MR. EDIToR:-Among the numerous can
didates for the Two Clerkships at the ensu-
ing election, two of that number are now
exercising the vocation of teachers of Re-
Iligion. It seems to me to be important for
the voters to know of these gentlemen
whether, if elected, they intend to continue
their present laborS, or abandon their CALI
ing. If they think proper to exchange the
priesthood and itsholy ministrations, for the
Office of Clerk, that is a matter with which
the public have nothing to do. For this,
they have to account at the bar of their
own consciences. On the other hand, if
they, being elected, intend not to surrender
their credentials, then, in my view, it be-
comes a matter in which every voter has an
interest. 1t has been heretofore supposed
that the constitution which every civil Off
Ger is sworn to support, i~nterposes a barrier
to any minister while exercising the duties
of his religious Office, holding any Office
but that of Justice Of the Peace; and if this
construction of the constitution he correct,
the question might arise whether every vote
cast for a candidate, thus situated, might
not be a nullity. Or if this he not trne, it
seems reasonable, that any act done as
Clerk by him, would be void and of no eff
feet. Admitting, however, that this view
of the matter be incorrect, there might
very we'll arise serious difficulties, from
which the people would be the sufferers
Those who hold to the opinion, that an act
ing minister cannot at the same time per-
form the duties of Clerk, might wish to
test the question before a competent triLu"
nal, and if their views prevail, another cleo
ton, to say the least, would be the conse-
quence. 1t appears to me, that it is due to
the people, that the candidates to whom !
alluded, should define their position,
SO that the voters may cast their su~ffrag's
knowingly, and not in The dark; and there
fore respectfully rcqu' / these gcni!cm,n
TO inform us what position they occupy?

The editor of the Missouri Journal copied
into his last paper, an appointment for public
meetings over the signature of "Many Vo.
~terS," which ne has been kind enough to
credit to the "Democratic Banner" But as
we have no recollection of his ever having
given us credit, for any communication, OF
advertisement which he has heretofore copi-
ed from our columns by "request," we think
he must have ONO design in this. 1t may
be that he would wish to make the impress
sion, that the appointments were made at
the instance ofthe editor of the Banner, who
is a candidate for the county clerkship.-
But we have already told the "people,'
that we published them by request, and not
from any wish to address them on the SUBJ
ject of the clerkShip. We now say to the
Journal that they were given to us by a very
respectable man who appended tho sigma
ture of "many voters,'' and that when ask
ed for the names Of "many voters" he said,
if rcquired, he would give us, not one, two,
three or three hundred, out) .forty names
'Of cOurse,'w we then published his appoint
ments, as they were given to us over the
signature of "many voters" We agree
with the Journal, as to the qualifications for
a good clerk, and we expect "the people"
to judge of those qualifications without any
advice from the Journal, and without "much
electiOneering and some speaking" from
he candidate.

ATOTER.

IThe following communication from
the St. Louis Union, is published at the re-
quest ofsevcral OF our oldest c~itizcns:
As many ct the counties I:olI t..,ir r,.c-
tons for Clerks during the present Surrr er,
| have thought THAI a few W.ct,.. !roiH Il Clti-
zen of some observation and experience
might not be ont Of place, in Grlw;mr -
public attention Il little m1:, gcLc."... 10
the great Importance OF properly filling
those officers. Many gentlemen, well III
formed in other respects, but who have not
reflected much upon the multifariJns du-
ties of a Clerk, seem to be Of opinion that
if Il man writes a toIerably fair and free
hand, and is a passably intelligent and
~"clever fcilcw," nothing more is required.
No opinion could be more erroneous, and
carry out scarce any other error ends in
more Inconvenience TO the people and Ill
innate loss to the county and cou ltry. To
say nothing beyond a mere ~allusion to the
general public convenience of having a clerk
who reIiily understands all about the bust
ness of his office, which must include a fam
ihar hnOwledge @aHMe MlOs orhah scr-
ern the mahing up Gfhis records-to mere
~ suggest the difference between doing bu-
Siness with an officer who can, and one who
cannot, explain correctly tie things rat
have been done, or answ,s rorrectl, ,ne
hundred little questions wi.ica come ur !.
the progress o fSuits, the 2gau>..s If act...a-
iStrations, the settlement a. states, guasai-
anships, &c.,-to say nothing more of all
this, and the statute book full of similar
things, all involving the time, the conven-
fence and in many instances, the more d.
rect and positive interests of the people, it
should at least be remembered that the
Clerks books of both Courts are, or were
Intended to be, the Ledgers as it were in
which are, or in which should be, regularly
and Understandings posted up the financial
business and condition Of the county; the
money received for Taxes, Fines, Schools,
Internal improvements, &C., and how and
to whom when and for what purposes it has
been paid out. This is what the laws Con
tempL1te-this is what tie laws will efectif
proper persons are chosen TO understand and
obey them. The writer of this, however,
knows a county in which the people have
been paying double taxes in order to make
up the absolute losses occasioned by ~sloyen-

was ga good, clever fellow" and was cleo

was, having neither experience nor patienc
to acquire it that he scarcely left a paper
or a record in his Office in a shape or con-
dition to base a suit upon. Twill not name
the county, for he yet has many friends and
relatives init, together with many members

mortified by his utter failure in an
Office which their mistaken kindness mot

De DaO logic 10 ihiel 'ho' " "e"Ns Inv
whole. In no case Isl portion of a thing
equal to the whole; nor the whole merely
equal to a portion. 1t can be demonstrated
that the whole of a thing is equal to all its
parts. 1t is a safe rule, and easy of remem-
brance. Should, however, a doubt arise,
one good example is of Importance: recol-
lect that to make a whole lin animal life }

IL The prrs"nt situation of the Wing
press reminds us Of Esop's fable of the old
wet hen, anxiously and Iaboriously, INNING
clucking and fussing round the hnarsin OF
a pond, while g part of its charge-a duck
ling was Iuxuriating, delighted, OIL the sur
face of the water. Observe the foot Of the
anxious mother drawn up to its greatest
tension, as it stands upon the other, its
neck is twisted round almost to dislocation,
while its parted bcak and dilated eye show
the excessive fright OF the poor tIembler.
ALI! that anxious clucE, cluck, is distress
ing.
How useless would it be to attempt to
convince that poor thing, that the daring
chick was no part of her progeny. She
would cite You to the remains Of the she'll
that was pipped some days ago. The chick
is her chick-it is no duckling.
Just so the Wig editors, in their exccs-
sivc anxiety about Gen. Tay lor, are exact
counter parts to the hen aforesaid. He
walks not in their footsteps. He picks up
no grains of their scratching. He uttcrs
NJ responsive ciirp to their anxious cluck.
He lives not even on the same clcment;-
Yet "Taylor is a whig," and if they don't
believe that, ga Clay whig!!" On this
subject, reason is wrong, logic superluous.
The shell OF republicanism that encases the
feelings Of all parties in these United States,
is tr~iumphantly pointed out, as though it
could denote the species that zane from it.
The truth is amongst republicans (and
what American is not republican, wheth-
er in the Army, the Navy, or in foreign.
lands, who are thus removed from the fine
distinctions of party, each and every one of
them tends 20 Democracy-Dcmocracy too
in its broadcast principles. This feeling is
insepcrablc from their situation. Facts
are flung before them broadcast, and ti.cy
at once on their merits. Especially
is this the case with the military. 1t would
be perfectly safe to say, that no one can
point to any military man, who has been
occupied as he ought to have been, with
duties of his profession, and say .'that
man is a Wing" much less ga Clay Whig.'I
They do not enquire if Clay, or Webster,
or Benton, o. C~,lhoun, or Adams, said thus
and so; but what face does the fact present.
and decide upon its merits without regard
to party action.
Such is Gen. Taylor; and if elected Presi-
dent, so will he act. We would spare our
neighbors Of the press the modification Of
disappointment. If hereafter, they should
Taylor with :reachery, because they,
suppose, or feign to suppose him a Wing,
as the did Tyler, it will subject them to
dcrision instead of sympathy.
