REMOVALS PROM OFFICE.

The Globe and kindred prints, are filling the
country with loud lamentations Of inqulsltlon and
prescription, because the administration Is deho'
erately reforming notorious delinquents out o.
the offices which they have abused. II would
seem as if the adherents of the two last admins
trations. and especially such hardened sinners
as Blair and CroswelI, whose savage cries for
the immolation Of victims for years past, haqe
edged the knife OF excelsior with ten fold keen
ness, would have been as silent as the grave
about removals from office. Ithas been the the
ory and constant practice of the fallen dynasty,
to sacrifice every office holder, whatever his mer-
il. who did not bow The knee. Even the scar
red vsterans of the revolution have been uncere-
moniously spu1ned from ,heir places, to make
room for those upon whose crouching obedience
thew could implicitly rely. Why should the
calumniators of Harrison, whose gathered stores
of abuss are even now exhausting upon his MEM
orv. the cringing minions of Jackson and Van
Buren who have so long courted the yoke, and
for years.iby active partizan services have help

lights of the nation, fune and futter about pro-
scr;ntion, when required to drink Of the bitter
cup which they have unrelentingly applied to
the lips of others, whose only cline was nom
conformity to their political creed. Nobody ev-
or lamented the fate of Haman, who dangled
from his own favorte gallows; nor are the pitIa'
BILE wailings of these men to be regarded with
much compassion, since they only show their
reluctance to receive the stripes which they
have administered with such hearty good will
to the backs of those of whose cruelty they now
complain. They are indeed in very awkward

GEN. HARRISON'S LAST LETTER.
On Saturday, hardy, weather bealen,
but very respectable looking seaman pre-
seuled himself to the Collector, at the
Custom House. and inquiring fr Mr..
Curtis, said, "Gen. Harrison told me to
give this letter iu,o your own hand. He
told me to give his kind respects to Mr..
Curtis, and said MIR. Curtis was his friend,
and would be my friend" Mr.. Curtis
opened the letter, and found j, tc be, from
its date, one ofthe last, if DO, the Gerry last
letter, written by Gen. Harrison. 1t bears
date Of tho day when his illness commenc-
ed The reader will see. from a perusal
of it, that amidst all the cares and troubles
Of his high position he was true to the hum
blesr of his old friends. Tucker says, the
General made him come 10 The dinner Ia
ble with the great folks, and when he hes
i,ated and iulimaled that he had better go
bclo,u for his dinner, the Genera. said.
Tucker. :" you aud have been shipmates
and a long time together. You are an
honest man; como and eat your dinner
with me, and come again tomorrow morn
ing aud get your breakfast with me-"
Tucker says the General invited him to
stay in Washington, and told him he would
take care of him, but his wife and children
being in New York. Tucker preferred to
return. He says General ii. followed him
into the grounds on the Fast side Of the
White House and then walked with him
arm aud arm-that the General had no
hat on, and when Tucker adverted to his
liability to take cold, he waivedlhe remark
by saying he was already unwelf. Hav-
Ing received the letter from the General.
Tucker says he followed him 10 the door
and shook him by the hand, saying, "so
to my friend Mr.. Curtis, and after you
have been to him, don't forget 10 write 10
me that you and your wife and children are
happy again."
Tucker says he had no money TO come
home by land, but be did moi let The Gene
raj know that, for be knew he would give
i, to him in a minute, and he did not wish
10 take money from the good old man who
had been so kind to him. And SO Tucker
went on board the schooner L. L. SlurgIs,
at Alexandria, and worked his passage
home to New York. When he came to
the custom house he had nol been ashore
thirty minutes, and having first heard the
sad news of the death of his kind benelac-
tor as he passed up the Old Slip dock. the
abundant tears that fell down his hardy
cheek, testified that his is no ungratelul
heart.
We are glad TO hear that Mr.. Curtis i'm

To Farmers and Plunters.-Did you
ever reflect, that our country must pay, IN
the products Of its own labor, for every
thing it buys from another country? Do
you not perceive, that it is your grain and
cotton and olher products sold abroad,
which pays for every gallon Of French
wines brought into this country!
Did you ever reflec, that, inasmuch as
other nations, also, have no means of pur-
chasing but the products of their own IN
dustry, if we buy nothing Of them they can
buy nothing Of US?
Do you NOT perceive, therefore. that
duty on French wines, which. by increas-
Ing the price, will diminish the quantity
consumed, and of course the quantity
bought in Franco, will impair, to the ex-
tent of that dminution, the foreign mar
kel for your own products!
Do you not see, that if the duty were
raised so high as TO put stop 10 the con-
sumption Of those wines, it would cut OFT
that part of your foreign market altogether! !!
Ought not proposition 10 increase the
duty on French wines 10 be considered and
called proposition 10 impair or destroy the
foreign market for the grain, cotton and
other products of American Farmers aud
Planters
And can such proposition have even a
shadow Of an apology in any prelence that
it is 10 create a market at home for these
products!
Farmers and Planters, reflect we'll on
this matter and let your conclusions be
known, fora new sci of Tarf-Tinkers arc
soon to assemble at Washington.-ken-
dars ErpoSitor.
The proposed duty on silks is subject 10
the same objections as that on wines, so
forciby condemned in The above remarks.
Those duties are so much in addition
be it remembered 10 the present burden OF
,axation.-They are not proposed in lieu
Of any present lax on articles of necessity.
They are an additional burden TO rich and
poor.

The Nary.-It has been 60 much the
custom Of late, for the laudabe purpose Oh
repressing the war which seemed to be rls-
ing among us. to trumpet our want OF
preparation, tha; perhaps it may be well
to give a small item on the other side. Our
present Navy comprises IS sail, including
eleven ships Of the line, one razee, and
fourteen AS. Then we have the frame
timbers contracted for and mostly in rea-
diDess,) Of Is ships Of the line, Is ffigates,
Is corvettes, 9 steamers and 8 brigs and
schooners, besides copper. iron. &C.
In no very long period, therefore, we
could go 10 sea with 26 heavy ships of the
line, SO frigales, only two Of them rating
less than 44 guns, 80 corvettes, dozen
steam ships, and suitable proportion of
smaller vessels. II half dozen frigaes
and few corvettes. could in the last war
maintain the country against the immense
Navy Of England, one would suppose that
The above mentioned force officered and
manned as it would be in the most efficient
manner, would give even England some
trouble. We are men Of peace and do not
wish to see any bloody experiments tried !;
but we earnestly hope lha, England will
not presume so much upon our weakness
and want Of preparation. From the ma
ture Of our institutions. which eschew a
standing army, we shall always be in a
sense unprepared, whenever war over
takes us; j. 9. we shall not have our war
harness OIL aud it will lake some little
time to get it on. But after receiving a
few hard knocks, il has been found hitherto
that we could give as good as we got. Our
population has doubled siuce The last war,
and our military resources (taking inlo
view our rail roads and canals) have been
qyadruplod.-N. Y. Jour. Of Com.
