 Mfr Adams-Can yon tell us whether there is any
 
 ter of your village or have the applicants given il up ss bad job The creed of "the party" used to be ro,a ton in office" but we do not like such ro. taon as there has been in that office for the last for ty years; and should like to know. whether We are 10 expect change. or is it to remain where il is l the next generation are old enough to "rotate" into his place?
 We live go far from the city. tha, we do not keep up with the news of the day-herefore apply 10 you for information. NORTH FARMS.
 We really wish we could give our correspondent some information upon the subject Of our Post office but we cannot. We know not that any thing is do- ing, or likely to be done. When we entered upon the campaigns agains, Gen. Jackson, and more par. ticuary against MT. Van Buren. supposed that if we succeeded in busting them. we should also sue. ceed in dspacing large portion of their supporters and those who held important offices under them- The President ,Das displaced, and 90 were the heads of the departments, and also large number of the Members of Congress, and better men, as we con. ceived, put in their placer. But here it seems, to great extent, the "reform" to stop. Those who had succeeded in obtaining the big offices. which of course were comparatively few, and had the dispen. s;ng of ,be smaller ones now disposed 10 rest from their active labors and leave the multitude ol small office.-from fifty to five hundred dollars where they found shem. We do trust, however, that
 better state of things will soon exis-that reforms more thorough and general than have yet been bro't about. win be made-that .. :sas. majority of the offices m the gift of the general government will be given to the friends and supporters of the dominant party. We trust .ha, this county and is topn. will receive little more renovation than they have yet
