Hon. Alexander Ramsay, who has just been APP
pointed Governor OF Minnesota Territory, Is young
lawyer OF Harrisburg, Pa. We knew him when he
was first admitted 10 the bar, and for some years
after. His heart, however, was not Ia his PROBES
sion and he devoted his attention almost solely 10
politics. and he was grent on the stump amongst
the ragged shirt democracy especially. Being as
familiar with the German language MS his mother
tongue he often addressed the Dutch democracy In
that language, sometimes interspersng his speeches
with good round Dutch oaths. As he was sharp
thorn In lhe side OF Locofocoisn, they on occa-
sion sought to crafty their feelings Of revenge against
him for violating the statne against profanity by
bringing him before magistrate to answer for the
offence. The day of trial arrived, and Mr. Ramsay
was soemnly arrnigned before his Dutch Justice
ship, good simple hearted Mynheer, for the crime.
Mr.. K. made no defence indeed he admitted every
thing, but when asked why sentence should not be
passed upon him, he COMPOUNDED his Judge and pros
ccutors by demanding to be pointed TO the legal en-
actment against siredring IN Dutch. This was far.
ther than the Judicial knowledge Of the Justice had
ever penetrated into the mysteries Of the law, and he

SO after rackng his brain for some time for prece-
dent by which he might be guided in the premises,
and holding an anxious consultation with his advise
ers he erayey decided that the statutes Of Pennsyl
vunia did not forbid man from swearing In Dutch,
and Mr.. Ramsay was discharged, again TO disturb
the peace and harmony Of Locofocoism In that re-
gion. He Is now Governor Of new and furnishing

pointee, in the judgment Of the people, less
qualified than the displaced officer What
proof is this fact, alone, that the appointing
power has been guilty Of violating his pledges,
that competency, honesty and fidelity should
be the elements Of good officer None
whatever. There may have been error Of
iudgment--that is the most that can be said.
When the charge is made, therefore, that
Gen. TAYLOR has violated his pledges, not
to appoint any but competent, honest and
faithful men to Office, or to retain only such
in office, our opponents should remember,
that he himself is the sole judge Of the com
potency, honesty and fidelity Of the appoin-
tee or incumbent, not his objcctors, not his
accusers. The duty Of the press and Of the
people is, to pass upon the act after it is ac-
complished, and in no case is there nccessa-
rily aviolation Of pledges, unless it can be
shown that the appointee or incumbent has
been expressly put in or kept in upon grounds
different from those assumed in the pledges.
1t is no violation Of thosepledges, if the APP
pointing power has more confidence in an APP
pointee or incumbent, who besides coming
up to the standard laid down, has the addi-
tional recommendation Of thinking alike with
the appointing power upon the public policy

RARREN SEED.

We were sure that the Union would drop
Mr.. PEEBLEs, when it should come to know
Of him, as quickly as it would hot iron
thrust unknowingly into its hand, And we
would here suggest to our contemporary,
that Of such stuff, and even worse, are made
all the cases Of displacement over which he
sheds 50 many tears. We advise him, if he
would have peace and clear conscience, to
cease his eternal lamentations over those
public servants whom the Administration
shall remove, for he may be assured that all
he can say, will not arrest the determination
Of Gen. TAYLOR to purify and elevate the
official corps, and besides, he ought to know
that the people never trust or believe the
representations Of removed public officer,
so that no political capital can ever be made
out Of such material 1t has been tried over
and over again, and It has failed, But, says
the Union, the blood Of the martyrs is the
seed Of the church. If this be true, why is
il that the Wing church did not come into
existence long ago. God knows, it was
watered by the blood Of martyrs, in sufficient
abundance to have brought il into power after
the first four years Of JACKSON. We are
willing to let our opponents have all the ben
efts Of the blood Of the marty rs, for politca
capital sake, il it will consent that we shall
have their seats Of power. We speak, OIL
course, in political sense. The blood o
the martyrs under this Administration, the
Union viii find to be at best, but barren

Nowhere else is there such need Of fearless, out

not only from the prospect Of Executive or Congress
