| Undoubtedly, much of the vtupcration and abuse
which the democratic organs pour ont upon the new
Administration account OF removals from office
is altogether pnerilc and grautous. 1t is unreason
able to suppose that when either Of the great parties
Of the country comes into power, no changes are to
be made amongst the Officials Of the Government.
There is obvious propriety and Justice in making
new appointments, and of course also in removing
the present incumbents to make room for the friends
Of the new dynasty. No one can reasonably object
10 moderate and ludcious exercise of the power Of
making removals and appointments, which the Con-
sitution vests in the Executive department of the
Government. But there ought to be limit to the
exercise Of this power. II may be carried too far. II
may be made the instrument OF tyranny and corrup-
ton. The power was wisely bestowed, In order TO
accomplish salutary purposes. II was designed TO
aid the Executive In the faithful efficient and intel
gent administration of the important affairs of tho
general Government. All this Is well known to the
Ii cannot be denied, however, that the abuse of
the appointing power had become, previous TO the
election Of the present chief magistrate Of the United
States, an evil OF formidable magnitude For num-
Der OF years prior to that event great deal Of
ruplion had characterized the policy Of the Adj
mnistration In reference to removals and appoint
ments. Appointments 10 Office had been made the
reward of partisan services incompetent and I'M
faithful men were placed in positions of trust, and
the public interest suffered. The public has not for
gotten the many fragrant cases Of defnlcation and
mnlfeasance which naturally resulted from such
system. At Washington the departments became
crowded with ignorant, indolent, and unprncipled
individuals who were 100 lazy TO dig, and TO beg
were not ashamed. The public business was per-
formed in careless and slovenly manner. In many
OF the departments II was almost Impossible to get
any case attended 10 in a satisfactory manner The
evil became in fact inioerable, and Of the most
influential motives with thousands Of voters through.

DEAD TIM b Err.

The. Union is shocked even unto tears that
any Democrat should be displaced by the
Administration. II positively refuses to be
consoled in its grief. Had Gen. CAss been
elected, we have reason to believe, that some
two hundred Democrats in this city were
marked for removal, and we have further rea-
son to believe, that the Union would have
indicated the necessity IF such step, on
the score Of incompetency. In consdera-
ton Of this circumstance alone, we think the
Union ought not to take the action Of the
Administration so to heart, but there is an
other reason for.hushng up its complainings,
and that is, as the Democrats consider them
selves certain to be in power in 1852, they
will find the ground occupied by their oppo-
nents, whom they can displace promptly,
should they succeed, without any compunc-
tons Of conscience, and whose places they
can supply with young Democrats. Nay,
we think, that the Union and the Democrat
ic party ought rather to rejoice than weep,
that Gen. TAYLOR is SO efectualy purifying
the public offices Of all the dead timber which
Gen. CAss intended to remove

Early on The morning Of Tuesday, eight negroes
came into Vidalia aud haxng found the jailor told
him that they,---all of them, belonged 10 Windsor
Forest plantation but had been runaways from f.
for some months owing to the cruelty Of the negro
oyorseer on that plantation; that being unable long
or to live In the woods they had agreed 10 return
home on Monday night last, but, before doing so,
determined to propose TO the negro oyerseer 10 sub
nit to light punishment for their offence, and II
he did not agree to their proposal 10 kill him that
with this determination they went into the GUAR
ters," made the proposal for a moderate punishment
to the negro oyersccr, and, it having been rejected
and severe punishment threatened, they killed him
with sticks They told the jailor that all of their
number were implicated in the murder and had now
come forward TO give themselves into the hands Of
Justice. The time OF their surrender was at or near
day break.
All Of these negroes were straightway committed

eeeded 10 the scene Of the described murder and
held the proper inquest. They found the negro
overseer dead without the skin of any part of his
body having been scratched even. ne had been
