POSTMASTER AT RUTLAND.

We learn that the OLiGARCHY have appoint
ed Col. JESSE COVE postmaster at Rutland in the
place of II. ]. ORMsBEE, Esq.
How appropriately the Col. is made one of the
watch-dogs of the Oligarchy, our readers can Judge
by few quotations which we make from letter
of our Rutland correspondent, bearing date, July
10, 1910,
= How are the facts Was the Col. in
the days of Jefferson, a democrat? No. He WAS
IN THE DAYS OF JEFFERSON AND MADISON,
AS HE IS NOW, A FEDERALIST yea one of
of the most BITTER REVILERS OF JEFFER-
son, AND AN UNCOMPROMISlNG OPPO-
NENT OF MADISON AND HIS WAR MEAS
URES."
"But again ask who is this valiant democratic
Col? Is HE NOT THE SAME MAN WHO COM
MANDEp A COMPANY OF MILITIA IN EAST
RUTLAND DURING THE LAST WAR, AND
WHEN A PROPOSITION WAS MADE BY GER
TAIN CAPTAIN -, WHO COMMANDED A
COMPANY IN THE VICINITY, TO VOLUNTEER
TO GO TO PLATTsBURGH AND ASSIST IN ITS
DEFENCE AGAINST THE ATTACKS OF THE
BRITIsH FORCES, REPLIED, ct Il Ours
ED DEMOCRATIC WAR, AND YOU MAY
DO YOUR OWN FlGHTINGn"
But, there are some other traits Of character
which render the new watchdog Of the Oigarchy,
somewhat notorious and peculiarly fit him for the
station he occupies, Do any of the good people
of Rutland county remember transaction of his,
in which he ATTEMPTED TO ABSORB,
EXTORT, BY EXIIORBlTANT FEES THE
WHOLE OF THE PENSION OF A WIDOW
OF A REVOLUTlONARY SOLDIER, Mrs Bnck,
of Pi,tslord' Does any body remember his con-
duet in suit tried in this CO., Hutchinson 4. Ken
dali, where Cove acknowledged ihat he had kept
in his possession for twenty years, private letter
which he knew to be the property of another, and
which he saii was accidentally found by another
individual, but which, no body doubts he came in
possession of by other and much more qucslona-
bic means and do not all the people know that
Cove left the stand in that cuse in the opinion OF
both plrles, man, us unprinclped as any that
ever disuaced the witness box A fl, tool is
this man Il fit tool for Robcsperc Aye, yes,
A man who attempts, by eX,orton, TO steal the

and wilhhuds, private papers from their rishtIul

Il it, proper, and no doubt will prove IL useful

THE SECOND VOLUME.

This number of the .7ye commences the second
volume Our success has been as good as could
have been expected under the circumstances, and
we shall enter upon the second volume with pretty
good heat.
Those of our friends who live in this county, and
who feel particularly interested in the success of
the paper, will understand that promp, payment is
what we must expect of them. We have incurred
heavy expenses, TO make the paper what it has
been, and we shall expect them 10 pay for the first
volume Immediately. 1t is the best way for those
who have paid for the first volume, to pay for the
second in advance, and those who have not paid
for The first, to pay for the two at the same time
When The year is up, will call and settle, is not
so well to say will pay when the year begins, is
the better way to talk. We arc compelled to hire
money to carry on the establishment, and we can
not lend out in small sans for year without, in
terest. We cant afford it. Further, our friends
must not wait to be dunned, They must send in
their dues, at the first opportunity. Save ont II
$50 to pny for the .1ge, pay for it at the COM
llenceheht ol lne year, ana llen II Is over WIN,
and we have the money to use.
Those of our patrons who live out Of the county
in remote parts of the state, may consider them
selves dunncd when their bills are presented,
IT, We shall send prospectus of the second
volume 10 our friends in the county and state. mud
earnestly call upon them 10 do what they may
think proper, for our benefit. The Age is afforded
extremely cheap, and we slall spare no pains to
make it Il worthy paper
.Lj'lt Is necessary 10 say that the ,ransporta-
ton Of the ,lgc out Of the mall is in all cases at
the expense Of the subscribers. We cannot afford 10
pny lhr transportation, nearly as much one-half
what the paper isworlh. People who wish US to
see their packages sent by carriers, and pay the
transportation ourselves, can lie accommodating
but they must ply Us, what and when we pay the
carriers We are compelled to adopt this course.
Subscribers can make an arrangement with the
drivers, by which their papers will be received reg
ularIy, and the cost among sixty or seventy, will
be nearly nothing, but falling upon us, would ea,
up our mcasre profits pretty f's', aud in II few

days Of guilIoiincs and GIrondisls lie sccAs. to
owe the Granite Boys II peculiar spite, aud the
way he kuiIes the good people of his native Stale
is, we presume, soothing to his malignan, and re-
yengcrul spuh JAnEz \. DoUGLAss, Post
muster at Hanover, has felt the knilt's edge. "Mr
D." says the paper, neutral in politics, published
in that place. " has discharged the duties Of Post
master in this village for the last twelve Yeas, with
honor fidelity, and we have no hesitation in say
ins, with general satisfaction"
Thi, is undoubtedly true. Let us look at the
rule Webster ordered Tyler TO lay down, upon the
subject Of removals from office:
al will remove no incumbent from Office who
has faithfully and honestly acquitted himself Of the
duties # his uic. except in such cases where such
officer his been guilty of an active parri@anship, or
hy secret means-ihc less manly. and therefore the
more oil eclonuble-has given his official influence
10 the purposes of party. Thereby bringing The pa
tronngr Of the Government in conflict with the
freedom Of elections '-Tyicr's Inaugural
II is scarcely necessary to say that this rule has
not the slightest application to Mr. Douglass lie
attended to the duties Of his Office strictly and rig
idly. He il honest, capable and has been fiihful
to the constitution. lie has been such an officer
as Jefferson woud have approved, us any man but
Webster would approve. For what, then, was Mr.
Douglass rcmovcd' For o2iriop's sahel And.

ground on which The Premier himself had again and
again, and for years, denounced it 1t is lnpos-
sbe that General Harrison, in health, could have
forgotten Mr. Webser's solemny announced oppo-
sirion to removals from office on constitutional
grounds; and how naturally did this grave obiec-
lion press itself upon his mind when preyed upon
by the engrossing subject And how naturally
would it eXort from his almost palSied tongue, the
cxpostulaing expression; "Sir, cish you 10 I'M
derstand the true principles Of the Constitution

We have something more to say in reply to the
Cabinet denial; but want Of time compels us tc

HYPOCRISY.

But few years ago Levi Lincoln said " Bu,
upon every change in the head of the executive
department, 10 sweep through the land with a be-
som of removal ;-to make the personal support
Of the successful candidate a sufficient ground for
appoinncnl---and an honest preference for de-
feated cOnfelMor forfeiture Of favor, i. 10 corr
rUp! the purity Of elections by the BRIDES Of

THURSDAY MORNING, FEB. II
Election of County Officers.

Our readers, have seen noticed, in the Legisla.
tive record, the different stages of the bill "to
give the election Of certain County Officers to
the people" 1t lis now pretty certain that the bill
must either pass and become law, or be referred
TO the people for their decision at the next Sep.
tenlber election. 1t lis a matter, involving in its
operations, considerations of no small impor-
tance, and should therefore, be carefully weighed
in its various bearings, by those who bear rule,
before final action is taken thereon.
That some Of the county officers should be
elected by the people, is clear in our mind that
all should be so elected, we have our doubts.
We think the same arguments, which conclusive
ly show that our Judges should not be elective
officers, prove also, that County Commissioners
should not be elective officers; and perhaps the
Clerks of Judicial Courts might with much pro-
priety be included.
In Massachusetts,, if we recollect rightly,
commissioners have been chosen for some years
cd of selecting them. In several instances, such
has been the operation of the plan, that several
trials have been found necessary before a choice
could be made. Local prejudices have operated
in every section Of countless in bringing INTO the
field great many sets of candidates, and thus
divisions, strife, jealousy and heartburnings have
been created, which could not have grown out of
the old system, and which it has been found ex-
cecdingly difficult to heal.
In the very nature Of Things, we apprehend that
such must be the tendency of similar change
in this State especially so far as relates to Coun-
ty Commissioners In respect to Clerks of Courts,
Registers of Probate, and Sheriiis the same OBJ
jections would not apply. In perhaps every
County in the State, there are already naturally
existing, local divisions and difficulties enough,
without creating new ones, which might better
be avoided.
The three last named functionaries-or at least
the last two might very properly and ought without
unnecessary delay, to be made elective by the
people. But even here, we think it would be
quite as democratic, to refer the question to the
people, for final decision. However, this last
proposition is not al-important, the people
will not be obliged to keep the power if it should
be returned to their hands. They can, at any
time, give it back again to the Governor and
Council.

BY MRS LYDIA II. sIGoURhEY.
And didst thou bear this relic here
From France, where genial sunbeams shin'
Where ripen'd d, sweet, thine early bloom,
Thou fairest flower of Stuarts line'
And say, at twilight's dusky hour,
Did shadowy wings around 1t glide,
And imag'd forms of lost delight
Fit mournful DER its fretted SIDE
But did its light grow dim and cold,
Amid the realm so drear and lone,
Whose ruthless manners unrehned,
So i'll interpreted thine own
An, were thy errors all resolvd,
To their first elemental fount,
Would not thy dark and evil times
Share deeply in their dire amount'
We may not say, we only know
Their record rests with Him on high,
Who iudgeth not like finite man,
With partial, or vndictive eye.
I've stood upon the castle height
Where green Carlisle her turrets rcars,
And muse upon the prison cell,
Thy fallen hopes, thy captive tears.
When from Lochlevens guarded fosse,
From Langsdes stormy gleam of bliss,
Thou threw st thyself on woman s faltn,
On kindred blood-for this for this
I've mark d along the curded moat
Thy stinted walk, mid soldiers grim,
And dreamd thine echoed footsteps still,
Game minglng with thy vesper hymn.
Yet, naught mid all storied lore
Hath brought thee to my soul SO near
AS every household vestage slight,
Old Holyrood doth treasure here.
The chair of state, thy couch of rest,
Too oft, perchance, of wakeful woe,
The classic arras coarsely wrought,
The walls where ancient pictures glow,
The work box, whence thy tasteful hand
Drew forth the embroidery rich and rare,
And in that quiet toll forget
The ranking thorns of regal care;
The basket, where thy infants robes,
With blush of kindling pride were PLACID
As warm thy raptur'd bosom drank
The Joys that none but mothers taste;
Thy closet nook, thine evening board,
Rude Darnley's armour scatter'd nigh,
Fierce Ruthvens hoars, ly murderous shout,
And Rizzos shrlll, imploring cry.
Thy pangs, thy faults, thy fearful doom,
Come thronging back with magic power,
AHd wake the plying tear for thee,
Old Scotia's bright and slnitten flower.
