The edct has gone forth for the expulsion OF the able
consistent, and hgh-mioded representative Of the Old
Dominion" from the ranks of the Democratic party,
i,erated in the Albany Argus of Saturday last. Had
it contained recital after the following form where
il is desirable efectuay TO divorce the State of
Virginia from the present Administration" &c, it
could not have parisken the hues of gosser natuaton
and impotence. OF course the editor OF the Globe,
whose rfan spirit has long gloated over its distinguish
ed VICTIM accompanies its discovery that the Virginia
Senator an old federast, with its accustomed de-
cency Of oburation and courtesy of nvective. What

and an enlightened and patriotic statesman. will con-
found many who have supposed themselves able TO
comprehend the proprety Of denunciatons. We have
one word at parting to address the ministers of the
new sacrifice TO be offered to the Moloch Of Loco Fo-
colsm. "Vlpers ye gnaw file" and the blood which
begr'me your Jaws, will run from vonr own laceraed
pores. There is no man in this Union-we speakit
emphatlcal WHO commands the public confidence in

one, we may add, whose present course attracts
larger share Of public attention. He undoubtedly holds

OF FEDERAL OFF,
GERS IN ELECTIONS.

Mr.. CRITTENDEN's BLL.-We perceive
that sundry newspapers, supported by Office
holders, and protesting to be " democratic"
are out in full cry against this popular move
ment to preserve the freedom and purity of
elections. 1t is natural that they should up
hold every species Of corruption and abuse,
means and appliance, by which alone the
party in power expect to force the people
into subsection. But as these democrats"
avow themselves disciples and followers of
Thomas Jefferson, we should like to know
how they can reconcile their conduct with
the precepts taught by that great apostle of
their pretended faith. The words Of THOMAS
JEFFERSON will give most emphatic rebuke
TO the inconsistent outcry of the supporters
Of the office-holders claims to power. In
letter to Governor Mexican, Of Pennsylvania,
dated February 2, 1901, that Republican said
"One thing I will say tha, as to the future, inter-
ferences with elections, whether of the State or &C.
neral Government, by officers OF the latter, should
be deemed cause Of remorai: BECAUSE THE CON
STITUTIONAL REMEDY BY THE ELEC-
TIVE PRINCIPLE BECOMES NOTHING, IF
IT MAY BE SMOTHERED BY THE ENOR-
MUS IA RONAGE Of lie rEDEnAL
GOVERNMENT"
In furtherance of such truly Republican
views Of this matter, it will be recollected that
Jefferson issued a circular, which we have re-
peatcdIy published, prohibiting, expressly, the
officers of the federal government from inter-
(erins in elections. 1t is probable that Go
vernon Mexican complained to the President
ofthe United States, Of abuses similar 10 those
which have recently been practised in Penn
sylvania by the officers Of the federal govern
ment But when similar complaints are made
TO the modern "denocrat' in the Presidential
chair, the complaints are treated with scorn
and indignity. The collector of Boston left
his business to browbeat the people in Par
menter's District into the support Of that abo-
lition "Democrat !" the collector and other
federal officers at New York marched the per
sons in their employ, like corps of Bow street
Guards, TO the ballot boxes, brawlng, bullying
and intmidating the electors similar conduct
distinguished many officers Of the General
Government in Maine, and during the recent
elections in Philadelphia, we heard of the col
ector Of that port and his officers, Of the Post
