Two opposite CurTcOts-Tho virginia hAecNo"s'
There two systems of removals in operation;
but unlike the harmonious movements OF the planetary
SYSTEM they clash and counerac each other One Is the
system OF removals going Washington by the Exec
uve and the other is the removal OF its friends by the
peopH themselves Virginia has lately presented three
or four remarkable of removals Connecticut three
others and should not be surprised if Indiana, Mary
land, Kentucky, NC, TO initiate the example, and
cut of the administration from majority in the next
House Those who play at bowls must expect rubbers
and those who impatient TO punish their enemies
may expect chastsement in their turn from the hands OF
the people.
The wing organs have been endeavoring for days
past to break the force OF their defeat in the Old Domn
ion. 1t was only day before the election, that
the President faered with the assurance of his
minor ogan that the popularity of the administration had
been raised high in Virginia. that eleUen least of the
fifteen mem bes of Congress from that State would be
chosen TO carry out his "no party" "antiproscptive"
policy. Fortunately, however, the promises made by
that party before the election which brought them
into power, not OF such antiquity to have
escaped the recollection of the people The solemn pro-
LESSONS made bua few months SINCE that no shall
be prescribed for opinions sake" nvidously
compared with the ruthless decapitaons by the soon
stutonal axe" of the excellent gentleman" in the
Post Office Department, and by other officers under
the government; and hence the prostration of that
generous confidence in the o-pary" candidate which
his democratic friends in the Old Dominion exhibited
the late presidential election But times change, and
men change with them" Out OF the eleven who were
to to Washington to support the constitutional
axe" system, all appear at present, with the exception
of one have taken wing and that lone star elected
by the votes of the democras! 1t is clear that the
wing members cannot exceed two-probably only one.
The administration has by this time discovered that all
the powers of prescription not in its own hands
There is far higher power, which, when exerted,
render mpotent for mischief and whose warning voice
has already been heard at the North and at the South in
tones not be unheeded-tha injustice and oppression
shall be prescribed.
Nor is it alone in the disastrous results of the recent
elections that the fruits OF the duplcity OF the
wings in the recent Scarcely had the admins
tation been indicted into office, before the elements of
discord, if not of dissolution, began to develop them
selves The cohesive power of plumber" has strength
sufficient unite those whose claims for patronage
rewarded. The unsuccessful applicants all dissatis
fed, and vowing vengeance against their fou
nate competitors, and against the administration. The
description given of these adverse patriots in New
York letter is but faint picture OF the reality
have it from reliable sources, well from the wing
papers themselves. Every day shows, We long since
predicted would be the case, that the great wing mo
party" party is not moving quite harmoniousy the
planetary SYSTEM and that the expression may be literally
fulfilled, that the "no-pary" party may at last become
no party at all.
