There are, we understand, similar cases of re-
wards given to Presidential electors in other
States, for their. services in eleyating him to
the chair of State. A full enumeration of them
would be a useful addition to the facts already
before the public, illustrating the history of the
Board of Reaoards and PuMishmenLs," and
their immaculate Chief. There seems to be
scarcely corner of the Union where this man
can be followed, in which he will not be found
prostituting the station of Chief Magistrates

TIE MORAL SENSE. Mr.. Everett, in his
speech against the Indian Bill, introduced Off
cal statements that the Indians who had emf
grated west OF the Mississippi, were in very
destitute and suffering condition SO much so,
indeed, that the living child had often been BIZ
ried with the dead mother, for want of susie
nance. Mr.. Lewis, of Alababa said that the
gentleman's appeal to the sympathy of the
House reminded him of an old maid, of his ae.
quaintance, who pitied goose because it had to
go barefoot in the winter Mr.. Everett replied
that he could see no resemblance between the
two cases and if the honorable member could
do so, he cnvied him neither his discernment
nor his humanity Washington Spectator.
REMOVALS. Mr. Holmes, in his able speech
in the United States Senate on the policy eff the
Administration relative TO removals from office,
remarks that the number made by John Adams
was cLeoen only.
The number made by Jefferson has been rep
resented by the apologists of Jackson to have
been three or four hundred whereas Mr..
Holmes has found no record of more than thirty
sir, which must be considered as the true num-
Der, unless shown to be false.
The list of removals during Madson's Ad-
ministration, comprised fre.
Monroe removed only nine from Office during
.he eight years which he occupied the -execu.
tive chair.
John Quincy Adams removed taco only, DUR
ing his four years so that during thirty-two
years of our national existence, and the govern.
ment of five Presidents, there were ffty.three
officers removed.
During the first years existence of Jackson's
reign of terror, he has prescribed too hundred
and tkirty-aiRe. But reform stops not its
course with 239 victims The Post Master
General has removed 500 Of his Deputies, and
it is reasonable to suppose that 500 assistants
and clerks, connected with the deputies, shared
abe same fate. Add to these the subordinate
officers of the customs removed, as officially re-
ported ISL; and the still further addition of
deputy collectors and clerks in the custom
houses, deputy marshals, private secretaries of
Foreign Ministers, clerks in the land and other
Offices, surveyors, &c. amounting in all to 600,
and we have the round number of u 2 900 IN
who have felt the iron hand of oppression since
the imbecile jackson took the Executive Chair
If the people ask the reason for this general
sweep from Office, they have the answer from
the Generals own mouth piece. 1t has been
done that he might Reward his friends and
punish his opponents. "-LOaosL Journal.
sails FAIR IN PoLITIcs" Mr.. Noah got
his place on denomination, by avowing
preference for Calhoun to Van Buren,. The
Richmond Wing says, tive should like to
know how long it is since his preference for
the Vice President dates its origin? We
should not be surprised if Mr. Van Buren,
himself, put Noah up to the stratagem, and
now laughs with him at his success. Noahs
