NEW DoCTRINE-"THE GLOBE"

| In the Globe of the 18th inst at the close OF
a long article on the subject Of CLERKS in the
Departments" we were surprised to find new
theory promulgated as regards the relations that
ought to exist between incumbents in place and
the powers that prevail for the time being. As
we have no party feeling in our career, and care
not whether Wings are in, or Democrats are out,
we may be said to be in that IN medic yeritas
Rposilion which enables us to Judge impartiay
whether rules that vary the established usages are
faction. The Globe says:
SIN our opinion, no man should be entrusted
| with an Office where want of vigilance could
! bring dsrepule on the Government (much less
/ ruin on its finances,) who did not take an active
| interest in the success of the Administration
/ Heretofore politicians have commended that in
order to restrain the great power of all admins
traton, in its ramifcations of patronage, not only
should the agents faithful in office, who are simp
\ ly opposed to the prevailing party, be retained
! but that those who are its advocates should be
prevented from using official station to augment
its force or diminish that of its adversares The
opinion, however, as above quoted, puts new
cooring upon the duties of public servants and
henceforth if this suggestion shall become the
doctrine of the Government, men who accept Of
flee must prepare themselves not only to make
conscience glove that may be put on or off at
pleasure, but to do the double labor of serving
the public and at the same time taking san actiue
interest IN the success Of the Administration"
Now do not cavil at this heretical dogma of the
Globe announced, no doubt, as the mouth-pece
of its party, because it is proclaimed under this
Observation-Disclosures we have no prejutlices on
that score-but because it is absolutely subver-
sve Of that independence which ought to char
acterse every American citizen, whether in or out
of Office, and because it tends by the patronage
of the Executive to turn the gifts of office, which
intended for the general good into party brides,
so as to perpetuate the power of one set of men,
and subugate the rest.
The American People of all sides must look
at this mercenary and substituting policy with dis
gust; and in the spirit of charity exempt the Adj
ministration from the attempt to bind its country
men to this Of Juggernaut, which makes
Victims Of its voaries and attribute it's origin to
that true source-selfishness, which has long
characterized the conductor of that false light in
|politcs-'s,fhe Globe"

he would be ashamed Of the ignorance he has dis
played in the classification Of those in office who,
under his pen, are marked for sacrifice or for
mercy. Experience, time, knowledge of the
men, and their doings, teach us that there are
among those Of the pure democracy whom he
would save, some of the vilest recreants that dis
graced the parties Of the last war. We do not
mean to speak of federasts in contradistinction
to patriots, as he does--lor we know that some Of
that denomination then were, and still are, no.
nored with the confidence of all who love their
country-but to say, that some of his pseudo
democrats were in the time of peril, not only
federalists by name but opposers of the war, par
tisans of the Hartford Convention, adversares OF
American principles, and, like llimself-the just
"Aristdes' while many of those
whom he denounces were, from ancestors TO chill
dren, republicans in action, and patriots in prin-
cpe.

MOVE IN LOUISIANA TO REPEAL THE NAT
URALIZATION LAWS.

The Report of the Committee in the Legisa-
ture to whom was referred the Memorial Of the
Native American Association of that State, is
spoken of as statesman like and patriotic pro-
duction. We shall now, at the next session, ap-
pear before Congress with the strong auxiliary OF
sovereign State, and we trust our fellow-coun-
trymen elsewhere will exert themselves to swell
the list of petitioners upon this most important
subject. A great deal is said by politicians about
filling up the vast unoccupied wilds of the West,
and the extent of our country is used as an ar
gument to justify the encouragement of immigra-
ton. This, however, is reason derived from
sheer selfshness from that meretricious desire in
the Spectator to augment the value of his lands
in the ratio of the settlements; that to accomplish
his ends he would barter away principles, coun-
try, and countrymen. Money, with such men,
is the great mover the object, the end, the soul,
of their existence; and friends, the homes of their
youth, and patriotism, fade away before the inf
ence Of the golden god which enables them to
be passive cosmopolites, citizens of the world,
without tie, an obligation, or devotion to any
strength to the Republic, by increasing the num-
Der of her citizens without reference to their ORR
gin, their m,ateriel, their fitness, is faIlacious
both as to fact and principle. In the Revolution
and during the last War, we were stronger as CO.
lonies in the one instance, and as nation in the
other than we are now; for then there was a
greater concentration Of our power, by reason of
the homogeneousness of our population and the
sameness OF our feeling.
tits erroneous as TO principle, because although
numerically we have more citizens III 1899,
than we had in 1912, we are still weaker in point
of moral influence, in question of war, and less
efficient in force, because the augmentation is by
artificial and unnatural means, and because the
subjects which compose that augmentation, in.

CLERKS IN THE PUBLIC OFFICES.

! For some weeks, we have been observant of
the base attempts made by some writer in the
F" Metropolis" under the signature of "Aristides,"
| to filch the bread from the mouths Of many wor-
thy and respectable men in office here, by de-
nouncing them as hostile to the present admins
tration, and by arraying them in political catego
ries odous to the ultra jacobnsm of some of the
power-serving vassals of the day. We have de-
precated such conduct, for many reasons: first,
because, whatever is mans opinion in questions
of mere hypothetical right, it is sacred property,
that ought not to be invaded, except through the
means Of judicous argument and by the evil
dences of truth; secondly, because it is pratt
cal course to pounce down upon the enjoyments
of some, in order to crafty the imaginary Gre
ated wants of others; thirdly, because the danger of
such attacks diminishes that independence of feel
ing and of judgment which give an honest and
firm character to the individual, and because, by
continually holding up this phantom of terror to
the humble and the INDECENT incumbent, it unset
ties his hopes of support alarms the companion
and children Of his home, and leaves the future of
shadows and darkness. That men, from any mo-
tive, can be the authors Of so much pain, is a
subject of surprise; but that for the sake of mere
partisan feeling-because the opinions of one. set
cannot, in the provdential organization of the hui
man mind, follow in the judgment or the preju-
dces of another set of men-they shall be de-
nounced as unworthy citizens, and their daily food
made the spos for those who outnumber them,
is not merely the wantonness of human depravity,
but an outrage upon that divine law which, from
the beginning, has established those differences,
that, from the conflict of reason, truth might be
made visible.
That every administration should, in the begin
ming of its career, or even in its progress, place
in the Offices made vacant by contingencies its own
friends, is not only admissible, but perhaps pro-
per; but there is wide difference between filling
vacancies which time has made and making va
cancies which worth had filled. The citizens of
this place have too often seen, of late years, how
suddenly its community could be changed by the
wand Of the politlcian-how the friends of years,
faithful in office, firm in principles, social and
kind in intercourse, could be turned into msan-
thropes by the proscriptive hand of party-and
how, like the wandering Arabs, the tents of many
years standing have been removed, to give place
to those of new and distant tribes. We had
hoped that this changing scene was over, and
that, at least, the subordinate incumbens of office
would be LETT free and at ease to pursue the even
tenor of their way, no matter of what faith, and
thus ensure security to them and permanence to
our own society We believe it will still be so,
Notwithstanding the efforts of this false " Aris-
tides"
If this new comer-who, we understand, is a
foreigner, one disappointed in his pretensions for
|oflice--knew as much of our citizens as we do,
