the designs which II is familiarity understood among
US they have now desperately in hand, and new
collector of the customs unknown and inexperienced
among our citizens, be appointed with view to IA
vor the proessod adhereuts of any presumed eandi-
date for the Presidency and in anticipation OF public
opinion and choice, then we may we'll and but too
surely calculate upon fearful disruption OF our pre-
sent unanimty and power, and a correspondent resto-
ration OF that OF our opponents. Such an element
OF dissension cannot be thrown in our ranks, without
leaving frightful traces behind it. The Nativsts
and the Wings, who already begin to express regret
at the schism which has greatly enhanced pow
er, would probably recommence and extend an ALI
ance that might advance throughout the country,
and continue for longer period than would suffice to
defeat the Presidential aspirants who would blindy
effect IT, in their too eager preparations and plans for
controlling the Democracy, through monopoly OF
official patronage. Let us hope, however, that such
dangerous designs may fail and that the recent utter
prostration Of the Natvist party in this city, may
lead to IFS dispersion wherever it has begun to form
elsewhere, and leave us merely our old one-headed
enemy to encounter.
Yours, truly, s. s. 5.

HON. J. f. II. CLAIBORNE.

We perceive that our invaluable friend ana
former member Of Congress from Mississippi,
now editor Of the New ORLEANS Jefersonid"
Republican, has been appointed Superin'eh-
dent OF the Live Oak Forests in LOUISIANA
This is an office Of great trust and response
bility, and was conferred upon Col. CLAiHofNh
unapplied for, because of his thorough know
ledge of the country, and his well known ac'"e
and industrious habits. IL is not conhned 10
the Live Oak region of Louisiana, but we learn
at the Department, that he is instructed 10 pre-
serve the valuable Cypress and other tlmbers
suitable for naval purposes adjacent 10 all the
navigable waters in Mississippi and Alabama,
Over two million Of acres of the pubic do
main in that section are valuable only for the
pine, cypress. and oak growing upon them
When this is cut off, these lands become I'M
saleable. Large fortunes are now being made
by extensive depredalions on the public lands,
and this agency will save at least $4,000 10
the public treasury annually.
We learn that the late incumbent is an active
and influential Democrat; but being citizen
of distant State, the people of louisiana felt
il TO be slight TO their own people TO be passed
by when such an important appointment was to
be made; and the whole delegation in Congress
demanded it as a right that the office should be
given 10 one of their own citizens-hence the
change that has been made.
We have known Col. Claiborne intimately
for a number of years. We know him TO be
one of the most noble-hearted and generous
men that live His intellectual powers are of a
high order, and his indomitable energy is pro-
verbal wherever he is known. As change
was indispensable, under the circumstances OF
the case, we are greatly pleased that the ap,
pointment has been so worthily conferred.

THE SABBATH.

Sweetly the Sabbath morning dawns-
A calm is on the air
Like an o'erwearied child, the world
Lies meath the wings of prayer
The very clouds that hoat along
The blue aud silent skies,
Look heavy with tho holy thoughts
That slowly hoayen-ward rise.
1 love to deem the Sabbath-day
A fairy isthmus given
To man, where he may breathe awhile
On earth the gales OF heaven;
The wheels of life stand motionless-
Action in slumber lies
The thought resumes It's throne, and faith
Points, hame-lke, To the skies.
Upon our ear the sound Of bells
The Sabbath music-fails;
Rejoicing let us enter in
Religions hallowed walls
A day of JOY Why walk ye then
With steps SO sad and slow
Is not Gods smile above you spread
"Are not the dead below"
They are-but tits not well TO noun
Our brethren meath the sod
Can tears be grateful to the dead
They are the care Of God
Sweetly the Sabbath morning dawns-
A calm is on the air
Ye have six days to laugh and weep,
oh give the seventh to prayer

NoRwIon, Conn, } April 6, lS45.


The Federalists have carried the election in this
State a.nost without opposition. This they have
done, although their vote falls short 5000 from
the vote given Mr.. Clay last fall. The Democrats
have suffered a Notifying defeat-a defeat brought
about by their owa folly Instead Of laboring for
the good of the party and eecting proper organi-
zaton according TO the accustomed practice previous
to our election, the leading Van Buren, men have
spent their time in stigmatsing all who we're not in
favor Of Mr.. V. BIS nomination, and have underta-
ken to read out Of the party the Tyler men especial
ly The Wing rumors industriously circulated
by the Washington letter-wrters, and published in
Wing papers, that the Administration would pursue
proscrlpive policy towards the Tyler wing Of the
Democracy has encouraged the disorganzers referred
to, and they have seized upon said rumors, and
given them cir llation, for the purpose Of advancing
their own individual schemes. The result is that
our vote falls short some or 5000 votes. The peo-
pie Of this Stae-or that portion Of the people which
comprises majority Of the Democratic party arose
long ago in opposition TO the "Old Hunker" system
and single case ,st unfortunate in its operation
in New Haven, which seemed TO endorse the
preensions of the bunker clique, has destroyed the
hopes Of Democracy here for years 10 come. Our
Congressional district has done better perhaps than
either of the others-and could we have had the CO.
operation of men who think more of obtaining an
office than they do of the which they pretend to
espouse, there would have been no difficulty in re-
turning Catn to Congress. As it is, he is beaten
beaten by about 200 votes only

THE ONE TERM PRINCIPLE.

Our sentiments upon this point are so well
known to the public, that we hardly need to re-
peat them; nor should we do so but for the OPP
portunity of putting very silly story into a
. quiet position.
We do not believe that there are dozen in
dividuals in the United States, belonging to the
Democratic party, who do not advocate the one
term principle, as applied 10 the Presidency
The few who are in favor Of the old system OF
things, found their objections to this principle
on the superstition that it does not make the
public servant so directly responsible to The
People, as did the former custom of reelection
The objection is too important lightly to be
with some slight alteration n article from late
number of the Old Dominion, claiming it, as
we have an undoubted right to do as our own
property
"You maintain that the President must pass
the ordeal of reelection in order to test the
sense Of the People as TO his acts. This argu-
ment proves too much--if he must be re-elect-
ed at the expiration of four years in order for
the People to pass their judgment upon his ad-
minstration during that term, he certainly must
be reelected again at the end of eight years, in
order that the popular verdict may be given in
relation to the last four as well as the first, and
so on at the end of every four years during life.
II reelection is to be considered the only test,
the only criterion of public appreciation, he must
continue to be reelected while he lives, or else
there is a portion of his administration which
must be left to the judgment Of posterity-leav-
ing il in precisely the same situation as if he
were confined to the one-term principle. Do
you not perceive the absurdity of your argu-
ment2
"Does not every person know, do you not see
at the first glance, that the moment you make
reelection the test, that the temptation becomes
well nigh irresistible for the President to lend his
whole energies TO that one point7 Do you not
place before him the strongest possible induce
ment to buy up presses like cattle in the mar
Eet," to make all his appointments with view
of securing votes, instead of promoting the pub
lie interests 2 Do you not know the strength of
the party drl-do you not know that the party
which happened to elect him would whitewash
all his faults cover up all his errors, do what he
might, if he was TO be their candidate for re
elections The opposite party for the same rea-
son, would allow him no virtue, no patriotism,
no good intentions, however wise and excellent
his measures might be, because he would there
by be strengthened before the People at the test
election. Adopt the one term principle, and the
President elect becomes directly responsible TO
The People in every possible respect. He will

OUR NEW YORK CORRESPONDENT

We give to-day letter 10 the editors of this
paper, from one of the most eminent (perhaps
we should say the most eminent) political wri-
tiers of the present day. His great kindness al
lows us to hope for continuance of such high
favors. Most gladly do we welcome this first
contribution from his eloquent pen to our CO.

THE LETTINGS UNDER THE NEW POST
OFFICE LAW.

We have had our attention called 10 the new
law of Congress in relation to the letting of
mail contracts and the advertisements of the
Post Office Department issued under the law of
1886. ltappears that the service in the adver-
tlsement for the New York and New England
lettings conflicts with the service called for by
the law of ls45. Now, which must stand and
which must fall in such a contest? Surely the
law OF ls45, being the last legislative act of the
Government must be kept to the letter, and the
service called for by the advertisement, under a
former law, must give way.
Our worthy Postmaster General, who was in
Congress and knows why the new law was
passed, will see it executed 10 the letter.

TENTH DISTRICT OF VIRGINIA.

We regret to see two worthy Democrats run
ming for Congress without Wing opposition in
this stronghold of Democracy in the Old Do
minion.
We know the candidates well, and if sterling
integrity and unfinching patriotism deserve sue
cess, they most assuredly possess these to an
eminent degree; but one only can be accommo-
dated in this case, and persistence in this
course may create feelings of jealousy and ina
ginary wrong, that years may not be able to re-
move.
Let then, the two candidates come together
and settle the matter amicaby. He is no De-
mocrat who suffers himself 10 stand in the way
of the onward march of Young America.
