ING OF those Who hold oiice under the Admin'strl-
iion Of President Tyler. \ more unreasonable set .
of men cannot be found under the canopy of llea-
ven. To-day they assail MIR Tyler tor keeping loco
focos in otice-io-morrow they abuse him for re
moving wh.gs-and the next day IT rank treason
for a Wig to hold any appointment from the Exec
utive. They seem TO have adopted system Of Pc
htcal ethics which, however Construed, is TO
rebound the dscredt Of the Admin istration; and
il is perfectly mma;eria what way !; moves. or how
il operatcs there are treas n" and traitors IN
the camp. We have watched the singular course
of those editors for the last year or eighteen months
and admired the zeal and ability with which they
labor weaken and disrupt the wing party Of elt.
The retiring members Of the Cabinet left Office IN
passlon-as Mr.. Webster says, without any Just
cause IN his oplnion-and from that day to this, 1t
has been the chief object of few party leaders To
induce every whg to follow their example. Like
the fox the fable, they had their tails cut of
by accident, and II would be glorious stroke OF
policy, now, If they could persuade the balance OF
the tribe also To razee their " fair proportions, by
4 voluntary outrage on theft persons. rs 4 matter
of taste, we hope every whig-whether OF the Clay
Tyler Mclean Scott school-will be allowed TO
indulge his own opinions about accepting or retain
ing office under this any other Administrations
We are net unapprized CT tic reasons fer this As

His pilgrimage to that city not happening to meet
its appropriate reward-or rather, hGuIHg met It's
appropriate reward-he is SAID to have threatened
the Commissioner of the Land Office with ms DIR
dispeasure, aud the Indiana Journal was expected

Col Blake. We knew the able proprietor OF
that paper would not lend himself to the base pur-
poses of the oice-huntng quack, or become sponsor
for the spleen of the articles but his pride, as the
editor of free and independent press would be APP
pealed to- and in that case il must have been diii-
cult To res ST the insertion of article claiming TO
investigate the conduct OF a public officer ms

the first time he has sought do injustice To Col.
