.The struggle which the Hungarians have made
since last October for their independence against the
powerful empire of Austria, has not attracted SO much
attention amid the tremendous scenes every day
acting in all parts of Europe as 1T would otherwise
have done. Upon closer view of the subject, we
disposed to nk that it has been heroic as any
which has occurred in modern times, and therefore
as well entitled to the sympathy ofallmen who abhor
tyranny, and wish all nations to enjoy the degree
of happiness, under free government, with which
we are blessed. ithSt

THE DIFFERENCE Between A DeMocRAr1c AND
WHIG ADMINISTRATION. In November, 1910, Gull
/ ford G. Claiborne, of Columbia, Lancaster county,
Pennsylvania, lost an arm in firing salute in honor
of the federal victory, which carried Gen. Harrison
into the presidential chair. In March 184I Francis
Granger, Postmaster General under Cen Harrison,
removed DR.. Thomas from the post Office at Coum-
bla, because he was democrat, and appointed Gull
! ford G. Claiborne in his place. In 1896 when James
X. Polk came into power of the democratic cit
izens of Columbia, believing that injustice had been
done in the removal of DR.. Thomas without cause
asked for the removal of Mr.. Claiborne but Mr. Polk
and the Postmaster General refused to comply with
the request of portion of their democratic friends
and continued and subsequently reappointed Mr.. Cai
borne, because of the unfortunate accident which had
occurred him, although it had occurred in rejoicing
over the democratic cause. 90" -, = "'@-' Z. :
Now mark the contrast. On the 23d Of February
1847 Mr. Law, of Lawrenceburg, Indiana lost an arm
whilst fighting the battles of his country by the side
of General Taylor the bloody but glorious field Of
Buena Vista. When Mr.. Law returned home manned
and disqualified for many of the more active pursuits
| of life the Postmaster General under Mr.. Polk ap-
pointed him postmaster of his village, and when Gen
erai Taylor was elected under the solemn pledge that
he had no friends to reward or enemies to punish Mr.
Law had just right to suppose that the gallant Gen
eral under whom he had shed his blood and lost an
arm would never consent to his removal. Yet, not
withstanding General Taylors pledges and Mr.. LAVE
services, he has been turned out of his little Office
