A PLAN OF UNIVERSAL PROSCRlP
TION.

lICNs
The following cheering announcement
cheering 10 those patriotic wings who have
begna TO feel the sickness of hope long dc.
ferred-we copy from the. Madisonian OF
Friday last. 1t contains the gratifying as
surance that the subordinate officers in every
branch of Government will be prescribed
in fact that the process of prescription Is
now going on as fast rs the nature OF the
cast will admit. Though of this we have sufi-
Gent proofs without the assertion of the Madi-
sonian-that it requires just "half an"hour"
Ito decapitats a democratic postmaster and
appoint: his assessor-and tast, 6eyotins ten
hours each day 1--WE are glad the postmaster
general sanctions the ten hour system) TO
the work of prescription, IT will be Just six
hundred and fifty days before every demo-
cratic postmaster in the United States is re-
moved! We cannot help thinking with the
Madisonian that the office-seekers who are
not satisfied with this plan Of action 'upcn
the matter of removals and appointlnents,'
must be stoo impatient and unreasonable"
hut still there is an excuse for the creatures
they feel that theistime is short. and they
are DESTROYS of improving it in TIE most prof.
liable manner. But we Will no longer keep
the reader from the government manifesto
here it is:-Glcbe.
The uorld uds not made in a ddy."--It
appears to us that many people are TOO impa-
tent and unreasonable in their expectations
and demands Of Immediate action by the
President and heads of Department, upon
the matter of removals and appointment
Take the case Of the Post Master General:
There are some thirteen thousand Post
masters in the U. S. No man will contend
that less time than hGlf an kour should be
devoted to the consideration OF the case Of
carh whose removal is proposed.
Now suppose that the p. NJ. General neg
lect all lis other and i'm por!ant duties, and
devotes ten hours each day to tie consld-
Grafton Of removals and appointments.
According to our "cyphering,' The matter
will stand thus: Thirteen thousand cases--
each requiring half m hour, make $50 days.
The number of appointments to be consid-
cred by the other Departments is also very
great, and they arc often Of immense cen
sequence. and Of no little difficulty.
