tons as prompt insertion as they may desire;
but our space is limited and wo have to adopt,
to some extent, the miler's rule, "hrst come,
first served" We shall endeavor to publish in
our paper of tomorrow, tho articles signed
"Scventy- SIX" and "llancock," as we are not
disposed to prevent the free discussion of mea-
slircs deemed of great public importance
AMERICAN REPUBLIC ANIsM. NotwtIstand-
ing the invcteratc opposition which the AmeFi-
can Republicans have encountered, so truly
American are the principles which they pro-
,ss, aud so sensible are the people OF the abu-
SEES which have been practised by the OLD par
ties, that the American ranks are increasing
every day; and we have no doubt that before
the period of the next presidential election shall
have arrived, they will outnumber any party in
the country We have the most tlatterng en-
enlargement from every section OF the coun-
try where the American Republican flag has
been unturlcd Americans begin to see and to
feel the necessity Of standing up for the rights
and the honor of sour COuptry' and Of re-
slraining the increase of foreign influence a.
mongst us. "OIr exchange papers, (sayS the
Cumberland Civilian "tcem with accounts OF
the progressive movements of American Re
publlcanism. Possessing distinct organiza-
ton; sustained by an able press, and bone on
ward by men Of eminent talents and dlstin-
guishcd patriotism every section of the
Union, it has repudiated all ancient party de-
sguations, in order to avoid prejudice and IN
propitious alliances. At nc. distant PERIOD it
may be destined to WELD a tremendous ntlu-
encc over the destnes of this country. Let it
be kept pure then. Let its singlenoss of pur-
pose, it's purity of conduct, its uncxamplcd mo-
deration, still continue to attract universal ad
miraton."
Good and patriotic men Of all parties, native
and adopted citizens, arc cyertIng their ener-
gios 70 ntuse into our general and local legs-
lation, the same feelings and principles that
guided our ioretathers in the achievement of
our liberties; and there can be no doubt that
they viii succeed in placing the country be-
yond the control of an influence, against which
the Father OF his Country raised his warning
voice. Followers ofthe doctrines of WashiRg
ION, the American Republicans combat, not for
the "spoiIs of ollice'-nor for place and power
but to sustain the independence of their coun-
try. Should they fail in their efforts, they will
ut eas. have the satisfaction to know, that they
have failed in a just, pure and holy cause.
ADvGRrIsNG.-N benefits. The prospect for
Il brisk Spring business is good; and there can
be no doubt about the capacity ofour merchants
to meet all the demands, from whatever quar-
ter-distant or near-in the various articles APP
pertaining to human wants. If proofs wanted,
look along the columns of the Clipper, and the
fact is established. Distant merchants look to
its columns, as a business directory; and those
who avail themselves of this mode of spreading
their business widecast through all classes of
community, distant cities and the country
generally, realise the fruits Of freely advertising
in a paper enjoying the confidence of all right
thinking persons, and read even by those few
through jealousy or prejudice, fear TO acknowl-
edge its merit. Proud of our patronage, envious
Of none, and prosperous in all our undertakings,
we take pleasure in calling public attention to
the ad refreshments of merchants, SC. that daily
appear in our paper. Read the advertisements;
every body is interested in them; and, then call
and see for yourselves, where you may spend
your money to the best advantage.
Removal The New York Sun says-"The
Surveyor of the Port of Baltimore, after send
ingea host of petitions TO be retained i'll office,
sent President Polk present of handsome
horse; but the horse was Immediately returned,
with an order for the removal of the Surveyor"
We know nothing in respect to the present
of horse; but it is certain that the Surveyor of
this Port has been removed-and iii be true,
that he sent a horse to the President in the hope
that the present would have an influence in re-
tanning him in office, the President has given
him proper rebuke. We like to see this ho-
no,able and Independent course pursued by
President Polk, for it gives the nation assur-
ance, that he IS not to be controlled by office
seekers, and that he will fulfill his declaration,
not to be the President of party only, but OF
the whole people. The President occupies
position which will enable him to confer last
ing benefits upon the country, at the same time
that he will place his own name high on the
scroll of fame He appears TO have taken a
digni6ed and firm stand IN relation to appoint
ments to office; and he has but to maintain his
position, to secure for himself the approbatio n
of all true friends to the country.
CHESAPEAKE AND Ono CANAL. The Cum

we assigned any thing but what we said, in an
