The daily union. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1845-1857, 1849-04-19

The correspondent of the Philadelphia Inquirer (whg)
hints that the may be suspended for few days. in
of the absence of of the principal exc
cutioners 1t is understood here Cat Washington says
the correspondent that Mr. Ewing, Secretary OF the
Navy, [the Interior,] will leave Washington for his
home, Ohio to, morrow, where he will remain for cou.
pie of weeks. 1t has also been intnaed to of the
Phiadelphans now here, that in consequence of this
and the absence also of Mr.. Preston, the PHILADELPHIA
appointments will not be made until after their return,
nor any others of prominent character" The
spondent OF the Pennsylvania writes to the effect
viz: Young, it is now supposed, will certainly be
collector of New York, though not until after the
return OF the cabinet two of whom will be absent
for couple of weeks, at least will any Phla.
dephia appointments, it is understood, be made in the
mean time. General Taylor having himself. yesterday,
am informed, made declaration to this effect"
When Mr. Ewing returns, then the Virginia election
will be over; the eager wing comorants will have
become inpatient for the spols and the will
go on more gingerly than The correspondent Of
the Inquirer holds much comfortable doctrine for
the Office seekers than for the office holders, viz that Sin
all revolutions of parties in this country similar revou
tons in the disposition of the federal patronage to be ex

select the prominent agents to be employed not only in
carrying the machinery of the government, but in
rying out his views and policy"
The New York Express maintains the same proscrp-
tive policy. though under another forma form rather
more SUBTLE but sophistcal, insidous, and dis
graceful:
The President cabinet administration, all whig-not

it is sometimes necessary to do
"A little wrong"
where retaliation becomes necessary; but
is wrong insist that all incompetent persons shall DO

favor. We day by day more and amazed at the
planning the President and his cabinet for the changes
which have been made and in regard these changes
hope we have only seen the beginning OF the end.
This sophistical doctrine being admitted the next
step soon follows; for, if it be just fill vacancies ex
cusively with whgs to relieve the prescribed citizens
of half the Union. it is equally just to create thee
very uacanees to do great right" Yet there is moth

he declared himself the candlst, OF party, and hahe

all the holders prepare for their fate if this mans
advice be followed at court; for knows when
