THE GLOBE AND IT'S PRESCRIBED"
FRIENDS.

FRIENDS.
On Saturday the Globe published the name of
Michael w. Ash. Navy Agent at Philadelphia, as
one of the "proscrbed removed" Now there
are various ways of "removing" and being re-
moyedp First there is the being taken off" /
which leaves deep damnalion" Shakespeare
hath it. Then there s-the Taking off ones SELL
the act Of being removed" with exceeding rap |
diy by ones own'legs, us in the case OF Swart-
won't and many other valued and dear friends of
the Globe.
Tho removal of Mr. Ash not exactly of
this latter sort, but he took himself out of the
office by uouIuntary resignation on the eth of Jan
uary last leaving due to the Government only the
small sum of about $7S00-all of which has
been since puid save u slight baiance of something
over s., 900. And this we suppose will some day
be paid up as Mr. Asl's bondsmen, MIR. jeremiah
Beiril aud John Weaver, must of course be good,
and we presume Mr.. Ash 10 be an honest gentle
man. But though this is not a bad state of &C.
counts for loco in the public SERVICE in these
times, it still would be matter Of convenience,
we have no doubt to the Government, it these
little odds ard ends were all picked up and handed
over-they would come in play IN some way. by
the way will the Globe tell us how it is about
the "proscrjption" OF Gov. Findlay, late "treas-
urer of the Philadelphia Mint" Can we help
him to shed another tear upon that matter That
Udeialcition,e If we recollect right, was but a.
bout $4,000 and no bonds other troublesome
matter Of security abont it.-yNorth american.
Post Master al Rutland learn that the oil
garchy have appointed Col Jesse Cove postmas-
ter at Rutland in place oil r. Ormsbee, Esq
Spirit ofHe -.4ge.
Will Mr.. Eastman give the facts in this case, or
will he insist upon this instance TO swell as much
os possibe the catalogue of what he considersmdr
mrs 10 democracv? We will furnish him with the
facts and he may, if he chooses, act on the princ
pie of his party that 'all is fair in politics., and in
obedience to the old bellweatber, the Washington
Globe may maintain the lie to the last.
OF his own accord Mr.. Ormsbee one day
brought into the office of Col. Cove letter post
marked Washington remarkng that it was an
appointment Of him [G.] as post master The lat
Ter expressed his surprize OH finding such to be
the case not surprising any action would be had
thereon previous to the sitting of Congress, and
injured what might be the cause of such haste.
Mr. Ormshee replied, he supposed it was because
he had written to the department that a substitute
must be Immediately supplied or he should vocate
the office. We are pretty well persuaded in Rut-
land that is best to have post master in the Office,
and with Mr. Eastman's leave will recommend
whom we please to fill it, 1t would be difficult
to supply it with occupant of the same politics
as the last incumbent protested, for locos veiy
scarce animals in these diggins.
AS to the personal attack of your correspondent
on the private character ofthe postmaster we OF
course have nothing to do, thought is entitled to
no credit, considering the source from whence it
came.-Rutland Herald.
The Times. Why are not the times better ?"
ask the Locofocos. " Did you not promise us bet
ter times as soon Harrison should be elected ~
say they.
Well we promised to reform the Government,
10 stop the s9uandering of money, and to restore
public prosperity but we promised no miracles
We addressed men of sense, not fools The mis-
chiefs which the country suffers were brought or
by a series of bad measures, and can no more be
repaired in an instant than patient reduced al
,l,o Inv pkp
to vigorous health and strength in day. The
Van Buren, system is yet in full operation so far as
the laws are concerned. The subtreasury is tht
law of the land, and must remain SO until the meet
ing of Congress. The Locos denounce the Elk
ira Session as unnecessary they wish us to go OF
with the same experiment which has failed in thei
hands; with their sub Treasury their hardin ne
exactions OF duties their suspended State banks
their no currency and no tariff, and no natlona
bank and yet hold us responsible for not maxim
the times better We cannot do much under the
system. We must abandon it, aud return 10 IN
old one under which we formerly prospered. w
hope Congress will lose no time IN dong TIM
There can be no sound currency till it is done, an
until there is better currency, business cann
revive but partially. -Kpnnebec Journal.
From the Raleigh Register.
Reform. All accounts concur in stating, that
great and salutary change has taken place IN all
departments Of Government at Washington. IL
form was necessary, and this Administrator w
put in power for The especial purpose of accom-
fishing the great work, in which it is now enaggt
heart and soul. Under the late Administration,
was not only deemed no sin but the broad tur
pike to higher advancement, for Clerk to becon
the hero ola Street debate, and devote his iii
aud talents to the service of men, who came III
power by sacrifice of honor. Then, he wi
could write political essay for the Newspaper
filed with fulsome praise of the matchess abb
ties and immaculate purity of the Administrator
was considerd most accomplished public Office
But these things have now changed. We ha
taken new latitude and departure, and who nc
desires to gain and secure the confidence OF
public, must first do his duty TO the public.
Clerk is not now appointed TO figure in The Ne"
papers or to Draw! in the Streets he is appoint
to do the duties of his Office, and the duties of
office only. The motives of the President a
the Cabinet Officers may be sIandered, and tn
actions misrepresented; but poised their o'
rectitude ofsou and supported by The confidence
the nalion they will stand unframed by the v
]ence of the storm.
