PECULIAR QUALIFICATIONS.
FRIDAY MORNING, JAN. 5, l5i4,

During Gen. Jackson's administration, it
was sure passport to Office, for man to
make himself notorious, by some outrage
upon public morals; and blasphemons
comparison of the old Chieitain to the Del
,y, was equivalent to an appointment. And
the Van Buren, party IN Congress seem to
be following up this principle. Mathew 81
Clair Clark, the experienced, accomplished,
and faithful Clerk of the House, was reqnr-
ed to walk the plank, to make room for Z.
J. McNully, of Ohio. And who is this
McNnly! Why, the man who in the ONO
Legislature last year moved that petition
| then under consideration be " sent to hell =!
The member having the petition in charge,
consented to the reference, on CONDITION that
McNulty should be the bearer. McNuliy
was censured by vote of the House, and
only escaped expulsion from the necessities
of The party. In point Of talents, he stood
but fourth rate in the Legislature, and
member on the occasion alluded to, pro-
nounced him "a radical in politics, de-
siructivc in action, and a BLACKBOARD in be-
haviour." And for these qualifications (ior
], is not contended that he has any oller,)
ocofocoism has seen fit to honor him with
this lucrative and responsible trust. 1t will
greve the party to learn, however, that they
arc, after all, likely to be deprived oil his
services, as he has not been able to pro cure
the requisite bail (s2O,OOO,) and will proba'
Div have TO vacate the office.

CORRECTION.

We see the New York Sun, in speaking
of Mr.. Van Ness as a candidate for the va
cant post on the bench of the U. S. ST.
preme Court. sets him up as of Vermont
This is of course an error. Mr.. Van Ness
was formerly Of this State, bu, i: is now
some three years since he has exercised any
other rights of residence here than to act as
John Tyler's back stairs adviser, in the reg.
ulation of appointments in this State. The
candidate whom Vermont would present,
should her claims be considered in the APP
poin,mcnt of Judge, is quite another man /;
man who besides possessing every intellec-
,ual and legal qualification for that exalted
position, is also the possessor of an untain-
ted moral and political character. We re-
fer, of course, to our late distinguished Sem
a,or in Congress, Hon. Samuel Prentlss, now
District Judge of the U. S. fer the District
of Vermont. If John Tyler wishes to do
himself honor in filling the place Of Judge
Thompson, we can tell him that he cannot
do it more ellec,ually than by the appoint
men, of Samuel PrenlIss.

the T. d. understands and appreciates, bu,

occasional discharge, have left but enough
to tell the story of the organization, fifteen
years since. The company however, is
now larger than we have ever known it, well
organized and uniformed, and Of its frequen,
and important services, the people Of Bur-
lington can bear ample testimony. When

we had more active agency it is very
