REMOVALS.

If we we're called upon TO define the {" height OF
impudence," we should unhesitatingly point 10 the
complaints Of the Loco Focos and Wings, whenever
any one Of those parties is expelled from office UNI
der the General Government, is suffered to retire
TO the walks of private life, by the nonrenewal OF
his commission.
The known and open principle of these two par
ties as proclaimed boldly by their eminent leaders,
Martin Van Buren, and Henry Clay is, in relation to
public Office no quarter, quarter If he is not OF
US say they, he is against US and forthwith
the incumbent is desired, in elegant parlance, 10
" walk Spanish" So far, so good, and we applaud
them for holding such principle 1t IS conserva-
tive principle and enables the party in power, acting
upon ii, 10 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
ayowng such doctrine, 10 complain because the
poisoned chace shall be held to their lips. we
have patience with such people. They wouldcheer
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 It's gift 10 be absorbed, not only by men
holding political opinions different from the Chiei
Magistrate and his advisers but by wings and Loco
Focos who with very few exceptions take every oc-
cason to vent their spleen and pour out their hlthy
abuse upon the head Of the President. Nay they go
farther. They proclaim the head of the nation to be
'the meanest OF his species, and naioorhy o. nc
nfdence Of ann honest mani And fla regard for their
place prompts them conceal their nimical feelings,
they do all they to bring disgrace upon the Admin
sraton, by neglect of their duties and other malVef
saton in office. We 10 not make these general
charges at random. The examples abundant, and
VIGOROUSLY known.
This state of things is Incompatible with Just anu
efficient administration Of public affairs, and every
man feeling proper interest IN me success OF we
| Chief Magistrate who now guides the desunIes 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 the to oIego the performance OF
his duty in this respect There are thousands and
thousands of honest, competent and faithful men
among the people, holding the same opinions with Nj
Tyler, and approving of his lofty and patriotic course
on whom he call for assistance at all times, anu
thus spare the present incumbents in office the disa-
greeabe necessity of REFRESHING their political feelings
IT, therefore, the Wings and Locofocos, now hold
ing office under the administration, WI h such opln-
ions nno-.enths Of them entertain of the Chief
Magistrate, are no, prepared like philosophers to give
up the "loayes" which they now enjoy with so much
oathing for the dispenser Of them, they will learn Ia
their surprise perhaps, that there are thousands OF
other men ready relieve them of their burdens
men, who are far better qualified, and who will do the
country honor by faithful discharge of their duties
