Il was our opinion, while Mr.. Van
Buren, was in power that office was du-
W, not privilege. Such was intended
tn be the nature of office in the Republic.
Our opinion is unchanged. In monarch
ical governments, where power is .heredi-
tary. ant, permanently placed in the hands
of few. posts of honor are generally
posts of pecuniary profit, and the occu-
pancy of such places becomes matter
Of general ambition. In popular govern
ments, based on the democratic principle
of equal rights aud equal justice, places
of great power, or of great emoluinent
must necessarily be limited, aud the
whole plan by which the government is
conducted is intended 10 correspond as
nearly as practicable with that eqality of
condition which It'll the business ofour
forms and laws TO. recure. When,I there

it general press for Office from every
class i'll the community, it is natural to
suspect that something must be wrong.
