The cry of prescription raised by the Globe and its
allies at every removal from office, is very
ing. Their sensibtes were not SO kecnly excited
for the unfortunate Wings who "proscrbed" by
fifties and hundreds daily, during the first three
months of the Jackson Administration. There is
sincerity, however, in these appeals to public feeling
They are 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 the Locoocos
to power at the next Presidential term 1t is TO in
duce the administration to keep in office men who
may be used TO destroy it, and who will be the Guy
Fawkes of conspiracy of Office holders whose secret
counses and midnight plots will be employed in pre-
pairing the means to overthrow their too inJugen OPP
ponents. Thousands Of men, true friends to their
country, have been beggared by the insane policy of
the late administration The office holders alone
tanned them by the public money, their individual eff
forts and the influence of their Offices when the voice
of the suffering and dsintecsed portion Of the pco-
pie was against them. Every drawn into the
vortex Of politics. and many persons whose zeal for
the Constitution and the interests of the country,

distress. This is the character of n majority of tho
applicants for Office and is it endurabe that they shall
be scoed at, and ridculed by the ncumbcns Of Office
who sit on their soft cushions and laugh those whom
they and their confederates have ruined Every man
should be removed from Office who ,ged in the late
struggle Of power against popular rights, the admi
nlstration will be embarrassed at every step and all
its power TO do good rendered imperative In this
city the Loco focos carried their vindctive hatred to
the Wings so far TO turn out female teachers
in the public schools because their relations were Whirs
and in the district corporations even the qeaichmen
street commissioners and scdrengers have been put to
the test, and the least signs Of Whigsm punished by
deprivation of their employments Recently they
have introduced the internal spirit into the drec
ton of the common schools, that the of eu-
