason for removing faith
tu officers, is better than none. 1t proves ono thing
however Jackson papers are in great strcights
for defence of that Which, is in itself utterly indie
icnshe.
The Hon. Ross Smiley has been appointed Rcris-
ter of the Land Office at Jcffcrsnnvilc Indiana in
The place of Samuel Gic1thmey, Esq removed.
Against Mr.. Gwatbmcy no charges has. we pre-
sumo, been made. He had held the Office how
cve7, r tcentyoDc gears and has boon probably re-
moved IN Pursuance Of the general principles on
which this administration have resolved fo net We
do not rejoice IN the misfortune Of MIR. Gwatlncv il
n misfortune II may be termed: hut We are rraicd
that his removal affords uncrriug evidence that the
administration IS resolved to progress in The business
at reform, until the friends of the President shall he
placed ~ the possession of equitable portion Of the
Offices OF trust and profit
When MI the offices of the nation were held by
our pdvcrsarics, i all right Nothing short ola

rule of action should he made TO co upon them to
the utmost extent they can have lust cause com
plain. j. viii only be doing unto them as they would
do unto us.
/ 1F There is no doubt now remaining, thu the
declaration made by Mr. Tanner, Editor Of tho
Watchtower in Kentucky, that ne had received let
terS from Mcssrs Van Buren, and Barry avoring the
election of Mr. Booker, over Mr.. Knc1id is f,lsc-
no tuch letters were received by him. lie has now
FORMALLY declared so. The Louisville Advertiser,
Jackson paper, true blue, says
"1'hc declarations of Mr.. Tanner on tliis subject
were satisfactorily established. lie now admits they
were false. HIS various attacks upon Mr.. Kincaid
