REMOVALS.

If we were called upon to define the height of
mpudence," should unhesitatingly point to the
complaints of the Loco Focos and Wings, whenever
any of those parties Is expelled from Office UNI
der the General Government, is suffered to retire
the walks of private life, by the non-renewal Of
his commission
The known and open principle of these two par
ties, proclaimed boldly by their eminent leaders,
Martin Van Buren, and Henry Clay is, in relation to
public office, quarter, quarter. II he is not OF
US, say they, he is against and forthwith
the incumbent is desired, IN elegant parance, TO
" walk Spanish" So far, good and we applaud
them for holding such principle. 1t is a conserva-
tive principle and enables the party IN power actng
upon it, TO stand up to their rack" firmly to take
the responsibility Of Government, with some hope
and prospect of success.
But it is the highest pitch of absurdity In men
avowing such doctrine, to complain because the
poisoned chaice shall be held to their lips. We
have patience with such people They would cheer
fully give Joke, but cannot take one.
Up to the present time, the Administration OF the
General Government has very quietly suffered Inc
patronage in its gift be absorbed not only by men
holding political opinions different from the Chie
Magistrate and his advisers, but by wings and Loco
Focos who with very few exceptions take every oc-
cason to their spleen and pour out their filthy
abuse upon the head of the President. Nay, they 60
farther. They proclaim the head of the nation to be
"the meanest of his species, and unworthy OF me
confidence Of any mani And III regard for their

they do all they to bring disgrace upon the Admin
sraton, by neglect of their duties and other malser
saton in office. We DO not make these general
charges at random. The examples are abundant, and
VIGOROUSLY known
This state of things is incompatible with just and
efficient administration. public affairs, and every
man feeling proper interest in the success OF the
Chief Magistrate, who guides the desnies OF
the nation must look to the energetic enforcement OF
the party policy by which unity of action can be
secured in all the departments of government. The
President is not the to foTego the performance OF
his duty in this respect There thousands and
thousands of honest, competent and faithful men
among the people, holding the same opinions with Mr..
Tyler and approving of his lofty and patriotic course,
on whom he call for assistance at all times, and
thus spare the present incumbents in office the disa-
greeable necessity of REFRESHING their political feelings
Iftherefore, the Wings and Locofocos, now hold
ing office under the administration, with such opin-
| ions nne-tenths of them entertain of the Chief
Magistrate, not prepared like philosophers to give
up the "loaves" which they enjoy with SO much
oathing for the dispenser of them, they will learn to
their SURPRISE perhaps that there thousands OF
other ready to relieve them of their burdens
men, who are far better qualified and who will do the
country honor by faithful discharge of their duties
