system Of special depostes. We anticipate
no cessation in the removals from office-we

suit Of Mr.. Van Buren's study, rs that Of the
Increasing applications for Office, and the inn
poltunilies with which he i distressed by his
partisans. A change Of the Cabinet, and the
bringing in Of characters in whom the public
generally have great confidence, will be de-
sired, and perhaps attempted. A change Of
men. and moderation Of policy and mea-
sures. would undoubtedly produce favorable
effect with some. But il is very doubtful,

any thing be attempted, it will be known TO be
the offspring Of selfish fear, and not of we'll
seated and patriotic principle. The public,
therefore, will be on their guard, watching fu-
tnre movements in reference to their motive,
as well as to their practcability.
We trust that the Wings, CALAMITY and mag
nanilnoasly, as they have employed themselves
in this contest, will not forget that without the
Conservatives, with whom they differ in some
points, their strength would have been weak
ness. II any thing is accomplished, now or
hereafter, it will be done by such cooperation
and concession as will Danish every thought
Of disgust or disaffection, and unite every ele-
ment Of opposition, firmly, in the great and
final effort to stop the torrent Of consolida-
ton, and save US from galloping into mo-
narchy.
