OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES DiGerencc.

When Gen. jackson came into power,
the Offices of the Government were a.
bout equally divided between the two
parties of The country. 1t would natu-
rally be supposed that few changes would
be made aud these only for good cause
shown. What was the sequel!
In the first year of the Jackson dynas.
~. fifteen Ministers. Plenipotentiaries,
Charges, and Secretaries of Legation
nine Marshals-fiftecn u. S. Attorneys
fnriy- eight Collecturs and Revenue off
cers--nine Indian and Navy Agents
tweniy.six Receivers and Registers of
Land offices--twenty one Cousuls--and
four hundred and ninety-one Post Mas
ters were removed directly by the Execu.
tive. In addition to these there were an
immense number Of secondary removals.
amounting in all, in one year, to over tho
thousand. And yet Gen. Jackson had
found no man in Office. who had received
his place by the prescription Of another
Monroe and Adams had avoided il. Then
practice was to distribute the Offices, as
equally as possible, between the member.
of the two parties.
At such time and under such circum.
stances, it would naturally he supposed
that opposition would have been made to
prescription. by the party who now call
it "infamous"--"a simoon"- unjust" &c.
But no. 1t was reserved to another
time and for entirely different circumstan.
ces. When the Offices had been filled
by prescription, and the tide had chang
ed, these men, who have such holy hor.
ror of the practice, could not see their par.
ty friends elected from places, which they
had received by the prescription of 9th
ers.
When Gen. Taylor came into office,
says the Trenton Gazette, there was not
a Wbig holding the Office of Minister at a
Foreign Court, not Wing Charge d'Af
faires, not Wing Consul, not a Whie
Collector. Surveyor. Naval officer, or Ma.
Wy Agent; not Wing Marshall, Land
office Register or Receiver; not Whig
Sub Treasurer, or even Post Master
where the latter Office was worth having
The vindictive policy of Jackson, Van
Buren, Tyler and Polk had scarcely lsf
a Whigin any Office, certainly not an of
6ce desired by aparty leader.
Yet the men. who supported the vim
dictive policy Of these men, especially OF
Jackson who found the patronage of Gov
ernment equally divided, now raise or,
Of prescription against the present Ad
ministration, because they consider il
their duty to prescribe the men, who re
ccived their places by tho prescription
of other and better meul
With all their howlings, they car
scarcely convince the people that they
are not arrant demagogueS and hypo
critics.

SPURN NOT THE POOR.

Spurn not the poor man, spurn him not,
Though horny be his hands;

Upon his sunburnt face;

Can never thee disgrace.

And his poor clogs be dingy brown.
And shspeless on his feet.
Yes. his extsrios may be ride,

And his connexions be among
