the most probable is. pecunary difficult

Her subtle mesh DER tree and flower,
And yonder ripping current heaves
In measured cadence to the hour;

AS stainless as the wintry drifts,
And passioniess as thought below
While mourniully the midnight chime
Is murmuring 10 the march OF time.
Thy being is part of mine
My loving spirit flows TO thee,
As rivers leave their mountain mine
And hasten to the heaving sea
And as those mighty waters roll.

that number Of true Republicans have already
been dismissed from Office. merely because they
were not hostile to Mr.. Tyler's administration,
aud Notwithstanding their support OF the present
incumbent of the Presidential chair.
We hope there lie no foundation f. these ru-
mon. We hope such will not be the policy OF
Mr.. Polk. When we did the utmost in our
power TO rally the friends Of Mr.. Tyler TO the
support of MIR. Polk, we did so with the eIpec-
lstion and assurance that they would not be
made the special objects of persecution and
proscripti in return for their friendly exer-
lions. And we did not hesitate TO pledge our
friends, that their services would be appreciated,
and their friendship reciprocated.
We repeat, that we trust there is no truth in
the rumors referred TO. They do not accord
with the solemn declarations and pledges Mr..
Polk since his election. We shall await further
developments.

JUSTICE" AND OLD VIRGINIA.

Ma. EpuoR perceive from communication in
the Globe over the signature Of Justice" that the
writer IS endeavoring create the impression that
Virginia receives the largest share Of the patronage
Of the Government in the Executive Offices Of this
city, and those of the diplomatic and consular sta
lions abroad for the purpose evidently Of dparagng
the claims Of the citizens of that gallant old State,
who have remained true to their principles in every
political contest whilst Of the other States have
become eelpsed with Federalism. The principle
laid down by Justice" is unfair. To arrive at the
truth, and to dispense Justice to ALL in relation to
proper distribution Of the patronage of the Govern
ment, he should have given the amount bestowed
upon New York. Pennsy lvania, Massachusetts, and
the New England States, 10 the collection of the
customs and he will then that, in the city of
New York alone the patronage Of the Government
is greater than the whole amount received by Vir-
gnia He should also take into consideration the
amount Of patronage bestowed upon the West, in the
way of Improvements, the Land Offices, the Indian
Department; and after this is done "Jistics" will
discover that Old Virginia is far behind in receiving
even an equal share of the distribution of the pa
tronsge Of the Government Virginia has contended
for principles, and nobly has she redeemed them
know great many individuals, in the " Blue Book,
who are Virginians by birth, but they have ceased
long ago to be citizens of that State For instance,
if an appointment should be made from Kentucky or
Missouri the individual, is charged to the account Of
Virginia if it should appear that he was born there
This rule of action, might probably, show large
number of Virglnans, because her citizens to be
found in every State West of the Mountains but
do unequivocaly say that Virginia is far behind
in resident appointments Jsticss' statement 10 the
contrary notwithstanding. There is a smaller amour,
Of money discussed in this gallar old State than any
other in the Union. She has never asked the Gov.
eminent to aid her in her internal improvements
she has even dsdained TO receive the land distrbu-
ton fund and, in fact, all for which she has ever
commended was her cherished principles, which will
be maintained even should her gallant citizens be
overlooked by unfair statements made by Justice "
or any other selfish individual
In justification of my position, which is directly
opposite TO Jices's" partial and one-sided state
ment, will recite fact. The present Register of
the Treasury, at the time of his appointment, was
citizen of the State of New York. having served IN
the Legislature of that State, yet the " Blue Book
makes it appear that the appointment made from
Virginia. Now, this is not fair, and boldly assert
that twothirds of the appointments which hail from
Virginia were made from other States, and partcu-
arly from the West and Southwest. So much for
liberal. minded "JUsTIcE." A DEMOCRAT.
