Though the election has passed, correspondent
requests the insertion Of the following from Van Bu-
rem paper:
From the Patriot and Democratic.
Many of your readers have been anxiously expect
ing for sometime to witness the resignation of Mr..
Beers, into the hands Of the people, of his splendid of
fee of Commissioner of the School Fund. Upon Re-
publican principles it would seem that this should
his nomination for Governor, by the Mddletown Con-
venton. An accumulation OF profitable places, or
the long continuance, in one hand OF very profitable
office, it is well known, is an unheard ofrecommenda-
ton upon Republican ticket, especially in the
Ut one who has been, in matters of accumulation, so
adrot as MI. Beers
1t is difficult to perceive upon what ground he de-
tablshed principle on which the equalization and
taton of profit and honor among his brethren, has
long and so invariably rested Besides, the numerous
which have been laVished upon him by an indulgent
Legislature should reconcile him to the Of his
party.
Iisjustly expected, that one who has held for ma
ny years the best Office in the State, and made him
self very wealthy from the public chest and who has
recently been nominated, by the Loco Foco Powow,
for Chief Magistrate Of the State, and who intends to
brance, and stand forth before the people without the
aid of foreign ornament. The people have now many
candidates before them for places of honor and profit
1t will be hazardous to- withhold from them any re-
commentator so grateful, as that of an entire dsen-
cumbrance of all public engagements whatever. The
disinterestedness it would prove; the absence of all
naotiUe but public spirit the implicit submission to
primary principle of democratic equaity the total and
cheerful confidence which he would yield to the ability
of the people, as well as their desire to elect him
would establish him in an unquestonabe claim to the
neither to be sought nor refused by any hghminded
man. the prompt retirement from the best office in
the State, which he now holds, to serve the public in
worthy, both OF his democracy and PATRIOTISM.
