The OFFICE OF HEALTH OFFICER.-We have
stated that an attempt was making by certain
parties to abolish the fees attached to the office
of health officer, and make that asaaried office.
The movement, 1t appears, receives great deal
of opposition, and the friends of the present in
cumbent are eloquent on the dangers and risks
he runs in exposing himself to contagion.
Now, this is all "gas;" for we know very
we'll, that the health officer no more exposes
himself than any other physician does, and not
as much as many do. BE this as it may, there
are thousand young physicians in the State,
who would gladly face all this risk and danger,
for salary of twenty-five hundred dollars a
year. 1t is very doubtful whether the fees at
tached to this Office will ever be abolished.
They amount to twenty five or thirty thousand
dollars per year; and yet we are informed, that
the incumbent gets very little over living from
the Office.
How is this
Simply, because they are considered very
important portion of the "spols,'' which we
hear so much about, and have from time imme-
mortal been used by all political parties for cleo
pioneering purposes. Indeed, we are informed
that DR.. Doane, who held this office a short time
since, left it poorer man than he was when he
entered it, all the fees having been taken from
him for election purposes. If this is 80, then
the receipts of this Office may be considered,
as the lawyers say, one of the " hereditaments'
to 60 into the control Of the party successful and
to be used by the other party, in case of its sue
cess-to go from one to the other, and be used
by each in bribery and corruption. The loco
focos having been defeated, are7 now very
anxious to have these fees abolished, now that
they cannot get them; but the wings think their
turn has come, and as it depends on the wings
whether they shall be abolished or not, we may
reasonably suppose that they will not

Great preparations are making In this city tor
the public meeting announced to be he'd at the
Tabernacle, on Monday next to respond to the
movements of Mr.. Clay, recently made in Lex
inpton, Kentucky. That was the first distinct
ground taken against the Mexican war, and In
representing the deeds performed in that coun-
try, by the American troops, as so many murders
and butcheries, while they admitted, In the Same
breath, that the butchers and murderers might
still be considered heroes and brave men, In Sc
parate and distinct resolutions. Such, indeed,
was the twofold aspect of the resolutions agreed
upon at that meeting. similar meeting was
recently held in Philadelphia, at which the same
singular opinions on the war with Mexico, and
all those concerned in it, prevailed.
The meeting, however, which is preparing to
be held in New York. next Monday evening, is
going to surpass all others in the doctrines
which will there be set up, in the influence on
the people, and in the superior morality Of the
sentiments and principles that will be expressed
ut it. A number of subscription papers are
going round town, collecting moneys, for the
purpose of filling the Tabernacle on that even
ing.
What singular, free, happy, and incompre-
hensible country this model republic Is AT the
very same time that the great capitals of New
Orleans and New York are displaying their en-
thusiasm on the return of some of the celebrated
heroes from the Mexican war, there is another
portion of this free and happy people, who con.
siders all those heroes as so many murderers,
and unite their voices with those of the
unprejudiced people of London and Paris
who also look on us as a nation of murderers
and cut-throats. eneral Taylor, General
Quitman, General Shields, and many other
distinguished heroes from Mexico, have just
been received in New Orleans with tremen-
dous enthusiasm. Col. Burnett, and some of his
associate heroes, from Churubusco, havebeen r E.
ceived here with equal enthusiasm. The senti-
ments efthe American people cannot be suppress
ed and yet there certain portions of this very
people who are getting up meetings in favor OF
the sentiments of Mr.. Clay, for the purpose OF
denouncing all those deeds in Mexico, and, by
Implication, of denouncing all the heroes who
performed them, as so many murderers and
butchers.
Such, probably, will be the character of tn,
meeting which is about to be held at the Taber
nacle; and from the curious import of the reso
lutions that will be offered, the peculiarly of th'
sentiments, and the character of the whole at
fair, we have no doubt we shall have much to
say on the matter, when it takes place, and for q
long time afterwards. II the movement of Mr.
Clay should be successful, and the sentiments
proposed at that meeting become prevalent, we
may send over TO London or Paris for branch

reign over us, we will be getting on astonish.

The OCEAN STEAM LlNEs.-Some of the Boston
papers put forth the idea that the line Of steam
ships which is about to commence running be-
tween Liverpool and New York, next month, is
only an appendage to the Boston line, and was
never intended to be anything else.
We happen to know the whole affair, little
better than the Boston papers, and even better
than the managers in Boston themselves. Our
information is derived from those who are the
best informed, viz: the company itself, in Liver
pool. Now their intentions are, as fast as pos
sible, and as soon as they can obtain the consent
of the British government to the change, to
transfer all the steamers, from both Halifax and
Boston, and run between Liverpool and New
York, alone. 1t is the, purpose of the company
to induce the British government to send all the
Canada mails through New York to Montreal,
and to have separate and distinct line of coast
steamers to run between Halifax, Ne Wound
land and New York.
We have every reason to believe, from the eff
forts made in England, that these purposes may
all be carried into execution before the end OF
another year, or at least, two. The British North
American Company, in Liverpool understand the
whole affair perfectly well, and do not despair
of convincing the British government of the
propriety and advantage of carrying out these
ideas. 1t is idle, therefore, for the Boston press
to fiatter themselves with the idea that the Gu
nard line will long continue to run to their port

A STRIKE AMONG THE SAINTs.-Wc often
read of strikes among iourneymen of various
trades, for an advance Of WAGES; but 1t falls sell
dom to the lot Of the chronicler of daily events,
to record such strike as that we have referred
10 above
1t seems, then, that the "Biblc Society" has
struck for more money. In order to stir up the
zeal of the pous, and to give effect to the deed,
and at the same time strong reproof to the
slackening zeal Of the money contributors, they
have turned adrift all the hands in their employ,
and dismissed their hundreds of girls and work
men, whom for years they have employed. We
suspect some yuse de guerre" IN all this affair.
It is well known that the society,as trader, pos
sesses almost unlimited credit, and has long been
making money handsomely. Some scheme no
doubt lies at the bottom, and TO carry it out, the
little means of many hundred people in this city,
are suddenly cut of.
Whether this will have the effect of bringing
out cash from pious pockets, and putting it into
tho hungry bags Of "picsy." we shall soon sec,

THE ABOLITION PARTY IN CoNaRKss.-The abo-
lltion party is at last organised in the House o
Representatives, and it counts three immortals-
Palfrey, Tuck, and Giddings. Mr.. Psifrey was
formerly clergyman in Boston, very capital
preacher, and made great harvest in the vine
yard of the Lord, much about the same time
that Mr.. Everett did-we mean by marrying a
rich wife. We have frequently heard him
preach, and thought him good In the course OF
his ministry, good looking woman who hap
pened to possess some Southern slaves, fell in
love with him, and they were married. Mr..
Palfrey, however, was an anti-slavery man, from
conscience; and he accordingly gave liberty to
the slaves which his wife brou ght him, amount
ing IN value to fifteen thousand dollars. He is
now the leader of the abolition party in Con-
gress, and is determined, talented, active, in
telligent, and educated man.
Of Mr.. Tuck we don't know much; possibly
he is lineal descendant of Friar Tuck, and if
so, his sentiments on abolition will stick as
fovcibly by him as mug of foaming ale did by
his ancestor. Mr.. GIddings, from Ohio, is well
known.
This party being now organized, it will
possess more influence than their numbers
would seem to warrant, arising from the divl-
sion of the two great parties IN the House OF
Representatives. As a counteracting influence,
however, to the abolition party, we have the old
and ancient and respectable party, called the
" nullifers," more recently called the estate
rights" party-numbsring, probably, as many in
the House of Representatives the abolitionists.
We suppose both of these extensive parties will
hardly be able to count eight or ten in the House;
yet that is sufficient to control the movements
of that body They may, therefore, produce
strange results, by acting with or against the
others, before the termination ofthe session.
AS matters now stand, we consider that the
danger to the union of the States is much In
creased since the organization of those extreme
Observation-Disclosures, numbering three; and
anti-aboitionists, numbering four. They viii
form the upper and neither millstones of the big
grist mill of politics. and may crush both parties
in their terrible action. We hope they will
have bowels of compassion, or bowels of egg
nogg-we don't care which.
