ABOUT REMOVALS.

The enemies OF the PRESIDENT sun keep up
the desperate game of misrepresentation and
SANDER. They enjoy the present qualification
arising from such course; he will be fully
compensated by triumphant vindication here
after. The issue will be truth and justice
against abuse and calumny.
In making removals, we have every reason to
be convinced that the President will be actuated
solely by sense of duty to his country, rather
than the ignoble spirit of retaliation. 1t will be-
matter of conscience, rather than feeling.
That many removals will be made, is now
confidently expected by all who have observed
the course of the Administration and clearly
perceive its aim. The first is calculated and
designed TO tear up by the roots the noxious
weeds Of party fanaticsm which have been so
seduously cultivated by the demagogues and
desructives throughout the land the last is
simply 10 restore the country to its wonted pros
peri " which can only be attained by pursuing
the simple path marked out by our Republican
fathers Therefore, the President must carry
the reforming knife into all the ramifcations Of
Government.
For many years past, the country has been
divided into distinct party organizations. These
organizations neither felt nor entertained com
mon and harmonious interest in the great mea-
sures Of the day. In this respect they resem-
bed rival nations. Thus the country was d.
vided against itself, and that, too, merely to gra
tify the ambition and caprice of the designing
leaders who were instrumental in thus arraying
brother against brother. The lamentabe result
which has followed most signaly verifes the
truth Of the old adage, ga house divided
against itself must fall" Have we not fallen
Is not our country prostrate2 Have not our
calamities all been brought upon us by the dis
honest politicians
Hereafter, let us have patriots instead Of po-
liticans. But to break up the band of dema-
gogues, It is necessary to tear up their dens and
destroy their young in the shell. Ultra leaders
have been too long and too extensively encour-
aged by Presidents. They have had most of
the offices in the country placed al their disposal,
and of course they have been bestowed on the
creatures Of their will. Thus has the country
been imposed on. Every motive of the politi-
clan has been sel6sh-no thought has been given
to the country. The People have been drilled to
exhaustion by demagogues, and the country al
most bored to death by partisan commanders.
II is the Presidents intention TO change these
things
There will doubtless be many, very many re-
moyals made during the year But there will
be no prescription. The guilty alone have
cause TO tremble. The innocent, we doubt not,
will be entirely secure, whether appointed by
Harrison, Van Buren,, or Jackson. Therefore,
if any high-minded, patriotic otfice-holder has
given heed to the vile Misrepresentation Of the
Clay press, we earnestly desire to dsabuse his
mind. Those in Office whether 10 the enjoy
ment OF exalted or subordinate stations, who
love THEN country more than partisan leaders
who will not contribute to sustain the unprinci-
pied demagogues who war against any men and
measures, regardless of their merits, when a
selfish end may be gained-who will, as be-
comes American citizens on all proper occa-
sions and at all proper times, (as men, by their
votes, not o0icers, by bribery,) extend their aid
in conducting the Government back into the
simple old track marked out by the trainers of
the Constitution, in which it was designed to
run, and to depart from which must in the end
prove fatal to its existence-in short, all honest
and capable officers who shall prefer to dis
charge their duty to their country, rather than
TO pay ieaty to self-consttuted political demi-
gods, may, zoe think, feel perfectly secure IN
their places, as long as John Tyler is Presi-
dent Of the United States. We will take oc-
cason TO resume the subject.
