The removal of this veteran Democrat from The post
Of Governor of Iowa, without the assignment of any
earthly reason, only be attributed 10 the policy Of
correcting the Territories before they become States
Iowa is Democratic. In all her relations she proves
herself to be true and Democratic Territory. This
was bad news for the Federalists, and therefore
change of political character TO be effected pos
sbe. TO make the change, the first thing to be done
was to turn out every Democrat in Office and subst
tute Federal eectoneerers their places. To this
policy the dsmission of Gov. Lucas owing, and
to this policy both the other Governors of Terrific
res were sacrificed. Three Governors of Territories
removed at once in the short space of few weeks
and that by who had proscribed prescription.
Certainly MIR. Preston made a mistake. lie must
have meant that prescription prescribed instead Of
pro.scribed for il certainly has been administered
scrpon by the Federal doctors, and that in heavy
doses in rapid succession Three Governors in month";

ders upon the government and for what? Upon the
pretext Of interfering in the elections where every
body knows that the Territories have no vote in the
Federal eectons-no vote for President Vice Pres-
dent-no vote even for their Governors, Secre-
taries or Marshns This fact alone shows that turning
out Governors of Territories and territorial officers,
this ground, mere pretext too shallow and ridiculous
to deceive the most ignorant but another consdera-
ton, equally conclusive presents itself to prove the
same thing; and that is that the most brawling unprn
cple and notorious eectoneeers among the Federasts
are the only put in the places of those removed
The good men of their party are not put in. The
worthy men who stay at home are not put in; the
brawng electioneerer who makes pilgrimage to
Washington to demand reward for the wear and
tear of body, soul and purse in eectoneerng is the
only one who is put in. Thus Democrat is turned
out of Office upon charge of electioneering aud a
Federalis is put in REGARD for electoneerng;-
and this mockery and insult of justice is carried so
far to turn out the officers of the Territories for
electioneering where there Federal elections
held
Gov. Lucas is one Of the victims of this Federal po
Icy, and the object clearly is fill the Territory with
Federals and to change the politics Of the people be-

THE CoILEcroR.-If the public were not satisfied OF
the unftness, through age, inhrmy other causes,
of Mr. Roberts to fill the Office of Collector Of the port
of Philadelphia from the appointments made by him,
his card, in explanation of them, published in the In
