rsk rong hold up5n the great mass OF the
LocSS 30 party, as to give liberation to so
infamous propositIon--though among the
office holders, pets, leaders and expectunts,
/, was to be looked for as the natural result
NJ that abuse Of executive patronage which
has been so alarming and extensive since
the election of Martin Van Buren,. The
effice holders were drunk with power.
They did not suppose it possible that It
could be wrenched from them, by reaction
in the public mind. That beng tone, they
are now ripe for revolution. How untitled
for government like ours, where virtue
should be the ruling principle OF lis sup
porters, was an administration, calculated to
produce such rulnous results, as are con-
,emplated by the Van Burenites. Dreadlu
indeed would be the consequences TO this
country, if the appeal of the Statesman and
Globe were needed.
Yet this is called Democracy--pure-
Jsffersonian democracy--a democracy brea-
thing the spirit of the revolution, warming
ali. hearts with patriotism, and klndIlng
anew the sacred fire Of Liberty, which sent
Its beacon blaze through Christendom in
'76. Never was name more profaned, or
iniquity clothed in fairer garb. 1t Is III
deed whitened sepu.chre. ltis wonder,
that for twelve years past, majority OF
our countrymen should have been found to
support it. They we're deceived butwll
be so no longer.
We regard the election of Gen. Harrison
as death blow to the party. They may
rally for awhile; but not again In numbers
sufficient to regain the ascendency. Their
organization, against all their efforts to the
contrary, cannot be sustained. The effects
of their institutions, destined as they are,
to exercise temporary influence, more OBJ
noxious han they yet have upon the COM
merelal, manufacturing, agricultural, inle-
rests of the country will open many eyes,
yet blinded by the mists of the spoilers.
In this manner, many will honestly forsake
the party-while others governed by the
desire for Office, or emolunent, will from
motives more questionable, do likewise.
The wings will thus increase in numbers
but it may be we'll questioned, whether such
increase is desirable.
Certainly, the fact that they will in
eroase, is a strong reason why the wing
party should sustain and improve its present
organization. 1t has by that alone, to pre-
serve its purity as well as strength, else ii
will lose in the one what it gains IN the 9th
er, until it dcgeneratcs inlo state OF cor
ruption and wickedness like that from which !

Mt all, is life without spice. At all

1t seems, that by means of the blood
hounds, or some other means, the army
have cornered an old Seminole Chief, who
proposes to have "ialk" with the Gene
raj. The General will doubtless effect
treaty in this "mlk." Our experience on
the subject of Treaties thus made, has no,
been sufficient. We need additional proof

ia, that nation of Indians who have been
driven to desperation by the treacherous
policy of their enemies, will not observe
treaty made and ratified with one or two

other war at this time and we have ex :
pended but forty millions of dollars in this |
one, it is necessary to resort to those ex-
pedients already tried and proved abortive,
in order to protract it from year to year,
SO that the super abundance of money in
the Treasury may not lie there uscIcss.--
There is nothing like devis:ng ways and
means to expend money; and this stalk
between the Seminole Chief and General
Armlstead, VIC may reasonably hope, will
produce this much wished for and desirable
result.

Every UkSg should ,cork.--We have n,
occasion to lecture our wing farmers aud me
chanics upon the importance of being industri
Gus, and Of pursuing their various avocations
with diligence, forwe believe they understand
the Importance Of improving their time to the
greatest pecuniary advantage. But while they
work upon their farms, or in their shors, they
should not forget their country-their bleeding
country. The blessings of that liberty which
our country has enjoyed, have been experience
ed by them; and they should recoIlect that the
patriotic Wings Of rs worked-and trorkcti
hard, that their descendants might enjoy IT,
When, therefore, the liberties of the country
are assailed by internal foes, every one who
loves liberty should be as anxious to maintain
it, as our fathers were to gain it. Our forefath-
ers pledged their elves. their fortunes, and
their sacred honor" in support Of that declara-
ton, whose fruits we have enjoyed for so many
years. The tree of liberty is threatened with
destruction-the destroying norm is creeping
upon IFS branches, and rioting upon its beauti-
ful foliage. Will those who delight to rest un-
der the broad shadows Of this tree, suffer il to
be thus dispoled Of its beauty, and in the end
ruined, from mere Incidence on their part
To drop the figure When the purity of
our republican institutions, if not their Ion
ger continuance, is at stake will not every re-
publican do his duty2 Will not every man
who sees the danger TO which we are exposed,

in the first place, we answer, acquaint your
selves more thoroughly with the mischevous
doctrines advanced by the tory party compare
them with the doctrines of Washington, Jeifer-
son and Madison, and other pure spirits of for
mer times, who believed that governments
were instituted for the benefit of the people,
and not for Office holders. A comparison like
this will stimulate you to action, for you can
not fail to see the danger We are in. Show
your neighbors who have taken less pains to
inform themselves, that we are in imminent
danger Of shipwreck, in consequence Of the ig-
norance or wiliulness Of the pilots who have
undertaken TO conduct The ship Of state. All
know that something is wrong, for we have
