The cry Of prescription raised by the Globe and its
allies, at every removal from Office, is very
ing. Their sensibilities not keenly excited
for the unfortunate Wings who proscrihed' by
ffties and hundreds, daily, during the first three
months Of the Jackson Administration. There is
sincerity however, in these appeals to public feeling
They made only to deter the administration
in its work of reform, while their authors admit in
their hearts the business of the policy, and laugh in
their sleeves at its effects. The object is an mpor
tant one which, if attained will restore the Locoocos
to power at the next Presidential term It is to in
duce the administration to keep in Office who
may be used TO destroy il, and who will be the Guy
Fawkes Of conspiracy Of holders whose secret
counsels and midnight plots will be employed in pre-
pairing the to overthrow their too ndugent OPP
ponents. Thousands of men, true friends to their
country, have been beggared by the insane policy of
the late administration. The oiceholders alone
tanned them, by the public money, their individual eff
forts, and the influence of their Offices when the voice
of the suffering and disnterested portion of the peo-
pie was against them. Every was drawn into the
vortex of politics, and many persons, whose zeal for
the Constitution and the interests of the country,
caused them, in the fervor of the moment to forget
themselves at the end of the contest ruined or great
distress. This is the character of majority of the
applicants for Office and it endurabe that they shall
be scocd at and rdiculed by the incumbents of office
who sit their soft cushions and laugh at those whom
they and their confederates have ruined Every man
should be removed from office who engaged in the late
struggle of power against popular rights the adm-
nistration will be embarrassed at every STEP and all
its power to do good rendered imperative In this
city the Locofocos carried their vindictive hatred to
the Wings far to turn out epen female teachers
in the public schools because their relations Wigs,
and in the district corporations the ,cachmen,
street commissioners and searengers have been put to
the test and the least signs of Whgism punished by
deprivation of their employments. Recently they
have introduced the internal spirit into the drec
ton of the schools so that the Of edu-
cation has fallen into the keeping of set of gnora-
muses. and political Adventures. And these men i'm
pudently cry out "proscrptionl"
j. Ingersoll has, o-day, published letter 10 his
constituents, protesting great regard for their interests,
and inviting them 10 communicate to him any perso-
nal or political views, and to call on him at any time
at Forrest Hill" " where he will always be happy to
see them" Mr. Ingersoll is man Of abilities, but
trucking politician ambitious of money and no
toriety, than of subscribing the public interests In
Congress he will be petuant wrangler, and great
bore, and will do the Loco-focos more harm than
good.
The Governor has again lifted his Nubian club
the veto-against the Legislature. He has negatiyed
bill granting the right of election of certain officers
in Lancaster county, to the people. He threatens also
to veto the new Bank bill. Heproposcs nothing, and
destroys all the good done by the Legislature
singular fatality seems to attend the trial Of Ed
ridge. On the commencement of his new trial an err
in making up the panel caused considerable DELAY
and now again juror having fallen sick the trial is
necessarily deferred some days. Occasionally the
counsel fall SICK and the trial has been dragging
its slow length along for near six months.
Stocks remain without much cEangc-U. s. from
IL to l9-Girard from 20 to 30, sc.
A man was recently acquitted of murder in Rhode
Island, on the ground Of deiirium tremens. Nextwe
may expect to hear Of an acqutal for error of jug
| ment.
