they must feel that the course they have pursu-
ed and are pursuing must produce tremen-
dous reaction. We have no disposition 10 a.
dept the common slang which calls every remo-
val prescription but we cannot believe that
the system of indiscriminaie removal land
more especially in regard TO the post office
depsriment) which seems TO have been carried
on without the slightest reference TO the char
actefs or competency OF those who are remov-
ed or those who are appointed, will, al no very
remote period, agltate the public feeling
which now seems TO have been drugged with
opiates aud in state OF singular InseDsibility-
aud cause an explosion that must destroy the
agents IN this boosted work of reform. When
tia, event shall take place, they will not look
for the sympathy of The people. Every one
knows how natural il is to view with satisfac-
ton process ofretaliaIion. and with what plea

Although IL is not known 10 us that Mr.. c. has
expressed ever SO distant thought of ags ain be-
coming a candidate for the Presidency. yet We
have little doubt that he oil be-and that he
will be supported by powerful party in the
West, which will be aided by the New England
and the Central States. That tho effolis OF
this party viii I've successful, too, we have no
doubt, nPresident Jackson Shouldd be a eau
ddate for re.ele ciion, and the only candidate
of the present dominant party. II has been
generally supposed that General Jackson
would not consent To be candidate for re-
election, and the inference has been justified
by his own observations and the general Ian
guage OF all his partizans up to the moment
Of his success at the recent election. Since
then, however, the tune is pitched on another
key, and some of the leading Jackson prints
have denied hat the CONCLUSION is fair one
and endeavor 10 make the people believe that
he will be persuaded to yield himself TO their
ehtreatles aud suffer them 10 buc-
k'e the administration harness on his back for
another ierm.
The following paragraph is quoted, in the
National Journal, from the Poughkeepsie Jour
nal:
I'VE have not yet believed, nor do we now
believe, thai either Mr. Calhoun or Mr. Van
Buren, will be a candidate at the nett Presiden-
'ml election. Il GeaeralJ lives, he will be
ayorlte OF the people ofihai election, as he was
At the last and the contest will be between
General Jackson and Mr.. Clay. OF this We
think there is no doubt"
We know not on what authority the writer
IF this paragraph fixes bis belief but admit

10 the friends of Mr. Clay They believe, as
ar as We are acquainted with their views, that |
ne only possible contingency that can defeat |

multiplication OF candidates, and the conse.
luent de- ision OF the election by the H.use Of
representatives. Reduce tue number Of can. |
