A coemPnrary wants to know who has the

others. a man has also good right to petit
tinn for office, as for the ambition of slavery In

When we saw The above paragraph in the New

agent, with cnngenia principles, to fill the sta

are unanimous in favor of one individual then the
appointing power ought to defer to that unanirni-

quarter, from The fact that some Of our democratic
friends have Ihnnght proper To separate themselves
from the great body, and recommend different
persons 10 The same office, and even to retain

is PapabIe on every baud, and the consequence
will be the uter Destruction Of our political power
in this section. The whig parry laid down the
principle that political opponents should he roat-
ed from office, and we acqniesced in the justice
and wisdom Of the doctrine. We hold that it
is impossible for a democrotc government to be
successfully carried on by whig agents, and vice

as they would obey the command of parinlic
virtue. We have but little to ask for in this
