"There is no pressure which any honest man ought

The Globe has the whole of page filled up with
the names, in large type and wide spaces, Of newly
appointed officers, by way Of showing, we presume
how exceently we'll our new Administration, SO far
as it has gone, has prescribed prescription" Under
the head Of prescribed" it includes some who are
dead, some who have resigned, and some who though
yet In Office, 1t fears it subjects for removal.
If the rule laid down in the "Circuar" issued some
time ago in regard to the of removal recognised
by Gen. Harrison's Administration, is to DO rigidly
enforced, the Globe will do well to enlarge its sheet
and use smaller type for many Office holders under

secretly, in electioneerng negectng their official du
ties, and others in defraudng the Government out of
large sums, or aiding and abettng those who
doing assisting to conceal these frauds from the
people, that their name is LEGION
We take this opportunity to say, that we know OF

cause well :erained exist and we are well salts

his Cabinet wish, will consent TO the removal Of

FULLY, and not nterfered improperly in the politics o
the country. But almost every man holding office
high low, has been engaged in the outrageous ant
hitherto too successful attempt to gag the honest
preston oflhe will Of the people, making of the
offices, and The money of the people, Of their own
salaries to corrupt the purity of elections and to retain
themselves in office.
The People require their removal, and will not be
satisfied unless it is rigdly accomplished.

on foot to relieve the country, and this to him is
great subject of alarm.
One part Of this plan, he thinks, is National
Bank. sDebts and banks" Amos says, "goto-
gelher. Banks create debts, and debts create
banks" Or, as the boy wrote down in his task
for his schoolmaster: "Lying is a great sin,
Therefore, drunkenness ought TO be avoided"
National Bank, we know, is great sore TO
Amos and his friends, and they may be excused
for being little morbid on the subject.
Amos thinks we are about TO become nation
is nothing more or less than an incipient prison
house. This last idea doubtless was suggested
by the caricature representing Martin Van Blu
rem caught in log cabin, one end of which the
Republicans had set upon a figure four, with
barrel Of hard cider underneath, which tempted
so many thirsty loco-focos to crawl under for
drink, that they sprung it, and caught Mr.. Van
Buren,. General Jackson having heard OF his
successors troubles, came to his aid with bag
of Cotton for a fulcrum, hickory pole for a le-
ver and worked away with all his freight, but
only succeeded in starting up one corner, just
enough for rat to get out. Van Buren's head
was to be seen at the grated window, with his
finger pointing to the door way, which, it appear
ed, was banked up by an avalanche Of CLAY.
This, doubtless, is the origin of Amos's vision
of the Log Cabin prison. We don't wonder
Amos estimates the cost of every loco-foco vote
bought over to the Republicans the last Presi-
Dental campaign at $50, the aggregate of which
the majority having been, 1--we believe, lao, 900
was of course between four and five million of
dollars. Unless loco focos can be bought up at
cheaper rate, Amos thinks National Bank will
be indispensable 10 the Republicans to carry on
this trade in another form, and that nothing can
no wpreventit "but peal of popular thunder"
This, he thinks, would Brighten and deter them.
Amos becomes quite frantic. He says, sit is
enough to crush our mountains, dry up the foun-
tans of our rivers, and blast our fields and pas
lures with the barrenness of Sahara p Ire
mendous !"s
"Farmers of the North and West" he cries,
"planters Of the South Would you like to
see il 2"
But finally, Amos gives warning, that all these
measures will be pronounced and treated as I'M
constitutional and void Of obligation The peo-
pie will cast them off.
"Mercful Godn Amos exclaims, in view Of
the prospect before him. 1t is, indeed, to him,
quite tremendous"
Nevertheless, Amos be patient for little sea-
son, and let us try. 1t is true, you out of Of
flee just now, and we are almost inclined to SYM
pathise. But if you cheer up, and live long
enough, your turn may possibly come round
again.
