A WORD MORE ABOUT REMOVALS.


solved 10 stand or fall by the measures Of the
Administration, they have very naturally incur
red the unappeasable, merciless, and eternal
hatred of the ultra politicians Of both parties.
The grand problem to be solved is, whether
majority Of the citizens composing these parties
will follow their respective leaders, or unite in
sustaining the measures Of the Administration
measures, which reason and experience must
convince all honest and rejecting men to be sal
utary, proper, and indispensable at such juno
ture as the present, TO extricae the country from
its emban assments.
Something must be done, or the patient will
die. This is granted by both parties. Yet the
doctors on one side of the bed say they will do
nothing, because the body was not wholly given
upto them. Something must be done Speediiy
This is the cry coming TO the Capitol from ev-
cry section of the country. Yet the doctors on
the other side say that ilasmuch they were
not called in first, they will do nothing, if their
brothers opposite do not peacefully resign the pa
tent to their care. And this the latter of course
will not consent to do bitter words, reproaches
| and denominations ensue; and thus war is
kept up over the body of the poor languishing
country by the very men who should unite in
their efforts to produce cure for the evils
afflictng it.
What will the People say What are they
saying? But words are not heeded-Acrs, prompt
| and decided, can alone terminate the ignoble
strife But we forget the immediate object OF
| this article.
In relation to appointments by the President,
| we believe it is universally admitted that all
| the agents of the Government should be, at
| least, friendly TO the existence and legitimate
operations of the Government. Were it other
wise, were Tories and Royalists intrusted with
| the reins Of Government, the Republic would
doubtless soon cease to exist Ii will readily be
| admitted by all that were either of the extremes
Of parties, led on by either setof the doctors au
dedtoabove, TO obtain control public affairs, that
the whole system would soon be changed. This
| they ayow. They demand IA total change of
policy, and they must change it themselves
| The question which occurs then is, which is
i ught-lhe constitutional authorities selected
/ expressly TO prescribe for the diseases of the
/
Of apothecares standing round eager TO pocket
all the fees and profits themselves? If the for
mer are right the latter must be wrong. If the
latter had their own way, then the existing pol
icy OF those 10 power would be abandoned, sub
verted, repudiated. 1t therefore follows as a
corollary that the mere creatures Of the will OF
these false doctors, who have been insnuated
l Il, I,l II l..l
should be superseded by those who are truly
anxious for the speedy recovery of the patient
under the care and prescription of the regular
ply sician. And this is demanded the more i'm
periously in consequence of the rude ejectmen
of several honest attendants that had been sen
in to labor peacefully with them.
But to drop the figure entirely, 1t is takei
for granted that the Republican Administration
can never expect any mercy from either TIT
Clay Wings or the Loco Focos, and that tn
offices Of the Government are in great meas
ure in possession OF the partlsans OF the leader
of these factions. We argue, thence, tina
inasmuch as the moderate Wings and Demo
Gratis love their country more than party, an
both very generally approve the measures G
the Administration, they will not be likely t
sympaihize much with the uitras when the da
: of their demolition arrives. And we doubt nc
> there are quite enough moderate Wings an
moderate Democrats in the country to fill a
d the Offices that may be vacated by the removi
: OF Loco Focos and Clay Wings.
We doubt not that such glorious movemer
9 would be iavorably responded to by the countr!
u The ultra leaders would doubtless growl, an
bark, and bite, ''tor God has made them so" bl
u their vengeiul throes would be impotent. Partit
II would be independent Of them. The Poop
would truly be "disenthralled." The CONT
would revive and prosper More anon.
