OFFICE SEEKERS.

We learnfrom our correspondent that the
Capitol, this winter, has been crowded with
hungry applicants for office. There is no
doubt an over portion at this session of the
Legislature. for seldom has the City wit
messed such scenes of political excitement.
These gentry who were so sadly disappoin-
ted, in their expectations of revealing in the
spoils of the National offices, have hocked
to Jefferson in the hope of being par,cipa.
tors in the distribution of the State spols
So long as the party TO which they were
attached held the sway in the National
council; these gentlemen mot q small por-
ton of whom occupy seats in the legisa-
ture) were content 10 abide their time, and
the inordinate desire for Office kept them
TO all appearance firmly united, each trust
ing TO his own sagacity for the attainment
of his end. But so soon as these cherished
hopes and expectations, are so sadly over
thrown, by the triumph ofthe people and
the establishment of correc, principles, in
the elevation Of General Taylor to the Pres
idency. Then it is that the true objects
and designs of the political gamblers are
exposed to public view; and in the s,rug-
giles for the spoils, each faction exposes the
hypocrisy Of the other, and in each we have
beautiful specimens, of the time serving peo-
pie louing harmonious democracy. We have
heretofore noticed some of the acts of the
dominant party in the Legislature in regard
to the election Of Bank officers as devel.
oping their true designs. The course pur.
sued by some of the prominent members Of
that body no doub. struck with surprise
most Of our readers 10 this section of the
State. For ourselves we confess, that when
we see long cherished political as well as
personal friendship sacrificed TO the desire
of individual promotion, regardless of the
consequence, SO far as the interest of the
community is at stake; we cannot but Deep
ly regret tina, the political government Of
onr State, is under the control of such poll.
iticians. We shall not hesitate toexpose a,
all times the duplicity Of these gentlemen
and trust to the decision Of an intelligent
people TO mete out to the undeserying ius,
retribu,ion.

TRAGIC OCCURRENCES.
A MAN KILLED BY HIS OWN WIFE IN
ATTEMPTING TO ROB HIMSELF.

We have intelligence from Schuyler county, Of
one Of the most tragic incidents it has been our
province to record. The exact date of the trans
action, we have not yet ascertaned, but i, was
only q week or two since. IL appears that Mr..
Weaherford, the Sheriff OF Schuyler, on the day
previous to his intended departure for Jefferson
City, with the State revenue which he had col.
lected and then remaining in bis house. (amount.
ing to two or three thousand dollars) left homo
telling his wife that he would no, return until the
succeeding day. and enjoining her not to permi,
any travellers to enter the house and remain
all night. Abou, nightfall, however, an old
man called. and requested entertainment. IL
was 8, first refused, but upon his representing his
(eebleness and ill>health and the distance il wss
10 another house, he was permitted to stay. After
supper had been given him, he retired to bed
About 9 or 10 o'clock, while Mrs. w. was still
up and sitting by the FIRE, three men with their
faces BACKED and otherwise disguised, came 10
the house and entered. They demanded Of Mrs.
w. the money that was in the house. She res
fused protesting there Yves none there; but they
insisted. and by threats compelled her 10 point

marvellous. and almost exceed belief. But from
all we can ascertain they are too painfully true.
