he alone of the whole can make any near approach
10 independence. If there is one thing more than
another, which in this country gives man superb
oriy oven his fellow men, il is knowledge and this
Knowledge knowledge which is as essential TO the

We learn further that the Sunday Mails of the
West have been discontinued by an order from the
General Post Office Depart ment signed by Mr.. lilo
bic. And why cannot the same be done in Yer
mont? There exists 10 good reason why the mails
at the present time should be transported in this
st; to ON the Sabbath more than at The West. No
particular benefit is conferred upon any of our Cit
shy this desecration of the Sabbath; and were
it not an open transgression of the law of God,
there good reasons for their disconlinuanc e.
The day of rest, much needed for the purpose OF
rest by those engaged in the transportation serv
and their teams, is disturbed, and many people in
convenienced thereby, who would feel it Il privll
age to attend public worship. And it is doing an
injury TO the moral feelings Of our people to violate
the day in such manner. 1t is contrary to the ge
MUS Of our democracy and Of the times; and were
the people ufVermont called upon to express their
wishes upon the subject, three fourths Of them

PRESIDENTS HOUSE OGLE's SPEECH.

Eight DAYS previous to the expiration of Van Blu
rens Administration, and eight before Gen liarr
son came into Office, Congress passed the Appro
priation Bill, among he items Of which is an af
prop ration of $4,000 for furniture for the Presi
dents House and the Bill was duly signed by Mr.
Van Buren, ON the of Feb. So the approprin
lion was made by Van Buren, Congfcss aud ap
proved by the chief Of the party, Van Buren, him
self The locos have much to say of this subject
and very dishonesty, call it the beginning Of liar
rison Refora, when they well know that iiar
rlso had nothing to do with the matter ror his
friends.
1t may he uue as many believe that this apPto
priation was made by the Vaniies merely to cover
up their former extravaganza, by trying to make il
appear thai, the Presidents House not too well
furnished before, or it may possibly be, that Van
Buren, spent much money for bright dinner diSh
es, anne cooiers Fanny Ke1ndte finger glasses and
artificial foaocrs, and other ornaments, that com
mou and plain furniture may he needed. The loco
ocos may take either horn OF the dilemma-lhat
the late appropriation is mere sham, or that Mat
~ expended an extravagant amount of money for
unnecessary aud ornamental articles, and thus eav
ing present wan, Of household furniture Let it
be as it may there is get OFF for the party Not
an item oil any moment in Ogle's speech has been
shown to be incorrect-He furnished the evidence
to sustain his charges
The Waterman speaks as follows upon this sub
ject
The Presidents House The Iocofoco presses
are cracking their cheeks in yelling abont an ap
preparation of $4,000 for ''paace flrniture,' and
publishing, with great gusto, letter from Charles
holland, commissioner OF public buildings, specify
ing the articles which he declares are "necessury tn
make the house oomfortaJle," We have looked
over the list and find carpets, chairs, centre tables,
wash stands, bedsteads and bedding, crockery,
stoves and lamps wanting in abundance--bu there
is not ono item for 'ctne co0ters-nay, not one for
artificial jaoucers. Now beg leave to remind
the ocos that the fact that the commissioner of the
public buildings (who was commissioner under Van
Buren, represents the large expenditure for beds
and bedding, and what, for that house, is common
and appropriate furniture, to be necessary, most
strongly proves the justice ofthe complaint that the
late administration had spen, money for unnecesSa
vy articles. Else how is IT., that after an xpendi
tre Of 500 900 since 1920, 1t is necessary furnish
this large quantity of chamber and kitchen furnit
ure? We have now ethng further to suggest,
10 wit: approPr iation is no, expenditure, nor
is the list Of the commissioner always obligatory
upon the President. Let the locos wait and see
what Is actually purchased. lfthen there is Just
cause for complaint let them lay it on with all
their might. Until then, complaint will come with
bad grace from those who have concealed or de
MED the expenditures on the white house under

NEW APPOINTMENTS.

As vet tho President has removed but few Office
holders und none have been removed without
good cause, and there will be removals without
such cause. Yet unfortunately for him-and il
has been extremely so for the country-too many
of the officers under Van Buren, are men destitute
of integrity, and deiaulters-men who were APP
pointed merely because they were brawling pArti.
znns, and ready tools for any service. All such
not now displaced, will be when the proper evil
dence is obtained. And thus it should be. No
office holder who has not overstepped his duty need
fear of being turned out. Harrison is not the man
for that.
The appointments thus far have been principal y
to fl! vacancies. And about the only exceptions
to this remark is the removal OF custom house Off
GERS in Maine. Here good reasons for remov
ing-for these men had committed the grossest ou
RACES upon decency-had VIGOROUSLY devoted a
greater part 1T their limo to elcconeering, and US
ed the property of The Government to further theil
,ends. And promptly have they received their de
serts.
Gen, Harrison has repeatedly re.nppointed Van
Buren, men to Office whose terms of Office had ex>
PRED; where lie had discovered capacity and hon.
esty he has retained them in the service of the
country.
