POLITICAL PROFLIGACY.
Our national Legislature is little
less than mass Of political prohiga-
cy, an unfailing index OF the general
condition of party politics throughout
the country. Look at the House of
Representatives at Washington; the
suppurating head Of the bile, that,
covering the whole surface Of the DO
dy polite, jets forth at the ca itol, the
concentrated rottenness which it ga
theirs from the diseased whole. There
is no soundness in 1t. 1t is managed
for private ends, and to crafty priv
ate ambition. Place and power are
the worthiest objects nine tenths Of
the members have in view, and to
compass those glorious ends, the good
Of the country is the last consitera-
ton that troubles them. .'-
We will not again refer to the high
handed act OF usurpation by which the
Constitution was trampled under, foot
at the, dawn Of the session, and, the
State Of New Jersey virtually obbed
Of her representation; ,that we pass by
with this single remark, that if New
Jersey had sent one man who posses
sed the true mettle of a patriot, with
her broad seal as the evidence of his
right on the floor of the House, that
man would have seen the capitol sha-
ken to its foundations, and the consti-
tuition utterly annihilated, before he
would have submitted to the infamy
Of seeing his state and his country 50
shamelessly disgraced. ~ 2,3.' s. s'''s

Iih Whereupon the Globe comes out

ing another article. of Duff Green's,
published in the Baltimore Repub-
llcan, as a basis shifts the whole odium
OF the transaction on Gales & Seaton.
The amount Of the affair.", as ap-
pears on the face Of the elimination
and recrimination, is, this, That
Gales & Seaton offered Duff Green
three thousand dollars for the State
Rights influence in their behalf, the
same terms that Allen has former
y embraced, when the conservative
influence twas desirable; that Duff
Green rejected it, and proposed bet
ter terms for himself to Gales & Sea-
ton, who rejected them; that Gales
& Seaton made farther overtures to
Duff Green; that the latter consulted
the state rights party in reference to
them; and thatthe State Rights party
told Duff Green that s'under the pecu-
liar situation of parties, no arrange
mcnt by which Duff Green should in
any wise participate in printing could
be made, without subjecting them to
the imputation Of using the power
accidentally placed in their hands to
bestow office on their personal friend
that this imputation would impair
their moral power and weaken their
influence, which should be, brought in
aid Of the great questions now Before
the country:
Now we look at this business in
no party light, for both sides are
equally odious in such transactions,
but we are determined to drag the
perpetrators from their subterfuge.
The Calhoun clique would not consent
to let Duff Green be one Of the ack-
nowledged printers, and Gales T. Sea-
ton bid too low for his mere influence.
Without that influence, Blair & Rives
could not be elected. These gentle
men have endeavored to throw the
whole disgrace on Gales & Seaton
with Allen, but are careful to find no
fault with Duff Green. There can
be no doubt of the reason of all this.
At the commencement of the session
Green could bargain with Gales 4
Seaton, because the coalition had not
then been proposed between Calhoun
and the president, but as soon as that
was effected, "the peculiar situation
of parties" would not allow it. Mr.
Calhoun then said to Duff. Green
"My dear sir, circumstances alter ca
ses; we must give our influence to
Blair & Rives, but it will not do for
our moral influence for you to APP
pear. But you may make with them
such bargain for cake and ale, as
you best know how to do,
! Such is a specimen of the political
.proAigacy of the times.

In our last paper we urged upon our
Democratic friends, the great impor-
lance of prompt and early action in the
ensuing contest. Believing that our
friends have duly appreciated our re-
marks on that subject, we now suggest
to them the propriety of converting at
this place on the FIRST SATURDAY
i'm JANUARY next, for the purpose
of selecting Delegates to represent US
in the Democratic State Convention,
to be holden at Jackson.
We trust that this suggestion will
meet the appreciation of the Demo-
Gratis of this County, and that all who
can conveniently do so, will attend.
