cautious and economical farmers, who

aZThe Albany Daily Advertiser re-
cords the prostraton of Anti Masonry in

a violent flame, it has burnt out as rapidly
az it commenced, and has ceased 10 exist
as party"
This is good, but not unexpected, news.
Anti Masonry, by its eccentriclty, has
contributed extremely to the sway ofJack
sonism, refusing always to act in concert,
while it professed equal opposition TO that
perncious personal party. 1t should have
ever confined its efforts TO the State where
it originated and where it had something
TO redress, and never have presumed to
interfere with national politics, with which
it had no proper connexion. We said
two years ago, that it was far too narrow
a basis for great parties TO stand and
fight upon, aud that it would go out like
the last "sough of a candle" The time
has come, and we trust to hear no more
of it. Its history is singular feature in

Randolph was sadly abused by the Collar
Press, for his speedy return and reception
of the emoluments of his office. MIR. Blu

with open arms by the party in Philadel

The practice Of sending out diplomatic
functionaries, to stay abroad just so long
as TO render their places most lucrative, is
a growing and scandalous evil. 1t is in
fact, neither more nor less, than paying
douceWs TO favorites out Of the Treasury,
under the pre,ence Of promoting the pub
lie service. 1t was detained against by
Jackson's friends before his election II
was one Of those abuses which he promis-
ed to reform; but like all his promises of
that nature, the accomplishment has in
creased the abuse. Congress has redress
in its own hands, and we trust the time
has come when it will apply it.
