To the editor of the Baltimore Patriot:
The work of prescription goes furiously
on! James K. Polk is exhibiting himselft 10
be, what, 10 the extento of his ability, he real
ly is-ihe greatest demagogue in America!
How does his inhumsn prescription comport
with the hypocritical professions of a contra
~ nature which he uttered in his inaugural
address! In addition to the sixty or seventy
removals previously made in the Departments
here, ii is understood that about twenty-five
clerks have Just had their heads struck Off
The list of their names, which has been fur
nished me, is not a full one, but runs as fol-
lows:
Post Office Department-Messis Bancroft,
Ross and Judge Smith.
Sixth Auditors Office, in the Post Office
Observation-Disclosures Fleet w. Smith, John
Lewis and Fitzhugh Coyle.
Indian Bureau, in the War Department
Messrs. Henry II. Krebs and Basil Fl. War
rem.
Navy Department-Messrs. McBlair and
Ludlow.
Fourth Auditors Office, in the Navy De-
partment-Messrs. McGill, Brown, More
head and Geo. ellis.
Treasurer's Office, in the Treasury Depart
ment-Messrs. Page, Boots and Dashields.
Comptroller's Ofice-Messrs. Benthall
and George Wood.
Second Comptroller's Office, in the State
Observation-Disclosures Sessford and McGill,
Clerks, and Mr.. Sessford, Messenger.
Commissary Generals Office, in the War
Department--Mr. Columbus Monroe, son-in-
law of Major Seaton.
Mr.. Thomas Gunton, in the Third Audi
tors Office, is TO give place TO Charles H.
Wallach, Esqr. unless some new arrangement
in the matter speedily takes place. Several
other removals are to take place in this Blu
reau, though IFS head, Mr.. Peter Hagner, as
well as that OF the Fifth Auditor Office, Mr..
Stephen Pleasanton, it has been finally SET
lied and decided, shall not be removed.
The Indignation Of the people at Mr..
Folks merciless prescription is running strong
and deep in this city, and will ere long burst
forth in an unmistakable demonstration. 1t
canuot be otherwise. The subject is in ev.
cry ones mouth, and OH every ones tongue.
The hardest case in this cruel work is
that, perhaps, of Mr.. Warren, dismissed from
the Indian Bureau. He is a very amiable
man, a good citizen, and a capital clerk
Most deeply has be been afflicted for years,
and yet, mild and long-suffering, he has borne
his affections with scarcely a murrnur. Some
twenty months since, his wife, after a long
sickness, died, leaving six children, four
daughters and two sons, for him TO raise anc
provide for. Mr.. Warren is very poor, in de
licate health, and has never made himself OBJ
noxious as a politician. And yet, with hi;
six moiherless little children, poor in purse
and debilitated in body, he is rulhlessly turn
ed out upon the world 10 earn a livelihood
for himself and offspring, as best he may!-
And this by order of James K. Polk, who
was by accident nominated for the Presiden
cy, by fraud and corruption, by bargain ant
intrigue, elected, and who, in his inaugura
address, pretended that he would respect the
riichis Of minoritles. and not dismiss from tn
Peoples Offices flithful and honest men TO
opinions sake.
1t is said that Mr.. McBlair, dismissed from
the Navy Department, sought Mr.. Bancroft
in his room and denounced him with sucI
force and severity, for everything corrupt anc
ofigate, that the Secretary found it neccs
sary 10 call in help and have Mr.. Mob. pu
out. This is wrong, but it can scarcely bC
helped. The number of those who have
been thrust outthe Peoples ofices-not J
K. Polk's--is getting to be very large, ant
the sufierlngs in this community in conse
quence are becoming very severe. Th'
People feel and must give vent to their feel
lngs. 1t is a matter ofwonder that they have
thus far kept themselves under such admira
bic and p~raise-worthy restraint. They know
and feel that they have rights and interest
in the Government, as much, TO say tn
least, as this minority Administration whic
is playing, in its brief authority, such a higI
and cruel game: and they know and feel ;ha
they could, at any time, rid the Capitol of tn
Goths and Vandals--but they are men c
: peace, law and good order, and they forbear
d The Administrations pursuit after lyle
men seems TO be as hungry as ever. Mr.. A
