ROTATION IN OFFICE.

Our esteemed President has announced his deter
mnation TO serve but one term; thus setting an ex-
ample as to the principle Of rotation in office, as
well as manifesting compliance with the wishes
of the people upon this subject
There some, we are aware, who violently OPP
pose this doctrine, principally upon the ground that
the public interests suffer by frequent changes new
officers requiring time TO perfect themselves IN the
discharge Of their official duties. To this we would
reply that the small loss sustained by removal, IS
more than counterbalanced by the healthful spirit
infused in the body polite by new incumbents; by
the aid that is rendered to the principle of progress
essential to the vitality ofgovernments; and, more
than ALL by the overthrow the perncious doctrine
of official life leases opposed not only to an energetic
administration of public affairs, but promotive Of
that national apathy or sluggishness so dangerous
in democratic republic.
There are some who imagine that they have an
inherent right their official stations; and that, as
long as they discharge their duties they entitled
to remain to the total exclusion of others, equally
capable, and more needy.
1t should be remembered that rotation in Office
does not mean rolling from one to the other, as
some would seem to imagine; but fair distribution
of official gifts at the expiration of some reasonable
fixed limit of official terms
1t is owing to the neglect of the great principle Of
rotation, that the democratic party have suffered, that
the ardor of the young has been dampened, and the
Jealous made cool. There are thousands who have
never desired station, who have sckened at the re-
tention of men in Office, who have received honors
and emoluments from early infancy. They ask,
with wonder, When is this to cease, and limits be
fixed to the terms Of official incumbents, in order
that the worthy may be rewarded, and those who
have been satiated, removed If the democracy ex-
pect retain political ascendency, they must carry
out reform in the different departments of govern
ment lest our opponents, with less real honesty, but
with more professions, steal into power they did
in 1910, under the banner of reform and retrench-
ment.
Our executive thus far has done well, and we
hope he will continue to do; but the subordinate
officers of government have yet done nothing.
No party can exit by a sacrifice of its friends
principle can be carried out with the government in
the hands of our foes. Such the views of Of
the fpe thousand who gave the electoral vote of New
York to President Polk, and, in doing, certainly
never expected TO exat the friends of Henry Clay.
ONE OF THE FIVE THOUSAND.

new apparatus, is prepared to furnish this refresh

'DHE SHARON WHITE SULPHUR
/ SPRINGS, SCHOHARIE COUNTY, NEW
YORK.-The public respectfully informed that
Mr.. Sandon, Of the Congress Hall, Albany, is as
socated with Mr.. Gardner in the management of
the Pavilion Hotel at Sharon The house is now
open for the reception of visitors, and pledge is
given to the public that every effort will be used,
and no expense withheld, to make the Pavilion equal
in all respects to any similar establishment in this
country The beautiful scenery, invgorating noun
tain air, extensive and diversified rides, and its
proximity to Cherry Valley and Cooperstown,
render Sharon most desirable residence for those
in search of pleasure whilst the established efficacy
of the white sulphur spring presents to the suffer
ing invalid all that can be desired. Physicians Of
eminent standing have pronounced the sulphur
waters of Sharon unequaed in this country and the
thousands that have resorted thther in search Of
health, after years Of affection will corroborate fully
this medical testimony. These waters have resulted
in the entire restoration of persons laborng under
rheumatism, bilious affections, dyspepsia, and every
variety of cutaneous diseases. In order that the
reader may be enabled to form some idea of the real
character Of the white sulphur water at Sharon, an
analysis is given below of this spring, and also Of
the celebrated white sulphur in Virginia. Whilst
the former contains 90 5-l2 cubic inches sulphur
cited hydrogen to the gallon, it will be perceived
that the latter contains emily 2.5 cubic inches.
