There have been more removals from

months tina, the present admins tralion
have been in power than there were thro'-
out The whole period of any former adj
ministralion. Sill some of the federal
papers complain that the work OF "reiorm
has no, been as thorough as they had an~
,lcipa,ed;-t many democrats have been
allowed to retain their places. The pres
ent disastrous state oe their affairs is, by
some of the leading Wing journals, ascrl
bed to the lcnitv of the Executive, in not
hurting from his seat every Democratic
Office holder in the land. They forget the
c!anor that they formerly raised against
Gen. Jackson, for the judicious and spar
ing exercise Of the appointing power
They even went so far as to demand his
impeachment. They had no idea then
that they should ever have an opportunity
of using that power themselves. ard ,ho't
they were perfectly safe in their denunci
alions of General Jackson's proceedings.
Now that they have Unexpectedly blum
dered into power. there tune is changed.

and consuming annually upwards of one
million bushels of wheat, two millions rye

two millions OF merchandise. The coal
trade of Pennsylvania has been rapidly
increasing, and 10 1910 il is set down al

cited their astonishment, that al The very

the full frultion Of all our hopes and exer.

should so suddenly disregard all his former

best acquainted with his recularfics, all
this is a matter Of no surprise. Ii is only
the result Of his peculiar moral constitu

tor Of the Richmond Whig, who no doubt
has just appreciation Of his chaiacter:

himself Disappointed and neglected, es
soon as the party with which he has acted
succeeds to power and office. lmpetuous
in every thing, he must perpetually, even
in what Is right, pass beyond, into what
is mschieyous and wrong. His fiery
zeal has often done public service but it
is always perilous, because dlllicultto stop
Mt any safe point. Like fire, heis useful
as a servant, but terrible as a master; so
that few men have ever made such
figure, who were SO unfit for leading and
controlling part in public measures. In

Of the Statesman, Prudence, no man was
ever more deficient. To say all in a sim

confirmed by the statement of several gen.

by this extraordinary shower. is half a
mile in length, and about seventy five
yards in width. In addition TO the inior-
