The cauons Of party require great sacriuces'
and the man who aims at political distinction,
expects the support Of his party, must submit TO
them without Whispering. Pie must lay aside
all his old fashioned notions Of prnpriety, surren'
der his dignity, and lower his pride OF character

must not doubt the infaIlbiity OF his leader, but
even be we'll pleased to receive bullet from hun,
if he condescends TO relieve the smart by lew
soothing compliments. II be can do this, lie
need not fear of receiving his reward.
The letter of Mr. Branch, late Secretary oil
the Navy, betrays an utter disregard OF these
twhoesome rules. He feels that lie has been i'll
treated, and he expresses his resentment accord
! n.Iy. Well, we like him none the worse tor 1t.
Possibly, by patient aCquiescence anu hali a
score of bows for the compliment to his faithful
services, he might, in good time, have come IN
| for second course Of executive patronage. Dat
he chose en erect and elevated position, and act

holds no compromise with the trucking sugSes-
tons of so, did and selfish mind; anti although
bv thus acting he has undoubtedly cut himself
off from uny further participation in the patron
age of the Executive, the people Of his State will
not fail to reward him with their Appreciation
and that, after ALL to patriotic and hlgh-splrlt-
ed man. is worth all the offices in the gift of the
Federal Executive. We have heard it stated
that the people Of the District in which Mr.
Branch resides, have already puthm in nomlna-
ton for Congress.
Mr. Branch insists Gndeed who can doubt it?)
that he AMI Mr.. lngham were dismissed from Of
flee. although the President admitted that they
had faithfully discharged their respective duties.
He is at a loss to conceive las every body else
must be) how - harmony IN the Cab!net' conid
require their dismissal a, consequence OF the
voluntary retirement Of Van Barren and Eaton;
and he considers the President bound to explain
the true cause TO the people. The people will
probably bayet Ills explanation before long-not,
indeed. from the President, but from some other
quarter .-Nof5!& Herald
