President Polk and the Clerks.

It is presumed to be fact we'll known to
the reading public, that complaints have fire
quently been made, during the last twenty
years, Of the unfaithfulness and incompetency
of many Of the Clerks las well as higher
fanctionaries) employed in the various de-
partments Of our. general government. That
those complaints have too often been well
founded no candid mar, who is informed Oh
the subject. will attempt to deny. But at no
period during the existence of our Govern
ment have the causes for such complaints
been SO numerous and fragrant as during the
extraordinary Administration which closed
it's career on the third of March last.
The exciting and novel manner in which
the political campaign Of ls4o was conducted
by the Wing party, was well calculated to
enlist into its ranks the idle, the vagrant and
the dissolute of all grades and conditions,
from broke down stockholders, Bankers, and
Land spectators to discharged tellers OF sus-
pended Banks, and dismissed Clerks Of village
Groceries; who being too indolent Or too
proud to "work for a living" succeeded, at the
commencement Of Mr.. Tylefs Administration,
to an alarming extent. in appropria.ing to
their own use q goodly share Of the. sspoils
Of the victory which they had aided in achiev-
ing, and thereby were enabled to continue to
revel in luxury asa dissipation, drawing the
means for so doing from the public cofers,)
disregarding alike, the public interests and the
obligations they were under to discharge
with fidelity the duties devolving upon them
as public servants. 3S .n H{Vfl
This state Of things produced, in the va
rious departments, what might reasona bly, be
expected--a loose and irregular system Of
doing business--the imposition Of extra and
unjust duties on the few faithful and compe-
tent Clerks, and pexatious delays 10 indiyidu-
ais having business to transact there. For
the purpose Of correcting those evils and se-
curing prompt and faithful discharge Of
public duties--the present Executive, soon
after entering upon the duties Of his office,

ments, a a"Crcular," Of which the following

MEXICO.

This unhappy country continues to be the
scene of anarchy and bloodshed. Govern
meut seems utterly inadequate TO protect its
subjects or enforce its laws. Different falS-
lilies have called in the aid of Indians, and
executions are constantly, made without the
Formally of trials. The Camanches, with
regular border spirit, are over running the
country ofDurango, butchering and plumber
ing with customary savage ferocity. These
attacks by theludians. are attributed, by the
.rstchod people Of Mexico, to the American
people.
A Mexican general with his party had
st. out, TO dispense a,band of American Emf
grants. on their way to California and Oregon.
Another Mexican General had made re-
QUESTION upon the Government, for 500
horses and accoutrements, which it was una
bic to comply with.

he will pursue the course, which will best
promote his accession to a second term. The
west, the north, and the south are in the bal
anee, and the policy of the government will
be guided by that which proves heaviest In
popularity and profit. The hext Congress
have the decision in their hands, and proba-
bly, that decision depends upon the dictates
of the President aud his Cabinet. We can
expect little Difference towards tie laws of ma
lions, and the rights of foreign powers. from
bsdy of men who have shown themselves
too corrupt TO respect our own Federal Con
stitution. 1t is TO be hoped, however. that
crisis, of such momentous importance, may
check the democratic Juror, and bring these
men backito something like decent regard
for the honor, the interests, and the duty of
the Nation.

CUBA ANNEXATION.

Many ofthe Democratic papers are cast
ing covetous eyes upon Cuba. This Island is
represented to sbe the garden of the earth. Its
importance, in adding 10 the Military force
and defence of The United States, is greatly
extolled. and its inhabitants are said to be
eager for annexation to the;UnioD. Every
reason which was urged for the Texas, con-
spiracy, applies with equal or greater force
to this project; and some important objec-
tons to the annexation of the former, do
not obtain in the latter. Let us, there
fore, look forward to the time, when this
scheme; shall be brought prominently into
the field. Let us expect it 10 be the hobby.
upon which some future President will ride
into office. Let Democracy enroll its bau-
ner to the breeze, with the name of John B.
Weller, DR. Duncan, or SEINE kindred spir-
it, as its next Presidential candidate, and
the area Of freedom may be yet greatly en-
larged. Democracy and Third party -Birn-
eyism will not fail to sacceed.
