At the organization Of the Govern ment,
Gen Washington appointed his army friends
to office when he could find them capable.
When Joh1 Adams came in Ms President,
he found oil his friends iu Office and,had few
removals to make.
When Jefferson came in, he made reno
walls in those states where his friends had
been prescribed and he FLIED all vacancies
and made new appointments from among his
friends.

to tho exclusion If all Others il is in vain for us
to talk any longer about Equal Rights Rotation
in Office, and a Republican Government. We
follow shadow, and have lost the substance.
In republican government, whoever
holds an office is practically considered
as the servant Of the people, aud holds
II not for his own interest, but the inter-
est Of his employers. But az it is long
time since there has been any great po-
litical commotioD in the United States,
many of these people have remained sa
long in Office tha; they began to imagine
they had a right to il for life, g. their
children after them. Offices began to
be considered rs sort Of private prop
srty. There 10 no worse sign in a re-
public than tins. Our doctrine is, that
all men are free and equal, and the Ro-
tation in Office is salutary principle
If the income Of Office is small, the in
cumbant should be relieved of It. If
large, others have as good n right to
share in the bounties of the government
as himself Many complain that they
are turued out, because they are unable
to maintain themselves otherwise. In
this free and happy country every man
can find occupation, and almost every
sort Of labor 10 well paid, and for The
infrm and aged, provision IL made by
the humanity Of the laws. We hope
never 10 see the government ofthis coun-
try converted into an establishment for
the maintenance Of paupers.
