THE UNION AND PRESCRIPTION.

The Editor Of the Union protests yehemently
that he has always both in Richmond and Wash
ington, so far as he is personally concerned been
opposed 70 proScrpton-that he never cave let-
tiers Of recommendation to applicants FOR Office
under Jackson or Van Burcn-and that. on com
ing 10 W ashingtOn, he determined to take no
part in the removals and appointments under Mr..
Folks Administration Admitting al this, 10
what does it amount The determination TO re-
commend no one, if rigidy adhered to- doubtless
saved him an immense amount Of importantly and
embarrassment, and avoided The necessity Of de-
Gliding upon rival claims and thus running the
ri>li OF offending personal or party friend. Such
a course Of Northumberland may be justified By.
and referred To- the most selfish considerations,
and We know has been adopted BY men who hold
to the Marcy creed. Without Questioning the
vcracity of the Editor, we see no evidence of his
being opposed, on principle, to prescription, in
the avowal Of "a mastery inactivity" which pru-
dence and policy alike suggested The true
question is did he, as the Editor of the leading
paper Of the South for many wears, and after
wards the organ Of the late Administration. On
any one occasion raise the ainteSt whispero dis
approhation-did he ever ''hestate dislike. of
the ruthless prescription which marked the ad-
vent Of JaCkSonSm and was systematically pur-
sued by Van Buren, and Polk If he can BRO
duce, from the files of the Enquirer or the t.
mon, one single paragraph however brief from
his pen, which indicates that he did not approve
of removal from Office for opinions sake then
may he avail himself ofthe plea which he now
sets up. Until he do this, or until he show bv
any kind Of evidence that he employed Lis inAu-
ence with Mr. Polk, Or any one else, to arrest the
operation of the SYSTEM he cannot wonder that
his attempt, at this late day, to clear himself of
whatever guilt there may be in prescription.

GROANS OF THE GUILLOTINED.

The Union, having invited all who were dis
missed from Office to make its columns the re-
pository Of their private gricfs and party wrongs,
was favored with jeremiad from Mr.. 70. Glen
PEBBLES, who, AZ he informs Us, twisted Wash
ington whilst engaged in literary pursuits and
afterwards, out of pure good nature, as we infer,
lat the suggestion and solicitation of a friend en-
tered upon some duties nathe principal office Of
the War Department" Mr. Marcy gave him af-
forwards a permanent clerllship. OF late. the
President and Secretary have been troubled BY
some Of this geDemans creditors, and he was
removed from office. He wrote very singular
letter to the Secretary at War, in which he de-
MES bis right TO remove him. In bis commune
cation to The Union, be quotes parts Of letter
addressed by Mr. Mcpherson, the clerk in whose
Office he was employed, to the friend who had
procured his appointment. BY omissions and
garbling this extract is made 10 appear testirno-
NAL to his efficiency as a clerk Mr. Mcpherson
Justly indignant at the suppression, has address
ed a note TO the Union and published the whole
letter. which tcStfes to bis neniciencv in conse-
qucnce of his pecuniary embarraSsments Mr.
Mcpherson further states this Mr.. PEBBLES 'fcer-
tainly was not known in the Office as Democrat
but, on the contrary, was sustained BY Wing in
fluencc." The Union makes an apology for in
sorting Mr. PEBBLES communication, and gives
the answer as ''an act of justice to the Admins
ration, Mr.. Mcpherson and ourselG" We opinc
that Mr.. PEBBLES hurts the Administration quite
as much as Mr.. Stubs.
We hope the Union made early application for
his 'Illiad Of woes TO the victim Of more recent
case Of atroclous prescription in the Navy De-
partment. 1t is quite romance. The details,
worked up by the new writer for the ex-organ,
would be touching in the extreme would 90

mocracy; and roll upon the devoted head Of Mr..
VIM. Ballard Preston tide of oboquy from

with some hints Of the scandal-but we insist up
on Mr.. Broome giving US in the Union, the
whole Of his story.

The Union cavils at Mr.. Raleigh Travers Dan
ePS address (see another column to Gen. Tav-
Tor, on presenting the Sword voted to him by the
State Of Virginia. 1t does justice 70 its beauty
and eloquence, but condemns the political alIu-
sion, which it contains. The only ausion of
this character Is in the short paragraph, common
cling ''Sir it for the sterling qualities Of head
and heart &C." Let the reader turn TO it and see
if he can find any thing which is obnoxious to
criticism except of the most captious ordcr.-
The address, doubtless, had received the appro-
baton Of the Committee composed Of Wings and
Democrats. We doubt not the objection of a
single member would have sufliced for the stri-
king out Of any sentence. We deny that the rad
dress exceeds the object Of the commission
which the Committee was appointed to execute"
We have not doubt, had General Tayloe found
it convenient TO visit Richmond and receive, in
the Capitol, this splendid testimonial ofthe CRATE
full appreciation Of his services BY his native
State, that Governor Floyd, Democrat though he
be, would have alluded to his elevation to the
Presidency, in terms not less glowing and com
pimentary than those employed BY the Chair
man of the Committee. Mr.. Daniels total 81
lence of the subject would have been in bad
taste. This objection Of the Union is purely
captious and does it little credit.

It's generally understood that the Governor
Of Illinois will call extra Session Of the Legs
lature, for the purpose Of electing Senator of
the United States. The late General Shields,
Mr. Breese, Mr.. McClernand and Mr.. Went

We do not see the use of the Legislature elect

return next winter and claim seat. He cannot
