 But Hhile we love the SsiB0n-pure article, there is counterfeit which is worse ti4R spurious Lee piils--a humility which casts shadow uron the sfirit ard Iobs M of iis refreshing dew: such the Quaker had. and which eansesi Dr. Franklin to say, .. Friend, believe thou art proud ot thy humility"

We think that the difference between the .7Ittsoa fier and the in which the Executive has carried out tie pledges therein contained, has had Iiile 10 o wiih this matter, snd the general want of candor the part ot ile leaders of the great whlg party has been ample for all inc rest.

 We were under the impression that new oTCan was about to be created in our city, called " The Repubise:" but we have read the paper. and while acknowledge its merits, we are boad to say that i IS SO near the ed " Battery in sentiment, that one could hardly tell 'cher from which, especially the :" Battery" This fsiarr. aiier SO much groab- ing. is for humiliation the part of the whIg party. and as pretty much all tine officers of the church are whigs, we presume the prayer ot penl- tcaee will he pretty loud aud full.
 The new city postmaster, we understand, entered Hroa the iatIes of his office Sunday morning. and carried with him (by way of parenthesisl chiet clerk alter his own heart This dissertation Of the Sabbath is also subject for repentance and prayer, and our pous Postmaster General should wrestie little with BeeIzebub account of The strange sacreg- of his deputy. Look where we will. we see such terrible spcciscles of depTsviiy that we begin to expect a new Cromwell and a civil war.

 The removal of sundTy clei Ks from the Postofhce Department, aiter the very fine speech made 10 lhein by the Postmaster General upon his entering upon the dnties of his office. which. the lawyers say, merely Nisi,"-sublect to revision upoh further reasction-and ihe appointment of indisid. uAis who will require years oi close application to fit thein for their duties, matters which the country will feel the most interest in and the effects ot which, Ia our opinioa will require little more lasting heeaier the part of both Church and Saie. Bat the PIesident Is not responsible for this stale of things. The President never makes any removals: the President has nothing to do with the public offices: the President IS constitutional President, and only stands by a; salary of S2j 001 per snnum, to that nobody burps up Ie archives pulis down inc Pubhc buildings, os builds War steamers ior treemen iu Europe.
 An omnipotent cabinet is a strange order of atisocracy in our countiy-A sort ol star I-ebanber court, that IS offensive 10 freedom. niagosiIca al 10 liberty. and in violation of the constitution. The sooner this irresponsible tyaa is dethrohed, the better; and It fasting and praying will wipe np the cabinet, we trust that modieum of each may bs applied 10 this desirable o5jrei.
